This is a place to go to relax.
23rd Oct 2017
Only disappointment was they had no leis to present us with upon arrival. The staff were friendly and very helpful also. I would recommend this place to stay. The upshot was no technology which made for a relaxing few days.

Very relaxing, wonderful hosts.

The Fijian people are what make the stay special. They get paid pittance but work tirelessly to make your holiday a special one.
We didnt do the food package offered and saved considerable $. The food was basic but delicious. There is no where close by to buy other meals so are committed to Resort. Purchase nibbles and soft drinks from supermarket on the way.
The transfers are too expensive and can be done much cheaper by bus or local taxi.
Duty free alcohol is a great way to save money and Resort is happy to provide ice.
We loved the privacy of Crusoe's and the fact it's a small Resort.
Would definitely go again.
