Great resort and fantastic staff. Could not ask for a more pleasant level of service.

Despite being a large and busy resort there is always somewhere you can have no one around. Also expire 2 other resorts. Heaps to do for teenagers and a good variety of restaurants. Clear water and snorkelling just off the beach.

Budget friendly. Not super clean

Just returned from nine nights (single Dad & two kids, 11 & 5) and we all loved it. I've been to Fiji a couple of times previously but this was the first time out to an island and it was definitely worth the extra expense. Water activities were excellent, in particular the water jungle and even the sand-bar snorkelling was good for kids. Food was pretty good, though it was difficult to get booked into anything other than the main buffet rom for evening meal, but we did go to Tavola twice. I'd probably only do 5-nights next time and go somewhere else too, but I would definitely return here.

Great for families, lots of activities to do. I found the food very expensive, especially for the buffet at Copra. Unfortunately we got sick and weren’t the only ones at the time. The doctor told us not to drink the filtered water, but we think it came from either the fresh fruits/veggies, or the pools.

Need new pillows in the rooms. Pillows are in horrifically bad state.

Staff are charming. It’s beautifully situated. Very family orientated. But also great for those whose children have grown. We will be returning!!

Beautiful views and friendly people

Great holiday destination. Perfect for kids

We really enjoyed our stay. Plenty to do especially with kids. Really liked being right on the water with good snorkeling at the reef or a short boat ride nearby. Look forward to returning.

We had read some average reviews on plantation island so had lower expectations than our previous stay at Castaway. We were pleasantly surprised at how great plantation was and rated it even higher than Castaway for a lot of things. The selection of great restaurants and la carte menus was fantastic. Also we were able to afford a beach bure which was amazing (the bed was only a queen though, would have preferred a king, and the set up of the room didn’t allow you to lie in your bed and look at the sea). We were right in front of the beautiful beach and turquoise water, near snorkeling spot. For the kids (our 4 and 8 year old) there were so many fun things to play on and the kids club was great. Note kids have to be 4 for the kids club or you’ll be paying a nanny $15 Fijian an hour). We bought a lot of our own food as don’t like to eat lots of buffet meals, there’s a fridge, but no microwave which we recommend booking before you come as it took us 3 days to get ours. We went first week of Jan which was nice. It rained a couple of times at night, but clear days to do activities. Was a bit on the warmer side after 10am to sit outside in the hammock and read so spent afternoons in our room while kids napped. Snorkeling at plantation wasn’t as good as Castaway but the short one hour snorkeling trips were well worth it and only $35 Fijian a trip so we did a couple. Loved the couples massage on the beach but the let them know where you want them to focus or you’ll be disappointed.

Great resort

Great place for holidays. Nice resort, good customer service. Beaches are finest and plenty to do. Facilities are good. Would have been nice if there was more local food in the menu.....

Wonderful entertaining island especially for the kids. The staff were all amazing!

Hotel and staff are great and Helpful. Expedia is hopeless and should be avoided. Unable to stay in the hotel for 2 of the days I paid thanks to expedia incomptence and unhelpfulness

Me and my two young boys had such a great time on the Island we could have happily stayed much longer! The staff were so friendly and helpful. Everywhere was clean. Felt super safe as a mum travelling alone with children. So many activities! Would have liked more selection in the grocery/market shop. and night time entertainment could have started a littler earlier for younger children. But no complaints here - we'd love to return again one day thank you! :)

Fantastic for children!

Excellent for families. Swimming, sun, sports, buffet was reasonable, but other restaurants good. Could also walk to Musket Cove restaurant and cafe. Excellent food there

The property is a dream for kids, so much to do. The Kids Club, Playgrounds and Water Park are epic. Beautiful lagoon, and good amount of free watersports available. We were given the wrong room type on arrival, but managed to move the next day. I would recommend the Studio Ocean or Garden Bures they are quite spacious will fit up to 5 with a rollaway. Also the new Beachfront Hotel rooms are great, but not as spacious. Tavola Restaurant was our favourite!

View was excellent . Too much flies

Beach is stunning, buffet was great. Staff were amazing. Cleaning was an issue. Lots of cigarette butts, bottle caps outside our room. Sheets were never changed within our 4 night stay. Toilet was really gross and shower pressure almost none existent during peak usage time (literally ran out of the shower head in a single stream trickle). Lots of mosquitoes compared to other resorts. Overall this place is really fun for kids at a reasonable price, just a little run down.

If you ever thought of being stranded on a island with all the luxuries of life, then this is the place for You. We had a blast with our children, we stayed 3 nights, did scuba, snorkel, paddle boarding, I even walked on the other side to do some fishing on my own. Go enjoy and treat yourself. Dining buffet for breakfast and dinner is AWESOME, plenty of choices. Staff there is A1,, be back soon for another visit!!!

The real FIJiI experience is at plantation,, I was not sure if was worth the xtra $$$ yo go to private resort and pay, but the Xperia e made me feel better about myself and my family. The place is awesome and so laid back, people actually say hi and hello. Everyone is in local motion mode and there is no hurry like the states or U.K. I did some simple fishing w/ rod and real and plastic and spinner baits as I walked around the small island and it was ,,,, liberating, got a chance to catch my breath after running bz as CEO since 2005. The traditional grog ceremony my was awesome and so powerful w/the Fijian guys & gals singing with all their heart. The young man who did solo show was awesome, only 28 yrs old, I told him he gave me strong energey to last for 5 yrs. Thank you plantation crew,,, and we will be back soon as possible on✅😘🙏. Thank you for all your hard working support and dedication to our family. C u soon again!!!

Amazing experience with the family. We enjoyed the included activities such as kayak, SUP boards, sail boat, sports balls, board games. Staff was incredibly courteous and helpful. The location is amazing, the water is crystal clear.

We visited Plantation Island resort during the Australian school holiday period. Plantation Island Resort is an excellent option for families with young children. Overall, the staff are excellent AND pushed beyond to look after the guests. The location is beautiful, offering fun for everyone. We would recommend this place to our adult children with young grandchildren. We did not want to eat buffet food. Although the a la carte food was tasty, it was sometimes served a bit cool. We think this was because of the large numbers of dining guests. Our next visit to Plantation Island Resort will be off-school holiday period.

Service was terrible even when the restaurant was slow. They wouldn’t let us take food out to our daughter who was sick. The resort lists activities which are not there such as mini golf and para-sailing. Rooms are cinder block with peeling paint in the windows. Would never go back.

Great place to spend a couple of nights, very friendly staff, great view, nice food, close to grocery store. Limited parking available & a lot of stray dogs but was aware of both of these when I booked.

We stayed at a newer hotel ocean view room. Nothing beats this view and location in all of mal-allo-lailai island. Torquoise waters, zero sea weed beaches. Enough to do for whole family. Good food options, loads of restaurants. Stay at the new rooms…you won’t be disappointed.

AMAZING!!!!

I liked the staff. Very friendly and helpful. I enjoyed the range of activities on offer. I was slightly disappointed with the accommodations. The walls were so thin I could hear people in the next unit talking. I could even hear snoring from the next unit. I wouldn't book a poolside room again

Great place for families. Staff are very friendly and great with kids. The new kids club playground was great.

The island is beautiful, crystal waters, fish galore. The under water museam was my favourite. Perfect spot to take the family.
