Exotic Escapes Testimonials
Chris,
I just wanted to thank you for arranging my trip. The entire adventure was flawless from the time we arrived. Tour Managers are great people. We told them we would have a few hours after we returned to Nadi and they made special arrangements for us to visit a village and took us to an excellent restaurant before our departure. All the flights and transfers you arranged went smoothly. I just can't thank you enough for all your recommendations and suggestions. I definitely will be going back to Fiji. I'm calling my agent now to tell her to make sure everyone in their office books through you.
Matthew H.
Bula!
Our Fiji experience will always be very close to our hearts. The Fijian people are definitely one of the most beautiful and kindest people we have encountered. We are so blessed to have experienced them and their culture. Your knowledge and service provided was excelent. Exotic Escapes will be utilized as the avenue in our future plans on visiting the Fiji Islands or any other Pacific Country.
Vinaka Vaka Levu,

Chris,
Thanks a million for making me look like I knew what I was doing!! You're the real star!!
Lou Chris,
Vatulele was absolutely wonderful! My wife and I had a once in a lifetime honeymoon, and I can’t thank you enough for the recommendation! Jeff Debbie,
Words cannot describe the incredible time we had this past two weeks at Qamea, the people were lovely, the food was fabulous, the spa treatments were great, I highly recommend the Island Escape for two. The accomodations were more than expected, the bures so spacious & romantic.
Fiji, especially this resort is truly one of the most beautiful places on earth. Thank you so much for all of your help & the excellent job in the whole coordination of this very special vacation. It was truly the very best time we ever had on a vacation.
Bula Chris, Yes we are back, safe and sound. Everything was more than perfect!!! We really appreciate everything you have done for us. All the flights and transfers were smooth and flawless, our room was absolutely awesome!!!! The resort was beyond top notch and oh yeah our wedding was bulariffic!!!!!!!! the staff was great and the locals were so nice. Elena and I also met another couple who got married at Namale that we seemed to have developed a life long friendship with. Words can hardly describe the whole experience. Thank you again for making everything happen.
Hi Chris, The entire honeymoon was great. Now the little island hopper was not the best but hey... Namale was incredible as my wife says... She was over the moon by the whole environment and resort. We met Tony Robbins and Donna Karin... The staff was great in Namale... First Landing was nice but Namale was definitely the place to be.... We are seeing about going back in the next few years... Rhonda just fell in love with the place... Thanks... We are recommending everyone that wants to respark their relationship or kick it off.. Namale is it... The flight was nice even though we slept through most of it.. The next time we will probably go to NZ, first or Australia and then go over to Fiji.. just to add to the trip... We will keep you up on the plans...Many places I've traveled have mostly been disappointing in that all the hype written and expressed about them... But Namale was, to me, understated. From beginning to end, the resort staff does everything to be personable and accommodating so you don't have a want for anything. We were able to concentrate on just being there and with each other. The people there make you want to know them better by being so inviting. The people and their attitudes are a whole other experience. Very genuine, fun and happy... it was not their jobs but their lifestyle. Namale is for some a lifetime experience, but we hope to make it a traditional vacation spot. Thanks Chris.
Hi Chris, We had a lovely time all & all. We loved how exotic it felt there...we both always have fun in Hawaii, but it was neat to be away from most American things for a while. On the Blue Lagoon Cruise, we found the ship to be very comfortable. We really enjoyed the village visit - the kava ceremony was very interesting and we love their singing. We went snorkeling at each opportunity and tried the kayaks. Our journey to Qamea went smooth. The people were so friendly as we drove through Taveuni...everyone waving, etc... Qamea seemed like fantasy island when we first arrived...so lush & gorgeous. We got to stay in a Premium Villa for the first two nights - that was truly amazing. We enjoyed the Lavena Nature Walk...got some good exercise with that one! Swimming out to the waterfall was exhilarating. All & all, we really did enjoy ourselves. It was very relaxing. Thanks for helping us decide where to go and arranging everything!
