    The 1km road to the property is gravel and not in the best shape. Some issues with my room in terms of plumbing - toilet and hot water. And an ant problem in my room. No tv (possibly no reception anyway). None of these were huge issues, but still detractors. I spent most of my days in the communal areas though, so these were only an issue at night. Pool table needs chalk and for the table legs to be adjusted.

    The communal areas were nice and a good place for people to relax and meet new people. Free continental breakfast. Free items to use such as a volleyball, kayaks, SUPs, and snorkels. Food menu was reasonably priced and a decent size/quality.

    Cold shower. The place didn't feel clean cos of the rain the sandy bits fell everywhere. Pillows horrible.

    Friendly helpful staff, Nice area, pretty. Good pool. Nice beach altho the continous rain and storms didnt help it be nicer. The paddleboarding and activities included were good. Restaurant was nice. Food hit and miss. One time burger amazing. Last night wasnt at all. Bed was comfy. Was really good to have nice people staying to talk to and the awesome staff 😀

    Would have liked a chair in our Bure. I’m sure if we had asked one would have been provided.

    Food excellent, snorkeling, swimming, kayaking and paddle boarding was great. Nice to have reef shoes available for guests.

    Pillows were thin with little support but no worse than other places. Place needs a bit of maintenance but you see the maintenance staff working hard. This certainly did not deter us from loving our time there!

    What’s not to love! The staff are amazing so nice and accommodating! The location is right on the beach, when we were there you couldn’t snorkel 🤿 directly off the beach as it was low tide from midday. The food is delicious with a varied menu is on a five day cycle. Great selection of drinks available at the bar. Rooms are basic could do with some more shelves around it. Has a clothes line to dry your clothes live this. Ed checks in with you to see how you are enjoying your stay and if you need any assistance with activities or tours. We loved it we left feeling so relaxed and would definitely go back. They have a few hammocks around and a lovely big day bed with ocean views.

    Set your "resort" expectations meter low, and allow 1-2 days to get use to the place- it's great.

    Like many 2-3 star resorts in the Pacific, the word "resort" can be misleading for many people. Expectations come high when you use the word resort. You should think closer to high end backpackers or motel. If you set your expectations high you will likely be disappointed. In the islands, water quality in your room can be an issue. Power cuts do happen. They don't always have a commercial diesel generator for back up power. Wifi may be patchy or restricted to the reception area only. So get your own local SIM card. Things are always getting patched up or maintained, which is normal. Access roads into "resorts" will often be bumpy and gravel. The bures often don't come with aircon and are very simple in their furnishings. Room toilets are often right next to the shower with little separating them. Meals and water will always be double or more than buying outside the resort. So, don't expect a 2-star resort in Fiji to be like a 2-star hotel in the modern Western world. And you'll be sweet.

    Nice beach and great restaurant food. Ed and Jen the owners were very approachable and helpful in answering any questions. Pool was nice. Free activities equipment was great.

    Only the low water pressure in the bathroom but this wasn't a biggy.

    The tranquil tropical gardens and the location, snorkeling from the beach, well worth the drive here for its chilled out vibes. The food was so tasty, every meal was delicious. We were well looked after by all the staff. Nice mix of people stay here.

    Like most coral coast resorts, it’s not great for ocean swimming and ocean activities at low tide. This isn’t a criticism of the resort at all, simply guidance for people trying to work out where they might want to stay.

    Mango Bay was excellent, and the staff and facilities were great.

    Four towels for room with four people swimming etc these quickly got wet and it seemed to take days to get more. No bathmat for a bathroom which got fully wet from the shower. Housekeeping didn't really occur until day 4 of our 5 days.

    Breakfast was great. Location out of the way but we enjoyed peace and quiet and no issues getting a bus into town. Great snorkelling gear to use. Friendly lovely staff. Rotating food menu each day was awesome and good vegetarian options.

    The exceptional friendly staff are easily the stars of this resort. Everyone was so kind and helpful and just made you feel at home. Ed was an amazing host. He even went out of his way to get a chicken pie when my partner was hankering to try one. The food, oh my world, the food here was incredible, easily one of the highlights of our trip. The chef here is a magician. I still dream about the chicken vakalolo in my sleep. If you're after the 'Hilton' experience, this is not the place for you. The Bures are basic accommodation, so adjust your expectations accordingly.

    We weren’t able to stay in the Bure we booked due to an issue and the Bure we stayed in had a couple of maintenance issues but nothing that took away from the trip.

    The location is stunning, right on the beach. The staff are super friendly. The food is amazing, very tasty. Menu changes daily with a different cocktail of the night. You can do as little or as much as you like. Paddle boards, kayaks and snorkelling equipment are available for use at no extra charge. Tours can easily be booked through the resort. This is a more traditional type resort so if you are needing the comforts of home this isn’t the place for you. We found it a great spot to relax and rewind and get away from the normal rush of home. We had a hire car which made getting around the island easier, as Mango Bay is out of the way. 2 hours from the airport.
