COUPLE: A&A - "Five Stars to PJ!  Bula, Best Honeymoon Imaginable!"  We LOVED Fiji and especially Matamanoa! It was so quiet and relaxing, beautiful, fun, and the people were so nice! Oh and the food was to die for! We did some snorkeling, went island hopping, toured the village, explored Matamanoa, and participated in other free island activities. It was a perfect honeymoon and we can’t thank PJ enough for all she set up for us! She visits the places she suggested for us to travel so she ​really knows what she is talking about.  She requested the sunset side​ bures for  

us and they were ​by far the best rooms there. She also booked our airfare and transfers and both were very smooth and great experiences. She was easy to work with and was always available to answer our calls, emails, and even met with us once. When we weren’t sure if we were going to be able to go to Fiji she worked with us in finding other options, but in the end she convinced us Fiji was a great choice and she was right! If we ever need another vacation we will definitely contact PJ!  A&A