Tami, I have to say I am very impressed with your service and care in getting back to me and doing everything you can to find out the information I need. That doesn’t happen much anymore. Seems like business is done with leave a message on my voice mail and I will get back to you if I feel like it. Thanks for the service!!!!!
Our driver came right on time and we enjoyed the ride to Latouka wharf and the Blue Lagoon headquarters. We had fun watching the other people in the lounge, talking and drinking their first taste of FIJI Bitter beer, wondering who would be on our ship. We would recommend this cruise to anyone with a spirit of adventure. There were many people from New Zealand, Australia, a couple from Holland, a family from Russia, some Scots and Irish and 3 people from the USA besides us. Even some famous people and a lovely lady celebrating her 90th birthday. Five children met and became great pals. Ages 8 -14. A joy to watch. The visit to the village was unforgettable. We loved the singing and dancing and learning that this was not a planned performance like Hawaiian hotel luaus, it's the real thing and each village only has visitors twice a month. Fiji people are some of the most charming, genuine people in the world. Again, Tour Managers met us at the dock and took us to First Landing. We loved staying there. Two or three nights is just right. We could sit on our patio and watch sunset. We tried-out the spa and the secret window and it was fun. The dinners on the sand with torches and candles were unforgettable. So romantic and the food was to die for. We toured the villa that Prince Charles stayed in a few weeks ago. We had a great time. Thank you again for your help in planning such an excellent vacation.
"Oh yes, we know we want to return. We enjoyed our stay so much more than when in Hawaii so we know we want to come back. "At Rumours of Romance we were able to relax totally--the water features and the views to the ocean are just indescribable! You have a marvelous selection of movies and CDs and we really just escaped from the world--exactly what we both needed" We had a WONDERFUL holiday and the villa (and you guys) were the main reasons!!! "I cannot say enough about the villa... it was so wonderful. We arrived home last night and haven't stopped talking about the wonderful hospitality. "Thank you again and best wishes." - Laura & Ken "I heard back from a client who just returned from Taveuni, Fiji. My client has traveled quite extensively to Africa, Egypt, Greece... and he has never experience anything like the Fijian people and the extraordinary village visit. It was a live altering experience. My client was very open to the Fijians and sincerely interested in them which made for a winning combination and an amazing experience. "In 5 days they got in 6 dives, had Lani the bird guide take him to his home, were astounded at the personalized service from the dive company as well as the resort staff, had wonderful food and fell in love with the Fijian people. "They were delighted with their accommodations and really loved the food. They were so looking forward to their last meal on their last night when later they were invited to visit the village and have dinner. Even though they would miss their last meal at the resort they knew this was an opportunity not to be missed. It did not disappoint. "What becomes almost 'standard' to us was intoxicating to them. Taking in the village, meeting the chief, partaking in a kava ceremony, a traditional dinner and of course the moving farewell... you know the part where we cry. "I wanted to pass this along. "So thank you – another job well done." - Jeanne "I would just like to thank Melanie at Exotic Escapes for planning this amazing honeymoon. She held my hand the entire way, and allowed me to hound her endlessly with questions right down to the day before we left. She was very knowledgeable and everything she planned went great, and I would not hesitate to work with her again." - Anthony and Christina "My sincerest thanks go to Tami and Exotic Escapes for making our trip possible. We had inflexible budget parameters, and we really asked her to do what all our research said was impossible. Not only did Exotic Escapes make this possible, but it was the best vacation that my fiance and I have ever had. They couldn’t have done this for us if they didn’t really know the resorts from first hand experience. "I've done a lot of traveling, and I’ve been fortunate enough to stay in a handful of four or five star resorts. The resort that Exotic Escapes recommended to us surpassed every guest experience that I have ever had, without question. It wasn’t a crushingly opulent resort, either. There weren't any displays of consumer vanity affirmation -- gold leaf