    Could not fault them. Staff were lovely and happy to help with anything you need. The food was delicious too. A couple of nights the power went out but it always came back on and I don't think this was the resorts fault.

    Oh my goodness! What an amazing resort and little pocket of the world. We stayed 6 nights and wished we could have stayed longer. The staff were so lovely and the facilities great. So many activities. We loved the private beach picnics, beach, snorkelling and spa treatments. If you're looking for a place to stay in Fiji, book this one! You won't regret it. We will be back for sure!

    Everything was perfect.

    We loved every moment spent there. The island has stunning scenery and beaches, food was great, but the best thing was the staff ranking well above any resorts we know - the most heartwarming hospitality. Had tears in my eyes when they sang us a farewell song when we were leaving.

    Absolutely nothing.

    Every bit about this was amazing. From the food, to the location, and of course, the loveliest locals I've ever known. The locals know how to do happy. The resort is filled with amazing activities including going to the Blue Lagoon Cave or having a picnic on a secluded paradise beach where you're left to have the entire beach to yourself! Not doing any activities is equally amazing where you can just chill to take in the ocean views which you can never get tired of.

    Value for money. Standard of some of the services needs to be raised to align with the high price level.

    World class beach with luxurious and spacious bungalows directly at the beach, friendly and responsive staff, good food. Scenic flight to the resort.

    I was a little disappointed in the amount of bugs that were in the rooms, but your on an island so some should be expected. We slept with many geckos and tons of ants/moths.

    We liked the resort overall in general. What I loved the most was the seclusion and privacy overall. I rarely saw other guest except for meals and excursions. This was great. I especially loved the private picnics. This was by far the best! Next time I will book more picnics!! Staff very friendly.

    Whilst I appreciate supplies are difficult to get and a focus is on local produce the food handling and the final result of dishes served is not up to par. E.G Frozen bread or croissants when thawed should be heated up in an oven not served cold with a soggy wet bottom, no one is in a hurry and is quite happy to wait for a couple of minutes to have an edible croissant instead of mush. Cuisine is local but perhaps a little training to bring up the standard would be a worthwhile investment.

    The location was excellent the people were outstanding and the experience very nice.

    Please refer to above. We did approach the Resort's owner and management to discuss the dramatic difference from our previous visit in 2016 and to discuss our bitter disappointment with the food quality delivered to our plates, a common talking point brought up continually by many other frustrated and disappointed guests. The owner said they would talk to the chef, however, we felt that the current chef's were doing their best, but were well out of their depths to have the skills to provide FIVE STAR dining. Even simple dishes were very variable, and not enjoyable e.g. eggs any way, french toast, any cut of meat whether that be pork belly, steak, salmon, lamb, tuna, etc etc.

    Fresh uncooked produce/fruit was fantastic and plentiful, available on demand, served with a smile. However cooked options very variable and average at best.

    The rooms are in need of some update. The air conditioning was barely fit for purpose and unable to cope with the room size. It was located directly over the bed which is not good as it does not allow a good nights sleep due to noise and cold chills. Lack of internet into the rooms not really understandable in this day and age. needed to keep in touch with work but very inconvenient to have to do this from a public area.

    Location was good and the staff fine.
