great resort for kids
Thoroughly recommend Plantation Island Resort for a family holiday. Perfect distance from the mainland - 45 minutes on the Maololo Cat. Beautiful reefs for snorkelling, great kids club with varied activities, plenty of dining options, various pools to explore. Friendly and warm staff and clean rooms. There's something for everyone.
Plantation resort is a nice place that's well kept and super friendly staff.
FIJI operates on island time so food/drink orders need to be well in advance.
Food options are somewhat limited but research before you go (eg. we were unaware the main pool had it's own lunch menu with items unavailable elsewhere & Copra does a lunch menu outside the buffet) There are some new outlets opening soon also.
Air con works great, water activities are great.
From the moment we arrived until we left the island paradise of PIR we where made to feel welcome. The friendly staff are what makes PIR so great. My daughters favourite place was the kids club and the staff there where so caring. We stayed in The garden room was clean and spacious, cold aircondintion, (a little dated with the floor tiles but nothing to spoil the stay) the half meal package was the best idea as we really didn't have to worry- buffet breakfast was fantastic and plenty of variety in all meals for gluten free. Can't wait to see the new renovations when we come back. Vinaka
Awesome family spot! 4 pools, 3 restaurants, multiple kids activities...made it a dream for our family of 5!
This is a great resort for families. My 2 kids aged 7 and 11 had a wonderful week there. Always some sort of activity to do whether it be kids club or free water sports, snorkelling, sailing, crab and frog races. We tried everything.
Beautiful beaches, sunsets, great activities, wonderful kids club, friendly staff and all round good times had on Plantation Island Resort.
We had a wonderful time at Plantation Island. Our Garden Bure was in the perfect location, a short walk to Copra Buffet, pool & beach.
The bure itself needs some maintenance & some pest control measures, however it did not dampen our stay.
Would definitely recommend friends and family to stay, and are even considering making it our yearly trip. The staff were fantastic and really make your family feel welcome.
Totally relaxed on Plantation Island… stunning location with crystal clear water and fun water activities for all the family
Plantation Island was everything we could have hoped for and more. The staff were beyond wonderful and the grounds and accom were perfection. We stayed in a 2 bed garden room and it was clean and comfortable.
Food was good, service sometimes slow but you're on Fiji time so it doesn't matter.
100% would go again. Just magic.
Whilst we had a good time and appreciated kind staff and enjoyed the buffets as well as kidsclub and complimentary water activities, we really would love to see improvements in the following areas:
- the ability to take bikes outside of the resort as it would be nice to explore the island.
- provide a cupboard so we can hang shirts and dresses (room 288 didn't have one).
- ensure meals are consistent, including delivery time and quality
- provide simpler breakfast choices like toast with spread as that's what most kids eat.
- simplify the 'kids eat free' program and ensure your staff understand the rules. On arrival we couldn't get into Tavola and were forced to eat at snack hut. Staff could have advised us that our child could have eaten for free at kidsclub.
- teach your staff to handle pressure. It is very frustrating to be told restaurants are booked out for our preferred dining time when we could clearly see the restaurant is only a quarter full.
- Please offer another affordable dining space with asian inspired cuisine so we're not eating the same things in Tavola all the time. We didn't visit Black Coral as the price you pay for steak you have to cook yourself is simply too expensive.
We had an amazing week. So family friendly, so much to see & do, our kids LOVED kids club, so we got some R&R. We will be back!
From the time we arrived we stepped straight into island time in paradise. Everything was awesome, the breakfast buffet was brilliant as was all the food venues, yep we tried the lot. The live shows, the kids club cannot fault a thing and the staff are the friendliest people on earth. We will be back
The staff were wonderful . The water warm and crystal clear . Wonderful snorkelling and 4 pools to choose from . Very impressed with their coral planting trial .
Have stayed here many times and ALWAYS enjoy our stay on this tropical island paradise. The restaurants are great, the activities and free paddle boards, kayaks, hobbycats etc. The entertainment is great as well, musicians, crab races, million $ kids club etc.
You can't beat the Fijians for friendliness and service. Ideal place for families to enjoy
Incredible!
The diversity of restaurants available ensured our fussy little eaters were well catered to, whilst we were able to enjoy a variety of meals.
