Limited shade or umbrellas by the pool. As a result we didn't get to use the pool much at all.

Variety of food was good

A few cons - Kayaking area was limited to the resort beach so unable to go around the island. - Bed was not particularly comfortable (soft but worn and not especially supportive). Pillows were average. - The small fridge in our room was old and very loud, so had to turn it off overnight to sleep. - Wifi access had to be paid for (and was expensive) - however, we didn't purchase any and I would highly recommend disconnecting from internet for your stay, if you can! - Food was on the average side (by Aussie foodie standards), considering the prices - but understandable considering the exclusive resort location. The better meals at their main restaurant were from the 'Kura' asian menu. We skipped lunch most days after a big breakfast and some snacks. We ate a couple of dinners at the backpackers further on south beach, which were better value. (We did have a lovely 'fine dining' meal at their fancy restaurant, which was delicious but probably more expensive as a high quality meal in Aus) - Drinks we're about 1.5 - 2x the price as in Denarau restaurants and 2-3x price of the Denarau supermarket so we bought our own beer to drink in the room. No need to bring water though, the tap water was drinkable and tasty!

Wonderful location on a beautiful island, with access to two stunning beaches (north and south). Excellent pool area. Lovely gardens, and our garden view bure was nicely spaced and private from others. Lovely open-air shower space (private). Good quality, free to use snorkelling equipment and sea kayaks. Decent snorkelling views directly from both beaches. Everyone was friendly, staff always smiling, service was relaxed and good. Room tidied daily. Yes, it's a bit old and tired in appearances (particularly compared to newer, fancy resorts), but in our opinion it added to the rustic charm. It's the most expensive place we've stayed (we're used to backpackers), but it's the cheaper side of 'resort' accommodation, and reasonable value for being able to access a jewel of the Mamanuca Islands! We still thought it luxurious, but it's hard not to feel like you're in paradise here. Appeared very family friendly, with plenty of activities, and access to games, and day trips (e.g. local island visits, fishing). We found ourselves pleasantly occupied with relaxing between pool, beach and room. The only outting we did was a handline fishing trip (be warned, fishing is not great in the area, despite the beautiful fish around the reefs). Overall, the biggest drawcard is the location and natural surrounds - would recommend for anyone wanting to stay on the island in a comfortable, affordable accommodation, but who are not necessarily looking for a lavish, luxurious resort experience. Recommend to stay 5-8 days for a decent relax. Come with the right expectations and you'll be pleasantly surprised!

A little bit of confusion when we arrived and they’d booked us into the wrong room type but offered us an upgrade instead and were very accommodating

Lovely friendly staff, great resort which covers both sides of the island, which is handy when it’s windy on one side. Good food and big comfy rooms. Would definitely stay again

The breakfast was great selection. Pool was lovely and the spa was wonderful.

Check in was very slow Buffet dinner very expensive, but options to eat in other restaurant Bottled water expensive compared to other islands Would be good to have a few more sunbeds on beach and seats near pool for the evening

Beautiful views and location Great lookout short walk away Very big bedroom and bathroom Big comfy bed Nice balcony, kettle in room Breakfast was great Staff very friendly. Nice ambience Great to have activities like yoga and kayaks included

more variety in dining would be good

the location is exceptional, and the weather was almost perfect. The staff, as always are lovely. The snorkelling from the beach is fabulous and wonder coral can be found

Room was very dated and needs upgrading. Only one plug point and dim lighting. Curtains tatty. Outside shower/tap to wash off sandy feet would be good.

Beautiful location right on the beach. Fabulous diving spot. Awesome staff always so smiling and helpful. Lovely pool area and restaurant 👌 good breakfast buffet, nicely set up and organized. Comfortable bed, and air-conditioned rooms.

Understand everyone is trying to get back up and going after COVID. Not only operations, but also training of staff. Which takes time. If there is one comment it is, the staff need to have more confidence and clearer communication when talking to holidaymakers.

Breakfast was good. The North and South beaches also were amazing. And the outdoor shower was the bees knees.

Gift shop/store needed to be better stocked as they ran out of things quicky, and staff could never tell when supplies were coming Also the rooms/garden bures, only had single beds. Not great for couples!

Staff so friendly and happy to help with anything! Amazing location, massive proper island resort. Highly recommend

once in a lifetime experience

Stayed in August 2022

Very dated communal facilities. The main dining hall and pool area needs a serious refurb, as well as the bathroom in our oceanfront Bure (Although it was passable). Dinners were monotonous and tasted the same after several nights. Not very fresh tasting (heavy/carby) and overpriced for what you get. We went for the a la carte menus as better value compared to the buffet. Bottled water is very expensive.

Amazing location.. perfect beaches and snorkelling. When it got windy on north beach, simply move to south beach! very spacious.. although there were lots of people at the resort, we could relax on the beachfront with a lot of space to ourselves. Friendly and attentive staff, good breakfasts. Good value babysitters. An ideal family friendly low key resort. i had a massage at the spa and that was amazing (although a bit pricey).

No pay as you go option which we’d have preferred. The beaches out of the resort area need a decent clean up of rubbish every now and then.

The breakfast is worth the cost as it’s a buffet with tonnes of varieties to choose from. Staff very friendly. Clean. Plenty of things to do. There are other restaurants and cafes around the resort. You can walk, snorkel, kayak or paddle board the whole island. There is a viewpoint walk. Daily activities. A decent gym. Tennis courts and equipment.
