Bula Mike,
Wonderful trip.  I want to thank you so much for your great service to us.  We felt it in Fiji when the resort did some special birthday event for us.  And, we appreciated all your careful attention to helping plan our trip with the exceptional energy and always timely answers to questions from us.  Also, all the resorts we stayed at were wonderful about providing  excellent varieties of vegetarian and vegan meals.  Each place was different and suited our needs very well. Of course , that was a big concern for us and they communicated to us that they had heard our requests from you.

The travel connections were perfect, and easy and we thank you for that.   The diving was amazing and your advice about which places to go was great. 

Most of all, I felt that you carefully listened to our  particular needs and tried to help us figure out for ourselves a three week long trip in a far flung destination.  And, of course, when you were out of the office the travel agency was very efficient .

Of course, you will hear from us again when we are able to do another amazing vacation!

Thank you,

Mike,

Thanks for the follow up phone call to find out how our holiday and wedding went.

We all had a wonderful time, the resort was everything I had hoped it would be. The staff were really very friendly, as all Fijian people are, and we were welcomed into the family. The food was good, always offering fish, meat and a vegetarian option for lunch and dinner. There was certainly lots of it too! Then just in case you did feel hungry in between, there were always the cookies in your room, the cake in the afternoon or the never ending supply of cookies in the dining area.

I must admit I was a little worried about the wedding as we had had lots and lots of really heavy rain, but Kay said "have faith as everything always works out for the special day", and it did. We had glorious sunshine and everything was absolutely perfect.

Yosi took our photos and he is a very good photographer, I would recommend him to anyone.
I dived quite a lot and enjoyed every one, Bale the dive master really looked after me. I think he was sad to see me go and so was Kay. I really did not want to leave and shed more than a tear as we were going. I have been home now for 3 days and apart from seeing my cats I can still say I still do not want to be here. My heart is in Fiji.

I have attached a few photos for you to see of the wedding.

Thanks

Aloha Mike:

Want to thank you for a fabulous trip to Fiji.  You were worried we wouldn't like the Fiji Resort much, but let me tell you it was probably the best vacation week of our 60 year lives.  We landed in Taveuni and were picked up right on time by a wonderful young man who drove us to Paradise over the worst road.  When we finally got there, we were welcomed by the most wonderful people. We were escorted to our bure and were rewarded with a complimentary foot massage. From there it only gets better.  It turned out, we were the only guests at the resort for the first 3 days.  When other guests arrived our treatment never changed, everyone from the owners, Terry and Alan, to the Fijians that were tending to the grounds were so nice and genuine.  The  diving was fantastic, the food was outstanding, and the service was  unreal.  We did trips to the local village, waterfalls and took part in the weekly traditional feast. I was made Chief, drank a lot of Kava, and danced the evening away. When  we left we felt we were leaving family behind.

Thank You Melissa and Mike!  

We had a wonderful experience.  The accomodation at the Big Island condo was outstanding and made the trip! To return to the peace, quiet and natural beauty was the perfect close to each exciting day. Bill Meyers, the concierge at the resort, was very helpful in directing us to attrractions and restaurants we never would have found on our own.  We would like to thank you for your care and attention.  It is such a pleasure to receive excellent customer service.  (We had visited several travel agents in our home community and they just didn't seem to care.) 

Again THANK YOU.  We will be in touch for our next vacation.

Greetings!

As we’ve booked through McCoy in the past, we knew that every detail would be well thought out for us. Mike Brown is our agent and I take every opportunity to recommend him to friends, forum boards, etc.  Based on our travels to Fiji in the past (sans children), Mike was confident that the Fiji Resort would be a great fit for our entire family.  We were hesitant, as the cost was higher than other resorts, etc. As expected, Mike’s suggestion was spot on!  The resort was as wonderful as I had hoped…I take that back, it exceeded our expectations.  Rosie’s was perfect, our flights were flawless and the resort….well, it was superb!  It was as luxurious as the other Fiji resort, the staff were actually more consistently pleasant and the food?  Each morsel was a delight!  It was a perfect way to introduce our favorite place (Fiji) to our children.  I have a feeling that we’ll be back many, many times.

After spending some time on your website, I learned that you can also assist in travel elsewhere.  I plan on contacting Mike soon to start our (parental obligatory) spring trip to Disneyland!  ( :

Thanks again for a wonderful trip, McCoy Travel!

