Cons:

A reggeliért hiába volt kifizetve, ki kellett fizetni. A szoba foglalási árban benne volt a reggeli, de ezért csak olyan ételt kaptunk amit a gyerekek esznek meg esetleg. Rizskása, pirítós lekvárral, zsabkasa, néhány gyümölcs. Tehát ez nem felnőtteknek való reggeli. Ezért azt külön meg kellett venni..

Small resort vibes!
Pros:

Amazing area to be on the island, away from the everywhere but the waves. The access to kayaks were great (even if needed more paddles than available) the staff were amazing.

Cons:

Snorkels didn’t work properly and there weren’t enough for amount of guests wanting them. So if you have your own bring them.
There were very limited options for dinner and quality did let the resort down (especially the prices- which we had to pay as there were no other restaurants). They could have maybe offered some of lunch menu options for dinner. Some small changes would go a long way especially within the grounds.

Pros:

The retreat was stunning with beautiful seaviews. Our deluxe bura was clean and had an outside shower which was a gem. The restaurant food was delicious however there were no other choices so full board might be a good idea.

Cons:

The activities were not well encouraged or adhere to so don't put hopes up. Also make sure to ask for rods on fishing trip.

I enjoyed most of my stay here, but have mixed feelings about the resort. This resort has been around for a while, and i
Pros:

The views. The peace. The staff made an effort to cook my food gluten free . The fact that the resort is run by the village next door, and supporting local families

Cons:

I’ve had the misfortune to be double charged for my stay here. I’ve rung the staff from my home country, and they are looking into sorting it out. This was after me turning up after a 2 1/4 hr drive from Nadi, to discover that they had lost my initial booking. They have a policy of bringing no outside food and drinks in, which I haven’t run into before. Being gluten free, I like to have a little “stash” of things I can eat as I’m aware not everyone caters for gluten free. It worked out ok in the end.

Little hidden Paradise
Pros:

We went to Crusoe off season - so not a lot of people were there and it made it even more comfortable. They were very welcoming and even though it was quiet, there was a different program every single day (special shoutout to JJ- he was amazing). From Tours of their village to Table tournaments in the evening, you would feel very comfortable at all times.
The menu (lunch as well as dinner) was coming in big portions and was absolutely delicious.
Great Experience and is definitely worth it!
Would only recommend it!

Cons:

The location is far away from everything. From the airport in Nadi it’s roughly 2 and a half hours. If you want to do any tours you would need to get to Nadi first. The hotel suggests a taxi for 230 dollars, which can become quite expensive if you are there for a longer time and want to see something else. There is no supermarket nearby and the bus stop is 4 kilometers away.

Cons:

Kept awake my first night from people opening my window louvers from outside my bure and banging on the walls. Horrible situation to be in informed resort staff only to be told it is locals and not to worry. The following day I informed I would be checking out due to the fact I felt my belongings were not safe in my room due too "locals" opening them all night and looking in. I had 3 more night booked with the resort and was told that if I checked out I would not get any compensation or refund. I continued to check out anyway and rebooked with another resort. Best decision ever!

Bello, ma molto caro perché isolato.
Pros:

É una Bella struttura immersa nella natura. Ha un potenziale ma è anche sfruttato male. Giardino Bellissimo. I buca da 19 al 25 sono vecchi e spartani. Le Villas sono molto belle ma serve qualche attenzione ai dettagli tipo la muffa nel soffitto della doccia.

Cons:

1º La colazione NON è continentale se non ci sono uova o alternativa salata. 4 vassoi di frutta, 2 vassoi di pane per toast, un solo gusto di marmellata (albicocca per 8gg) … Non fanno una colazione continentale. Inoltre mai vista una struttura ricettiva senza l’acqua sul buffet colazione.
2ºUna bottiglia d’acqua da 1,5L a 10$Fj dice tutto. Tutto molto caro sfruttando il totale isolamento. 4km di sterrato dalla strada principale. Senza auto si è costretti a pagare tutto molto caro ed amaro. Un tour quad di 2,5hrs 347$Fj … manco ad Aruba é così caro!!! Tutte queste osservazioni hanno abbassato di molto i voti alla struttura che è “accogliente” solo per i sorrisi del personale locale.
