What did I like? Where do I start?
I liked...no, I loved every minute of my stay at Maqai. It is as close to paradise as I'll allow my pragmatic mind to entertain. From the relative remoteness to the natural beauty, the super-relaxed atmosphere to the genuine warmth of the staff, this is a very special place. More of a traveller vibe than that of the well-worn tourist path of the islands closer to Nadi. Slightly rustic? Sure, but only in the best possible way.
Cathy (manager) ran as tight a ship as possible on a tropical island in the Pacific. She was welcoming and prompt with her email replies to my questions regarding all the various water sports and cultural experiences on the island. In no particular order, the following staff members quickly began to feel like old friends...Navo, Etta, Sala, Emosi, Soni, Tui, Junior, Jale, Johnny, Mama's Soke & Luce, Netta and Suki (four legged and furry). They all exude such an authentically friendly yet service oriented approach to their individual roles. I can't speak highly enough of how they looked after me.
It is up to you how much or how little activity you schedule into your day on Qamea. Highlights included surf trips to the outer reefs, snorkelling and lunch on the Island Tour, the Sunday morning village visits and church service, and the food. Crikey, the food. I had to ask for slightly less portions by dinner time, or I would have no room left for evening kava with the locals!
If you're reading this review and considering/comparing it with other options in Fiji, fair enough, but I honestly feel it is a rare and rich experience worth every cent and the added travel time to get there. Bula! Tama.

Staff are nice and helpful. The hill top house is spacious, with a large balcony and beautiful sea view. Good wifi and phone connection here. Location of resort is just less than 5 minutes from the airport. For eating, besides the restaurant in the resort, there are other good ones around there which have sea view.
Oceanfront location with proximity to other services if needed (grocery store, airport, other resort restaurants). Small number of guest cottages/guests on site. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We appreciated all of the information provided before we arrived to insure a comfortable and pleasant experience. Excellent snorkeling within a short boat ride from the property.
Right on the ocean, beautifully maintained property, comfortable king size bed, small resort so felt very personal, great staff, great owners great snorkelling right off our beach, good restaurant right on the premise.
Great resort, lovely staff, great food, nice huts in a gorgeous setting
This is a small intimate property with a great, locally adored restaurant attached. The bungalows are beautifully designed. The property is more for self-starters, with the ability to attend mass at the Island's historic church or shop in local markets just outside the entrance...it is not an isolated all-inclusive resort. It is nicely integrated into Island life. The wonderful staff will arrange anything you might want to do in or around the Island. The excellent restaurant with stunning views across the Somosomo Straight is a highlight.
Vila was great, location was perfect next to the beach and two good restaurants. Resort offered great breakfast and dinner. Staff was lovely very welcoming and helpful.
Beautiful and cozy resort, staff is lovely and food is great. Perina gives the best massages ever!
We cannot recommend this place more. Small resort with very personable service (for example airport pickup by the owner!), immaculately clean and great food and drinks available for a fair price. The location next to a local village makes it great; you have all the luxury of a resort but can also get in touch with ‘the real Fiji’. Stunning coral reef just in front of the resort. Great day trips. Loved the outdoor shower!
