CONGRATULATION to Tokoriki Islands Resort.

It was ranked among the top 25 hotels in the South Pacific, according to the 2013 Trip Advisor Travellers Choice online website.

According to Travel Blackboard Australia, the newest property to 8Hotels Collection offers not only one of the most picturesque settings but a true boutique experience in the South Pacific region.

“A child-free, boutique retreat located in the Mamanuca islands exudes all things indulgent,” reported the Australian media.

The 34 beach front, freestanding bure and villas with plunge pools were known for its relaxed atmosphere. “This property really owns its space on the leading scale of top hotels in the South Pacific,” the website said.

Resort general manager Robert Ring made public their priority was to provide the highest level of service to guests.

“This top 25 ranking is a true testament once again from our guests who have shared their amazing Tokoriki experience with Trip Advisor and the world. We are very privileged to be able to have a beautiful resort with unique experiences offered by the friendliest and happiest people on the planet — our Fijian team,” he said.

Meanwhile, 8Hotels Collection chief executive officer Paul Fischmann said the appointment of Tokoriki Island Resort to 8Hotels Collection in November last year was a milestone achievement for the company.