The abundance of activities provided, directly by the resort and third-party operators based on the resort, are very well serviced and caters to everyone of all ages.
All the staff were fantastic; Very inviting and friendly, which is complimentary to how well the resort is run.
Highly recommended to anyone looking for a relaxing / action packed family holiday, and anything in-between.
We took our grandchildren ages 8 and 7. They had lots of activities to do and enjoyed the flexibility of Kids club, as did we.
The food was priced well but I felt 7 days was a good length of time. The buffets didn't really appeal to me but seemed to be well populated.
The room was great and couldn't fault the staff.
We had a fantastic stay and can't wait until we go back! My only recommendation would be to let people know they need a minimum of three days there, we definitely didn't have long enough.
The buffet did not represent good value. The meals at the Tavolo were better and more affordable.
Fantastic holiday destination for families with lots of activities for everyone. The resort was a little tired and could do with a revamp but the true Fijian culture and beautiful people made our stay wonderful.
We loved our holiday at Plantation Island Resort.
We were lucky enough to be upgraded to a water front room which was great.
The Coconut Kids Club was great, fun and creative activities during the day and movies at night.
The staff were so friendly and welcoming.
Just bloody excellent, great food great location and reasonable pricetag
A perfect place for families
We had an amazing, relaxing holiday - which was exactly what we needed.
The location is amazing…and the staff warm and friendly.
4 pools plus inflatable waterpark. Lots of walking on soft sand, not too good for pushing prams or riding a bike, or for those with mobility issues. All facilities are spread out which spread out the people so it didn't appear that busy even though it was school holidays, restaurants are not that big and you need to book a table a few days in advance, buffet was good with a different theme everyday, food and drinks were expensive, take snacks with you. Lots of activities to do with kids club. Not many places with aircon and it was 32 degrees each day in April.
Great family vacation!
Lots of activities for the kids - kids clubs, various pools, inflatable fun in the ocean, snorkeling, touch footy and many more.
Another mirror outside of the bathroom would be nice. New pool furniture and menu options
I would describe plantation island as having the best parts of a cruise on a tropical paradise! Great pools, water sports, restaurants, kids club and staff. Make sure you book your dinners when there as it gets busy, otherwise grab a delicious pizza and eat on the beach. Kids club meals were great for the kids 5 and 3 and we either left them there or took them to the 6.30 area to watch their event before they either stayed with us or went and watched the movie. Did the village and sand bank snorkel and both were easy to book and enjoyable. The room was super large and spacious! Buy snacks/drinks/food and bring over from the port to have nibbles for kids.
This was our second visit to Plantation Island after first visiting in 2018. The resort had improved considerably since then and it was great to see managements commitment to continuously improving the resort. We lashed out on a Beachfront Bure on this occasion and it was worth every cent in our opinion. You just can't beat mother natures beauty and to be able to open your door in the morning and take a few steps out of your room to go snorkelling was an experience of a lifetime. The staff were beyond amazing as always. We loved the singing that would be accompanying every meal. It really added to the magic. Would go back again in a heartbeat.
A fantastic holiday for the family.
Black coral restaurant was great ,
Chef in morning buffet is amazing
Great family friendly resort. Meals are expensive though kids eat free. Rooms mostly good though we did have some issues which were resolved. The people there are lovely and made it an enjoyable stay.
This was our 1st time overseas and it did not disappoint
the staff are amazing and so friendly, the activities are great and great
choose of meals, would recommend and will be back
Really wonderful trip. Glad we went of peak season because I imagine it would get busy. I liked how relaxed, playful and easy everything was. Buffet blast and dinner with 3 teenage boys was wonderful. Activities run. Pools and hang out spots great too.
We just love it great family holiday and they remember you
The location was great for snorkeling. The transfer from mainland was smooth. The staff were very friend even when faced with terrible weather conditions. We would go back again.
Plantation Island is a fabulous establishment with great and friendly staff. We have been there quite a few times and still enjoy it. Swimming is great for adults and children. I recommend Plantation Island if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. w
We had the most wonderful time, even though it was raining like crazy and only got one sunny day. Massive shout out to the activities guys for keeping us laughing, singing and dancing!
