Paradise Taveuni or Garden Island. Can't decide

Never heard of garden island resort. Most folks here going to Taveuni are picking between Paradise and Taveuni Dive Resort. Paradise is significantly larger and closer to the water, while TDR is smaller and more private and family-like, and across the street from the beachfront (<5 min walk to beach/jetty). Both have solid dive ops as far as I know. Last I knew Paradise was for sale, so don't know if that's changed.

If you're willing to stay at a homestay with less nice furnishings, I would give 100 stars to AeroView homestay on Taveuni. Spent 2 weeks there, and spent most of my time out and about so staying at a nice place didn't matter to me, but the hosts were wonderful and superb (friendly, homecooked meals everyday, chauffeur). Used the money I saved on more tank dives with Taveuni ocean sports.

I am a fan of Taveuni Dive Resort. Quality operation, excellent food and accommodations and much closer to the reefs and diving than Paradise Taveuni. 2 or 3 dives a day options. I happen to be here at TDR currently and can't say enough positive.

We spent a week at Paradise Taveuni in May and loved it. Great accommodations, friendly service, ok food, great dive operation with 2-3 dives/day (and night dives some days). They have good AC if that is a factor.
