Good Points
Fihalhohi Island is truly a heavenly sight. On arrival, after a night of no sleep, the beauty of the island seemed to banish any jet lag we had. We were greeted by the locals with coconut drinks, a really nice touch.

The beach is outstanding. The sand, pure white. The sea, crystal clear. I cannot fault it. Almost everyday we saw baby sharks swimming in the shallows. The abundance of wildlife is what struck me the most. Not just in the water where we saw sharks, moray eels, sting rays, clown fish, parrot fish, angel fish, barracuda and thousands of other species that I simply cannot name, but also on land, we saw huge bats, herons, beautiful birds, crabs, lizards etc.

The drinks are reasonably priced relatively, considering the fact that you have to buy drinks from the hotel. I could imagine other places charging obscene amounts to take advantage.

We were in the comfort rooms. They are massive and were cleaned twice a day. The shower was powerful and there was always hot water.

I had previously read many reviews on the food and therefore I had my reservations upon arriving. The food, particularly at night, was excellent. Both myself and my brother are very fussy eaters and both ate very well. In fact, my brother's diet seemed to flourish. The themed nights, I thought, were surprisingly well done. Lunch was still good, although not up to the standard of evening meals. You could always eat in the surf cafe a couple times for burgers, pizza etc.

Travelling in the peak of monsoon season worried me more than I can say. Out of fourteen days spent on the island, we had twelve and a half of beautiful weather. During the other one and a half days there were tropical storms, which I have to admit were a little scary, due to falling coconuts/palm branches. Other than this, the weather was perfect; hot and sunny, with a cloud here and there to cool you.

The service in the bars/restaurant was excellent. Every waiter would always smile and seem genuinely happy to serve you.

Bad Points
None at all.

General Comments
I definitely recommend this place to anyone. If you want a true paradise for a reasonable price, take advantage and book up. You won't regret it
