To Whom It May Concern:

We have had the pleasure of working with Melissa McCoy and her company Fiji Escapes Travel for the four years that we have owned Qamea Resort & Spa. Throughout this time, Fiji Escapes Travel has provided nothing short of excellent service to the clients they send to Qamea Resort & Spa, all of whom become happy guests on our resort. It is for this reason that Fiji Escapes Travel has become one of the leading booking agents in Fiji, including Qamea Resort & Spa.

Fiji is truly a unique market as it is for the most part a collection of boutique hotels and resorts, each with their own distinctive personality. For those people considering Fiji as a holiday destination, it can at times be quite a challenge to identify the perfect resort without the guidance of a skilled and knowledgeable travel professional. Without exception, all of the staff at Fiji Escapes Travel visit Qamea Resort & Spa regularly – at least once a year – and have a solid and very personal understanding and appreciation of all resorts in Fiji. From our perspective, we know that when we receive guests from Fiji Escapes Travel, the guests will be an excellent fit and be happy with our resort and amenities. Moreover, Melissa McCoy also visits our resort at least once a year, and given her extensive knowledge of the industry, has been instrumental in providing us with numerous valuable suggestions and ideas as we upgraded and renovated the resort. In 2004 Qamea Resort & Spa was awarded the distinction of being one of the Top Ten Luxury Hideaway Resorts in the World by the prestigious Robb Report, and I cannot believe this would have happened without Melissa McCoy’s input and advise.

We continue to be impressed with the high level of service that Fiji Escapes Travel provides to their clients. This begins at the time the booking is made with the resort, and continues through until their clients return home. If a problem does arise, Fiji Escapes Travel is there to resolve the matter quickly and efficiently. It is probably for this reason that many of our guests that book through Fiji Escapes Travel are their repeat clients.

Kind Regards,
