We actually only stayed 3 nights. It was a side trip on our way to Australia and New Zealand. It was absolutely beautiful. The water was gorgeous. For my comfort, it was a little too remote. This particular island was run by a chief. All the other people from his village lived on the opposite side of the island without electricity or other modern conveniences. I did not feel completely safe. One night we had someone shinning a flashlight into our hut, and one evening I watched one of the village teenagers hiding behind a tree watching another visitor undress. It was a bit un-nerving knowing we had absolutely no way to communicate with anyone. It was off of Fiji in the section known as the Yasawa Islands. We stayed at Oarsman's Bay.
The food was not so good. Apparently the chicken that was sitting on the dock when we arrived was loaded up with us on the plane and then transported in the little boat with us to the island. Did I mention that it was not in any type of cooler to keep cold?
It was a once in a life time experience and although I was out of my comfort zone, we did enjoy it!!
