La plage est belle mais malheureusement vite encombrée de déchets avec les marées. En revanche, l’organisation est vraiment catastrophique. Le discours répété chaque jour pour les arrivées et départs est exactement le même, sans aucune adaptation, ce qui donne une impression de manque d’attention. Les prix semblent fixés « à la tête du client », aussi bien pour certaines prestations que pour la nourriture, ce qui est assez déroutant. De plus, les commissions prises pour organiser des activités avec des prestataires sont exagérées, alors qu’il n’y a derrière aucune véritable organisation. Je comprends le Fiji time, mais ici, cela frôle l’abus. ##### Lea Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elena Mar 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Had an amazing time here in the dorm!

The staff and Management at Naqalia went above and beyond to make our stay nothing short of amazing and they were always smiling and happy to help. We stayed in the garden Bure, a traditional Fijian house, which was a pretty authentic experience of the life on the island. The food was home cooked, traditional and always in very generous portions. We sat at the table with the other guests and were a "family -like" meal times while the staff and management was playing guitar and singing songs for us. The lodge is on the beach surrounded by nature at the feet of a mountain, you can enjoy a spectacular view of the other island when you wake up with the sounds of chicken and roosters roaming around the Bure. The coral reefs just off the beach are SPECTACULAR, we could see many tropical fish of every colour, size and shape. It definitely was one of the best snorkeling spots that we have been to. The lodge offers also paid activities such as shark feeding, fishing and village visit. We spent 4 days there but we really wished we could stay more.

We did activities such as fishing, snorkelling, swimming, trekking and visiting the villa. We will definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone interested in knowing and learning from the real Fijian life. ##### Stefania Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Helen Mar 9, 2025 Liked: Staff & service #### Amazing staff and snorkeling off the beach Pluses: great staff, lovely family run authentic resort who thank you for coming and play guitar and sing thru every dinner. There's a reef in front of the lodge with the most diverse corals I've ever seen- snorkeled 3 days in a row and loved every minute (and it ended up being some of the best snorkeling we had in the country, and at no extra charge)! Food was great despite cooking for only 3 of us (low season), Fijians love onions and garlic! Negatives: the place is a bit grotty... upholstery on chairs and couches is very dirty. Bathrooms are a bit gross. No fan at night when power is off. No room cleaning in 3 days even after asking to have it swept due to sand tracking in. So take your not-so-nice clothes, mosquito spray and enjoy the snorkeling! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4E628EF1FF2E758948CEA747AB31BA8360209ACC1741556878407.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1DCA247D72687DAEE6D5DCBA23CE35104CF829D51741556878662.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/A64F908B7AFFD724605DE421FF81B773C11411BE1741556878193.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/68061322A8DD1309C67DC357207460831158B3C11741556878507.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Helen Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Constance Apr 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Paradise with an amazing my kind staff! What a magic place in the world. Naqalia Lodge might be the best place I ever stayed and God knows I have been traveling! It is not a 5 star hotel and the accommodations are very simple but you have everything you need. Sleeping with the wind on your face and the sound of waves, mosquitoes nets everywhere for you to be well. This I will miss a lot. Showers are cold but you don’t really need hot showers as the temperature is quite warm even in the evenings. The spot in itself is for everyone else that stayed here while I was there including me, the best snorkeling spot we’ve seen so far with the most amazing plate corals with all types of colors. Incredible! The activities are great between fishing, hiking (steep climbs!), going to the village is also a must to meet the children. You never get bored and have time to relax during your day and snorkel all day! The meal plan is perfect, you are never hungry and the food is good. Breakfast is the best!! And finally, the kindness, the continuous efforts of the team to make you happy, to make you feel at home but also to get to know you and share their history and culture with you. Oni, Sia, Aku, Manu, Mana, Toui a very big THANK YOU. I will remember your kindness and generosity forever! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/FEB0C370B1D07DA42FBF8607074EE6B82EC862331744504147228.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/183327E7059D3D4DF77A53393553D9FD5F2A0A311744504138869.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5CCAD2FAE4265DF7BFFE660EABC66F4007BCF0661744504155019.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/FCC1DB70634E32E2C531DD98A65188B3561CFD931744504149483.