A difficult time for the island as most of it was underwater, but the staff handled it well kept things humming.
My dad had an excellent 70th Bday - we will be back!
We made right choice with PIR. Location is outstanding. Very beautiful island with a lot of trees, very green. A lot of free water activities, my 5 yo loved kids club. Our 2 bedroom garden bure was clean and tidy and just 50 m from the beach.
Hope we will be back one day
We had an amazing time at this resort! We were there during the raining season and it was true to its word, rain and overcast every single day! However, this resort and the staff made our stay amazing regardless! Almost all activities still went ahead as usual, and if they couldn't they would do their best to make amendments to make it happen another way just as good! The food was great, the room was great, super spacious and beds were fairly comfortable. The staff were all amazing from restaurant, to admin to housekeeping. Our kids loved the kids club and begged to go everyday - this is a godsend especially during bad weather so you're never stuck with bored children! Overall we really enjoyed our stay, will definitely be back and highly recommend this resort to both families and non-families!
We spent a week on Plantation Island in early March 2024, we have been there many times and return because of the value and the culture. The staff are brilliant. The resort continues to invest with ongoing refurbishment. We swam, snorkeled on the sandbar and Joes Farm (which is spectacular), fished and dived. What more do you want!
I haven't been this relaxed in a long time
Second visit. Love it here. We will be back
Everything was great however the food and drink options were limited and expensive.
heavenly
This resort ticks all the boxes.
This was a great holiday destination for families, there was so many fun activities for the kids and the kids stay and eat free deal was such a money saving!
The resort itself was close to the mainland and quick and easy to get to!
The facilities at the resort were a little rundown in some areas, our room could do with a revamp but it was clean and all the amenities worked (and we were too busy all day to spend any time in it, so we really were only in it to sleep)
The Fijian staff at the resort were absolutely beautiful and nothing was too much for them!
The food at the buffet was good, but by the end of a week we were a bit over buffet breakfasts! The food at black coral was delicious! Absolutely recommend it!
your after a holiday at an island resort that will keep everyone in the family happy this is definitely the spot for you!
The location of this island is hard to beat. You can hire the bikes to get around the island which makes the trip more fun (although some bikes are old).
The staff are very welcoming and friendly and the entertainment during dining is awesome. We had the breakfast buffet included. This is good for people who like to have a big breakfast and not have to eat again until dinner. Otherwise, breakfast off the menu is available at Tavola. The accommodation in beach Bure is basic but fine as it's the stunning view and being steps away from the beach that you pay for. There's inflatables for the kids and the hotel advised there are more water facilities coming for the bigger kids/adults mid this year. It would be of benefit for the resort to supply hand sanitizer and to ensure that everyone entering the buffet uses it. All in all, a great stay. We will be back
We are a family with small children and had a great time. Location is stunning.
Just the break we needed. Always something to do, beautiful island. Kids club was great.
Only downfall is dining options - you have to book your entire dinner reservations straight up so if you feel like something different that night you cannot change.
Buffet breakfast is great. Will be good when the ice cream and donut shop is open.
Going back
A 3 star resort in a 5 star location with plenty of activities and amenities to suit most people. We are a family of 5, with a mix of young children and teens. We have been to plantation island resort 4 times now and will return. The resort is actively renovating and adding in more services, and over the years we have been there we have seen a lot of improvements
We did the tours, including village tour, snorkeling, island hopping and surfing. We used the 4 pools, with the infinity pool at Tavola restaurant being our favourite. We stayed in a poolside room which was good, the room has been recently renovated and was more than comfortable. We also did snorkelling off the beach south of the jetty, we ate at all venues including sit downs at Tavola and Black Coral, as well as Buffet. Food was good quality.
The staff are wonderful, friendly and take time to talk to you if you take time to introduce yourself.
The resort offers a returnees cocktail party and other benefits like free wifi and room credit. We do plant to return next year
We are a family of 2 adults and a 2.5yo. This is our second time staying at Plantation Island Resort (first time with a child) and we enjoyed it even more this time around.