Bula -
Our Fiji trip went well.  The accomodations at the Fiji resort were perfect for us.  Mike was right on target for recommending this resort.  The bures have lots of space.  We had not problems with ours.

We loved the remoteness of the island.  The villagers made us feel very welcome.  A highlight was attending the intra-island, inter-school rugby tournament at one of the villages. 

The weather was not great so our diving was not as good as it could have been.  No one can control that.  The dive operation was a little bit more primitive than what we are accustomed to.  However since we were the only divers at the resort, we had plenty of room on the boat.  Also, the dive boat doubles as the guest transfer boat. 

Thanks for your assistance,

Hi Mike,

This e-mail is long overdue. The trip to Sydney/Melbourne etc. you arranged for us following Bula Fiji was wonderful. Every reservation from plane to hotel to bustrips was an absolute delight since it was exactly what we needed to see in such a short time and everything that was booked for us departed on time, the hotels comfortable, the buses clean. I could go on and and on but you can see we were very happy all the way through Australia. It was truly a memorable experience.

Thanks again for organizing the trip so thoughtfully, it is always a joy to work with you.

Our trip was FANTASTIC and we can't thank you enough for making everything happen without a hitch.  As much as we've traveled throughout the Caribbean, I think we'll be headed to the South Pacific from now on (don't worry, we'll book through you).  While you were correct that the air conditioning was not working at the Fiji resort, the ocean front Bure and the winter tradewinds made it quite comfortable.  Plus, I talked the manager into a couple of free spa treatments for the "inconvenience".  Nice resort and, although they've got a few minor growing pains to work through, we were very pleased.

As they say in Fiji, Vinaka (aka: Mahalo, thanks, etc.)

Dear Mike,

Just back from Fiji and wanted to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for recommending the Fiji resort. They were absolutely wonderful and make our wedding/honeymoon outstanding. The place was exquisite and the staff unbelievably attentive and warm. The wedding ceremony couldn't be more perfect. Swiss Fiji Diving also took very good
care of us,the divemaster has eyes like a microscope and showed up all kinds of cool stuff. Overall the best trip we've ever had and so happy we found you to coordinate this all for us. I plan to write a review on tripadvisor to let others know what a treasure the Fiji Resort was and how wonderful Mccoy Travel and you are.

Thanks again and we will absolutley remember you for our future vacations.

Dear Mike,
   
First, I would like to say we are not five star resort travelers. So my expectations going into this trip to the Fiji Resort were not five star expectations.  I loved the bungalows.  I thought the unlimited diving and snorkeling from the resort beach was some of the best I have done.  The resort staff was very nice and helpful.  Allen and I did one day of boat diving which was very nice, but it reconfirmed to me why I prefer live-a-board diving. (not the bobbing around while in the boat and easier exits from the water after the dive) We really enjoyed the opportunity to see the Fire Walkers and visit their village.  This was a HIGH point for us. 

In closing, I would like to say, we really enjoyed our stay and didn't let the down side of things cloud our overall experience.  I went to Fiji to scuba dive, bird watch and enjoy wonderful friends......I did all.  Hope this helps.

I really liked the Fiji Resort. I thought the units were magnificant..big roomy, comfortable. I loved the snorkeling and diving off the resort and the boat dives were fine. The dive people were great and helpful. I "eat to live" not "live to eat" so, to me, the food was fine. My only disappointment was the lack of any decent primary forest for birding, but this was not the fault of the lodge. The pick-up/transfer ws efficient and friendly.

I would rate our stay as excellent. Son Scott agrees. I was worried that after the other Fiji Resort we could not duplicate our experience..this was such a pleasant surprise.

Much Thanks,

I know you are way too busy for casual email  messages, but did want you to know that we really enjoyed working with you helping us plan our trip to Hawaii last summer.  It was beyond great and everything went very well.  We are keeping you in mind when we plan another big trip.  That black pearl story has me dreaming, as I purchased a ring and necklace while in Hawaii.  Fiji sounds just fabulous, we are dreaming of it in about two years.

Hi Mike,
We enjoyed our trip to Fiji. Air New Zealand is very nice and we had no complaints at all. We were met in Nadi by a very nice woman who helped us get checked in with Pacific Sun. That went smoothly too.

The Fiji Resort was awsome!

Everything was smooth on the way home too. We wish there could be a shorter lay over in Nadi, but we heard that compared to other traverlers, we actually did pretty well. Maybe a suggestion of a restaurant in Nadi might be good. Our lay over was in the evening and not long enough for a whole day at a hotel. We heard from some other travelers that their agent had gotten them into a lounge at the airport where the kids played computer and the mom got a massage. That would have been nice too. Those are my only suggestions. Otherwise it was great and went smoothly. We loved our trip.

