Our trip to Oneta was delayed a few days by a small cyclone, so we were stuck in Nadi. More than once we thought of just skipping it and going home. So glad we didn’t!! Once we finally got to the Kedavu airport, we were well taken care of. The boat ride over was fun, and we enjoyed the scenery and the flying fish. Everything at the resort is wonderful, from the accommodations to the food, and the staff is the absolute best-- fun as well as attentive. Jonani delivered hot water every morning, so we didn’t even have to heat up water for tea. There are plenty of snacks in case you get hungry, but we didn’t eat them all. Repeat: the staff is amazing! We never experienced one bit of a bad attitude. They seem to like each other, too. We noticed them doing things together, like hiking. We were only there 5 nights, so we didn’t meet everyone, but those we did meet totally made our trip. As for the food, after three meals a day, you would think we would get tired of eating at the same place, but we were amazed at the variety and how delicious it all was. I don’t know how to dive, but we went snorkeling every day, and the excursions are a great way to get to know some of the water/boat staff as well as the other guests (who were also all interesting and friendly). Every time we went on an excursion, it was as if we had the ocean and the snorkeling spots to ourselves. Once we saw another boat at the manta ray cleaning station, but that was it. We also kayaked and snorkeled right off the beach, and there are a lot of fish and turtles out there. You think there is no way a place deserves all these 5 star reviews, but Oneta does. I should add that the owner (Martin) and the manager (Richard) were very communicative and helpful from beginning to end. When our friends ask us where we stayed in Fiji, we tell them how much we loved Oneta. Thank you all for a great vacation!!! - via
