After reading the reviews on this site I didn't not hesitate to make a booking. This was much to my disappointment. Where to I start

CONS:
1. No one knows about this resort which makes it hard to get a taxi from the airport
2.The owner is a rip off
2.1 Charges you F$10 to get to the main road - one way (oh and this is per person not per ride like every other transport ie taxi.) He doesn't mention this when you get in the vehicle (making it seem that it is part of the service provided by the hotel. Only when you go to check out and clear the bill does he hit you with the costs for transfers to the main road or shops)
2.2 Tried to charge me the full rate for the room F$180 regardless of the fact that I got a very cheap rate online (cheaper than the backpacker rate on the resort website)
2.3 Regardless of the fact that my booking was for a Family villa with a double and single bed, the owner told insisted twice that I should have been in the cheaper backpacker accommodation and that he was doing me a favor letting me have the villa??? He also advised me that if it got busy, I would have to move to the backpacker accommodation.
2.4 After 2 frustrating days, I was not happy with the accommodation and I opted to check out after 3 days. The owner wanted to charge me for the full entire period I was supposed to be there, claiming we had a contract. (this was despite not having my booking upon arrival and my booking rate stating I had a minimum 2 night for this resort)
2.5 The owner tried to charge me for breakfast and dinner, despite my booking stating that the rate included these meals.
3 There are no activities at the resort
4 The resort does not organise any tours for its visitors. Every other hotel has a tour desk where you choose what you would like to get involved in and they call the companies for you and organise pick up. Despite multiple attempts to get assistance for activities I was booked for. The owner didn't seem concerned about any of my plans. This leads me to the next problem
5 There is minimal reception at the resort which makes contacting any tours you might have booked almost impossible.
6 The Owner is not very friendly and welcoming, I was very uncomfortable and walking on egg shells whenever he was there. ZERO customer service.
7 The walls are very thin in this place. I was awakened by the loud moaning noises of the couple having sex in the villa next to mine
8 No defined times for electricity. The generator is turned on when it gets dark and is switched off at 11pm. Therefore-
9 No air conditioning during the day, not even a fan.
10 This is not the resort to stay in if you plan on swimming or surfing. There is coral for meters and meters and you can walk out to the end of the reef as the water only gets to about waist deep all the way.

That said there was a few positive things about the place
PROS"
1 Awesome views of the beach from the balcony, if you are in the villas
2 Quiet and very peaceful
3 The train tracks run right through the resort and in as much as I didn't see it, i was told it comes through 3 times a week and goes from the Shangri-La's Fijian to some other hotel to the north. You can hop on and go to other resorts to do other activities.
4 With the exception of one, all the staff were very friendly and tried to help as much as they could with the limitations they had to work with. They kept me entertained and if it wasn't for them and the owners wife, I would have probably left after 1 day.
5 The owners wife was very nice and went looking for a coconut so that the chef could cook us a traditional Fiji meal
6 The fact that there are not a lot of people staying here they personalise the meals to suit the occupants. If you want to have fish and chips, you get that, If you want a curry, you get that. Pretty cool and flexible.

All in all this is a place you only go to to get away from people, technology and the activities. If you are looking for a very quiet place to entertain yourself and just relax.

We LOVED this place. The first thing you need to know is that there is just about NOTHING to do except relax at the beach. Having said this my girlfriend and I both went here very worried because we are two people who do not relax very well.However after a few hours at Namuka it was soon impossible to not be relaxed. The views are INCREDIBLE, especially from the bures. The food is good, and very cheap. Everything is organic and the fruit they give you is amazing. Ole the hotel manager is great, she gives you everything you need while also giving you a ton of privacy. We stayed for 5 nights, and did not get bored. The hotel is very secluded, and if you are looking to do a lot of activities do not stay here. Overall this was one of the best travel experiences we have ever had. Also the power is only on for four hours, however there is a constant wind which keeps it cool.

Was here in June and re-visited as I loved it so much. Brisbane is not too far from Nadi so its an easy trip.
I wont repeat all the things about the beauty of the place but a few tips that I may give........
Be aware the generator is on for about 3 hrs at night, so: bring torches and batteries - there is NO power so its totally pitch black. Love for the stars but not for trips to the loo in the middle of the night. Also if you are an insomniacal reader, like me, you will need good light to read. Mosquito coils, too just in case, not really the plugs ins altho they are good for when the power is on, but the ones you light.
Snacks and plenty of reading and entertainment things. Once you are at the resort you are really there and thats it. Altho Mr Ali does travel into town and you can ask him if you can accompany him. He was most obliging when I was there.
The staff are beautiful but not well off. If you love to give out small pressies, this will warm your heart. I decided on little luxuries, like lipsticks for the ladies. Also second hand clothes. Most of the staff are size 10-14 and the men small - medium.
If you are heading to the airport the next day upon leaving Namuka Bay, bear in mind that you wont be able to blow dry hair or shave (using electric implements).
Also, altho the menu has set items, you can ask for what you would like and if its possible, it will be done. There was not salad on the menu but I had lovely salads, with corriander mixed in, plus eggs, cheese, grated raw carrot etc. You need to stipulate clearly what you would like. The chef assumed I meant blanched and boiled carrot, so you just need to get the understandings in sinc and all will be well. The chef Krish is very obliging.
I think there are about 5 ladies and about 8 men. Approx. And 96 goats at the last count!
Oh and if you are in Nadi around the time Mr Ali finishes work he may be able to give you a lift to Namuka Bay and if you are ready to leave in the morning when he does for work, then he may be able to give you a lift into Nadi then. Just check with the office email.
I shall return again, next year.

I just came back from Fiji , we stayed 3 nights in the Namuka bay resort , it is a really fantastic places , quiet and peace . You can do anything there , reading a book , listening music , Snorkeling to see the coral and fishes , even horse riding besides the beach . A very stong recommendation for the first stop to Fiji .