Thanks,

Hi Melissa:

We had a terrific time in Fiji.  I found the people lovely and the resort was well run and a wonderful place to spend a week.  I would definitely recommend it — especially to people with kids as they really handle them and keep them busy from morning till night and that lets the parents have a good time, too.

The food was good.  There was only one dinner, where we ordered the salmon and the kitchen shouldn’t have let that piece of fish out on to floor as it was simply past its prime.  It was very fishy and not good.  But, that was one night, one entrée, out of 21 meals we had, so I have no complaint.

I thought the resort was lovely and that they did a great job of keeping everything fresh and looking good.  The tussles over the day beds were amusing, but that has less to do with the resort than with the people whom they’ve booked into the place! 

The folks from Rosie’s Travel were lovely and they took very good care of us at every point where they had that duty.

Anyway, that’s the report back.  Mike did a terrific job for us, and I’ll definitely call you when I’m planning my next escape!

Thanks.

Best -

Thanks for asking about the trip. The resort was wonderful, it met all of our needs and I would definitely put the Fiji Resort on your list to recommend to clients. The bure's are private and you do not hear neighbors, the activities are varied and cater to adults, kids and families. The food is fantastic, presented like art work, fresh and compares to some of the best restaurants in the world. As a single adult with a teenager, I appreciated the separation of activities and eating of families from adults. The adult pool, adult dining was perfect for someone who is past the "kid" stages of traveling. The best for last were the Fiji people themselves. They were attentive, lovely and the most gracious hosts. I would definitely go to this resort again.

Everything you booked worked very well and you were very accommodating. I really appreciated being able to call you with a heads up in case we missed a flight along the way.

Thanks for your service and support during the trip.

As you know, Mike put together a 10 night Fiji vacation package for my husband and myself leaving LAX on 2/22/07.

It was fabulous!  It far surpassed our expectations!  We had a GREAT time!

I had tried several local travel agents, but none had done any snorkeling in the area.  It was so helpful to talk to Mike, as he was very familiar with the area. He asked quite a few questions regarding our snorkeling experience in the Caribbean.  As we talked, he would clarify what he understood we wanted in Fiji.  That instilled a lot of trust. He  also asked what we wanted to spend, and put together a beautiful package that was well within our stated budget.  He even offered suggestions as to the best area to sit on the plane.  He was right.  It was very comfortable.  We are so pleased with Mike and your agency.  He was so prompt in his replies and so attentive to the details.  He did a great job for us.

The Fiji Resort was nice.  The second resort was so much fun.  We thoroughly enjoyed the design and openness of the facility.  The food was fabulous, way beyond our expectations.  So many guests realized what a unique experience this was with such a low census. It was so lively with guests from 6mo to 80 years old, and it was just fun for everyone.

We would recommend the Fiji Resort #2 to anyone, but with the understanding that they are still working on some details. 

We are pleased to recommend Mike Brown and your agency to our friends.  We hope to use you in the future.  Yes, the snorkeling is great in Fiji!

Thanks again

I don’t often times write client testimonial letters, but this trip certainly calls for one!  I must admit, I am an Internet shopper and used to feel that my own “homework” would yield the best vacation results.  I can now say that is no longer the case.  Mike Brown is so patient and incredibly knowledgable, that I am hooked on him and McCoy Travel.  In talking with the other guests at Namale, I easily identified that I had the best package and the best customer service.  We shared with Mike some personal preferences with specific beverage labels, cocktail mixers and even the desire for a small tour of the property, as many changes had occurred since our last visit to Namale.  Not only did the staff spend hours sharing with us the improvements of Namale, but when we arrived at our bure – present was everything we had requested (down to the six extra pillows!).  Incredibly, Ocean Spray Cranberry juice was stocked in our bure (per our preferences) which could not be found anywhere else on the resort, or in town!  Mike answered all of my concerns before our travels with care and concern.  While at Namale, we realized an error in our seat assignments for our return flight back to the States.  I sent an email and when we checked into the airline on our departure – bingo!  Our seat assignments were back in line.  A huge thank you to Mike Brown!  Vacations are a sacred time and often times costly – Mike assured that every detail was taken care of and our vacation was incredible.  I would expand on the experiences at Namale, but the staff and the resort are so magical, it doesn’t seem fair to try and convey the trip with words.  Magical – everyone should experience it.  We will be returning to Namale for a third time in 2008 and you can bet we’ll use Mike Brown.  Our sincerest appreciation for all that you did for us!

