    The location is absolutely perfect, the Bure's were beautiful and the food was fresh and yum. Staff were lovely. The activities are definitely worth doing and the bed was clean and comfy. I couldn't have imagined anywhere better for our trip <3

    Lack of information/organization regarding prices for food and activities. Some activities were unavailable due to the lack of participants. Better information and proper snorkeling gear about the caves trip.

    A Little gemstone surrounded by green park and white sand. Comfortable bungalows and great food.

    Lackluster snorkeling equipment (but there was no charge for it).

    Friendly staff, good food, continuous electricity and wifi. We left an item of value behind and they put it on the ferry for us to pick up.

    No aircon in the rooms. Room had a few lizards which freaked my wife out (but I guess this is common for other Fiji hotels). Not great snorkeling in front of resort.

    Food was amazing. Great views and nice walks nearby. Friendly staff

    The food was great but could maybe have a bit more vegetarian options.

    Staff we so friendly. The place was literally on the water so just a 1 minute walk to the water. Relaxed environment. Hike to blue lagoon had amazing views. Kayaking around the island was easy and so easy to see sealife. Will definitely go back.

    We would have liked more flexibility with the minimum number of guests to do the activities. There weren’t too many people in the lodge and that made it difficult for us to be able to reach the number to go to the caves or blue lagoon.

    Lovely location in a remote island. We enjoyed having the family meals with the other guests as it made us feel at home. We would come back!

    Not as many activities available but you can go to nearby resorts to do the things they don’t offer.

    Very big room compared to what you get at other places. We loved they set one table for everyone that is staying so you get to know the other guests.

    The huts do not have air-conditioning so it gets pretty stuffy at night. That said, it is nice not to have the rattle of air-con units going the whole time, so the lack of noise actually adds to the peaceful ambience. The meals are communal so you have to talk to other people! If you're looking for total solitude and privacy you won't get it, but that's the island way of life.

    Stunning location in paradise. Located on the beach means you get a permanent sea breeze which takes the heat out of the day. Accommodation is in tin-roof huts with en suite bathroom facilities. Rooms are very big. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming and bend over backwards to make your stay comfortable. Meals are served three times a day, at $20 per meal. You can opt out of any meal if you want. Day trips are organised by the staff, if you want to go to the Blue Lagoon, snorkelling, or hiking.

    Lack of comfortable chairs/ loungers. Only hammocks, barstools and plastic seats. We just wanted a cushioned armchair or sofa or beach lounger

    The family feel, the communal meals. We met lots of interesting people here as opposed to the other resorts.

    Some facilities including the showers didn’t work very well. Hot water was hit & miss. Although it was clean our bathroom had a smell of urine about it. Wifi was limited and turned off about 8pm.

    Location was gorgeous, very peaceful. Good walks to Blue Lagoon. Fantastic snorkelling. Free use of canoes and snorkelling equipment. Hammocks were nice too. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

    The water pressure from the shower was quite average . The food was over priced as well.

    The beach and snorkelling was very beautiful. The pavillion had great scenery lookout view from the bar. The staff were very accommodating and made sure everything was good and meals were planned each day.

    The bed wasn’t the best as it was Rocky, No activities to do, if you just want to rest and do nothing, this is the place, there is pretty much no bar but a single fridge advertising, beer and soft drinks and water only so don’t expect cocktails here!

    It’s was a pretty place to stay!

    The place is super nice, everything very tidy and looked after, right in front of an amazing beach. You can grab everyday your kayak for free and go exploring the reef and the other beaches. You have the possibility to do an amazing tracking all over the mountains with breathtaking views till the other side of the island. Nice food and staff.

    Location can be windy - can walk to more sheltered bay with great snorkelling, but mostly too windy for kayaking while we were there. Shower was a bit dribbly but did have warm water. I would have liked to see more of the local food on the menu but i guess they have to cater for less adventurous palates too.

    Lovely staff. Nice location with grass as well as on the beach. Nice vibe with interesting people. It’s not a fancy resort but all the more charming for that. Good value for money, including drinks. Kayaks and snorkels available to use any time. Great snorkelling just near the lodge but it can be windy. It’s a really nice walk over the hill to Blue Lagoon/Oarsman’s Bay Resorts where it’s much more sheltered and there is more really good snorkelling, you can also walk along the beach at low tide (about 4km just over an hour each way). Good trips to cave and Blue Lagoon snorkelling. Some great local dishes.

    Nothing to complain about. If something was missing at your room you can ask it at the reception at it will be sorted!

    Everything was very clean, very friendly staff, foods really good & healthy at a very reasonable price. Activities offered really worth it. Definitly reccomend this place for couples on their 30’s as us 😄
