Just back from a marvellous yoga retreat at Daku Resort at Savusavu, Fiji – a funky vintage-style collection of bures and villas owned by a remarkably savvy and entertaining English couple, John (JJ) and Delia Rothnie Jones. They run their waterside garden property like a family compound, supported by an authentic family of Fijian staff led by Keni – plus... More

All praise to manager and staff at Daku Resort - they all went out of their way to make us feel welcomed and comfortable in a beautiful bure surrounded by lovely gardens in this just-out-of-the-town resort. We snorkeled from their boat, we enjoyed their delicious home-style meals or went into the town for a change, we walked in their forested... More

We had a wonderful time during our 7 days - mostly due to the warmth and care of the people working at Daku. Kalo took such great care of us (best massages ever), Pete and Kalo took us on fantastic boat excursions, while Raj, Keni and the rest of the staff treated us like family immediately. And, of course, there... More

Daku was our most memorable stay and I am sure to return, multiple times! Thank you JJ and all at Daku for a wonderful stay! We rocked up after a long flight/drive from Nadi and Labasa airports but a refreshing coconut drink and a smiling staff upon our arrival was most satisfying. The place is lovely with lots of trees...

This resort is a gem - I would return in a heartbeat. Kenny, the manager, his family and staff all make one feel welcome; they are eager to answer questions and share insights into the Fijian life and culture. Sitting on my porch with my early am coffee, looking out over the palm trees to the water beyond, was a... More

I am traveling on my own and I was immediately made to feel at home and relax...it is understated, relaxed and friendly. The setting is right next to the ocean so you pick up the beautiful breeze to help those hot afternoons fly by. The gardens are beautifully kept and the staff are truly Fijian with their hospitality...I am taking... More

I do not write reviews, normally due to my lack of time. But JJ, Delia and all the staff at Daku Resort put a lot of effort into making our stay relaxing and enjoyable. We took our son with special needs on holiday and JJ was able to organize carers for him so that we were all able to have... More

So special to be inducted into the Daku family --afforded each guest during their stay. Ceremonies, flowers strewn in your villa, smiling faces welcoming you everywhere, special Fijean meal preparation. Beautiful coral and stunning fish identified by the best Marine Biologist. a visit to a very special village--all this folds the visitor into the culture and natural surroundings. I'd probably...

We stayed at Daku in June 2011. Got a free upgrade from a basic room to a lovely villa because they were so busy. They had a week long snorkelling course on, with visits from a marine biologist doing talks on an evening. We weren't part of the group, but were welcomed to listen to the talks. The place was...
