Blue Lagoon Beach Resort Reviews

I was debating between a couple of resorts in the Yasawa's, given Blue Lagoon is a long way "up", but definitely didnt refret this choice and was totally worth the communte/trip out there (approx 4.5hrs) and would definitely recommend! I stayed 4 nights mid-November and had perfect weather and a lovely relaxing time. I stayed in a garden bure and it was worth the extra cost to have the comfort of air-con, a fridge, tea/coffee facilities and a stunning outdoor shower/bathroom. Given the remoteness of the Yasawa's, some resorts struggle with water, and some don't have warm/hot showers - but no issue at Blue Lagoon!! The beautiful shower was a highlight! I satyed 1 night in Nadi and then was picked up from my resort to take the resort boat from Vuda Marina instead of the Yasawa Flyer, which was great! I'm used to boats and loved the experience, although for non-ocean goers or travelling with small children, it might be worth going via the flyer. The conditions on the way over were great, but conditions were rougher once out in the Yasawa area, but still I loved the personalised trip out! I was the only one onboard for much of the trip! The resort speed boat transfers guests between the sister resorts too, ie Paradise Cove and Octopus. I took the Yasawa Flyer on my way back as I transferred to another resort afterwards. While at Blue Lagoon, I snorkelled every day right out in front - loved it! Saw a turtle, stingray, puffer fish etc etc, as well as loads of fish and beautiful healthy coral. I preferred low tide snorkleing when it's shallower and less boat activity, plus even better for underwater photography. Some of the best snorkelling from shore I've ever done though, so I'm now sold to return to Fiji, for this pleasure alone! I've scuba dived loads of places but always prefer shallow, colourful areas full of sealife, and this was possible just via snorkelling, free off the beach! I took my own snorkel and mask, although I think these are provided free of charge to guests during your stay. I did the trip to Sawa-I-Lau caves (running on alternate days) which was a must-do while visiting, although it was very busy with many resorts visiting at the same time. I also did a guided snorkel trip (by boat so extra $$) for a change of scenery, although the resort reef was incredible, so a trip wasn't really needed! Was still an enjoayble trip, though! The beach was lovely to lounge on, (plenty of day beds/longers) and dip in the sea beautiful all day, which made for a lovely spot to chill and swim/snorkel/relax. Just perfect. Food was the standard 3 meal compulsory package - which was fine, although I mostly didn't have breakfast - only coffee - which was at least a bonus given I skip food at breakfast - and was freshly made from a cafe style espresso machine which was great and welcome! Lunches were al la carte with a good selection for most - but still a challenge for me as stripping back dishes to just what I eat wasn't always easy, or perhaps
