Alright, this review is predominantly for surfers but there are pertinent points that can apply to anyone seeking to stay at this resort. Firstly, although this resort is promoted as a surfing destination, it does not receive any consistent or quality swell to support this claim. Have a look at its location in relation to the islands of Santa Isabel... More

Maravagi is a great place to unwind and chill out. A banana boat trip from the Honiara yacht club makes you feel like you're a world away. The rooms are basic, but comfortable. The room I stayed in had 3 single beds all with mosquito nets (no holes unlike other places) and the bathroom is again, basic but more then... More

Maravagi is set in a physically beautiful location, quite stunning in fact, an blessed with beautiful nearby reefs and manta rays. But for those who are used to travelling in less basic areas the amenities might be a bit of a shock. Rooms are very basic huts. Mosquitoes can be very bad. Food and drink are basic, nothing to rave... More

Stayed here many time during 2006 - 2007. There was no airconditioning, but fans and Mosi nets are supplied. The beach is ok, swimming and diving is perfection. Surf is ok, the Left on the point is not too bad, I got a 5 foot day once but usually about 3 foot. Very clean, long and when bigger can get... More

Management of Maravagi are rude and do not hesitate to shout at guests. I politely requested a short detour on the way back to Honiara (we were the only guests returning at the time so it would not have inconvenienced anyone) and offered to pay extra for it. I was then charged for it. Just before the trip I approached... More

The other reviewers here are basically accurate on the description. The resort is about 90 mins by small speedboat from honiara. Travel ONLY during good weather, because waters might become too choppy/risky for that small speedboat. Resort is a collection of wooden huts on stilts with very basic amenities. Coastal/ rural experience. So...it is unspoilt in that sense. There is... More

I just got back from 3 weeks of island hopping in the Solomons. After reading the reviews of this place I thought it would be quite good however boy was I in for a surprise. We originally booked for a 8 night stay. We stayed 2 and only stayed 2 as of the wind was blowing so hard the long... More

I don't want to add to the excellent information already provided. However, I would warn travellers that they are likely to get wet on the trip from Honiara, so dress accordingly. I travel by boat around Solomon Islands frequently. The Maravagi boat is more comfortable than most, as it has seats. Fellow visitors snorkelled for hours around the resort -... More

The Maravagi Resort is situated in a picturesque bay on Mangalonga (or Mana) Island in the north west of the Florida Islands. We were picked up from the beach in front of the Solomon Kitano Mendana Hotel in Honiara and taken by outboard-powered runabout across Iron Bottom Sound to Maravagi. The trip took about 90 minutes in this ‘motor canoe’... More
