Dave and I visted Turtle Island on October 2007 in celebration of our 15th Anniversary.  It was our first visit to the island - my fifth year with the company.  Dave and I both felt that our trip was like a 2nd Honeymoon.  We loved the wonderful days spent on private beaches or out snorkeling at some of the most beautiful reefs - courtesy of Arther.  We also loved the evening conversation around the dinner table - so much fun meeting other couples from around the world. 

I think one of the highlights was our private dine-out on the floating dock.  Looking back at the island sparkling at night was/is a sight to behold.  Though we missed the company of the others we did return for after dinner drinks! 

Our crab won the crab race which was a surprise - after he started out moving backward!

The Grand Bures are absolutely incredible - so large and spacious.  We really enjoyed having a real Jacuzzi - so many resorts offer Jacuzzi only to find that it is a large jetted bathtub. 

We felt that the staff interaction was the most important aspect of being on Turtle Island.  No where else can you attend a Kava Party at night and enjoy with the staff like you can on Turtle Island.  No where else can you be treated to whatever you like, whenever you like by your Bure Mama - which I call a casual butler.  She is only there to take care of you during your stay - no one else.  She is always available by radio and works on a scrapbook of your trip from the moment you arrive -so that you have this wonderful memory book to take home with you.

It was a wonderful experience - one which I hope that we can repeat in the near future!

Vinaka to the wonderful staff on Turtle Island!
