Lovely property, nice island getaway
Pros:

Amazing location right on the beach. The island itself is beautiful too and remote / wild with lots of friendly dogs roaming around. Awesome views and nice reef around the whole island. Wifi was fast and good (they just got Starlink so have wifi now), we had the shared bathroom and it was fine. The family have goats & chickens, and we played volleyball with the kids which was fun! Ice cream around the corner (only eat the pineapple one) and Los Tea House just up the beach. The activities are fine. Shark snorkelling was really cool. Overall a nice stay.

Cons:

My only recommendation is the food portions - myself and my partner went hungry a couple of times and due to not being able to get food for ourselves anywhere, this was rough. One plate meals - more fruit would have been nice because there’s an abundance of fruit growing on the island. Probably bring snacks / your own food just in case. Also sometimes we felt like we were bothering the family by just asking questions about the island etc… they didn’t seem too keen to chat with us… but not sure haha

Okey
Pros:

Good food for the money. Working wifi usually till 9pm. Nice walk across the island to the Blue Lagoon. Go try the ice cream nextdoor. Really nice owner. Had different activities but only if there is at least 3 people participating.

Cons:

It is not like some other homestays, where you are part of the family. Hosts very distant, almost no interaction. Really really old beds.

Pros:

Good area. You can walk to the other side of the island, (blue lagoon) about 20min. They have a Tea House and Organic Icecream shop 3 min walk. Portions of food are big and the views by the ocean beautiful. We have a private room by the beach and you can see the ocean through your windows. You can book the cave trip and other activities for good price. Family is honest and helpful. We were invited to a lunch wedding, was really cool.

Cons:

If it’s windy or rainy the wind blows pretty strong and seems the other side of the island is better for swimming and snorkelling. Food could be a bit more varied but overall was good. Cold showers and no bathroom amenities.

Cons:

I thought that it was good value for money. However it shouldn't be advertised as a homestay. It is set up more like a guest house or a inn and the family don't really want to interact with you.

We really loved our stay at sunrise lagoon and would choose to stay here again over any of the pricier resorts!
Pros:

We had an amazing stay at sunrise lagoon. We were greeted with a warm welcome from lice and the local dogs. It was so peaceful, the food was lovely, portions good, accomodation comfortable and wow stunning location! The chance to go on trips was great I recommend the caves and spear fishing. I enjoyed sitting together with the other guests to share meals and stories. You can also explore the island by walking over to blue lagoon for great snorkelling, a cocktail at the resort or nearby Los tea shop and the organic ice cream shop. Great sunrise from the nearby lookouts. It’s a trip I will treasure forever! Thanks jo and lice for your hospitality.

Cons:

Nothing! The facilities basic as expected but just perfect for what you need.

Pros:

Friendly and amazing staff/ family who just enjoy life. Food was great too but sometimes a little repetitive but still amazing. Wifi is free not you should be on your phone though and activities are cheap.

Cons:

Only thing was the facilities one of the toilets didn’t flush but you can expect that on an island in the middle of the pacific.

Pros:

Had the chance to spend 3 days in this little paradise with amazing people. This is the kind of stay which really makes you take a step back and have a proper break. Special mention for the spear fishing activity you can do there and also the shark snorkel.

Paradise!!!
Pros:

Me and 4 others stayed in a private room, right on the beach, where you can hear the waves crashing just outside, it was sooo relaxing. Our room was basic but great for the price and had everything we needed for a chilled and authentic experience.
The homestay was also very well catered to solo travellers as we ate together for all of our meals and built some great relationships with the other travellers.
Food was amazing and super filling, there’s also a shop on the island which was really convenient, and a couple of local places that sell doughnuts and ice cream.
Lithe the homestay owner and her family were so warm and friendly. Lithe especially went the extra mile to make sure we had a lovely stay. She gave us a big hug on departure and waved us off, we were all so sad to leave!!

Cons:

Nothing!

Pros:

Beautiful island. The ocean view from my cabana was incredible. You are falling asleep with sound of the ocean waves and the wind. The family was incredible and I felt like part of the family. We became friends and I will return there next year. Simplicity of the stay was lovely and down to earth. Don't expect the level of resort as it isn't. Place is humble yet so beautiful. My roaming was working well on Vodafone and Digicel, in some parts stronger then others, but still working for the needs I needed. But it's a place to forget of busy life's and all the devices. 25 min across the island you will find blue lagoon and small shop by resort although shop got limited items. Also make sure you take your toiletries as only simple soap provided which was fine with me. You can buy shampoo or other toiletries in the shop I mentioned. Don't forget to visit Lo's bar for lovely lemonade and famous doughnuts- yummy. Near by you can try organic no sugar and no diary banana ice cream. If u can bring the gifts. They say no gifts but as Fijan traditions and a home stay this will bring smile to their faces. I brought the gifts and shared with a family after my lost luggage arrived 3 days after my arrival to the island. They were really happy. I could write an essay how much I loved it there but I will leave it for yourself to visit and decide on your own opinion. Miss them already.

Cons:

N/A - I loved it every single minute.
