We had the most incredible stay at Mai Sunset Island Resort in Fiji, and I can’t recommend it highly enough! From the moment we arrived, the warm hospitality of the staff made us feel like family. The resort is a true paradise, nestled on a pristine beach with swaying palms and crystal-clear waters that seem to glow at sunset—hence the name, and it absolutely lives up to it! Our bure was a perfect blend of traditional Fijian charm and modern comfort, with a cozy bed, stunning ocean views, and an outdoor shower that felt like a little slice of luxury under the stars. The food was a highlight—fresh, local ingredients crafted into delicious meals, with the coconut ice cream being an unforgettable treat. The compulsory meal plan was worth every penny, offering a variety of dishes that showcased Fijian flavors. The activities were endless and so much fun—snorkeling over vibrant reefs, kayaking along the shore, trips to the local village or just lazy stroll along the beach. The staff went above and beyond to ensure every experience was seamless, always with a smile(thank you Male, Nivi, Ave, Vinie, Rauga). What truly sets Mai Sunset apart is its serene, intimate vibe. It’s not overcrowded, so you feel like you’re in your own private oasis. The connection to Fijian culture was also special—learning about local traditions and seeing the care put into every detail made the stay meaningful. If you’re looking for a place to unwind, reconnect with nature, and create memories that last a lifetime, Mai Sunset Island Resort is pure perfection. I’m already dreaming of my next visit!

I can’t say enough about our experience at Waya Lalai. The staff are such wonderful people and we loved how they welcomed us into their community. There was plenty to do, the food was great, the beach is beautiful, our room was perfect. We were lucky enough to celebrate the new year and it was such a memorable experience. Our only regret is not staying longer.

The location is paradise on Earth, with a beautiful bay full of light blue and turquoise colors, white sand, a clean sea, palm trees, like in the posters we put on the wall, where we want to go. The bay in front of the resort is good for swimming without corals and rocks, and you don't need water shoes. Corals are very close by, so you can go diving and snorkeling as well. I stayed in a hostel, because I wanted to stay longer and not pay too much for accommodation. The dorm is actually a very spacious room, divided by partial walls into small 'bedrooms'. You have enough space for luggage and a wonderful view of the bay each morning. It is clean and well-ventilated. The resort is aesthetically decorated in a natural manner, and there is always nice, not too loud Fijian music in the background. You can see in the garden very interesting sculptures made from coconut shells and wood. Gardeners are real artists. There are some activities, like swimming in caves, learning about local medicine plants, weaving palm tree baskets, and a visit to a local village. There is a small concert with a cava ceremony on Sundays. All activities are done by staff from the resort. Those are multi-talented people with a great hospitality attitude. Food is good and healthy. They have a cute doggie, Rosie, and a friendly cat, Chrissy. The main management staff give them food to eat and cleans them of parasites. They also have goats right behind the resort, and you can go to see them, too. Everyone is nice and approachable. Even though this is a tourism resort, and of course, money is important, in the Oarsman, somehow, you feel they take care of the well-being of guests, and you feel a personal connection with the staff. You see them, they see you, so you have some feelings about authentic Fijian people, and that they have good care about you. As a solo female traveler in a foreign land and a distant island, I felt safe.

We loved this beautiful Resort. The wonderful beach, the exceptional facilities, the friendly staff. Especially the Manager Alfie. The moment we stepped on the beach from blue lagoon cruise ship, we immediately impressed by the friendly atmosphere and its beautiful surroundings. Although unfortunately My husband got stomach bug the very night after we landed and ended up too sick for us to enjoy the resort during our very short stay. We left resort with great appreciate for the great care and support from the Manager Alfie. His caring and calm manner greatly eased my worries as I was concerned more serious situation it might be. We highly recommended that truly paradise. We think about revisiting in the future to enjoy what we had missed this time.

Staff were absolutely amazing, so friendly, made you feel like family, always smiling and helpful. The food was amazing, especially the Japanese restaurant. Use of paddle board and inflatable and trips were also a highlight.

This Resort is a most go to in Fiji. I think it is perfect on all aspects: the delicious food, the kind and welcoming staff, variety of activities, beautiful beaches and snorkeling, delicious cocktails - everything in this place makes you feel like you are in true paradise. Our room was very clean and comfortable, everybody in the staff did everything they can to make our stay the best possible. The food was truly beyond our expectations, I felt like I was eating in a high end restaurant. If you are visiting Fiji, do yourself a favor and book Octupos resort!

Amazing luxury resort, great staff made every moment special, excellent food, pretty great value all considered

South beach beach bure was right next to the ocean and we could watch the sunrise and sunsets from our room, snorkeling was right off each beach, staff is so friendly and welcoming (especially since my mom arrived feeling ill from motion sickness), kids club activities were awesome

We loved the small resort vibes with there only being a handful of bungalows. The staff were all so lovely and the whole place had an amazing chill vibe. The best was the island doggos who came paddling boarding with us! Beautiful and spacious rooms and loved all the small details.

Such a lovely family and welcoming home! My room was so clean and comfortable and the family were very kind and accommodating. It was great to hike with George to see the incredible view of the southern islands and Tiana’s food is really amazing!! I got to know the family well and have very sweet moments together like sharing a few sessions of yoga :) I planned my days around high tide so I could swim in their beautiful bay. Other highlights include hearing the school children sing, walking through the village and getting to know the community, and church service. I felt so lucky to get to know the village and their customs. Thank you to the family and to Soso village!
