Райский уголок

Шикарное место. Небольшой остров с потрясающим резортом. Очень красивая территория. Персонал супер отзывчивый и дружелюбный. Пляжи шикарные! Питание дороже чем в других отелях, но кормят очень разнообразно.

Bad value for money

Beautiful island and surroundings

Bad value for money. Like a big dorm, except that we didn’t pay for the dorm. Music most of the day, so probably good for someone who is looking for party, but not so much if you wish to rest. The room wasn’t very clean, the couch in front of the room had lots of wholes. Bad organization. We payed the same for other hotels in the Yasawa islands but had a much worse experience for the same money here.

Returning guest, beautiful place

Food portions are good. Staff mostly friendly, lot's of activities to do on the island. Snorkelling is some of the best in Fiji. You have the option of 3 beaches at this resort.

They offer free guided snorkelling however the guide we had on this particular day couldn't have been less interested in taking us out. The shared showers need some maintenance, a deep clean and better lighting. Good to see this year they have some shampoo and shower gel on offer to guests. Communication from staff for cancelling activities very poor. Drinks always took a long time to come out no matter what time of day, was the same last year

Magical place

We love the house reef, 3 beaches, snorkeling safari, swim with Manta Rays, night snorkeling. All very beautiful experience.

Maybe we are not used to the food, had runs/ diarrhea for a couple of days.

Good reef, but not coming back.

I know that this is a super popular place because of mantas, but to be honest, we stayed at four other resorts and this one was our least favorite. The reef is beautiful and you will enjoy snorkeling a lot, and seeing mantas was great, except screaming guides in the water was extremely annoying and killed any sort of intimacy when you see such beautiful creatures in the water.

The food! I speak for vegetarian food and by far this place had the worst food out of 4 resorts we stayed at. We had a completely uncooked eggplant for dinner and a dry veggie burger. No extra thought or desire to make the food tasty was put into the dishes. I was glad that we stayed only one day at this place, because when you are on a vacation you want to eat something yummy, but here that would not happen. Also our bure had a tree scratching the roof the whole night and my husband and I didn’t sleep pretty much the whole night. He even tried to climb the roof at 2:30am to fix it, but couldn’t reach the branch. Swimming with mantas reminded me of some kindergarten camp, with guides yelling right and left, with several dozens of people in the water, you don’t enjoy beautiful mantas the way you wanted to.

Definitely worth the visit to enjoy the snorkeling, beaches and relax under the sun.

We liked the snorkeling it was beautiful with the different colors of coral and the fish. Beaches nice and sandy. but on one size not all the bures had sand infront of them so wasn't able to walk straight into the water. We were given 29 that was the furth

Not all the bures had sand in front of them so wasn't able to walk straight into the water there. We were given Bure 29 that was the furthest away from the dining and bar. After the first night was changed to another closer but was only allowed to stay one night and had move to another. I would ask to stay in Bures 14 15 16 or 22 23 if I was lucky enough to return,

Un lieu incroyable et une équipe merveilleuse et très à l'écoute !

L'équipe est incroyable et le resort est magnifique ! Le centre de plongée est super équipé, le personnel est super disponible et les Dortoirs sont très confortables.

Nous avons trouvé que la nourriture n'était pas de très grande qualité. Pour ce budget on s'attendait à mieux. Nous avons mangé des plats délicieux dans d'autres homestays et resorts pour moins cher. C'est assez basique et c'est dommage car tout le reste est vraiment fabuleux.

Wonderful experience

The facilities were great, with a sunset bar to chill before dinner and 3 beaches, one to watch the sunset from. Free guided snorkelling to explore beautiful protected sea life. I loved the awareness sessions on mantas, corals, sharks, etc.. The breakfast was great too!

Great spot to snorkel and soak up the "Gilligan's Island" feel of the resort!

The location is great. The resort has three beaches with great snorkeling off all of them. Particularly sunrise beach. However, if the wind gets up on that side you can go to one of the other beaches, a short walk away.

Can't think of anything.

My favorite island!!

Had the best 6 days on this island! I love how everything is close to each other, the 3 beaches, the dining/bar area and the rooms. The dorms are big and the beds were comfortable. There’s beautiful palm trees everywhere and the snorkeling is absolutely amazing! All the staff are so nice and make you feel at home, I wish I could stay longer :( Buffet lunch was very good every day! Will 100% come back here when I visit Fiji again in the future. Vinaka vakalevu!!!

The meal plan was quite expensive but understandable (islands are always more expensive as the food has to be brought there) I personally would’ve preferred more buffet dinners instead of the set or a la carte menu’s, I only had 1 out of 5 nights.

One of the best resorts in Fiji

Excellent resort in the island (only one) and better than others in the closest islands. The staff is just amazing! Good food, entertainment and 3 great beaches just less than 5 minutes walking...I totally recommend this place. Clean and confortable rooms/beds and a lot of activities to do! Great surroundings/reefs for snorkeling

WIFI might be improved...only works at the restaurant

Magic 🩵

I LOVE this little island. It was 10 days of magic. If u love sea and underwater wonderland u will enjoy in every snorkel and dive, and it will be like a drug u ll just want it more and more. One of my favorite thing is that u have 3 beaches so u ALWAYS can hide from the wind and more important find yourself all alone in perfect peace listening the talk between winds and birds. Staff is amazing, super friendly and the most important part of the island cause they give u all their heart and u feel it and charish it and bring it with u home to save it forever in a box of memories.

