Beautiful spot to relax and enjoy in paradise. We are a family of 4 and spent 6 nights in a beach front Bure and we loved it. Beds were comfortable and a short walk to the main beach,bar and eating area. The food was good, you wont go hungry. We took some snacks but didn't need all of them. We also took 18 bottles of water which we used up over the 6 nights (Saved some money not buying on the island). Overall it's a real family atmosphere and we made friends with other families. Snorkeling is twice daily, but you can just relax on the beach and take a dip when you get to hot. The room is cleaned daily and everything was better than we expected. Just being in the Beautiful clear water looking around is just amazing! We will be back. Staff are very friendly and like family. The only problem we had was the pickup service and boat to the island, I organised a pickup from our airbnb but the transport went to the wrong place even though they had the address, so we had to quickly find a taxi to the port.

Absolutely unique location, small island resort ( 10 min walk around), incredible friendly staff , greeting you as a family. Special thanks to Mama, who is always making sure you have a great time there. Daily snorkelling trips ( are included, Collyn and his colleague ( another captain, sorry forgot his name) will bring you to a different reefs two times per day, great snorkelling spots! Also special thanks to Mally who entertained us during stay and we had learned a lot about local history and people there! Absolutely recommend it!

Lots of maintenance required. When taking people out for for short snorkel not taking basic safety ladder so ppl can get back in boat. If you get sick, limited support. If you have air conditioning do not make it cold. Make it less hot than outside but still warmish. Try not to shock body with temperatures. Do not drink water or brush teeth with water. Some A staff and some F staff. Gift shop way overpriced and poor quality products. Hostel stay is basic with putrid smell of sanitization. LOVED turtle conservation program. Take hat, lots of sunscreen. Staff who do massages need much more training and to show up to booked appointments. A number of ppl got mild diarrhoea whilst staying here. No luxury foods. It’s basic economy food. This island is set up for day trippers not ppl staying for 4 to 14 nights.

It’s a very old but natural island. Facilities were old and dirty with the flies everywhere. The staffs were very friendly. The food wasn’t tasty but filling up our stomachs with no issues. We really appreciated the free activities offered by the resort they were awesome! The views were incredibly spectacular, we all loved it! We enjoyed our stay here.

The island itself is beautiful with great corals for snorkeling from the beach and included boat trips. The staff were also super friendly and helpful. The rooms are pretty dated and some deeper cleaning could do with being done on occasion (we cleaned out our own shower head to get a reasonable shower) but the overall resort is decent for the price. Be aware that all paths/bar/restaurant is sand so if that’s not your thing maybe think twice. Overall a good place for a budget few days relaxing as long as you go in with the expectation of dated facilities and a desire to do little else but enjoy the beautiful waters.

Great Fiji Small Island Experience
Excellent value! Staff is extremely attentive, addressing every need of the guest with an extremely positive attitude. The included food is very good and plentiful. The included snorkeling trips twice each day are wonderful. There is a glass bottom boat for non-snorkelers. There was even afternoon tea each day at 3 pm. Bar is open all day and evening. Guests get the Fiji small island experience at a fabulous price. Rooms are large but simple.

My fiancé and I had an absolutely wonderful time staying at this little resort in paradise. There are so many things about this place that make it fantastic, but I will try to mention our highlights. First of all, the enthusiastic staff goes above and beyond to keep the property clean, the white sand combed, and the rooms clean. We stayed in a private beach front with air con and have absolutely no complaints. Comfy bed, warm shower, and sunset views over the pacific every night. The resort also offers free daily snorkeling tours to a gorgeous reef that's only a 5 minute boat ride away. Bring your own snorkeling gear and you can discover vast reefs right off the shore and spend the whole day fish finding. Fiancé and I have traveled around the world and we both agree that you can't get a better deal at this price point. From the friendly staff to the amenities and the relaxing laid back atmosphere, we will be back if we can!

Great second stay!
This was our second stay on the island. Last time was 1975 for our honeymoon. The atmosphere was still the same. Loud music, good food, dancing and quizzes. Very low key. My husband is coeliac and he received separate meals... Even gluten free pancakes for breakfast. Much appreciated.