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Constance Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Mark Oct 26, 2024 Liked: Staff & service Beautiful island with great snorkeling directly in front of lodge. Whilst the area in front of the room was clean and well maintained there were piles of rubbish and disused materials spread across the grounds as well as rubbish on the beach. The room and bed were comfortable although the bathroom was in poor condition with cold water shower only which we didn’t mind. It felt quite awkward as the only guests at the lodge for 4 days especially at meals where the nice staff would all sit directly facing us singing and watching us eat including the cute hungry children all waiting for us to finish so they could eat only after we had finished I think it was a good option to stay here for a few days to support the local villagers and get to know some of the locals and its a great location with lots of activities and excellent snorkelling at your front door but it’s very basic, a bit dirty, and little awkward at times. Would recommend staying here for a few days but incorporating it with another resort option in the area. ##### Mark Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hilton Fiji Beach Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Nadi-Hotels-Hilton-Fiji-Beach-Resort-And-Spa.h1453687.Hotel-Information) > > [Fiji Gateway Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Nadi-Hotels-Fiji-Gateway-Hotel.h2346217.Hotel-Information) > > [Tokatoka Resort Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Nadi-Hotels-Tokatoka-Resort-Hotel.h5194650.Hotel-Information) > > [Nakelo Treasure Island Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Treasure-Island-Hotels-Treasure-Island-Resort.h3870.Hotel-Information) > > [Castaway Island Fiji](https://www.expedia.ca/Castaway-Island-Hotels-Castaway-Island-Fiji.h1618373.Hotel-Information) > > [Likuliku Lagoon Resort - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Malolo-Island-Hotels-Likuliku-Lagoon-Resort-Adults-Only.h2194769.Hotel-Information) > > [Mana Island Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Mana-Island-Hotels-Mana-Island-Resort-Spa.h2188393.Hotel-Information) > > [Matamanoa Island Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Matamanoa-Island-Hotels-Matamanoa-Island-Resort.h3044415.Hotel-Information) > > [Lomani Island Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Malolo-Lailai-Island-Hotels-Lomani-Island-Resort-Adults-Only.h3790473.Hotel-Information) > > [Musket Cove Island Resort & Marina](https://www.expedia.ca/Malolo-Lailai-Island-Hotels-Musket-Cove-Island-Resort-Marina.h2510693.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Resort Fiji Denarau Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Nadi-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Resort-Fiji-Denarau-Island.h1749373.Hotel-Information) > > [Warwick Fiji](https://www.expedia.ca/Korolevu-Hotels-Warwick-Fiji.h664202.Hotel-Information) > > [OUTRIGGER Fiji Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Korotogo-Hotels-Outrigger-Fiji-Beach-Resort.h564500.Hotel-Information) > > [Tokoriki Island Resort - Adults only](https://www.expedia.ca/Tokoriki-Island-Hotels-Tokoriki-Island-Resort-Adults-Only.h1859172.Hotel-Information) > > [Yasawa Island Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Yasawa-Island-Hotels-Yasawa-Island-Resort.h564430.Hotel-Information) > > [Fiji Marriott Resort Momi Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Momi-Hotels-Fiji-Marriott-Resort-Momi-Bay.h17398490.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue Lagoon Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Nacula-Island-Hotels-Blue-Lagoon-Beach-Resort.h19370983.Hotel-Information) > > [Plantation Island Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Malolo-Lailai-Island-Hotels-Plantation-Island-Resort.h2160409.Hotel-Information) > > [Malolo Island Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Malolo-Island-Hotels-Malolo-Island-Resort.h1099259.Hotel-Information) > > [Paradise Cove Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Naukacuvu-Island-Hotels-Paradise-Cove-Resort.h19370922.Hotel-Information) > > [Six Senses Fiji](https://www.expedia.ca/Malolo-Island-Hotels-Six-Senses-Fiji.h22944240.Hotel-Information) > > [Sofitel Fiji Resort And Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Nadi-Hotels-Sofitel-Fiji-Resort-And-Spa.h1486309.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Fiji Golf & Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Nadi-Hotels-Sheraton-Fiji-Resort.h13884.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental Fiji Golf Resort & Spa by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Natadola-Hotels-InterContinental-Fiji-Golf-Resort-Spa.h2667058.Hotel-Information) > > [Shangri-La Yanuca Island, Fiji](https://www.expedia.ca/Yanuca-Island-Hotels-Shangri-La-Yanuca-Island.h2611.Hotel-Information) > > [Beachcomber Island Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Beachcomber-Island-Hotels-Beachcomber-Island-Resort.h2237632.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Hotel Fiji - Sonaisali Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Sonaisali-Island-Hotels-DoubleTree-Resort-By-Hilton-Hotel-Fiji-Sonaisali-Island.h1584731.Hotel-Information) > > [Mantaray Island Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Nanuya-Balavu-Island-Hotels-Mantaray-Island-Resort.h4917197.Hotel-Information) > > [Serenity Island Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Bounty-Island-Hotels-Serenity-Island-Resort.h24105137.Hotel-Information) > > [Tanoa Waterfront Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Lautoka-Hotels-Tanoa-Waterfront-Hotel.h1858014.Hotel-Information)
