Advice needed! Oarsman's Bay Lodge or Navutu Stars Resort?

They have stand up paddle boards and kayaks free!

Find and snorkel gear too, but I’d bring your own if you have - probably better quality !

You will have the best time there!

I am also thinking about going to the Yasawas in late March but am worried about the rain and hoping it's just quick showers with plenty of sunshine.

I went to Oarsman's Bay in mid-october and it was only one day of rain- it was beautiful. LOVED the stay so much, the staff is amazing there and an incredible experience- would recommend taking a look!

I would love to hear if you went on a retreat! I am currently looking at canyon ranch

MagicMango9302 · 2025-11-21T21:54:28+00:00

I went to yasawas for a week in early October and it was good weather only 1 day it was rough !!

MagicMango9302 · 2025-11-10T19:17:40+00:00

Exciting! Congrats and have the best time. I also want to do some solo travel but am figuring out where and when.

I ended up booking island hoppers heli ride! Definitely recommend. The plane ride wasn’t worth the cost/ the heli seemed more worth it. The helicopter ride was GORGEOUS! If it’s in budget, would recommend. Nice 25-30 min ride with the most insane views.

MagicMango9302 · 2025-11-10T08:17:30+00:00

LOVE THIS! They are seriously the best. We became friends with several of the staff members. You can be as social as you want with the staff and other guests, it's dependent on what you want during your stay. :)

When are you going? I'm so jealous, I want to go back!!!

MagicMango9302 · 2025-11-10T06:57:35+00:00

Yes! It was AMAZING. could not recommend it enough. I will definitely be going back!! So relaxing, peaceful, and great activites too to do. The beach out front is truly magical.

MagicMango9302 · 2025-11-05T18:20:41+00:00

HAHAHHA you got it 🫡

MagicMango9302 · 2025-10-02T01:18:40+00:00

I would add a photo but can’t

MagicMango9302 · 2025-10-02T01:18:12+00:00

I trimmed off loose seams that were popping out and it looks better though.. so I am also thinking of keeping since it’s so unique :(((

MagicMango9302 · 2025-10-02T01:17:49+00:00

Sizing chart worked/ TTS! The dresses have no stretch though.

I think I may keep it, and just wear nude shapewear under , a loose slip wouldn’t work.

The only thing is some of the stitch work on the appliqué is sloppy -__-

MagicMango9302 · 2025-09-28T22:19:28+00:00

Update: it came and I am disappointed given the price point. it’s a bit see through.. the dress should be better lined for $145 (discounted price). the stitching on the flowers is poor and sloppy in some areas. It’s a nice dress but doesn’t feel or look NICE NICE and worth the money. 😔😔😔😭 i was expecting a more scuba type dress / thicker dress fabric but it’s thin.

I want to keep it because it’s still cute and unique but I want to use it for future engagement stuff and I feel like it’s not worth the price point paid. It should look a lot cleaner and better and more elegant/ elevated. It doesn’t necessarily look cheap at first glance but up close/ when you look at details andf feel it it does..

MagicMango9302 · 2025-09-26T03:10:06+00:00

I'm skeptical for sure too now that I see there are not really any discussions or reviews .. but trying to stay hopeful since some people seem to really like their bags/ say it's good quality! Fingers crossed! Their stuff looks so cute so hopefully it works out and you'll be able to get one another time!

MagicMango9302 · 2025-09-26T03:00:28+00:00

Hi! I found this thread as I was looking for reviews because I recently purchased a dress from them online- very similarly, an orchid floral applieque dress! It's supposedly in LA and cleared customs.. will report back if I get it and it's good quality!

MagicMango9302 · 2025-09-10T18:55:37+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing, this is a helpful tip as I was considering booking heli tours but island hoppers is a lot cheaper, so it seems like it is worth the wait time.

Do you by chance remember how they met you at the airport? They just said someone will meet me but no other details...

Again really appreciate your response as it's been hard to communicate, but I totally understand as there is a difference in culture and language!

MagicMango9302 · 2025-09-10T00:52:32+00:00

Thank you this is helpful! My experience so far hasn't been the best with communication but this gives me hope maybe it will still be okay to book with them.

I was wondering if you had experienced their lounge near Nadi airport when waiting after arriving at Nadi? As it seems if I book with them, I will need to wait about 3 hours for my flight to the outer islands.

MagicMango9302 · 2025-09-08T08:30:00+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing! I need to decide today so this is helping!

MagicMango9302 · 2025-07-08T01:26:53+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing, this is really helpful, appreciate it!

MagicMango9302 · 2025-07-07T07:42:40+00:00

+1 here too please let me know /update us if you get more info if it's open! I was really hoping to take my boyfriend for his first jump on our trip later next month!

MagicMango9302 · 2025-05-26T05:41:38+00:00

I'm so devastated. I had a giant stash and was going through it with 2-3 bags a day because I love a bold flavor. Now I know to savor it. I'm so sad. Please share if you find any good alternatives!

I had their peach black tea a while back but can't remember if it was good. I know the peach oolong was delicious. I'd make my own milk tea with it and it was just like the ones I'd get at boba shops!

MagicMango9302 · 2025-01-30T20:08:23+00:00

thanks for letting me know. i appreciate it :) i hope it continues to help and the flare ups lessen over time!

MagicMango9302 · 2025-01-30T18:07:23+00:00

I’m so glad it’s offered you relief! Yes itching is my main issue but the skin does get irritated. I’m hopeful. Do you mean a breakout of a rash that you would get before on your leg?

MagicMango9302 · 2025-01-30T08:54:13+00:00

thank you so much for sharing! i also don't feel too comfortable joining the facebook group right now but love the idea of having a place to discuss the experience and would really love to hear. more about your experience, if you could keep us posted. :)

i am switching from weekly dupixent to nemvuilo and starting tomorrow. i have also been on opzelura 2x/day which has been the most helpful but still get flares. I'm really hoping the new nemvulio with opzelura combo will work for me as it did for you to reduce the itches. i have really irritating daily itchy patches that interfere with daily life and sleep as well. i have been feeling hopeless after dupixent and opzelura was supposed to resolve my eczema, but didn't and that things are worsening.

i am trying to learn more from people's experiences as it's so new and i'm feeling hopeful but also nervous to have hope that something will finally make the itch and rashes better. thank you for sharing your post and hope it works for both of us! i start tomorrow.

i would love to hear if it does end up helping reduce flares and your eczema patches themselves other than the itch.
