Fokus liegt auf Tauchen, Essen eher nicht so gut

Wir waren am Ende unserer fiji Reise für zwei Nächte hier und hatten vorher schon 3 andere Inseln besucht, daher können wir ganz gut vergleichen. Was uns gefallen hat war das Riff , vor allem am sunrise Beach ist das Riff zum Schnorcheln beeindruckend. Außerdem war das Personal sehr nett und die bure komfortabel. Außerdem haben wir Mantas gesehen und das war uns wichtig

Worth knowing

Wenn wir das Essen mit den drei anderen Unterkünften wo wir zuvor waren vergleichen ist die Pauschale hier von fast 170 fjd definitiv zu hoch. Wir waren bspw vorher im Mai Sunset Beach Resort wo die Pauschale auch circa so viel beträgt und da war das Essen Spitzenklasse, auf dem Niveau ist das Essen vom barefoot manta nicht ansatzweise. Wir glauben, dass 80-100 FJD pro Tag angemessen wären für das was man bekommt. Ich denke wenn einem das Essen nicht so wichtig ist und man stattdessen Wert auf tauchen etc. liegt, ist man hier definitiv richtig. Wenn Essen auch wichtig ist, würde ich mir was anderes suchen

Lack of a printed map showing where everything was located. It's a maze of paths, several beaches and things hidden away. Very confusing.

Nice resort in between nature. Nice walk to the viewpoints and enjoyed the village visit.

Worth knowing

In restaurant changing buffet or a la cart. Very slow. One time waited for a lunch for more than 2h. Usually the food was okey but one buffet dinner, there was nothing that could be eaten. Bbq meat burned to the crisp, other things tasteless. The dessert was a highlight of the day. Definitely not worth the money. Condescending staff at the marine center but other people were really nice. Activities were overpriced. Was visible that they are trying to save money wherever they can. Friends who are diving were saying they dont want to take them further to other places. And just wanted to take them multiple times at the same spo to save money.
