Sunrise Resort/Koravou Resort

Sunrise resort was nice, but 'rustic' would be the best way to describe it. Meals are served, there is no 'eat when you want' here. If you miss out, you're screwed. The dorms are simply that. A large room full of bunk beds an mosquito nets.
The water here was amazing, really warm and clear, no hard reef on the bottom, only sand. Things are nice and relaxed, and everyone is pretty laid back. Lots of people here from England, Switzerland, and I've even run into a few from Canada. All the Canadians I've met to this point are from Saskatchewan for some reason.
Deciding to leave Sunrise, I got back on the boat and headed down to Koravou, about an hour's ride south.
Koravou is much larger, and caters more to creature comforts, having Internet, some air conditioning, and more space to move around. The water isn't as clear, and the bottom is rough coral, but overall it is much nicer here, and they have more activities to keep you busy and pass the time.
After arriving and again getting settled, they put on some traditional dances and we basically wasted the night away playing cards and sitting around a fire.

Hi Cory, We are finding your blogs interesting and informative. Thought I'd let you know why all the Saskatchewanites are in Fiji... Kerry Joseph has just jumped ship and signed with Toronto....so they've all run away from home. It's either that or the minus 28 with the wind chill! Enjoy the heat you could be here. Glad you arrived there safely. Enjoy. Mom and Dad
