Wonderful Time
We had a wonderful time staying at the Three Palms Beachfront Villa. One of the things I loved was the location. It’s pretty secluded and definitely not in a touristy, resort area. The 90 minute drive from the Nadi airport gives you a good glimpse of the real Fiji. We saw cows, goats, pigs, and horses on the sides of the road and passed through several small primitive villages with friendly locals waving and yelling “Bula” as we pass by.
When we arrived at the property, we were greeted by Mesa and Shalishni who gave us a tour of the home and grounds. As we were unpacking Mesa gathered each of us a fresh coconut and Salishni made us a lovely breakfast. It was such a warm and friendly way to be greeted! The property is beautiful - clean and well maintained.
The second day, we were treated to a traditional lovo and kava ceremony at the property which was one of the highlights. The food was amazing and plenty! We had leftovers for 2 days – well worth the small fee they charge!! Mesa and Shalishni made the trip really special for us! Mesa took an entire afternoon teaching us how to weave palm leaves into hats, baskets, and fans. Shalishni was so friendly and helpful – she arranged on-site massages for us and had lots of tips to share.
There is a small market (with very limited grocery selections) and a gas station, diner, and café about a 10 min walk away. One thing I highly recommend checking out is the day cruise through Cruisin Fiji out of Port Denareau.