Bula Bula Mike,

Even though it’s been a month since our wonderful trip to Vomo Island Resort, it’s still the topic of conversation. Thank you for recommending Vomo Island. My wife and I really bonded with the locals. We became part of the family drinking Kava up in the staff quarters a couple times. We had a great trip! ….no schedules, no TV, no phones…..just what we needed.

The only thing I’d like to set up if we make a return trip is to spend the last day on the island versus going to Nadi Airport and having the room in the hotel. We didn’t care much for the hotel and would have much rather spent more time at the resort, then flown to Nadi Airport and stayed there until our flight home.

Thanks again for the suggestions and making the arrangements. We especially appreciated having a beach-front villa by itself without another one attached to it.

Melissa,

Thanks for the reminder to rave about our honeymoon to Fiji!

Mike set everything up perfectly – flights were fine (the LAX-Fiji flight was half empty, so there was plenty of room to spread out); connections and transfers were seamless; and we were very pleased with Crusoe’s Retreat and Matamanoa, and the diving at each.  Our accommodations at each place were great (although we weren’t in one, the newly renovated bures at Matamanoa are gorgeous.)  Maggie, the GM at Crusoe’s, passes along her fond hello’s to him. Oh, and it was a minor thing, but we loved having access to the Captain’s Lounge on the cruise to/from Matamanoa. 

As for diving, the new dive masters/instructors – Vili and Debbie -- at Matamanoa were really great; personable, knowledgeable, and their operation seemed well run.  Don @ Crusoe’s was nice too, but we had a couple dives that led us to question his safety judgment.  On our second dive there, both of us ran out of air on a deep dive in part thanks to an unexpected (not in the briefing) swim against current – I got down to only 10 bar before I was buddied up with another diver, who luckily had enough air left to share that we could get through our safety stop.  However, we dove a couple times with Don’s assistant, Seta, and those were our favorites of the trip, so overall, it was kind of a mixed bag. 

Anyways, we appreciated Mike’s great itinerary that met our budget, and accommodations and sights that exceeded our expectations.  Although Fiji probably isn’t in our travel plans for quite awhile again, we’ll definitely keep McCoy Travel in mind for future trips (I’ve always wanted to go to Belize!) 

Thanks very much,

If you had a hand in this, we can't thank you enough. We can walk down a few steps and touch the sand, and we can see the ocean from our shower! Thank you so much for all you have done for us... we are just stunned and soooooo happy.
Have a wonderful and safe trip to fiji yourself, and know we wish you well.

Exotic Fiji Honeymoon

Bula Mike,
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, but things have been quite hectic since my return from Fiji...
Anyway, to sum it up, Matana/Dive Kadavu was FANTASTIC!!!! This trip was second only to my first trip to Fiji, which was extra special for the mere fact that it was the first Please do keep in mind that this is a comparison to Tokoriki, a much costlier resort, so the praises I make regarding Matana/Dive Kadavu should be viewed as exceptional....

As for the accommodations... Hard to believe, and I was truly shocked (and pleased), but I had the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on while on vacation. Simple thing, but greatly appreciated. We like the simplicity of the bures and the spacing of the bures, which not only provides privacy, but a sense of not being at a resort. I must say, the other guests, a maximum of 4 at any time, were a treasure as well. All were friendly and outgoing, which made for great conversation and lots of bantering. We really enjoyed the "family style" dining. Dion is not a mere cook, but a creator of delights.

I have likely gone on much more than you were expecting, but I cannot say enough or aptly express how truly wonderful it was. To highlight: Snorkeling-Phenomenal, Dining-Exceptional, Staff-The Best, Location-No Better. LOVE IT!!! What would I change?? One bure with twin beds, so that we can return that much sooner and more often!!! Seriously, Matana is, in my experience of Fijian resorts, a "startling find". At this time, I am envisioning my return and expect to do so within a year as there is lots more to explore and do there.

So, Mike, you totally aced it this time and for that I say, Vinaka Vaca Levu!!!
Most gratefully,
R. Graham

Dear Mike,
I just wanted to let you know that the arrangements you made for us to Fiji in December were excellent! Not only the personalized service you gave, but each and every concern I voiced you gave me top notch solutions and care. From the minute we stepped off the plane in Fiji to the Mercedes waiting to take us to the Warwick Resort. The Resort and the staff were 4 stars!

