Castaway
Island, Fiji was forced to temporarily close as a result of damage
sustained from Severe Tropical Cyclone Evan in December 2012.
Over
the past months, a tremendous amount of work has been undertaken by all
staff to restore the resort to its former glory. The private island
resort will reopen, refreshed, enhanced and on time as promised, 31
March 2013.
Geoffrey Shaw, Chairman & CEO, retained
all staff during the closure period, however their job descriptions were
revised to assist the reinstatement works. "During the closure, all our
staff have played a huge part and taken ownership in the reinstatement
of their much loved island resort. The outcome we have achieved would
have been an uphill battle without their commitment and loyalty" he
said.
All bures are now rethatched and many received new
tapa lined ceilings and air conditioning units. All bures have been
refreshed and refurbished in advance of the end of March reopening.
Hundreds
of plants from the Castaway nursery and many hundreds more purchased
ensure the palm fronds are swaying and the gardens are flourishing with
lush tropical blooms throughout the resort.
Castaway's white sand
beaches retain their magnificence, as do the pristine coral gardens and
reefs surrounding the island and beyond for swimmers, snorkelers and
divers alike.
"We look forward to again welcoming our
guests to enjoy the renowned warmth and genuine hospitality of Fiji's
most popular private island resort" said Mr Shaw.
