Beautiful and comfortable
Pros:

We loved our stay at Sunrise Lagoon! Lice and the Family were very kind and helpful. The activities were cool and included shark snorkelling, a trip to the Sawai-i-Lau caves, spear fishing or normal fishing, a massage and a school visit. Although we only did the caves and the shark snorkelling, we highly recommend it. Also, you could walk to the blue lagoon in about 20-30 minutes and have really lovely views along the way. The rooms were really nice and clean and at night there was always a cooling breeze coming through the window! Making it live up to its name was the sunrise above the ocean every morning which was great to watch. Breakfast Lunch and Dinner was always at 8am, about 1pm and 7pm and was always very yummy! Of course it is a homestay after all and an Island in the middle of the ocean, so cell reception was limited which wasn’t horrible for us to go without our phones for a while. The power was on all day but out at night, lights were on throughout the night to the toilets and also optional in our dorm room though. But there was still plenty of space left in the day to charge all our electricals.

Cons:

Nothing! Thank you again for everything :) we’d love to come again someday.

Such a lovely part of the world
Pros:

Wow where do I begin, from start to finish this stay was magical. Bags were carried to the room, accommodating to our big group (there was 8 of us).
Our host lithe was very friendly and welcoming, she really made us feel part of the family and safe at her home. The home cooked meals were delicious and never disappointing. There was also coffee and tea offered to us throughout the day.

There were daily activities available for an extra cost but it was reasonably priced. This included snorkelling with reef sharks, visiting the caves, fishing, fire dancing and lots more. They also invited us to play volleyball with the family.

Cons:

The facilities were basic, be prepared to live the island life. Make sure the bring towels and body wash etc.

Loved the experience. Very relaxing being away from city life!
Pros:

Beautiful location and homestay experience
Food was great, vegetarian and fish. Lovely family and great island experience. So nice to see the children enjoying the water, fishing and relaxing on the island. 30 min walk to blue lagoon with crystal clear water. We were the only people there for 2 hours. Many activities to do if you are keen and the family will take you. We got very sunburnt the first day unfortunately so the fresh aloe Vera was great! We were in the ocean view buree which was nice for the evening breeze. Homemade ice creams and doughnuts a short walk down the beach.

Cons:

It was tricky to find our way on the path so a small sign would help when you are hot

Beautiful stay with lovely host family!
Pros:

A wonderful stay with delightful hosts! Lice, Jo, and their big, beautiful family were so welcoming and hospitable. Our stay met and exceeded our expectations. The room and ensuite bathroom were simple and rustic just as advertised, but totally functional. We were blessed with beautiful sunsets and ocean sounds to lull us to sleep. Activities are reasonably priced, too. Make sure to bring sufficient cash to maximize activities! If you need cash in a pinch, there is a trail across the island to Nanuya Island Resort, and a shop where you can cash out (maximum $150 FJD). We went snorkeling and hand line fishing with Jo, who was very helpful (especially during fishing) and we did actually catch some fish! Meals are simple but delicious and usually include fresh pineapple and breadfruit (and will include the fish you catch if you go fishing). I recommend walking around the island during the day to meet the other homestay hosts and guests—the people are truly delightful! We played cards with the kids and chatted for hours with other hosts and guests. Lovely time with some lovely people. For those considering staying here, I couldn't recommend it enough: just remember that IT IS NOT A RESORT so don't expect it to be.

Cons:

All my clothes are sandy now :(

Pros:

Don’t mistake Lice’s straight-to-the-point attitude as lack of friendliness - she is very caring and helpful and her island food is fantastic!
It’s the best place for an authentic experience of the local lifestyle, beautiful coral snorkeling, and remote work with very decent reception with Digicel.

Pros:

Eine wirklich außergewöhnliche Erfahrung. Wer Fidschi und seine Kultur kennenlernen möchte, sollte auf jeden Fall in Homestays wie diesen übernachten.
