Delicious Meals

“The restaurant offered a remarkably varied menu that impressed me with its quality. I particularly enjoyed the fresh produce and the selection of Fijian dishes. The chef even prepared a classic roast Sunday dinner, which catered beautifully to all the guests' tastes. I felt like every meal was a good experience!” view full review

Unique Shower Experience

“I was pleasantly surprised by the outdoor shower in my treehouse bungalow. It was completely different from traditional setups, and I loved the feeling of being immersed in nature. The bathroom fixtures were aesthetically pleasing, with fresh flowers adding a lovely touch, although the toilet situation was unique, it was surprisingly odorless!” view full review

Comfortable Accommodations

“The treehouse bure I stayed in was charming and surprisingly comfortable. It had all the essentials I needed for a cozy stay. I appreciated the spacious layout, and the proximity to the beach made it easy to access beautiful views and the fantastic snorkeling right off the shore.” view full review

Amazing Snorkeling Experience

“The snorkeling right off the beach was truly lovely. I was able to explore vibrant coral reefs and swim alongside colorful tropical fish just steps from my room. I had the opportunity to see so much very nice marine life, making it one of the best underwater experiences I've had in my travels.” view full review

I had high hopes for this resort, but I left feeling let down. While the rooms are comfortable with a lovely setting, the dining was overpriced and lacked quality. I really enjoyed the beautiful location and friendly staff, but the extra charges for everything made it feel like a bit of a money grab.

This resort offers fantastic snorkeling just off the beach, with friendly and engaging staff that made us feel welcomed. The treehouse bure provided a great sense of privacy, but we faced issues with room cleanliness upon arrival, and the dining experience left much to be desired given the price we paid. The locations are stunning, but the tidal limitations on swimming were a bit inconvenient.

I had a fabulous time at the resort! The snorkeling was incredible, and the outdoor shower in our spacious family reef bure was a highlight. However, the dining options could use a bit of improvement, particularly for breakfast, and I noticed a few delays in meal timing. Overall, it was a memorable experience with plenty of opportunities for relaxation and adventure.
