“Getting a bit tired!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012

people found this review helpful

Just back from 2nd visit...1st was around opening day in 2005-2006. While many newbies seem to think this is best in all Yasawas, I suspect it may be better for the "slightly more than budget backpacker crowd". The "all day" menu hasn't changed in six yearsand this was confirmed by another guest....there for the 20th visit! Dinners were pretty lame, and regulars seem afraid to complain. Westside watersports with similar ownership, moved here from original location, did not have much equipment for diving guests accustomed to renting theirs at other Fiji dive spots. Rumor has it that the place is for sale. Staff is OK, but doesn't match up with "fresh" attitude at other spots. For those complaining about airfare, the Yasawa Flyer is the INLY way to get to these resorts.

Room Tip: Two types....tree house is very basic, but unusual and cool views. Bures on ground are typical.

“Exceeded all expectations”

Stayed here with 11 and 9 year old boys for 7 days.
A small laid back resort with excellent snorkelling and kayaking from the beach. The food was great and catered for all. We were there Christmas day and they put on an amazing buffet feast. They are always obliging if you require something otherwise the island is yours to enjoy. Would definitely recommend for those wanting the real Fiji family experience.

“Geckos, rugby and great staff!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 December 2011

Myself and my husband stayed here in September whilst on our honeymoon. As a honeymoon place it was fabulous. We stayed in the highly sought after Bure 11 which is a steep walk up the hill but well worth it for the view. We loved the bure - I'm not sure the shower can really be referred to as out side though - it has walls and a roof! It is lovely though as is the rest of the room. The only thing to point out is that it is amongst the trees so expect creepy crawlies - everyday we woke up there was a cockroach on the floor. Also, use the mosquito net - not just for the mosquitoes, but also for the occasional bit of gecko poo falling from the thatched roof. That makes it sound like it was horrible, but it wasn't - just a fact of life of being in a hot place on an isolated island.
The resort is beautiful - the reef just off the beach, and the area where new coral is being grown was like swimming in a fish tank, and you can just walk down the sea path if the tide is out.
The food - again very nice and the menus varied every night. We would have like a variation on the lunch menu, but all the food was fresh and tasty!
The bar is well stocked, and we were expecting it to be very expensive after hearing about how much everything was on the outlying islands of Fiji. On average though it was only about 1 or 2 Fijian dollars more than the main island.
Now - the staff - what can I say - nothing is too much trouble - we were there whilst the Rugby World Cup was on and Joyji was happy to lend his boat out, and took us to the village on the opposite island for one game. Now we are back in the world of flat screen TV's and pubs the experience of watching a game with the TV poking out someone's front door and a florescent tube hung up next to it, and the next day of being in Aunty Fanny's front room with two TV's with no reception, we really appreciate Sky! Alfie, Linda, Joyji and Remi were all fabulous and we had a real laugh with them - thank you!
If you go to Fiji wanting a TV, hair dryer, night club, lots of places to go and see etc this is not the place for you. But if you want beautiful surroundings and masses of relaxation then get into one of the many hammocks - but watch out for falling coconuts!

“Looking out to Sea”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 November 2011

Nanuya felt tranquil from the moment I arrived. The water is gentle, barely a wave, as there are islands and reefs surrounding the "pond". Great snorkeling just offshore. There was the ubiquitous Cat Stevens playing and 3 resident egrets on the shore, which I could watch from sheltered daybeds or beach hammocks and lounges. I would have liked a communal table at breakfast and some tales of the South Pacific told at Happy Hour. After a week I understood Fiji time: things will always change, don't worry ahead of time.

Room Tip: The tree top bures each have an expansive view. Some are noisier than others due to proximity to the...

“Absolute Heaven”

Situated right next door to Turtle Island - no roads - no TV - just bliss. Food was wonderful - how they ever managed to produce such delights from their small kitchen - even fresh baked muffins for breakfast.
Set up amongst the trees we had a wonderful view of the bay from our bungalow. Snorkelling was great. A variety of things to do and places to go were on offer or one could just relax in a hammock and read a book. We walked round the island which took a couple of hours - discovered a backpackers on the other side. A wonderfully relaxing time for the two of us without the screaming kids that you get in a largr resort. Definitely a place for couples.
