The Westin Fiji Golf Resort & Spa

WhIle staying at the Waitui Beach Club my husband and I decided to do something different and exciting! We went paralflying! We are both retirees, so not spring chickens, nonetheless we like to have fun and try new things. Well let me tell you it was the most exciting thing we hd done in a very long time! The two guys who were in charge, Steven and Manasa were the most professional, safety oriented people we have experienced. They were also very friendly and made sure that every moment of our experience was perfect. Our safety and enjoyment were paramount for them. They are experts in this field , we just had to sit on the boat get strapped in and slowly were lifted up into the heavens. Meanwhile one guy was watching us from the boat and taking continuous photos and even videos, whilst the other one was on a ski jet following ensuring all went well. Landing was also seamless, we just landed back on the boat without an issues, ! Their expertise was amazing! I strongly recommend the paraflying experience to all, it is perfectly safe and nothing beats being up with the birds looking down at the islands and the changing colours of the sea. We even saw a baby shark and a huge turtle whilst gently floating high up in the sky. Truly a wonderful experience! We also hired the hobycat several times and sailed around the bay. This too was a great experience, the life jackets were in excellent condition, so was the little cat. In fact all equipment at Deanarau Surf Dive & Ski is meticulously maintained in top condition. All in all a pleasure dealing with such a friendly and professional group.

I'm wondering what's happening with the Westin Fiji in Denarau? My husband and I had a booking there for our honeymoon back in 2020, but the resort closed due to covid and then renovations... and still hasn't reopened. We were told that our booking would be on hold until they reopened (which kept getting pushed back). At first they were good about keeping us updated, but it's been years now and they are still closed. We haven't had any updates for quite some time. I've tried emailing, and phoning but no one ever responds. The website is now no longer saying when the resort will reopen. We had already paid, so have we lost our money??!!
