We recently stayed at Octopus resort and it is honestly so difficult to put into words just HOW WONDERFUL and truly memorable this time was, that its taken over two weeks to even try. We had stayed there a long time ago for three consecutive years and been longing to return ever since.Of course we expected lots of changes but the minute we arrived in the bay 20 years melted away and we felt like arriving “home”. Where to begin to list the treasures of this special place!. To our amazement we had booked a garden bure but at checkin found we had been moved to a beachfront bure which was out of this world. THE MOST beautiful beach and ocean quality in the world ( and amazingly at times we were the only ones on it!) Standing under pristine fresh water shower from a spring in the Waya mountain looking at the night sky in the beautiful outdoor bathroom falling asleep rocked by the ocean waves…and SO much more. But the true heart of Octopus is the people of this place most of whom are from the adjoining Nalawauki village, whose tireless hard work and gracious welcome and hospitality enveloped us in so much kindness from arrival to the sad time of farewell. I could list so many names of individuals’ endless care and kindness, but would hate to miss anyone, so can say unequivocally that from the newest trainees to those who have been there long, every single staff person went above and beyond in their care. The food is amazing as many reviewers also report, and on top of which the head chef/s took amazing care to attend to some of our health related preferences. There are great activity options but we couldnt tear ourselves away from the warm sea and stunning beach our favourite place. An exception and absolute highlight was a visit to Nalauwaki village and kindy. This review doesnt really touch the sides of how amazing this time was so if you are reading it and can at all manage to go to Octopus do not hesitate. We cant really express but we send our very deep gratitude and appreciation to all at Octopus. If we can ever manage it again we would return in a heartbeat. So the biggest VINAKA and love to all.

Wow, what a resort! What an experience! From the very first moment, we felt like we had found a little piece of paradise. The service is unparalleled, the food is delicious and varied, and the beach is absolutely stunning—perfect for both snorkeling and relaxing. All the facilities are extremely well-maintained. The village tour and the resort’s activities were so special; they really allowed us to connect with the local people and culture. We had the best four days of our Fiji trip here. We’re so jealous of anyone who gets to visit there in the future!
