Pros:

My husband and I had the most wonderful stay here to celebrate our anniversary. Both being vegan it was really important for us that we chose somewhere that would be able to cater for our dietary requirements and Oarsman’s Bay did not disappoint. We had different meals every day and we could tell that a lot of care was taken to ensure that we didn’t miss out. Some of the highlights for us was the beautiful reef just next to the resort that we spent a lot of time snorkelling around, and the views from the hilltop behind the resort when we hiked up for sunrise (definitely need trainers). We stayed in one of the beachfront bures which was comfortable and quiet, and we loved the outdoor shower. To the whole team at Oarsman’s Bay, thank you so much for making our trip so special, we will definitely see you again soon. Sota tale!

Tropical Island Retreat
Pros:

Absolutely idyllic location and beautiful beach. The staff were all amazing, friendly and super talented. The room was big and comfortable and the food was great

Cons:

Only negative was that my Oarsman's Bay Lodge cap (that I bought as a souvenir) flew off into the ocean from the strong wind on the ferry on the way back..

We would recommend this place to everyone
Pros:

We live in Fiji and have visited many resorts and this was, by far, our most favourite stay. The reef on your doorstep is vibrant and healthy, there are many fun activities throughout the day, the food is consistently good and the staff are exceptional.

Genuine Fiji and an heavenly escape
Pros:

The travel to the location is certainty worth the beautiful backdrop, an authentic Fijian experience. The places has a calming effect, and people awesome....you genuinely don't want to leave. Food is delicious, inspired by local dishes it was another highlight!!! And the lodge has a bunch of activities that we keep you entertained but is also the right place to sit back enjoy the heavenly place you have made the journey too. You'll want to come back!!

Absolutely stunning location. Very comfortable accommodation with air conditioning, outdoor hot shower, own hammock and sunbeds. The beach and snorkelling are fantastic here at Oarsman Bay. Staff are so friendly and helpful - we were sad to leave. Everywhere is very clean and food is great - sometimes buffet or a la carte dining. A truly beautiful place.

Cons:

Nothing. Only having to leave !!

Beautiful stay
Pros:

The Dorm was very comfortable and still private with the walls between every bed. There is no pool, but the beach there is the best I‘ve been on Fiji with soft sand. Especially the staff there was so nice and welcoming!

Pros:

My stay here was nothing short of amazing. If you are looking for a peaceful getaway with a relaxing island atmosphere, this is the perfect place. The scenery from the deck overlooking the calm, pristine sea was absolutely breathtaking and instantly soothing.

The accommodation was excellent and had everything I needed throughout my stay. The WiFi at the dining hall worked really well, although honestly, being surrounded by such peace and beauty made it easy to disconnect and simply enjoy island life.

The food was phenomenal — every meal was outstanding. Most importantly, the staff were exceptional: warm, welcoming, attentive, and genuinely made the experience even more special.

This is truly the perfect island escape to rejuvenate, reset, and unwind. Highly recommended — 10/10.
