This is a basic and rustic hotel, when I got there, I was kind of dissapointed. I plan to move to another hotel. . The managers Dave and Mere were trying to help me , they were so sincere and friendly, and try to make me happy. I was totaly moved, and decide to stay., At the end It was... more

Just back from 18 days at Matana Beach Resort (Dive Kadavu), Kadavu, Fiji Islands (august 2009), with my wife. First of all, we need to underline that we are not divers, therefore our comments will be about the place, the people, the environment, but not about diving. Kadavu is probably the less touristic of the Fijian islands (except the small... more

We were celebrating our honeymoon in Fiji. We traveled around the country, staying in a different place every night or two. This is the best place we visitied for a number of reasons: - Diving & snorkeling: We don't need to repeat what's already been written. It's phenomenal. - Hospitality of David and Mary: The nicest people we met in... more

Travelled with my 21 yo son who is a keen diver. He has dived in NZ ,Fijian Coral coast and Rarotonga and enjoyed the difference of these soft coral dives and the variety of small reef inhabitants.He was lucky with the weather and was able to dive the Astrolabe Reef (just a small part of it!) on the other more... more

I was astonished with the horrible hospitality and lack of help from this resort. A new found friend and I, who had been staying at Matava resort on Kadavu Island, got stuck due to very bad weather conditions. The wonderful staff at Matava attempted to help us in organizing a place to stay for the night as our flight was... more

NZConny, Owner

We as owners of Dive Kadavu were very surprised when we read this report. Any guest who has met Mere, our Resort Manager, knows that it would be completely out of character for her to treat somebody as described by rawFM. Read other TripAdvisor reviews and you know what we mean. We just would like to mention that rawFM's new...

Although our experience started rockily without anyone showing up to meet us at the airstrip for about half an hour, things improved dramatically once we checked in. Kadavu rooms are quite nice and very clean and although the power is intermittent and there are planned times when it is somewhat limited, the layout of the rooms, the porches, the clothesline... more

Thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience from the incredible journey across amazing blue water to reach Matava through to one of my favourite thing in the word the food. Tried diving which felt like floating in air the water was so clear. Went Kayaking for a day with a local Ratu (Chief) which was both fascinating and great fun. Visited one... more

My wife and i spent 14 nights at Dive Kadavu over christmas and new year 08/09. Dive Kadavu seriously exceeded all expectations. We had two main objectives for our holiday - to dive, and to relax. So i'll start with the diving. We both love our diving and we have travelled the world diving in many fantastic locations - Kadavu... more

The holiday in Matana Beach/Dive Kadavu resort was fantastic, and I would recommend this diving resort to everybody! The diving was amazing, and the Divemaster absolutely brilliant! The resort then was exactly what we desired, excellent food, nice Bure and great family atmosphere. The entire staff was so competent and ready to help, Mere and Dave, the managers, were always... more

We arrive by an 18 seater airplane on Kadavu Island, and are met by David the resort manager. We are instantly put in relax mode with David's calm, but warm welcome. My partner & I have come here to elope. The Island was recommended to us by a client who had come earlier in the year to surf the reef,... more
