S@fe Landing Lodge

The food is very repetitive (always rice). It’s not mandatory but there’s not another place to eat. The meal plan is 10$ for breakfast, 20$ lunch and 25$ dinner

It’s not a resort but the bathrooms could be a little cleaner

Unfortunately, our stay was very disappointing. There were very poor conditions throughout the property: the food was bad and there was often very little of it, the staff were unfriendly and incompetent, and the rooms were uncomfortable. The place was also not clean, and there was no hot water. The activities available were extremely weak and not worth it, and if the weather is bad, there is essentially nothing to do. Overall, this was far below expectations and we would not recommend it.

The food could have been better, but it was fine overall. The bathroom of the dorm could have been cleaner.

It’s a shame to leave such a negative review, but I feel it’s important to share our experience so others know what to expect.

The biggest issue was the behavior of one of the staff members. We witnessed him throwing rocks and coconuts at a calm, harmless dog that was simply wandering around the property. When we asked why he was treating the dog that way, he just laughed. Seeing such blatant animal cruelty was upsetting and completely unacceptable.

The staff also seemed to care far more about money than their guests. There was very little genuine hospitality or human connection. From the moment we arrived, we didn’t feel welcome. In fact, the staff almost seemed disappointed that we had come.

The room itself was very basic and outdated. The foam mattresses were uncomfortable, there was almost no water pressure in the shower, and there wasn’t even a working light in the bathroom.

The food was average at best. Breakfast mainly consisted of cakes and sweet pastries, with very few proper breakfast options.

The activities were okay, but nothing special. The cave tour was definitely not worth the $140 price tag.

La salle de bain n’était pas propre, la douche n’était pas lavée, même après le nettoyage.
Les carreaux des fenêtres étaient cassés, donc le vent passait, ce qui rendait les nuits moins agréables.
Pour les activités, il faut être au minimum 3 pour les faire, ce qui est assez embêtant lorsque l’on est seul ou en couple…
Même si les repas étaient excellents, c’était un peu trop souvent la même assiette, avec du riz tous les jours, et je ne comprends pas pourquoi le prix varie entre le déjeuner et le dîner.

Most of the visitors were happy that were are pets but then we saw them kicking the dogs and the cats. That's unacceptable.

les bungalows mériteraient un rafraichissement mais on ne vient pas ici si l on cherche un grand confort.

La nourriture n’était pas excellente. J’ai conscience que Safe Landing fait parti des hébergements les moins cher des Yasawa, néanmoins la qualité de la nourriture ainsi que la quantité était médiocre. Concernant le personnel, je ne l’ai pas trouvé très accueillant, à l’exception de Jo qui apporte une bonne humeur et un sourire quotidien. J’ai trouvé qu’il manquait beaucoup d’authenticité Fidjienne, un manque de partage entre le personnel et les visiteurs.

Le personnel s’engage sur des activités qui ne font pas derrière

La nourriture avec des quantités insuffisantes en particulier pas de poisson et fruits et légumes limités. Il faut absolument fournir 2 lampes étanches pour la sortie aux caves puisque nous y allons sans guide.

It is a shame that a minimum of three people is required for activities. When you travel as a couple for just a few days, you want to make the most of what the surroundings have to offer. Having to wait for other travelers to sign up for the same excursion is a real constraint. On our first day, we couldn’t do any activities because we were the only ones interested. The next day, we managed to visit the caves, but that left us with only one day to do the Blue Lagoon, which was impossible because once again, we were the only ones... Also, it clearly wasn’t just a matter of fuel cost, as on the very day we arrived, prices increased for that tax (+ $10 per person on activities). Perhaps ask the other home stays to do one boat?

Screens in rooms were busted, so our room was very buggy and fan didnt work.
Food was similar for every dinner, would have enjoyed some variety
