    I am reluctant to highlight the issues at this resort as I suspect it may impact negatively on the beautiful staff there. This resort has a priority of wanting to squeeze every cent from you but this definitely comes from management pressure, while they seem to exploit their staff and pay them peanuts. 😉 they could definitely benefit from training the cooks better. This is on management, not the staff.

    Loved the location and most of the staff. The bungalow is very comfortable and clean and met our needs. Very restful, special place.

    Not the greatest breakfast. Very very limited. Extremely high prices for food. Not the best. The fact this resort is owned by Chinese. They capitalise on the tourists and pay their beautiful staff crumbs. Dear owner, please look after your staff. They are the life blood of your resort.

    Loved the staff & housekeepers here. They are the most beautiful, attentive staff! They wish to welcome you & connect with you. Shout out to barman & Tooey. And to any other special staff I've forgotten.

    Overpriced food and drinks. No shade around the pool. Karaoke, this was the staff doing karaoke no guests participated. Loud terrible music on repeat.

    Could snorkel off beach if the tide was right. Beach front. Quiet location. Can catch the local bus into Sigatoka.

    The villa with garden view is too close to the main road, Queen street, so at night there are so many trucks coming and going though, I did not really have a good night sleep :(

    The place is quite clean, spacious, right in front of the beach. Stuff is very friendly, Norman’s singing lighted up the place in the evening.

    It’s not really near anything else. So you have to get taxis everywhere. So get your driver to stop at the supermarket on your way from the Airport to the Resort. Otherwise it’s a $60 round trip going back there later on.

    Our hut was so close to the beach (All the huts are)The view is amazing! It’s a really beautiful spot.

    It is in a quiet location with not much "action" outside of the resort.

    A delightfully quiet and unpretentious resort with very friendly staff. The location of the bungalow was perfect, overlooking a grassed area with coconut palms, before the beach and ocean.

    The food situation really should be improved. We waited two hours for our food to come out at times. The breakfast is very minimal - toast fruit and cereal only.

    We adored our stay at this super relaxing and fantastically located property. It was nice and quiet and peaceful. Doesn’t get much better than watching the sunset over the ocean from your own private plunge pool. We had a wonderful driver who helped us to plan out our activities because we sadly only had such a short amount of time.

    We paid $25pp for a continental breakfast. It was a pretty sad continental breakfast featuring white bread, jams, 3 basic cereals and fruit. Out of everywhere we stayed, this was the most ‘premium’ accomodation yet the breakfast was similar selection to that of a hostel. I don’t mind a simple breakfast but at that price, I’d expect some pastries and yoghurt thrown in!

    Loved the private bure! Bliss location, room was comfortable, surroundings are beautiful and pool was great.

    The decor was dark & poor lighting in the unit made it feel gloomy on cloudy, rainy days, it was difficult to see well enough to read. Resorted to using the bedside light or the phone torch. Sadly, our enjoyable stay at this resort was spoilt the Saturday night we became invisible. There's no excuse for keeping diners waiting almost 2 hours for their main meal of the day. For the couple at a nearby table it was an even longer wait and like us they felt insulted to be ignored for so long after placing an order. We, they, were assured several times our meals were coming but they didn't arrive until most of the other diners had been attended to by which time we were very hungry and upset. My meal was disappointing after such a long wait and we left the dining room feeling resentful and annoyed. Management has to take responsibility for this in not providing extra staff for planned events. In this case a visiting sports group buffet & a special Island Dinner were planned which obviously required extra kitchen & waiting staff. It appears by ordering from the normal men we had to wait & wait & wait. Usually, our meals arrived within half an hour or so.

    A nice welcome by all the staff who were friendly & obliging. Great location by white sandy beach in a peaceful, natural, garden setting kept immaculate by the gardening staff in spite of the windy weather. None of the hype & noise of some bigger resorts. Though not on the beachfront we had a nice view of the sea from our unit. Very comfortable beds.

    Breakfast is continental, meaning fruit, coffee, and cereal are on the table, but for toast, you have to wait sometimes too long. Put a toaster and fresh bread on the table as well, and problem solved.

    The pool villa was awesome. The food is delicious, and the staff was very cool and friendly. Resort is so quiet and secluded that you feel like in your own slice of heaven.

    The food is not good at all. The majority of the menu is junk food, and not very tasty. The breakfast is also bad. If they create a better menu the place would be great.

    The resort is very nice, with an stunning beach and beautiful cabins. You can snorkeling from the shore, there are a lot of fish and starfish. It is a good place to spend the weekend.
