We stayed at Fatboys for 4 nights in late February 2013 and had a great time. There are plenty of things to do such as snorkelling/diving, going walkabout on the island, visiting the local village or neighbouring islands, and going in to Gizo Town. Or you can just take it easy, relax and have a quiet time in a comfortable... More

We have just spent 7 nights at Fatboys with some friends (4 of us) and we had a fantastic time, the owner Dan Kennedy was great and went out of his way to make sure our holiday was enjoyable, offering us the use of his boat and we did lots of Island hopping, the staff packing us picnic lunches, the...

Just spent two days at Fatboys near Gizo. What a find this was. It was fantastic snorkelling right in front of our accommodation. We did two dives as well with Nico and Kale from Gizo Dive. Both were very patient and once we got our confidence they showed us so many amazing things. Would totally recommend this to anyone. We... More

My husband and I stayed at Fatboys for 4 nights in August 2012. If we had known before hand that this place was so absolutely gorgeous we would most definately haved stayed alot longer. I'm thinking that the last review in May was very harsh! But I guess it depends on one's expectations! The 1st day and night we were... More

Such an amazing spot - such a shame for Solomon Islands tourism that it has become so tired and now seems to attract few guests but staka heavy drinkers and underage 'bar girls'. Hottest night ever after electricity went off when the bar closed (we had been assured there was 24-hour electricity and fan cooling). 'Honeymoon bungalow' has no airflow,... More

My family had a great time at FatBoys. The new manager is working hard on a maintenance upgrade and getting the resort operating smoothly. We knew about the power issues before we went so we didn't find it a problem that the power is only on in the evenings (NB a new generator is about to be installed). We stayed... More

My partner and stayed here for 4 nights. The place is in an awesome location, right on the crystal clear water away from everything, but just a boat ride away from Ghizo centre. We choose this place because we did not want to do anything but relax, and this was perfect for it. The room was very spacious and comfortable.... More

We stayed here for a week over christmas and it was picturesque and relaxing. Rooms were lovely and clean and it had the most comfortable mattress we experienced in the Solomons. The location was just amazing and the food delicious (especially the chilli mud crab). My husband and children are picky with what they eat and the chef went out... More

We had the opportunity to stay at Fatboys for two days during our 8 day visit to the Solomons. What a beautiful place to relax. The views were spectacular and the water crystal clear. The owners Dave and Chelsea and their staff made you feel like family and treated us very well. The food was always fresh and prepared with... More

What an amazing place! My partner and I stayed there about a year ago (see note below on why the delay on review). Everyday we kept pinching ourselves about how beautiful and relaxing this place is. This should be taken into context that this is not a five star resort with that kind of service and facilities, but an amazing... More
