“Home away from home” This is an an excellent find on the Coral Coast. From the booking process, to the service provided by the staff, it was a wonderful experience. It is close to supermarket, servo, restaurant, bottle shop. There is also a hire car in the servo if you want to explore the area. Fresh fruits and vegies are abundant in little road side markets and if you need a fe luxuries, there is the Naviti resort and Hideaway resort where you can purchase some last minute things like sensible shows to wear to the waterfall at Biausevu. However, I recommend you pack this yourself when you travel as they are at resort prices. Sigatoka is 20 minutes away if you want something else that the local supermarket doesnt stock but you wont need to. You are treated like royalty here away from the hustle and bustle of busy resorts. Take advantage of having a lovo cooked meal by Lolo the housekeper, her husband who is a chef at the Warwick resort and the gardner. Most delicious meal and I would recommend you do the shopping for this yourself. Ask Lolo for what to buy. Lolo also cooked us amazing Fijian meals. She really is a gem. I recommend this for a quite laid back holiday.

“Second Stay...still perfect!” This was our second stay at this wonderful hide away. Everything was again, just perfect. The children had a great time, we were spoilt by the staff and Patrick the owner. He went out of his way to ensure our stay was as perfect as the first. This is the only place to stay in Fiji. Private, great value for money and nothing was too much trouble. We have booked again for our third stay next year.....can't wait!

“Experience the real Fiji!” Our party of 9 adults and 1 child were in Fiji attending a wedding of our brother at one of the top resorts. We chose Heavensdoor as it would accommodate our entire family and was budget conscience. I'm so glad we did! Not only did the villa accommodate us all very comfortably, but we found that had we stayed at one of the larger resorts we would of had a very different experience, one that really would not of shown us what Fiji is really about. Our first impression of Heavens door was the hill. Although daunting, especially with a rental car packed full of adults and luggage, the views make it all worthwhile. We were recommended 4WD vehicles by the owners and made it comfortably up in 2WD even with challenging weather conditions. The views at the villa are amazing, with 180deg Coral coast views. Each morning we were welcomed by sights of the locals fishing, as well as the gorgeous blue ocean dotted with boats. The gardens were immaculate, and are a credit to Scott and the hard working staff. Our first afternoon at the villa was "weather-challenged" with the first big storm of the season just as we were unloading our luggage. Not only did Scott try to warn us of the impending storm with the cell phone that accompanies the propoerty but he also personally made sure by coming up the hill and letting us know the ins and outs of the property before the weather hit. We found Scotts knowledge of the area of great use, and loved that he was willing to have a chat about all our activities and give us some pointers. Our Fijian feast was beautiful and tasted great. Having some picky eaters in the group, no one left hungry which is testament to the great flavours and fresh produce. The presentation was beautiful and it was nice to come home to a hot meal after a day of exploring. As a whole our experience in Fiji was made so much better staying at Villa Lomagi. We were free to experience the local markets, travel to waterfalls, and see what Fiji is all about.

“Memorable 40th Birthday In Paradise” I chose Coral Palms to celebrate my 40th birthday with a large group of friends, 19 of us ranging in ages from 4 - 43 years. Coral Palms met the needs of every single one of us. The house, the entire property is amazing. The suites are large with lovely ensuites. The pool, sun lounges, and outdoor decking area with couches, swinging chair and outdoor dining table were where we loved to spend most of our days and nights relaxing. The beach and lagoon were simply stunning. White sand leading to warm, torquise water perfect for snorkelling and discovering the pretty fish and coral below the surface. The staff at Coral Palms were extremely helpful and accommodating without being intrusive. Shereen, Jabina, Bibi and Indar were just lovely. Our daily muffins were a hit with adults and kids alike. Our evening meals (all cooked by the house girls) were delicious and I highly recommend paying the small fee to have the girls cook your dinner. The pool is always kept clean as are the gardens and grounds. We all loved our massages, manicure and pedicures. The hair braiding was a real hit with our little girls too. We really enjoyed the experience of visiting the local school. The hermit crab race was a lot of fun. And our finale bonfire night with fireworks was the perfect end to our memorable stay. I highly recommend pre ordering meat and alcohol with Elaine the owner. It is very good quality and it was so easy having it all waiting for us on arrival. A special mention must go out to Elaine who was always happy to answer any question or enquiry we had along the way. Her assistance ensured everything went smoothly leading up to and during our stay. The resident care takers during our stay were Mike and Cheryl. What a lovely, welcoming couple who made sure our stay was enjoyable and issue free. It was a real comfort to us to know they were right next door if anything went wrong, which thankfully it did not. We absolutely loved our stay at Coral Palms and have so many happy memories of our stay. I would recommend it to anyone wanting a luxury holiday in Fiji.

“You will not regret staying here” We spent 6 nights in this awesome villa. Shaan, Jess and all the staff were brilliant. The villa has the best setting right on the beach with an great view and very sheltered. We took advantage of the chef prepared meals and would definitely recommend you try these restaurant quality meals in your villa. On the last night had the local lovo dinner prepared in the garden - really yummy. We also booked in for a couple of in-Villa massages by Wati, this was a highlight of our stay. We used the free kayaks at the villa and explored the sheltered waters inside the reef. Shaan arranged for us to visit a local village with a gentle 30 min walk to a waterfall where we had a swim. We have snorkelled in Samoa, Vanuatu and the offshore islands of Fiji previously and this was the best. There an amazing variety of beautifully coloured fish right off the beach. We highly recommend this accommodation as compared to resort stays and the personal service of all the staff makes it stand out. We had an amazingly relaxing holiday and we would love to return.

“Nice house but somewhat remote location” There is no question that this house is amazing. The design is well thought out and the views are breathtaking. The owner is also very attentive to visitors with quick response time to any initiated contact. My only issue is that the location description is not exactly accurate. If you do not have a car, the location is a little remote. Just to get down the hill is a 15 minute walk and somewhat strenuous going up. There are only 2 restaurants within walking distance and still somewhat of a hike. To eat at a nice restaurant is easily a 20 minute drive. If you choose to eat in your meals, the nearby supermarket which is more of a 20 minute walk then 5 minutes, is really more a convenience store than supermarket. A true grocery store will require a 30 minute taxi ride to town. Using the recommended taxi service, the housekeepers husband, was not cheap. While we were a larger group, a party of 7, we found ourselves paying about $50 AUD for a round trip ride to dinner or the store. Our ride to the airport and a snorkeling trip were closer to $200 AUD. I would certainly recommend this home but would suggest you have a car!
