Well, given the great looking pictures and the raving reviews, we decided to take a leap of faith and book a milestone vacation at Paradise Cove.
There wasn't much else available in the South Pacific at the time, so it seemed a little too easy for comfort.
So, a few months later we embarked on our 'trip of a lifetime' hoping for the best.
We arranged our own transfer with Pacific Island Air.
Once we swooshed to a landing near Paradise Cove, two men in a motorboat arrived.
We motored about 3 minutes and arrived at Paradise Cove met by the resort workers strumming guitars and singing their Song of Welcome, given a delicious fruit juice beverage and mint-infused cool towel.
Our Beachfront Villa was clean and beautiful. 50 yards to the water (less at high tide).
We had 2 BRs for us and 2 teens. Space was great.
Beds were comfy. AC worked well. Outdoor master bath was very nice.
Stocked mini fridge (prepaid so enjoy).
Cleaning service was excellent.
WiFi was s l o w as expected.
Beach was great. Calm waters with nice sandy areas for swimming and nice coral structures for snorkeling right there.
Each day had a schedule of activities. Daily boat snorkels were great. PADI dive certification process (bring doctor note if you have ANY health issues).
Meals were top notch. We're foodies and were impressed with the preparation, presentation, and flavors (easily worth the $100 pp. drinks are extra, FYI)
Staff EXTRAORDINARY.
It was a stunningly great trip! Go if you can.
