    Evening meals especially were excellent. The beach is spectacular and you get sun literally all day. The sunset is spectacular.

    The food is good, although the evening menu was a bit too fancy at times. A choice of a less elaborate dish would have been welcomed at times.

    The resort is wonderful, the coral reef and snorkling stunning and the staff is amazing.

    Unfortunately we didn’t enjoy all of our meals. Two things we did enjoy was the Fish Burger and Omelette. It was a very expensive meal package.

    Loved our stay at the beach front Bure. The outdoor shower in the bathroom was so beautiful and we also found the bed's very comfortable. We visited the nearby village and Kindy. Which was such a great experience. I also ended up doing the hike. Was such a great hike. With amazing views. Also on a clear night the stars were amazing.

    A little on the pricey side…

    Beach front room (Poppy) - absolutely incredible to walk out onto your own little area of beach. Great food and were able to cater very well for my Coeliac wife. Staff were fantastic and went over and above to make our stay very special. The snorkelling on the reef outside the hotel was some of the best I have ever done.

    The reef is gorgeous. Snorkelling off the beach to a beautiful reef with abundant marine life is so luxurious. The food is very fresh and abundant. Breakfast is a continental breakfast buffet plus an a la carte meal and a barista coffee. Dinner was 5 courses with some really interesting delicious dishes. There is a lot to do. Yoga on the beachfront is unforgettable. There is live music every night and it was great listening to Fijian bands. Just watching the sun set is great entertainment. We did the village visit and it was eye opening. We gave generously although it should be a paid activity so the locals get paid for their generosity. It's a very beautiful and down to Earth resort. It's not as flash as other resorts but there's a real family feel.

    Yasawa perfection.

    Sadly we had a couple of days of big swell which meant the reef was closed to snorkelling, boat based activities were shut down and our planned mountain hike was cancelled. Just bad luck, and while I was happy to swing in my hammock, it would have been amazing if some alternative activities were available for the teens. An organised Volleyball match and crab racing was a highlight.

    This absolutely ticked all our Yasawa dreams. Compact, beachfront, stunning reef literally steps away from our bure. Friendly staff and a good range of activities to keep us occupied when we weren’t swinging from our hammock under a coconut tree. Highly recommend the beachfront bure. And the fishing trip with Asava. And the village visit.

    Quite expensive - especially for simple additions like kids wanting more to eat and for last meal which was going to be $50/ person for a pizza. Felt like it could have been handled better after spending thousands

    Loved it - great spot very lovely reef and beach

    You opt in to the compulsory meal plan, which makes the trip significantly more expensive. The meals were delicious and there was a lot of choice on the a la carte menu at breakfast, lunch and dinner. It’s totally understandable why the resort does this but you do end up eating a lot more food than you need (especially in such heat).

    The resort is on beautiful Waya Island at the South end of the Yasawas. A shuttle transfer picked us up in Nadi and took us to the port where the resort boat was waiting. The trip out took one hour and we were transported to white sandy beaches and turquoise waters

    The online booking forms would’ve been very convenient for booking in activities and massages but they weren’t working at the time we were there. We booked a massage and turned up but they didn’t have our booking.

    This place had everything, we just wish we could have stayed longer! Friendliest staff, fun activities and stunning scenery.

    I booked a bungalow, staff tried to put me in a dorm. Took my luggage to the dorm then I had to wait one hour and ask twice to get my luggage taken out of someone else’s dorm and bought to my room. It took the shine off my arrival but was the only negative issue for my whole stay.

    Diving shop and operators exceptional. Particularly Drilli. Most staff were wonderful some others appear to be failing it in.
