Byliśmy pod wrażeniem, obsługa starała się spełnić każde życzenie, jedzenie przepyszne i zawsze pięknie podane.
Dla nas były to wspaniałe wakacje, DZIĘKUJEMY wszystkim a w szczególności Sefo i Josh za miły wieczór przy muzyce i kava!!

Pros:

My husband and I had the most wonderful stay here to celebrate our anniversary. Both being vegan it was really important for us that we chose somewhere that would be able to cater for our dietary requirements and Oarsman’s Bay did not disappoint. We had different meals every day and we could tell that a lot of care was taken to ensure that we didn’t miss out. Some of the highlights for us was the beautiful reef just next to the resort that we spent a lot of time snorkelling around, and the views from the hilltop behind the resort when we hiked up for sunrise (definitely need trainers). We stayed in one of the beachfront bures which was comfortable and quiet, and we loved the outdoor shower. To the whole team at Oarsman’s Bay, thank you so much for making our trip so special, we will definitely see you again soon. Sota tale!

Tropical Island Retreat
Pros:

Absolutely idyllic location and beautiful beach. The staff were all amazing, friendly and super talented. The room was big and comfortable and the food was great

Cons:

Only negative was that my Oarsman's Bay Lodge cap (that I bought as a souvenir) flew off into the ocean from the strong wind on the ferry on the way back..

We would recommend this place to everyone
Pros:

We live in Fiji and have visited many resorts and this was, by far, our most favourite stay. The reef on your doorstep is vibrant and healthy, there are many fun activities throughout the day, the food is consistently good and the staff are exceptional.
