Probably the best out of the 5 resorts we have been to. About 1 km beach to go for a walk. Owned by 2 New Zealanders, I think the locals get payed around $2.5 per hour, or was that per day? and they say they are the lucky ones compared to the other villagers on the island. Pretty good snorkeling right of the beach, thought we did not go to Barefoot and Manta ray resorts to be able to compare, they are supposed to be good also. Compulsory meal plan at $100 per person but the food was really good. Nice fresh water pool (a little chilly), decking and bar area, and beach volleyball all in one place. If you take 2 hour $40 snorkeling trip you should know that most of the time will be spent looking at the poor village school, some crafts, in transit, and only about 25 minutes snorkeling. Snorkeling is ok but right in front of the resort is better! If half of the $40 was donated to the school i would have been ok with it. No infant life vests. The staff helped us buy and deliver baby food from the mainland, but in hindsight we should have brought our own from Australia because the infant did not take to the local food. Not bad value for Fiji, but for this kind of money you would live like a king in Asia (Thailand, Vietnam, etc) and see more culture and natural environment too.

Our overall experience was disappointing, mainly due to the poor value for money. While the resort is advertised as five-star, we would rate it a three-star at best. Perhaps we visited at the wrong time, but it did not live up to our expectations. Pros: The staff were friendly and welcoming. The location is right on the ocean, offering a quiet and relaxing atmosphere. Dinners were consistently delicious. Cons: The beds were extremely uncomfortable. Neither my partner nor I managed to get a proper night's sleep during our stay. At $500 AUD per night, we expected at least a decent level of comfort. Breakfast and lunch were disappointing—bland and uninspired. We were hoping for more authentic Fijian cuisine rather than basic Western dishes. Due to the weather, all the activities we had planned were canceled, including snorkeling and swimming. While this is not the resort’s fault, it left us with very little to do, which became frustrating. The boat transfer was overpriced ($199 FJD per person, one way) and uncomfortable. It’s a small, rocky boat—definitely not ideal for those with a sensitive stomach. Booking the ferry independently would be a much better and cheaper option. Final Verdict While the location and staff were great, the overall experience didn’t meet our expectations for the price. If you’re looking for a peaceful, off-the-grid escape and don’t mind limited activities, this could be a good option. However, if you expect true five-star comfort and service, you might want to explore other alternatives.
