First off, the plane was WAY too small and SUPER rickety. And you would think a plane flying only two people to an island at a time would be able to leave whenever but no. We waited in some gross office with ’70s music until the rickety-ass plane arrived to almost kill us before we even got to “Fantasy” island. Then there were a bunch of hula girls — vom — that made me very uncomfortable with their super fake smiles (rape culture much?) and insisted on putting a lei on me that must have been made a LONG time ago because they didn’t carry any scent anymore. I was pretty bummed … And my fantasy sucked.

I have absolutely ZERO idea why FI doesn’t have a worse rating…I would give zero stars if I could.

The drink they hand you off the plane is weak and very obviously not made with fresh juice. In fact, the pineapple garnish was completely inedible. For that high a price tag=unacceptable. Disappointing.

Seriously, wtf!?!?! I spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to almost BE KILLED because some crazy motherf#$#&@r in a white suit thinks I need to learn an important life lesson instead!?!?!!??!

OK. Most regular readers of my reviews know that I like to give places a few chances before I post a bad review, and yes, I finally experienced what I have dreamed of since I was a little girl and had never been happier. BUT the loose board outside my room squeaked every time it was walked on and it kept me up A LOT during my stay. The water in the shower also takes a long time to heat up — so long that I started to get sad thinking about how much water I was wasting simply trying to bathe. The lighting in the room was fairly garish also — mainly overhead and the lamps in the room didn’t actually work.

Paid a lot of money for a ménage a trois and it was the SAME GIRL pretending to be two?? Are you f#%&%g kidding me?!! How is this place still in business!?

The towels were too thin and scratchy and seemed cheap. It was nice to see my loved one who died when I was a kid and that I’d always dreamed of seeing again and all, but I was told they didn’t have any cold cereal for breakfast, like AT ALL. Some “fantasy” island.

Um, I just wanted to kill Bigfoot and instead I have to hide from a treacherous hail of boulders and learn some lesson instead …? That plus the fact that they served way too much fish — which was often too dry — means I’ll be seeking legal options to get my money back.

One word people — INTERIOR DECORATING!!! Omg, the flowered wallpaper and white painted wicker furniture in the rooms were beyond appalling. And when I politely attempted to express my disappointment with the gluten-free meal options, the owner in the white suit just frowned at me and shook his head condescendingly and kept calling me “my dear.” Not okay.

My husband and I have always wanted to go back to a simpler time but oooooh no! Instead we were laughed at by the owner and scolded that we just got what we asked for. Wallowing in pig shit and almost starving to death wasn’t exactly what we expected …. FANTASY version of old tymey times this was not. Don’t waste your money. Nor were our concerns addressed in a timely fashion, and the owner is a condescending racist who seems to enjoy clapping his hands to make brown people dance and talks to his little-person assistant like he’s a child. It made us very uncomfortable.

Worst. Vacation. Ever.