Our stay at the beachcomber was great, the staff are beautiful friendly people. Our room was clean and tidy. The shower only ran cold water but for only one night we swam in the sea and were happy with that. The all inclusive buffet breakfast lunch and dinner was a complete surprise for us. What was offered was basic but good food and was all inclusive so a bonus. Snorkeling was absolutely amazing and i recommended it if your staying at the beachcomber.

No one should book! Its terrible
The description of the resort did not state that it has sand 99 fiji dollars per person each time. everywhere to walk from reception to rooms or for lunch. I was not able to walk easily in sand as a less abled person. I left the resort within 3 hours of checking in. In that 3 hours what I also noticed is how over priced the resort was with very limited amenities. This resort is on an island 45 minutes boat trip so once you are there it is hard to go any where else unless you pay

My husband and I enjoyed our 5 day stay at Beachcomber Resort as we were after a quiet escape in the sun. We were aware that the resort was on the older side and in need of renovation, which it certainly does need. The all inclusive food was nice and simple nothing fancy, but it was all we needed and we were happy with that. Our trip to Cloud 9 was the highlight of our trip. The coral snorkelling that the resort organised daily was great, the fish were just beautiful. The resort was very quiet the week we went and there wasn’t much to do at night. The room was basic and clean. It’s a shame that there was no beach lounges / umbrellas.Take aero guard with you as the flies are annoying and a torch as there generator cut out a few times a good book and some playing cards! Overall we had a good relaxing time. If you are after a quiet few days on a budget this is for you.

Beachcomber Island far exceeded our expectations! Every single staff member was friendly and helpful, the service could not have been better. The accommodation was basic though had everything we needed. The meals were authentic and super tasty, provided in generous portions. The bar was well stocked and reasonably priced too - cocktails aplenty! We’re looking forward to returning and highly recommend a visit!

The island is absolutely beautiful and the staff outstanding. It was a pleasure to remain barefoot for the 5 days as we moved around the island. You need to understand this property does not pretend to be anymore than what it advertises itself to be - it is comfortable but rustic and true island life. Our expectations for the food were unrealistic considering the property was still recovering from the pandemic with low visitor numbers. We met several repeat travellers to the island who still enjoy how relaxing and welcoming the island life is. We will return.

The island is beautiful. A bit too much coral in the sand. Food is lack luster. The staff is excellent, we loved them all. The bar is pretty great. The rooms are clean and ver basic. You get a laid back island vibe. For the price it can’t be beat. Bring your own snacks and water if you want to save a few bucks. The adventures you can book are basic, but still fun and inexpensive. I would take my entire family back there. Not a luxury stay but a true Fiji experience.

Our family of 5 enjoyed every minute of our 8 night stay at Beachcombers. A standout was the snorkelling both off the beach (we could round the island in 1-2 hours), or the regular trips on the resort's glass bottom boat. The staff were also fabulous, super welcoming and helpful when working out travel logistics and accommodating our fussy eaters. It was hard to leave.

Extremely friendly and helpful staff.
We had a wonderful time at Beachcomer Island. This may have been due to the fact that there were only a couple people on the island and we pretty much had the island to ourselves. The food was good and although they were not operating under normal conditions(due to Covid restrictions) and deficients were more than made up by the friendly and helpful staff at the resort. I would say it was a near perfect stay—

At best only spend half day here. Island is naturally beautiful however tons of day trippers ruin it with Cigarette butts, broken beer bottles and trash everywhere. We stayed in Burre 12 which had lots of mosquitoes, ants, a big lizard and a dead cockroach. Water for first night in shower was a droop. Food quality was appalling, felt some sand in rice, no water or drinks included. Porter Staff was very nice. Beware of their Covid Rapid antigen test, we did the test prior to leaving and got printout certificates for results that Fiji Airways did not recognize because it wasn’t on an official letterhead with the labs info. So had to redo the Covid rapid test at airport and it’s cheaper at airport also, $25 FJD per person. Would never stay here again. All of us have tons of bug bites and was same for all other guests there.