Despite a tropical cyclone coming past Fiji in the middle of our stay, the resort and all the staff handled it so well, keeping us informed and preparing the resort for the storm, we felt very safe. 24 hours after the storm the resort looked like nothing had happened, all the staff worked so hard for us, it was incredible.
We loved the Bula bikes, to ride around the island, the excellent selection of food, and the beautiful snorkelling just off the beach. They have a new "underwater museum" that you can swim out to, to see fish swimming amongst bicycles, tables and chairs, golf buggies and more - it's very quirky and a lovely activity.
We are already planning our next trip to Plantation Island.
We had an awesome family holiday at Plantation Island Resort recently. The water is crystal clear, the staff are so friendly and great at their jobs and the weather was perfect. We can't wait to return in the future
Such an incredible resort for our family holiday to Fiji. The facilities were amazing, the location stunning, the staff incredible and everything was all that we could have asked for. We are already planning our return!!
Absolutely awesome place to stay. Great for adults kids and families
We loved our time, the only thing I would say was the food wasn't great. Food was also expensive
This was not my first trip to Plantation Island Resort so from the moment we arrived on the Malolo Cat transfer boat to the moment we left we had a wonderful time. Our room was lovely in the Beachfront Hotel upstairs which had a great view of the water and you could sit in the balcony and enjoy a wine after a day of swimming at the pristine beach or lovely pools. The staff are always a very happy bunch. We will be back in 2024.
Very friendly helpful beautiful island lots of things
to do highly recommend if you have children
Loved out holiday.
We felt very comfortable with my 14 y/o & 8 y/o at this resort. Plenty to keep them occupied whilst relaxing by one of the various pools/beaches. My only disappointment was the tired old Bure, they are in desparate need of a revamp. Staff and management all very accomodating.
The perfect slive of heaven to relax or keep action packed. Something for everyone. Staff are absolutely beautiful with children. 8 nights was not enough. We will be back!
Kids loved it, recommend for all families.
As we have come to expect plantation island is such a great place.
We had an awesome holiday and are already looking at re booking for next year
So much fun for ehole family. Catered for every need to keep adults and kids happy.
My son had to be taken late at night to hopsital after having 2 seizures. The medical staff and reception staff were very supportive and helpful throughout the whole ordeal. Organising transportation to and from the hopsital, as well as checking in on us. I am very grateful and will definitely be returning.
Everything about our stay here was perfection!!! Service, location, price, rooms…. Perfect family getaway location!
We had six grandchildren in our group from 2 to 10 years old and all enjoyed the food, accomodation and activities.
Only downside to my trip was someone decided they liked my thongs more than I did. Rest of stay was awesome. Great activities and Cloud 9 was outstanding
Great family holiday destination for families with kids from 4-12
the whole family will love it here
There is so much to do and everything you need is in the one resort. A great time for our family of 5. Garden terrace room was great for separating sleeping spaces in one room
Great for families
Our stay on Plantation Island was absolutely fantastic!! It has everything a family or even couple or individual could want. Island life, crystal clear water to snorkel straight off the beach, kayaking, paddle boarding, kids club (THE BEST!), nanny service, 3 restaurants and a pizzeria and mini mart! Endless activities and water sports, day trips out, CLOUD 9 (AMAZING!). Our kids didn't want to leave and begging to go back, we are already planning our next trip!!
We love Planation Island Resort- group of 9 (6 adults, 3 children aged 11,13 & 14). Kids loved the beach - in particular the water park, underwater museum, kayaks, stand up paddle boards and ski biscuit. The accommodation was simple but spacious, clean and comfortable. Loved that there are 4 pools to choose from so never too crowded. We enjoyed the food options, was great to have the two ala carte restaurants as well as the buffet options. Tours were easy to orangise and really added to the experience. Highly recommened for families looking for a large resort with plenty to do to keep the kids occupied!
Overall great
Would go back there again in a heart beat. Fiji people so lovely, friendly Happy. Couldn't do enough for us
We had a great time our kids aged 8 and 6 loved it were on ocean front highly recommend , only downside was the pillows in the room need to be upgraded,
Best place for families
Multiple pools, playgrounds, water activities and delicious breakfast. All the staff were so welcoming and lovely
We had an amazing time at Plantation Island. It was a great mix of relaxation and activity and perfect for our family.
