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.

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,
P. Korber

Dear McCoy Travel/Mike,

We had a wonderful time in Fiji and the Fiji Resort. The people were very friendly and the service was exceptional. When they said "Welcome Home" when we arrived, we really felt welcome! The resort was clean, friendly and the food was great! We can not say enough about the trip as it is now our number one spot to visit! Our hope is that when the grandbabies get a little bigger, the whole family can  go and experience the islands.  The activities were well organized by Pete and the snorkeling was "out of this world"!! We even caught a 40 pound Wahoo with the help of "Bait" in the fishing adventure group right at the resort! My husband even had guitar lessons from the "Bula Boys" band and Jimmy in the afternoons while I had the finest massages ever with the soft hands of the Fijian women! This is a big world to see but we will return to Fiji!

Melissa,

Mike B. "took care of business" for us.  We were initially working with Travel Team out of Seattle and we were supposed to have a reservation at Vatulele on a Friday.  Come Monday, they were all booked up. Needless to say, we were disappointed.  My wife called Mike (I think she found you guys on the internet) and he quickly got back to us with several options.  We ended up at the Fiji Resort, which we loved.  The people were very friendly and very appreciative that we would travel with the coup and all. 

The food was much better than expected, near gourmet.  The wife and I are definitively foodies and were blown away by the dishes.  We also enjoyed being the only Americans there.  Apparently because Vomo is Kiwi owned, it is a preferred destination for Aussies and Kiwis, but we really enjoyed sharing and learning about their lives, as well as the Fijians. 

Now some of the good things:

1. I developed pinkeye, which I self diagnosed one morning. I went right to the office at 8am and they had medicine on the 9am boat that day.  I really felt comfortable that they could handle things even though we were essentially stranded on this island.

2. The daily laundry service is killer.  We continued on from Fiji to Australia for 7 nights and to have the laundry done, rather than pack for 2 weeks worth of clothes, was key.

3. The bures were clean and stylish.

We will definitely book our next trip through you guys!

Thanks again,

Jim R.

Melissa--we had a great trip to Vanuatu.  Mike, as he did for us on our trip to Fiji, had everything well coordinated and the accommodations worked very well.  Your host in Port Vila was very helpful.
 
The trip was very different and we would highly recommend it for those seeking a very unique trip.  Tanna was like stepping back in time 100 years.
 
We had some great tours and would be glad to talk to anyone thinking about going.
 
The eight of us will continue to recommend McCoy Travel and Mike.

Bula, Mike,

We've been wanting to send you a note about our trip to Taveuni, Fiji. We had a wonderful time, and enjoyed the beautiful scenery, warmth and kindness of the Taveuni Island Resort Staff, delicious food, and the resort activities. It was exactly what we needed. It was also very nice having the day room in Nadi to take a shower and get ready for our long flight back home. Vinaka!

The flight between Nadi and Taveuni was an adventure, especially each landing. We're a little nervous and fortunately Malu didn't have any problems. We did talk with the pilot about Malu's situation. The plane views were gorgeous.

We appreciate all your suggestions and help. Vinaka!

We are in Rosie's lounge on the way home and I couldn't stop myself from checking email--I guess that is part of decompressing on the way home.  I will call you and talk about the trip, but just thought I would drop a quick
note.

I am so glad Dive Kadavu was full.  I can't imagine a better place than Papageno.  Everyone there was so good to us, so genuinely happy that we were there.  It was like living in a garden--everywhere we walked was on a path among the flowers.

The diving was reported to be spectacular, and the snorkeling was the best with the possible exception of St. Lucia 40 years ago before the coral started dying.

When I get back to Hawaii I will give you a call.

Thanks for a great trip,

Mike,
We wanted to thank you for assisting us on booking our Hawaiian vacation.  It was truly paradise!  We had a wonderful time and we were amazed at how our schedule and connections were perfect.  You did a great job.  We feel we saw as much as possible in the 10 days we were traveling...530 pictures later and lots of video.  I can recommend a pre-cruise as you suggested.  We liked getting acquainted with the time change, climate, culture and atmosphere before we cruised.  I feel this made us more prepared for the islands.  Polynesian Tours worked like clockwork but still gave us flexibility to be on our own some.  The tour guides were so very friendly and knowledgable.  We learned so many interesting stories of the area and language.  Truly beautiful!  Thank you for making our dream vacation just right!  We will highly recommend your services to any of our friends who may want to venture to the Hawaiian Islands!

Aloha,

We've been here only since this morning, and already we're in paradise! Oh my goodness, this place is beyond even our wildest imagination and expectations! Namale is pure bliss! ....and, we have to ask, how in the world did we end up in an OCEAN VIEW room???? We distinctly remember paying for tropical, so someone worked some pretty delicious magic!!!!! 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.

Thank you so much for your excellent suggestions and everything you did to make it such a wonderful vacation. We can't imagine a better itinerary or a smoother trip through what was a very unfamiliar locale. I hope we can work with you again to plan another great trip.

By the way, our Rosie driver - Panto - asked me to give you his regards.

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.

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.

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.

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