The follow-up call on our return to ask us our experience gave me a new belief in great service. I have used the same local Travel Agent for years without the level of service you offered long distances! Mike, you and McCoy Travel will be my new agency.

Thanks again for an excellent experience and I will be contacting you soon for our travel arrangements to Australia and again to Fiji later this year.
Sincerely,

Hello Mike,
Sorry I did not get back to you sooner, but bottom line: You did it again!! My father in-law and his friend had a wonderful time! They said everything went very smoothly, from the flight to the tranfer to the ship to the cruise itself. They relaxed, had fun and enjoyed the food. They took advantage of the island excursions, took a helicopter ride over the big island and really enjoyed watching the lava flow into the ocean. Overall it was a big sucess! They were very impressesd with the ship itself, the service and the food! I had told then to get the patch against sea sickness (the one you put behind your ear) so they did not get sick once. He called us twice from the ship to tell us what a wonderful time they were having and he is 85 years old!
Mike, thanks a million! As usual you came through for us.
We' ll let you know when we are looking at our next trip. We can' t wait to go back to Fiji....

Mike,
The vacation was everyting we were looking for and far beyound what we expected.
Musket Cove was great. The villa and pool on the island gave us plenty of privacy. Latter in the week we found that we would probably spend more time BBQ by the pool then we had. food and service was great. Most of the boats were not opperating. I'm sure due to being the slow part of the season. Next time would probably like to plan a 3 day trip on one of the sail boats available out of musket.
Vomo. Incredable food and unmatchable service. People were increadable.
Recreation center needs some work. One Hobbie was completely unusable and the other was close to it. The first day I toke it out the tiller brook. I did a quick repair with the main line to hold it togeather and continued sailing. It never was fixed while we were there. I talked with the recreation bure guys a couple of times about getting a bolt (which was all that was needed) to repair it. Also the recreation bure closed at 5pm. That really limited the use wiht working around the tides. Great trip and looking forward to another.
I had a guy stop me in LA because I was wearing a BULA shirt. Gave him your card. Feel free to send me more as I have had a lot of people asking us about the trip.
Thank for your efforts.

Thanks Brenda and Mike,
We returned last evening after a truly enjoyable and hassle-free trip to Australia. The arrangements you made were excellent. Ground transportation--excellent. Punctual, courteous drivers. I can't remember the name of the kind woman who met us at Auckland Airport (?Diane), but she was especially gracious. The Hilton Auckland is Excellent, and breakfast buffet is first rate. The Sofitel Queensland is also Excellent. Hamurana Country Estates, Rotorua. Excellent. Bucolic setting. Gracious, generous hosts, who put on an exceptional New Years Eve dinner. Highly recommend. Transportation. All excellent.
Have a Great New Year,

Hey Mike,
Sorry we missed your call the other day. Our trip to Aussie was amazing - we almost extended while we were there, but then recalled that we have to work for a living. Thanks for all of your help!

Mike,
I want to make sure and let you know what a great job you did handling our family vacation to Fiji. We were especially grateful for having you when we went to check in for our flight home and our seats had been pre assigned in a great spot toward the front of the plane where we could utilize the bassinet for Leo. You were not exaggerating when you said the people of Fiji were nice, they are wonderful. The Resort was wonderful and lovely, we truly did relax and enjoy our family.
Again, thank you so much and I look forward to booking our next holiday with you. I'm thinking Hawaii!
Have a wonderful Christmas and God Bless you and your family!

Fijian Family Getaway

Mike,
Thank you so much for coordinating our Honeymoon. The first 3 days in Hana were just what the Dr. ordered. Very laid back and so relaxing. We were amazed how serene and quiet the resort was, we also loved the fact that we didn't have to fight a large crowded resort our first few days while we unwound from the months of wedding planning and festivities.
The Spa was wonderful, the people at the resort were so very friendly and just full of the history of Hana and Hawaii in general. You were right, the beds were so comfortable and the accommodations were just perfect. We loved that we had such a spacious little bungalow and the soaking tub was a favorite of mine.
The Hyatt in Kaanapali was awesome. Gabe much preferred this type of resort to the quiet, isolation of Hana but Hana was a perfect way to start the vacation. We met some wonderful people, had some amazing food and all in all can't wait to sell off our current properties and move to Maui! Thanks again for being so flexible with u
