Tokoriki Island Resort

Tokoriki Island Resort

This is an amazing resort.  There are only 34 Bures (individual bungalows), so with 2 to a room the maximum number of guests would be 64.  This is the off season so they are not at capacity. It surprised us that this is the off season but their primary clientele is Aussie’s and New Zealander’s.  So it is the off season the way the Caribbean would have an off season during our summer.

The resort is privately owned by an Australian family and is extremely well maintained – no detail is overlooked.  The food is outstanding and they must have a very good chef for such a small resort. Oh yes, the coffee is very good in spite of the many warnings I had to the contrary.

We enjoyed a private beach picnic one day.  We were taken to a small island near here (next to the one where Tom Hanks filmed The Castaways) and left for 4 hours to enjoy our picnic, snorkel and walk the beach.  It was very romantic!

Yesterday I went on snorkeling trip around the island with 3 snorkeling stops which was fun, although my back is a little sunburned. 

Last night I participated in a Kava ceremony with about 20 other people.  It’s a very mild narcotic so Lois declined.

Lois is almost finished her 6^th book.  I am 40% of the way through my first!!