on the deserts, obscenely sized portions, etc. Every detail of our stay was characterized by an obvious desire on the part of the staff to ensure that we had a fantastic time. It was top notch without being ostentatious, and absolutely gorgeous. We had a blast!" - Carl & Carla "Everything went great. The check in and greeting at Maravu was very pleasant. Everyone at the resort made our stay wonderful. Everyone knew us by name, they were always smiling, and they were far beyond friendly. The golfing was awesome. I'm actually running out of words to describe how great everything was. The scenery surrounding the golf course was amazing. The course left a lot to be desired, but I'm used to playing on well kept courses in the states. But just getting to play golf with such beautiful surrounding was very cool. Checking out of Maravu was hard, we wanted to stay, but we knew we were headed to another great resort. "Matangi was just as good, and better in some ways than Maravu. The tree house bure was great. We were away from most of the people, so we could leave the curtains open all of the time. It did rain for a couple of days, but we took the time to just relax and hang out with each other. We did so many activities at Maravu that it was nice to just chill. We met a couple of other couples and hung out with them in the evenings. We hiked the entire island one day, with another couple, and the views were amazing. We also got to go into one of the villages on another island. That was great. It was raining that day, but the kids still gave us a performance. "I want to say thank you very much for helping me plan the best trip that we could have. Amy kept repeating that to me over and over. This is the best trip ever, this is the best trip ever!!! So I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping us to get there, and plan everything out." - Jason and Amy "It was a very memorable trip. Rick is still trying to figure out how he could run his business from Fiji!!" - Anne "Phil and I are back from Royal Davui, Fiji....It was absolutely AMAZING. We cannot thank you enough, our trip was perfect from the flights, to the day room, helicopter, all of our transfers and our room at Royal Davui. This is by far the BEST vacation we have ever been on. We will be contacting you again to help us plan future trips!!!" - Phil and Joann "My experience with the staff at Exotic Escapes has been excellent. No other South Pacific wholesaler has the knowledge and expertise that they do. I simply call them and tell them what my clients are looking for and they give me several choices based on my clients interests. Exotic Escapes provides the tools and knowledge I need to sell the South Pacific." - Anna Baldwin Ni sa bula Heather, Chris and the entire staff of Exotic Escapes! Having worked for many years with Chris – no one was more delighted than I when the most knowledgeable, service orientated agents in the industry gathered together under one banner! For those of us that see Fiji as more than just a destination, it is wonderful to have wholesalers such as Exotic Escapes to share that love with. I can always count on Exotic Escapes – whether to complete a quote for me (always in a timely, professional manner), to keep me up to date on the latest specials being presented by the many resorts, to have first hand, detailed knowledge of all the resorts and destinations that they sell and finally in the presentation of their itineraries & documentation. As a Matai agent and owner I am proud to present my clients with itineraries and documents from Exotic Escapes. In the small community that is the South Pacific market, Exotic Escapes stands out as an exceptional organization. Vinaka vaka levu for all you do, - Joni Stone, DS, Owner Exotic Escapes was a wonderful experience for me as a travel agent, providing me the great service for my clients going to Fiji!! I can not say enough. Chris was great getting back to me with my quotes very quick, and e-mailing the itinerary that made me look good to my Client. I highly recommend Exotic Escapes and for me as an agent. I intend to use them exclusively for my Fiji and Cook Island clients. Regards, - Patty Horst As far as your performance - FAB - U - LOUS! I've worked with Tami and Heather before so you ladies were famous with me already. I see no reason to book the South Pacific thru anyone else. - Ellen Clark I am so pleased that when our clients wish to visit Fiji we have the efficient staff at Exotic Escapes with whom to work. We receive our quotations in a very timely manner and the support we need both to close the initial sale and to serve our clients so they enjoy their initial trip and on return they are already thinking of visiting Fiji again. - Diana Schneider, CTC, ACC |
