My husband and I stayed at Garden Island for 11 days in May and had a terrific time. The diving was spectacular and we were lucky enough to have the right conditions to dive Great White Wall, Annie's Bombing, Cabbage Patch, The Zoo, Fish Factory, The Corner, The Ledge, Rainbow's End and the Yello Tunel. We saw sharks, manta rays... More

Discrimination and prejudice is high on the list of the Garden Island Resort. We have had an amazing holiday in Taveuni to visit my son-in-laws family and decided to take his family for pizza lunch and swim in the pool at this 'resort'. We rang ahead to let them know we were coming and when we arrived we informed the... More

We were staying at another hotel and they rang on behalf of us and asked if we could come and use the pool and buy some lunch as ours was out of action. They were very happy for us to do this over the phone. When we arrived we ordered $200 worth of food and more in drinks. We told... More

Brilliant location, rooms were clean and they had magnificent showers. The staff is amazing and as are the diving trips. Nothing can describe the incredible diving experiences you have here. one note though: the food is not great - very average breakfasts/lunches and dinners. Then again you dont usually come here for the food..:)

We returned from Taveuni, Fiji just over a month ago and I can highly recommend this resort. The food, staff, and facilities are just great and I have no complaints. During our stay, there were some tropical depressions hampering return flights back to the US, Australia, and New Zealand but we found the management, Phil & Mark, more than helpful... More

While I have traveled extensively, this was my first dive trip and I couldn't have more pleased. My husband and I were traveling with a group of varied dive skills and the dive masters took great care of all of us. Being a newly certified diver I had originally been somewhat nervous about diving in strong currents and also the... More

I have just returned from the Garden Island Resort after spending 9 days at this unique property. My small group and I visited this island and this resort for the purpose of scuba diving the Rainbow Reef of the Somosomo Straight. We dove the reef for 6 days, primarily three dives per day. This review discusses the Resort and the... More

This was our 4th stay at Garden Island Resort (GIR). We had a great time as usual. The property has been remodeled since our last trip. It is nice, although we miss the old place some. The downstairs rooms have been extended and have a patio with jacuzzi tub. Privacy is provided by a canvas curtain that zips up. The... More

Our group of six divers were met at the Matei airport by Phil (the owner) in a well air conditioned minibus. We traveled the winding oceanside road thru small Fijian villages and towns and arrived at the GIR. The hotel staff was waiting in the lobby and greeted us with Fijian songs and warm friendly smiles. The staff cheerfully helped... More
