Recomendable auténtica experiencia Fijiana
Pros:

Personal super amable y dispuesto para brindar una buena experiencia.
Excelente comida, variada, abundante, bien condimentada.
En general buena gestión de actividades.
En la mayoría de las comidas hay música local en vivo.
Muy buena experiencia auténtica de Fiji, compartiendo con gente local de la isla.

Cons:

En nuestra habitación no había agua caliente, aunque no estaba aclarado en las condiciones.
El personal nos brindó agua caliente en termos para una ducha cálida.

Inoubliable
Pros:

C’était parfait !
On ne vient pas sur cette toute petite île pour trouver des supers équipements ou du confort, on y vient pour le charme et la chaleur humaine, et là on trouve….!😍

Pros:

The staff are wonderful- friendly and helpful.
Food was good, served buffet style with a range of choices. Afternoon tea was always welcome.
Our original bure had a problem with no hot water, but the owner organised a different bure for us as quickly as possible. Like other locally owned resorts that we visited, this resort is trying hard to recover from the Covid lockdowns, and bures are a bit tired: nevertheless they are comfortable, which is the most important thing, and the owner is very focused on ensuring that guests are looked after.

Pros:

Really enjoyed my stay here. The scenery is unmatched and they had an amazing array of activities to choose from. Would definitely recommend the hike to the top of the island. The staff were very friendly, kind and welcoming. The dinners were delicious and were a great time to sit down and chat with others there, it felt like a family dinner. The Wayalailai family made my stay feel super special, will definitely be returning! Vinaka vakalevu

Absolutely beautiful
Pros:

The location is absolutely beautiful. Our favorite bures of our stays in the Yasawas. They are minimal, but everything you need to escape reality for a few days. The food was fantastic and always on time. We loved hanging out on the hammocks and listening to the staff play music/sing during meals and arrivals.

Cons:

Very limited water and few free activities - basically all excursions, even the hilltop hike, cost extra.

Merci Waya Lailai !
Pros:

Le cadre très sympa ainsi que les petites maisons dans lesquelles on dort. Le personnel est accueillant, disponible et souriant. La nourriture est très bonne et en quantité. Concernant les activités proposées, je n’ai fait que du snorkeling avec les requins, et ça s’est très bien passé, en petit groupe rendant l’expérience plus agréable.

Cons:

C’est indépendant du resort mais la plage n’est pas la plus idéale pour faire du snorkeling, néanmoins parfaite pour se baigner :)

Everything’s is fiji time -> amazing!
Pros:

Nous avons étaient super bien accueillis. À peine arrivée on a l’impression d’être à la maison, faire partis de la communauté. Les voyageurs avec qui nous étions à permis à renforcer ce sentiments, c’était 4jours hors du temps. Merci à toutes l’équipe de prendre soins de nous. La nourriture était excellente (buffet) et plusieurs activités sont proposées.

Nice Bungalows in beautiful location
Pros:

The surroundings and location are great, the staff were nice too.

Cons:

The tours they offer were not the most reliable and communication could have been better, especially when it comes to cancelling the sunrise hike last minute.
We really enjoyed the stay overall though.

Good value, love it overall. hope the facilities can be upgraded a little bit for comfortability.
Pros:

All meals were well prepared and served, enough with no waste. Local materials and traditionally cooked. Good vibe for social connection.

Cons:

limited water, electricity and Wi-Fi, feel a bit inconvenient. Room is old and not bright enough. less free activities provided as expected.

Great for those looking for authentic, rustic vibe for a few nights.
Pros:

Unpretentious, rustic ‘summer camp’ vibe; authentic, community-owned property, loved manager Tailo. Great hike to the peak (requires sturdy footwear with good grippy sole) for a fabulous view. Good snorkelling off the beach.

Cons:

Unreliable (and not potable) water, limited electricity and little to no internet (be prepared for digital detox); bures in need of a little love, due to property maintenance suffering greatly as a result of pandemic.
