  Oneta Resort Review score: 9

  “This intimate but spacious resort is very special. Kandavu and Oneta is beautiful, with immaculate gardens, and the bures and common spaces connected by boardwalks are infused with traditional style and architecture which gave the place a soul, compared to other resorts. The manager Richard and his team are exceptional hosts, with a lot of thought and care put into every detail of the stay from the minute you step off the boat until the moment you leave. There is ample generosity; you have complimentary snacks at the bar, local coconut oil in the Bure, fresh daily baked biscuits, and twice a day your Bure is turned down, with fresh flowers scattered throughout. It feels like a home away from home, where you are welcome to use all the facilities and help yourself to teas, coffee and home baked treats in the main bure. And it is not just the guests that are taken care of, Oneta gives back to local communities and supports initiatives to help the environment and the people living there. Richard is a man of positive energy, attention to detail, stories and affection for Fiji. He dines with guests and it’s a great opportunity to learn about the area and Fijian culture. The main bure is a beautiful grand structure made in the traditional way with polished wood floors, a mix of spacious lounges, all looking out to the beachfront and palm trees where lilos and hammocks hang. It is where all meals are served on the communal table, and the sunset bar opens in the late afternoon to serve cocktails and beer, accompanied by nibbles. The daily excursions are varied and unique to the area, the snorkelling off the reef was the best we saw, plus the manta rays which was a special experience. Other guests did fishing, scuba, waterfall hikes, and a sunset bird tour. There is also excellent masseuses on site. We stayed 3 nights which was not long enough, I would recommend four at a minimum, taking into account getting there takes time.”

  “5 Stars all the way. Do not hesitate booking this gem. If you are looking for a place to relax, connect with the Fijian culture and dive, this is the place for you. The hospitality is out of this world, the staff address you as if you are part of their family, the place is quiet and relaxing, the eco-part of the resort really lives up to its values, and finally the diving has been one of the best spots we’ve ever experienced in the world.”
