"We all came back feeling so refreshed — this trip was exactly what we needed as a family. There's plenty to keep you busy without ever leaving the resort; just make sure you book ahead. And honestly, the massage I had there? One of the best I've ever had.
One person who really made our trip special was Samuela from the horse stables. He was absolutely wonderful with our one-year-old, getting him all excited around the horses and even letting him try fresh coconut water straight from the tree — a first for our little one!
One thing to know before you go — the resort is a bit out of the way, so we'd really suggest hiring a rental car. It makes such a difference being able to explore at your own pace and see the real Fiji rather than just the tourist spots.
Speaking of which, Denarau is lovely but very touristy, so don't skip the island trips. Just head over to Port Denarau and choose which island takes your fancy.
We also had a brilliant dinner at Indigo Restaurant in Port Denarau — highly recommend it.
And for families travelling with little ones like us, South Seas Island was a perfect choice. We booked through GetYourGuide which worked out much cheaper, so definitely worth checking out."
