Fiji’s premier five star resort, Outrigger on the Lagoon on Viti Levu's Coral Coast, has emerged unscathed from Tropical Cyclone Evan.

General Manager, Peter Hopgood said that the winds had caused some superficial damage to the gardens with some trees coming down and thatching stripped from some Bures.  However  the resort had no structural damage and was operating as normal.

'The team did a superb job in battening down the resort and ensuring the safety and well being of guests,'’ he said.

'Our priority is always  the safety of our guests and staff. It was necessary to lock down the resort for a period of 16 hours as the full fury of Cyclone Evan passed over,' he said.

All restaurants and normal resort services have re-opened to guests and the Nadi Airport is now open.
