Castaway Island Vacation Packages

Serenity Island Resort offered us a truly memorable stay thanks to the incredible staff who made us feel like family. A special thank you to Emosi, Nate, David, Peter, and Seru for their kindness and hospitality. Our oceanfront bure had beautiful views, and we enjoyed walking in the shallow waters at low tide, spotting purple starfish and other sea life. Snorkeling was good all around the island, and the sandbar trip to the coral walls was a highlight. The resort is older than pictured online, and some equipment like kayak paddles could use updating, but the experience was still lovely. The handline fishing was fun, and the staff fried up our catch for a delicious meal. The lovo dinner was another standout. We recommend the full board meal plan as the food was fresh and varied each day. One challenge was with their reservations team, based off-site, who were out of sync with the actual resort schedule. Activities we pre-booked, like massages, fishing, and scuba, did not match what was available, and we needed medical clearance for scuba that wasn’t communicated. It’s better to book activities once you arrive. Despite a few hiccups, Serenity Island Resort offered a wonderful experience filled with warmth, culture, and beautiful scenery.

Loved the Beachcomber!! It was perfect. Staff was Wonderful! Our room was perfect and beautiful. Beds were comfortable. Perfect sunsets!

The staff are incredible. Sail went above and beyond to get me here and everyone is so welcoming. They remember names and where everyone is from. I don’t know how they do it but I have never met a more welcoming people than those in Fiji, especially here. They have snorkel gear, kayaks and paddle boards ready to be taken out at anytime. I had such a great and relaxing stay. Would absolutely recommend anyone looking at Fiji to look here. The property could use a little TLC but I think that’s just life on an island with lots of humidity, wind and salt water.

For the self contained couple who want a positive adjunct to their life, this was perfect. The staff are 10/10.

It was a mixed experience - the staff was extremely courteous and helpful. The location is great with white sand beaches and breathtaking views of the ocean and nearby islands. However there were some major let downs - the main dining and bar area is too old and not well maintained. the food was awful and they kept running out of basic food items and water. One day we had to wait for about 18 hours just to get a bottle of water. The continental breakfast was meant to have fresh seasonal fruits, but they served preserved fruits dipped in sugar syrup. The pasta served for lunch (priced at FJD 22) was made from cheap bottled pasta sauce. It doesn’t look like the resort owner or senior management care enough about the guest experience. The $75 buffet dinner didn’t taste fresh and heard so many complaining about the food. I feel bad for the staff who are super friendly and hardworking, but they don’t seem to be well supported by the owner.
