Very nice place but not as scenic as some of the other beaches on Malolo, or the surrounding islands. The beach was ok, but not great.

Located right on the beach so it was nice to go to sleep and wake up to the sounds of crashing waves. The price included breakfast, lunch and dinner, but drinks were extra.

I'm a surfer so can put up with almost anything. The facilities are getting dated and the room was located at the top of a hill. You had to walk 300m from the main reception along a narrow path and vertical stairs. There is only one 9-seater boat so you are literally stuck on Malolo at the mercy of management and the boat driver. If they have staff errands to run or other guests on activities, you are stuck. Every little boat ride costs you between $60-$100FJD. It is easily 1 hour back to Denarau or Anchorage. No protection on the boat if its stormy and lots of chop. Booking counter #14 does not exist at Denarau Maria. Go to the Beachcomber counter (their partner opposite Cloud 9 counter) instead. I lost 30 mins trying to find it and almost missed the once-a-day transfer to Malolo. They Maloto Cat goes 4 times a day to Musket Cove for the same price. Then it's just a quick 10 minute boat to Funky Fish. This means you don't lose a day on the mainland to meet flight schedules.

I'm glad I booked a room with aircon and a hot shower. The food provided was very good, although on a 3-day revolving, fixed menu. It rained hard at night and the kitchen staff wrapped and delivered my dinner to my room saving me from getting drenched. The pool was small but clean and refreshing.

The location is very isolated so you're very dependent on water taxi availability

The resort is great for a solo or budget traveller who's looking for a low key break in Malolo. The food was delicious, the staff extremely friendly and the accommodation very basic and quaint.

It was sometimes difficult to arrange stuff (rental of surfboards, boat to surf spot). On the other hand, they handled to get us a late afternoon transport for reasonable price to our next resort.

Close to surfing spots, good value for money, nice food, friendly staff and good facilities. Very relaxed place!

Nothing. I loved it.

Deconstructed, simple and functional.

Stayed in January 2024

Breakfast was bad, very quiet and boring. Not a lot of the activities on the website were there and there was not much to do. Not a lot of opportunity for guests to interact.

Bures were nice, rooms were big enough with a large shower. Beach and pool were nice with free water sports. Lunch and dinner were good but breakfast was sad.

Not the spot to stay if you're looking for an awesome beach out the front

Food is great. Fun vibe for solo or young travellers.

Not much to do here

Perfect for surfing

free activities like SUP or kayaking not available due to broken or lost paddles. the pool was in poor condition and needed a good clean.

the location is fantastic for getting to surf breaks. The food appears to have improved from previous reviews as it was quite good. the grounds people were fantastic and always helpful.

Rooms are a bit old. They could add some paddle boards, kayaks, newer surfboards for rent.

Amazing location just 30min boat ride to the surf. The food was very good and the staff was lovely. Tumeli, the manager, is super helpful and tried to accommodate all the guests needs. The price is very good compared to the surrounding options.

Bugs, slow reception but efficient, generator noise in first room (5), tidal water no snorkeling, water $8 FJD/LT is robbery as it is $3 FJD max on mainland.

Amazing location, friendly staff (Thank you Mari!) and good food. Bures are very basic but right on the beach, which is very tidal and not for snorkeling but you can paddleboard or kayak free. Location is short boat ride from Musket Cove accessible from mainland with ferry. Pool and relaxing area is good, bar is full service. Everyone sharing meals in dining area it's easy to get to know other travellers. Great atmosphere! Wifi in reception only. Very, very buggy (mosquitoes and sandflies) but rooms have screens-just bring lots of repellent. No aircon but not needed as fans and windows were perfect. I would not stay in new building at the top. Generator went out for the day-but they got it sorted by dinner This is an island! Lots of day trips (recommend Cloud9) for surf too.

Can’t think of anything

Very relaxed and relaxing - extremely good value, staff and fellow guests really made this a great choice. It’s very basic but it’s Fiji - what more do you need other than sun, sand and good company?

The food could have been better. It was full board and was adequate but could have been better.

Location was perfect for what I was doing.

The staff are all incredibly warm and friendly and the whole place is a really fun, chilled vibe.

Bit pricey to go anywhere on a boat and not much to do on island (unless you’re a surfer)

Best value for money in Fiji, don’t expect luxury though. Food fantastic and staff brilliant.

The facilities need updating.

The staff was amazing and friendly. Food was great. Cool to the surf breaks.

Great cheap way to be amongst the more expensive areas, but for cheap, and the food included is great value and quality. The boat trips add up at 99Fijian a trip but worth it

The room was way too small. No where to put our luggage . No storage space. It was windy when we stayed and the wind felt like it came though the hut and felt like a fan on full speed. Be careful not to lock yourself out of the bathroom. They don't have spare keys 😅. The property is tucked in a cove which felt cold alot of the time. We ended up taking a boat to castaway which was amazing for snorkeling and chilling at the beach. No wifi in the room. You have to sit in the communal area for that.

Food was good. They upgraded our fridge mid stay.there is a hike to a look out point behind the resort. Organizing day trips are easy with reception. Staff were friendly. Henry was always trying to make us comfortable and always kind. They have nice big lounging sunbeds by the pool.

Could do with sun loungers around the pool

Great staff, wonderful meals, good vive

Ultimately wasn’t as advertised and what we got was different to all the things promised on their website - parts were run down (like pool, rooms) and the wifi barely works. This also applies to the food menu, as it’s not three courses and there is no morning or afternoon tea and unfortunately as a vegan the “options” were not adequate (despite staff being lovely and taking requests). I imagine much of this is due to COVID but prices or website needs to be updated to the new reality - it’s still a great place to stay on a budget

Staff were lovely, shared area was great, and good proximity to surf spots.

Bed bugs were horrible.

Excellent food and lovely staff.

one staff member was inappropriate with me towards the end of the stay. beachfront property does not offer a secure room for solo traveller. felt unsafe. open air shower, which is fine but anyone can access your room. also I felt I was bothering sone of the staff when asking for something. which should not be when your paying to stay there. that I didn’t like.

meet like minded travellers, beachfront, great staff.
