Recommend!

The resort is in the Yasawas, very close to the Mantaray encounters and with a beautiful house reef! I slept in the dorm, which was alright. All facilities were clean and pleasant, with the showers very hot but opening to the top! I liked the toilets. I am vegetarian and there was always something. Note that the tides can affect when you can do water activities.

Worth knowing

Parts of the resort are a bit smelly, as the waste treatment was very close. Also as a vegetarian sometimes there is if course less choice. Some meals were a bit salty for me! I would have loved a place for personal activity.

Lovely relaxed resort.

Staff were friendly and welcoming. Food was excellent: good choice, quality, quantity and presentation.

Worth knowing

The trips to see the manta ray were good but needed a better policy if you didn’t see one. There was a reduction for your second trip but if u then didn’t see a manta and took another trip there was no further reduction. It would have been better to keep halving the fee.

Food was really good. Nice resort for a couple of days. Kayaking and snorkelling were free. A good level of busy.

Worth knowing

I know not all the resort but important to think about. The ferry is quite expensive and there is also a fuel surcharge. Plus then when you get to the resort, there is also a surcharge. So it all adds up.

Paradise on earth - perfect views, snorkeling and friendly staff

Carla Australia Jul 22, 2026 Couple

10.0

Everything was incredible! Island is gorgeous, staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, and the food was superb. We had the absolute best time. We stayed in a beachside villa and it was perfect. The various activities were super fun, e.g. hermit crab races, sunset tubing or kava tasting. But the highlight was the manta ray snorkeling! They were absolutely stunning! The groups were kept small and the staff were very conscious about making sure everyone was respectful and calm around the rays. Absolutely stunning!

Worth knowing

Nothing bad! Just a warning - there are a lot of steps to get up to the restaurant.

The staff were amazing and the layout of the resort was great. It was very windy while we were there. But access to both sides of the Island meant we could find shelter from the wind. Som better wind protection at the main gang out area could have been good.

Worth knowing

The food package was not as good as I expected and too Repetitive for a 4 day stay.
