The Nikoi Island staff were waiting for our boat on the jetty to welcome us by name. They led us along sand paths past thatched huts to the bar to check in. The family allowed a minute or two for Judy to settle in with a cool drink. The 3 children then pounced out from behind the bar, the grandkids rushed in and the staff started singing and playing the guitar. There were champagne bottles popping and lots of tears from Mum coupled with laughter from the rest of us knowing we had succeeded in pulling off the surprise of the century!
This place is truly special. The beer and cocktails are flowing, the kids are entertained, the staff are incredible, the facilities and food first class and the weather divine. We are all in heaven and are pinching ourselves in disbelief. There are 87 staff and 32 guests of which we constitute half.
More later, too busy at the bar now and lunch awaits in the open air sand floored dining room.
Little to say - this was amazing and very memorable for all