Beautiful Barefoot Manta

Definitely worth staying in a beachfront villa. There is a cute dive shop and a marine centre where the marine biologists educate about the marine life. Every afternoon the staff play volleyball and anyone can join. The dive sites are wonderful, (though wouldn’t recommend the wreck). The staff are wonderful, always smiling, they sing twice every day, once to welcome guests and once to farewell. There is plenty of food and the portions are generous. Everyday there is a menu to choose from for your next meal. Entree, Main, Dessert. Drinks are not included (other than water) but there is happy hour every day. I would recommend going during Manta season as that would be the highlight (we weren’t there for that). There are no Mantas out of season. We also went to Barefoot Kuata and preferred it.

In the height of summer it is really hot as there is no air con, though there are fans. Would recommend going when a little cooler and during Manta season

THE place to stay if you love snorkeling and diving

The location is fantastic! You can enjoy 3 different beaches (Sunrise, Sunset and Manta) and snorkel straight from the beach. The design of their Ocean View Bure is beautiful.

The overpriced compulsory meal plan that you have to pay even if you don’t want to eat. The food is not worth the money. You can pick from 3 main options which never included traditional food in the days we were there. Some of the staff were helpful and friendly but not all of them.

Besser als das Schwesterresort

Wesentlich schöner gelegen als das Schwesterresort, das Frühstück war in Buffetform, fürs Mittag- und Abendsessen konnte man aus einer Auswahl von ca. 4-5 Gerichten Wählen. Die Auswahl war immer super und geschmacklich war es auch fast immer gut. Die Betten im Dorm waren sauber. Zu meiner Zeit hatte leider jemand Bettbugs vom Bamboo mitgebracht und sie haben wirklich vorbildlich darauf reagiert. Es gab außerdem jeden Tag 2 gratis guided snorkling Termine so dass man wirklich so weit raus kam wie man alleine vermutlich nicht schwimmen würde. Das Riff ist auch außerhalb der Mantaray Season das schönste das ich gesehen habe . Zu loben ist insbesondere der ältere Mann der immer Gutarre gespielt hat und auch sonst super hilfsbereit war!

Die Toiletten und Duschen wurden zu selten gereinigt und dadurch dass sie sehr offen gestaltet sind waren oft Tiere drin. Bei der Abfahrt wäre fast mein Koffer auf der Insel geblieben, obwohl ich der Rezeption 3x gesagt habe wo er steht und dass er immer noch da steht. Beim Volleyball gab es immer interessierte Gäste die erschienen, jedoch spielte das Personal lediglich unter sich und lies die Gäste zuschauen.

Amazing snorkelling and wonderful staff

I loved the free guided snorkelling with the marine biologists. The paid night snorkel was incredible! I also loved the culture sessions with Si - language lessons, coconut processing, cooking.

More hammocks. Less heat and more breeze😉

Lives up to the Fiji slogan welcome home

The Reef, staff and the island itself. The reef is one of the most incredible we have seen and as a return visit 5 years on can see the improvements made thanks to the efforts of the team to protect and grow it. The staff are so welcoming and friendly - always keen to chat and ask about your travels etc. Love the vibe on this island it’s a great community of people and they really do want everyone to feel at home. The dive crew are the best!!! Despite below feedback for improvement we wouldn’t hesitate to return as positives still outweigh negatives

Communication and understanding (of celiac disease) needs to be improved when it comes to Gluten Free guests (for some people this is a severe issue). It’s not acceptable to be served something that you have to throw up and for there to be uncertainty around what is ok to eat on multiple occasions. There wasn’t enough room in dorm rooms for everyone’s stuff when full (annoying as the whole 5 nights there was an empty dorm). All it would take for improvement here is to make sure there is a drawer for each bed. One of the fans in our dorm room didn’t really work so it was incredibly hot at night so very poor sleep. Music in the restaurant / reception area was often unnecessarily loud - annoying as that’s the only place with wifi where you can make calls and booming music is not welcome at 6.30am. The only other point would be about providing some more comfortable seating / relaxing areas all around.

Whether you scuba or snorkel this relaxing, friendly resort is an excellent stay.

Overall a different vacation style for me. With that said the staff, who made a great effort to know your name was very accommodating and when there was an issue it was resolved quickly. In. nutshell the staff was amazing.

Bar service was a little slow but the friendliness of the staff somewhat made up for that. Could have used a broom in the room due to the amount of sand I tracked in which could have just been me.

Exceptional

We loved it so much! We stayed 7 days in a dorm tent and it was very comfortable and got cleaned every day. We went snorkeling every day from all of the 3 beaches and saw so many different fishes and corals. It was beautiful! But as muck diving lovers we enjoyed the muck diving with Rob the most! We were fortunate enough to find 3 different types of the rare Shaun the Sheep nudibranch, a ghostpipefish and even a seahorse. 🥰

Nature and friendship at ypur door

I loved my bure and its wonderful position a few steps from sunset beach. I loved the friendliness of the staff and all the wonderful meals. I thought the 'crab race' was great fun!

I had a minor accident the week before I left for Fiji so this seriously restricted my participation in most of the wonderful water activities. Putting that aside, I did think that the resident group of Uni students were a bit too loud. I suggest an 11 pm curfew.

Very good

Nice house reef, they maintain it very well. Happy to do some snorkeling around the reefs. Breakfast was good and a lot of choices.

Takes sometime long time before you got lunch or dinnner, but quality can be better, specially for the price you paid for it. Dorms are in a tent, not ideal when during rainy season.

Two days wasn’t enough

Had the best time there. Wonderful welcome from the staff, great atmosphere at all times. Plenty of activities for those who wish to relax (hammocks, choice of beaches, cocktails…), be active (dive, snorkel, hime to viewpoint, beach volley…), or learn (village visits, in house marine biology team offering talks and outings). The dorm was clean, comfy and not too crowded. Food was varied and tasty.
