Tony Robbins's Fiji Resort Makes Grown Men Cry

Where: Vanua Levu, Fiji

Ever wonder what the hell Tony Robbins did with all that self help guru money? Well wonder no more.  Seems Tony opened an idyllic resort in Fiji called, Namale Resort Fiji. So now the multi-millionaire motivational speaker has a place to kick it for three or four months a year.  

Internet travel vet Johnny Jet recently checked out the resort (Fiji in February?  Tough gig JJ) and here is what he found:

·325 acres of gorgeous grounds peppered with 16 thatch roofed open bures.  

·Tight security that prohibits locals from strolling around the resort grounds.

My first impression of Namale felt like a mix between Jurassic Park and the Flintstones movie. It was surreal.

(someone watched the Flinstones movie?)

The resort contains a giant work out room, an enormous bowling alley where you can bowl barefoot (ah now we get the Flinstones thing), free high speed Internet, and a kick ass beach.

Inside Johnny's bure was a plush two master suite with giant walk in closets, huge four post beds, a plunge pool, outdoor shower, hammock, a full sized kitchen and a fully stocked fridge.

Johnny's dad, who was traveling with him, loved the resort, and the island, so much he allegedly got all chocked up at the airport and blurted out, "I can't quit you Fiji."

Wow.  We were expecting this to be a story about some crazy self help resort--you know, a cult waiting to happen, but it appears to be an absolutely gorgeous resort, where you are waited on hand and foot.  Oh, and there is little evidence that it is owned by Robbins, for better or worse.
