We spent 7 nights at Octopus Resort. I thoroughly enjoyed it though in all honesty, fours nights would have been sufficient. I did really appreciate the free morning and evening yoga class. The ladies in the spa provided excellent massages at a highly affordable price. I would highly recommend them and any of their professional services. The food at Octopus was superb. There were choices given for every meal and they were all delicious. We stayed in a garden bungalow which was very hot to sleep in even with the ceiling fan. The ocean view bungalows had air conditioning which would have made evenings much more tolerable. Also the shared bathrooms in the Garden bungalow’s needed some renovations.
The staff were excellent - friendly, helpful, and so tolerant. I think the world could learn some lessons on getting along and respect from the Fijians. Such a lovely culture.
The coral reef was not the best at Octopus Resort. There were some fish but the reefs only had ~ 40 % coverage for coral. Also there was only one safe channel to get from the beach to snorkel. Getting out to snorkel was easy but there was a significant current to deal with when returning to the beach. If you are not a strong confident swimmer, the return trip to the beach would be very intimidating.
Overall I did enjoy my stay at Octopus Resort and would recommend it for a three or four day stay.
