Pros:

A Fijian resort, the warmth of the staff, their overall happiness, just beautiful!
It doesn't have to be perfect to be perfect, provided it is authentic. And that is what it was.
A wonderful stay and experience! Thank you so very much!
Cheers Achim

Teleurstellend verblijf in White Sandy Beach.
Pros:

Ruime hut, nagenoeg op het strand; mooi uitzicht en rustig ook. Mooi snorkelen in de zee voor de deur en ook aan de ander kant van het eilandje, waar je naartoe kan lopen (10 minuten).
Personeel vriendelijk en behulpzaam.

Cons:

Er was gedurende de 3 dagen dat wij er waren, geen stromend water, generator sloeg in de avonduren aan, naast de hut, wat zeer gehorig was. Ongedierte in de kamer.
De omgeving is slecht onderhouden (rotzooi), ook het interieur van de hut en de eetgelegenheid; veel kapot en vies. Veel achterstallig onderhoud.
Er werd door het personeel aangegeven dat zij nog niet zo heel lang open zijn, na de vele jaren sluiting door Covid. Het lijkt mij beter om eerst de boel goed op te knappen, zodat alles functioneert en dan pas weer gasten uitnodigen.

Pros:

Personnel au top, proximité avec les merveilleuses raie manta ( on en a vu 2 grosse ), la nourriture était bonne dans l’ensemble, c’est dommage que le lieu soit un peu laisser, ça pourrais vraiment être un endroit magique

Cons:

La bure est totalement à revoir elle a besoin d’un bon coup de rafraîchissement, salle de bains salle, remonté d’égout, les coussin avais une odeur désagréable
( pensée à prévoir vos équipements)

Pros:

Bures are located right across the beach, beautiful house corals and swimming just off the beach. The staff is very friendly and makes you feel like family

Cons:

Water pressure is a bit of the problem with water not available for showers many times throughout the day. Electricity is only 4hrs a day

A slice of true Fijian paradise!
Pros:

We just spent six nights at White Sandy Beach, and wish we were able to stay longer. Welcoming and lovely staff made our family feel at home. Wonderful beachfront bure with direct access to the beach and reef, great shade and lots of facilities and activities for the adults and kids. Daily coconuts for all was a lovely bonus!

Lovely place to stay but improvements to the property and service would make it wonderful.
Pros:

The location was great - right on the beach with a reef for snorkelling on your door step. Staff are super friendly and lovely to guests.

Cons:

The place is a bit rundown and needs better food. The snorkeling gear needs some new purchases as many of the masks are in disrepair.

Superb
Pros:

The people are fantastic and a joy to know. They were very accommodating, always happy, helpful and fun to hang out with at the end of the day. There is no TV and the electricity goes off at 9. But we werre usually exhausted after a day swimming, snorkelling or hiking and ready for bed at 7 most nights. Hearing them sing and interacting with their families was as much a highlight as swimming with tens of thousands of colorful fish and being overwhelmed with the sheer scale of the barrier reef

Cons:

Dont kid yourself, this is a homestay and is very basic. If you expect a white glove service then this is not for you. The food varied between awesome and very bland and rather starchy. Though the portions were more than adequate. But if you want to experience the people and culture of the real Fiji then this was an awesome few days.

Exceptional
Pros:

Loved my time at White Sandy Beaches. The staff were lovely people and the hut was on the beach facing the sea. The coral started 15 metres into the bay, like fliving a natural history documentary. Idyllic. Sure, there was only power for 3 hours in the evening and no AC but this helped to really switch off and slow down to match the pace of the island. I would go back there again

Perfect
Pros:

Amazing location. Great beach and reef. Wonderful walks to secluded beaches. Great food. Awesome friendly staff. Very simple living, no bells and whistles. Expert Manta Ray guides. Loved the trip to church. No mozzies in late June. Perfect place to switch off and unwind. Not 5 star, but we found it perfect.

Cons:

Should have stayed longer.

Best place ever 😁
Pros:

The place is stunning and the girls on charge are the best. We had so much fun, they always offer activities and the food was amazing.
There’s a really cool and beautiful beach to hang out just 10 minutes walking from there.

Cons:

The water was slow to come to our room, sometimes we had none but it is expected in this type of place. They gave us a bucket which immediately solved the problem. :)

Great memories at white sandy beach and loved the family aspect. The food provided on the meal plan ($60) was ample and
Pros:

Beautiful location!! Saw incredible view of the ocean during sunset.
This is basic accomodation, more like a home stay and it is good value for money compared to other more expensive accomodation options

Make sure you have cash to pay for accomodation at activities
Otherwise can use world remit app to pay. Super easy for Australians to set up, harder for the Italian couple who was there at the same time as us
Boat transfer is an extra 30pp

Highlight of the trip was seeing manta rays!! It was $100pp and the guides were great at maximising how many we saw. They will only take you out if they have been spotted the day prior. In the weeks before us they hadn’t seen any for a while

Electricity available 6-10pm and you can charge your phone at this time in the dining area
Drinking water available when having meals can ask to fill up bottle

Cons:

Very low pressure shower but it’s enough to rinse off
There were wasps in windows of the room but they never bothered us

A must stay in Fiji!
Pros:

If you haven’t had a guesthouse experience in Fiji, you have to stay here! Mela and Lela are super kind hosts, that will cook the most delicious food and even take you to play volleyball by the beach! One of my best stays in Fiji, totally recommend!

Pure, remote, friendly Fiji.
Pros:

Warm welcoming friendly people, Kaisia, Mita, Bruce and the team. They went well over and above what anyone could expect as they are still recovering from devastation of Covid. Room was huge with large terrace and internal bathroom. Expect limited power and no shop as you are on remote island with limited facilities which was more than made up by willingness of staff. Many many thanks.

Cons:

Leaving it and saying goodbye.
