Barefoot Manta Island Resort and Marine Sanctuary

10/10 Excellent

"The coral on the east side of the resort was excellent and easy to access at high tide. It was much better than coral experienced in the Caribbean. Free guided snorkel trips to the local reef were offered every day. The staff is very friendly and helpful, a real Fiji experience."

Naqalia Lodge

Snorkeling with sharks (homestay)

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay in Yasawa Island was absolutely amazing and exceeded all our expectations.A special thank you to Bill, who provided outstanding service throughout our stay. He went above and beyond to make our fishing and snorkelling adventures truly memorable. Watching the girls enjoy every moment was priceless. My little one caught what felt like millions of fish, while the "grumpy old lady" managed to land the monster fish of the trip! Bill, thank you for helping make their dreams come true and for creating memories that our family will cherish forever.We were also spoiled by Paula's incredible cooking. The local food was absolutely delicious, and every meal was prepared with so much care and love. No matter what time we returned from our fishing trips, Paula was always there with a warm smile and something wonderful to eat. Her hospitality and dedication made us feel right at home.The combination of breathtaking surroundings, exceptional hospitality, amazing local cuisine, and unforgettable fishing experiences made this one of the best family holidays we've ever had.Thank you, Bill and Paula, for your kindness, hard work, and genuine hospitality. We arrived as guests and left feeling like family. We can't wait to come back!"

Paradise Cove Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed on board the Pipe Rose catamaran and visited both the Paradise Cove and Blue Lagoon Resorts. The staff at both resorts were great and the boat crew incredible! Highly recommended way to see the Fijian Islands."

Mantaray Island Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed in the bunk room with other younger people. Everyone was respectful and the dorm was clean. Staff were great, all meals had good choices. The vibe at Manta Ray is fun and geared for all ages. Took part in many of the evening activities. Would 100% go back."

Mai Sunset Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"Clean and new. Staff was awesome, food was wonderful. The sunsets were unreal and the setting unbelievable. Very clean rooms. Once the pool is in it will be even better."

Korovou Eco Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Korovou completely exceeded our expectations. The lodging is simple but was the perfect Fiji experience we were hoping for. We came from a resort with more amenities on the main island, but Korovou was the highlight of our trip. Amazing staff, especially Abo, our main activities guy, and the ladies in the kitchen, as well as all the others constantly working on property, even down to pouring cement and raking the beach. We felt like family here, and met so many people from around the world. You can feel the care and passion put into everything they do. We ate like kings & queens, with plates piled high with delicious homemade food, we even got a surprise beach picnic at no charge with food made over the fire, and were taken by boat to a new beach to explore. Gorgeous coral reefs right out our door, with optional day trips to see the coral garden at Manta Ray passage. (no rays when we went but it was beautiful) Reviews are true when it comes to limited electricity, low water pressure, and extra charges for food and boat tender, but it did not affect our trip negatively in the slightest. Just come knowing those things and having an open mind. Vinaka vaka levu to everyone that made our time here so special."
