Pros:

The lady staffs were really nice

Cons:

I’m a happy customer overall, but I’ve had some bad experiences here, and this is the first time I’ve ever felt the need to leave a review like this.

1. A staff member opened my room door at 1 a.m.

One night, a male staff member (a Fijian guy) opened the door to my dorm room at around 1 a.m. I was the only person staying in the room at the time, so it was absolutely terrifying.

The next day, I complained to another staff member. He explained that the man was a security guard who had heard screaming from my room and came to check on me. However, I found the situation very frightening, especially because no one had explained anything to me at the time. I believe staff should handle situations like this in a way that makes guests feel safe rather than scared.

2. Inappropriate conversations with staff

Another male staff member talked to me about his sexual relationships over the past ten years, including relationships with both local women and tourists. I found this conversation inappropriate and uncomfortable, especially given that I was a guest staying at the property.

After the incident in the middle of the night, this made me feel even more uncomfortable and unsafe at the accommodation.

3. Manta ray snorkeling tour

I also had a concerning experience during the manta ray snorkeling tour. At one point, the guide disappeared while six guests were snorkeling, and we ended up searching for him in the ocean.

Later, he told us that we should have been snorkeling near the coral garden. However, I couldn’t find him on the boat or in the water. It turned out that he was on a nearby island taking care of his own personal business.

I found this extremely concerning because a snorkeling guide should be responsible for the safety of the guests, especially when we are out in the ocean.

I understand that unexpected situations can happen, and I have generally enjoyed my stay.

Beautiful location, traditional resort perfect for relaxing, and with great snorkelling.
Pros:

Location amazing - healthy reef straight out front, with turtles, eagle rays and wide variety of reef fish.
Comfortable, traditional rooms and nice gardens.
Friendly staff (mostly).

Cons:

Food - very high prices for not great quality. Appreciate the remote Islands and limited choice but price an issue.
Some staff a bit grumpy/disengaged.
Very windy while there and no customer service encouraging options to go to sheltered areas.

amazing snorkelling, people and location.
Pros:

Super Friendly staff and great location right next to the beach - felt like an authentic experience. The reef off the resort was some of the best snorkelling we did around the island. Beautiful white sandy beach a short walk away (Coconut Beach) which also offers amazing snorkelling. The beach out the front also had some sand. Sunset walk behind the resort was also great. You can get a water taxi to surrounding islands which was a nice option. The room was basic but had all you needed. Pictured is sunset hill and the beach a short walk from the resort.

Cons:

Food was alright but considering you are on an island in the middle of nowhere it’s pretty good. Toilet joining the room meant the room was slightly smelly at times but had windows for ventilation.

Okey
Pros:

Nice but little neglected. Nice huge hostel room with enough bathrooms. Kind staff. Nice walk to the viewpoint and to the beach close to the second resort on the island.

Cons:

No beach in front of the resort. Food a kittle overpriced for what you get. Highest surcharge for card payment out of all of the islands.

Exceeded every expectation for an excellent price!
Pros:

Exceeded every expectation for an excellent price! The grounds were beautiful and well kept, and our cabin was spacious and comfortable with a gorgeous view. The coral in front of the resort was spectacular; we counted 250 species of fish and saw giant clams, a shark, Eagle rays, sting rays, eels and sea snakes, and loads of other marine life snorkeling daily. There’s also free kayaks to borrow and ample walks around the island. Toki was fabulous; he took us on amazing outings to nearby caves and exceptional reefs, and taught us about coconut and kava. The staff were the absolute best; the cleaning team (including Tetha!) were so fun; the service so friendly; and the kitchen staff produced absolutely delicious vegetarian and traditional dishes (you will not go hungry). Aliki even made me a special blue margarita. Everyone was so joyful and filled the resort with happiness and song. I just can’t say enough good things about Coral view. Stay here!

Cons:

Cold water showers and cold ocean waters left us chilly at times but a very small price to pay for absolute paradise. Plus the cold water is good for the reef so next time I would consider bringing a wetsuit to maximize underwater time. Also we would encourage guests to avoid feeding the fish as it is harmful to the marine environment.

Pros:

Very nice little island!
Most of the staff were very friendly and accommodating.
The room was clean and they offered to clean it daily.

Cons:

The food was a huge miss for a vegetarian, no protein at all. I had mentioned my diet multiple times and I still got served meat three times.
Usually I waited for my plate 30-40min.

Pros:

Good snorkelling and comfortable villa. Good value for the accommodation but meals are extra

Cons:

We didn't realise that there was no hot water which was a bit cool in winter but managed ok. Meals which cost extra were average and smallish portions.

Super si on oubli la nourriture qui est beaucoup trop cher pour ce que c’est !
Pros:

Le logement est super, l’équipe est très aimable et accueillante, et une magnifique plage est à 10minutes de marche

Cons:

Le rapport qualité pour le repas est catastrophique! Nous avons payer 3fois plus cher dans cet hôtel que dans le précédent, pour de la nourriture moins bonne. C’est très décevant. Et il y’a aussi beaucoup de recyclage de dessert (même gâteau servi 3fois)

Potenziale non sfruttato, da segnalare in anticipo l’assenza dell’acqua calda
Pros:

Ls posizione della struttura è ottima, ci sono 2 punti snorkeling molto belli. Anche l’area comune è carina e c’è un ampio giardino. Lo staff è molto disponibile.

Cons:

La nostra camera non era molto curata, umida con un bagno decisamente da ristrutturare a prescindere dall’assenza dell’acqua calda (non segnalata)

Amazing week spent on a beautiful island, in a great resort that has all essentials.
Pros:

Everyone was very friendly. The resort has nice common areas and lots of activities to do. We stayed 1 week and never got bored, had enough time to do snorkeling, cave trip, walk, etc. but also time to relax and meet new people. Thank you to Charlotte, Toki and all the team for making us feel welcomed.

Cons:

I wish there was hot water in the shower, especially if I had to stay longer than a week.
Sometimes felt like restaurant service could have been improved and be a little bit faster - but also part of relaxing, taking time and experiencing Fiji time I guess.

A peaceful paradise
Pros:

A comfortable, calm and beautiful place to relax with an incredible coral reef right out the front. Also good options for excursions to other stunning places. I loved my little stone bure. Meals were well organised and varied. Toki and Lottie and all the staff were kind and welcoming in every way. Mostly I loved true laid back vibe here.

Cons:

Cold showers didn’t really bother me but something to be aware of.

Pros:

Das Personal ist super freundlich und bemüht, das Essen ist gut, die Betten im Schlafsaal sehr bequem. Das Korallenriff rechts vom Resort ist super und leicht zu erreichen.
Die angebotenen Aktivitäten sind sehr vielfältig, besonders haben mir die Höhlentour und das Reef Hopping gefallen.
