Feb 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### ONE OF MY BEST VACATIONS EVER The property is quaint does not have all the bells and whistels of resorts, however the location is great and the staff was very helpfull. The price for my stay was very reasonable. I rented a car for my weeks stay, I would suggest that it makes your vacation very enjoyable. The owner Vaiana George and the Fijian lady very helpful. I would reccomend the Hiddem Gem for a budget vacation. ##### george g. Stayed 6 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jane Aug 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication A great location away from the usual tourist traps but close enough to walk to a local shop and swimming beach. Bikes were not available however we hired ebikes which made the whole island accessible. It's suited our needs well and Vaiana was quick to help with any problems. ##### Jane Stayed 15 nights in Aug 2025
