Bucket List Best Bets

On the island of Savu Savu at Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort during the dinner we are serenaded by the "Bula Boys"...they sit on their traditional mats with the ceremonial "Kava" bowl in the center and entertain with wonderful Fijian music. I heard a rumor that they can also play just about anything...the challenge was on and I requested my friends favorite Italian melody...could they play it? Turn up your speakers and hear for yourself...and the guitar solo...brings tears to your eyes...ciao

For my friends

Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort is known for providing an incredible experience for families AND non families, with an unbelievable kids program...
We met a couple who got engaged here on the beach years ago and now returned with their boys, age 2 and 4. Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort assigns children up to ages 5 their own nanny for the entire stay...the daily programs are from 5 am - 9 30 pm...kids from 6-12 participate in individual and group events...all with a huge team of activity leaders, guides, educators, and Fijis own marine biologist Johnny Singh. The couple with the 2 & 4 year olds...they were relaxed and it was the first time they read a book in 3 years!

Part of the JMCR secret to attracting couples and families is "segmentation"...special kids areas, called "BULA Club"...separate family/kids restaurant, separate pools,dedicated recreation areas etc.. Here are some pics of kids area in secluded area away from adult sections and bures...

This is one of the best "tropical" children's program in the world...and couples traveling without kids remark that they seldom even notice the kids...more on the adult areas later...but first, the family areas
