I went with my sister and a friend who is actually from Nardi (different part of fiji), but never knew this place existed! We all fell in love with the natural beauty of Takalana. From the peaceful atmosphere and sounds of the rolling waves to the playful dolphins who go there to chill... which should tell you all you need... More

We will never forget the time we spent in Takalana - thank you for welcoming us and looking after us so well. The beach, the river and waterfalls, the food and not to mention the dolphins were all wonderful but best of all was watching our kids all play with the local children and feeling in tune with the environment...

Takalana was one of five stops in Fiji during our visit for a friend's wedding in Suva; it was the highlight. We were a family of five travelling with a "friend family" of seven and kids ranging from near sixteen to three years of age. We arrived in the evening having been collected by boat from Naigani island by Gebbye.... More

Forget about the fancy 5 star resorts....come and experience a genuine non commercial Fijian retreat ! I have stayed at a couple of holiday beach resorts in Fiji during my stay however I have to admit I had the most fun at this retreat ! We were there for 2 nights.....we had nothing but friendly smiles from the staff. Got... More

We really enjoyed this place. It was recommended by friends in Suva and it's already a very popular expat getaway. Book early to make sure you get in, they only sleep about 12 people. The rooms are basic, but charming and fun. It's in a great location up overlooking the bay with an excellent view of the offshore islands and... More

My partner and I found out about Takalana from a friend of mine who works and lives in Suva. Takalana seems to be a bit of a hidden gem with a lot of the ex-pats in Suva- and for good reason! Location- Takalana is only two and a half hours by car from Suva in an area of Viti Levu... More

For me this is a very difficult review because Takalana is a lovely place with a great friendly attentive staff and a dinner and breakfast meals that were outstanding. The resorts' isolation is part of its' uniqueness. Based solely on the above it would rate 5 stars. But from the business side Jay has a lot to learn in dealing... More

Location: Remote and hard to get there View: Breathtaking Rooms: Cosy with nice details, unfortunately they put rather ugly plastic bunk beds in the 2 rooms, so it ruins quit the atmosphere.... toilet/shower: tiny but ok. Cleanliness: There were rats around the windows, and probably even in the room. That was a major drawback. Jay promised to close the rat... More

We stayed at Takalana and had a fabulous time. The views were awesome and the food was fantastic. The place was a little piece of heaven and we would definately go back again. More