We recently had a family holiday at plantation Island.
The activities for the kids were great, there was a variety of food available that ranged from pretty good to amazing. ( not much sea food though).
The staff were friendly and welcoming. The rooms were good, a little dated, but fully functional and have everything you need.
Only 2 minor issues, was when it rained, a lot of activities were cancelled. And despite attending the Bula bike shack every day, we were unable to hire a bike with a child seat, as a family holiday park, I thought there would be a few more than the 6 or so they had available.
Overall, we had an awesome holiday, and would return.
The staff at this resort are amazing.
The beach towels were thread bare and the pool table needs replacing.
Highly recommend
Wonderful staff, a perfect spot to relax
Great place to bring grandkids to -the kids club was great and the jumping castle kept them amused at other times
We will definitely be back to the island. We stayed in a beachfront Bure & it was just perfect for us & our little ones to be right there on the beach.
For it only being a 3 star resort I felt like I was staying in a 5 star. The people that work there are absolutely lovely. The water and snorkely around the island is awsome. Personally as a younger couple that went I would o ly recommend 5 -7 days. We stayed for 10 and towards the end was ready to go home.
Plantation Island resort is the perfect location for all. The activities and amenities are set up so that you can do as much or as little as you please. So comfortable and clean. Service was second to none. Brilliant resort and the staff are AMAZING!! Well done Plantation Island resort
Stayed week prior at a different resort on the mainland no comparison to plantation where everything was organised clean best service could tell staff naturally friendly and not their work persona the food was great and plenty of activities for all ages we stayed in garden Bure which was nice and tidy bed a little stiff but can't win them
All can't wait to return
This was a great family holiday allowing the kids some independence and freedom . We would love to return soon .
Plantation Island resort was amazing. Great location for families and lots of activities to do. I'd recommend the garden bure as accommodation as it was central to everything. Kids club was great and lots of fun things planned.
The food and drinks were expensive and you wouldn't mind paying the price if it was amazing food, however it wasn't anything flash. In saying that some meals were amazing when ordered from the menu but the buffet was expensive and the food wasn't anything special. Another challenging part we having to book a table in advance for dinners. The staff were lovely and the resort was so beautiful.
Plantation Island Resort is a 3 star resort on the absolutely stunning Malolo Island, perfect for families. Amazing snorkelling straight off the beach in beautiful crystal clear waters. PIR is not a luxury resort by any stretch, but is great for families who like to swim all day and then rock up to lunch or dinner in their swimmers! Food was OK - plenty of options, but it's not a 'foodies' resort. Kids 11 and under eat free with a paying adult, which helps keep costs down. There's a little shop on-site plus another bigger one in Muscat Cove next door, so we self-catered some breakfasts and lunches. We also hired bikes to get around which was great fun for the kids, although the bikes had seen better days! Staff were great, very friendly, amazing with kids. All in all, a wonderful family holiday and we hope to come back.
Amazing value and ideal for families.
PIR is the most amazing holiday I have had. You can chillax by the pool or participate in the many activities, tours and water sports on offer. It's great for everyone!
The Fijians are the most beautiful, humble and happy people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.
Accomodation was spacious and clean and the variety of restaurants was amazing.
We will be back!
Friendly staff, great activities and entertainment. Perfect for families.
Someone summed it up perfectly; its a 3 star resort in a 5 star location. The island, beaches and water is simply amazing. Im generally nervous in the ocean but the swim area felt so safe with its clear water, sandy edges and the roped off swim zone.
The resort is somewhat dated but you can see they are renovating some of the restaurants and common areas; The pools are cold and not that clean and the rooms are not serviced daily. But when you look at other resorts this place is exceptional value for money and we had a wonderful time. The resort gardens are stunning and the entire place is very picturesque.
plantation island resort is getting better and better, with new improved facilities beeing build to accommodate more shops, ice cream parlour and markets to come, very very friendly staff, feel safe , welcome and at the perfect place,
great for beach holiday, small strolls around the island, close to mololo reef for amazing snorkeling,
short island hopping to Malamala, Cast Away and other nearby Islands,or day trip to denerau/ nadi
can be a little too noisy sometimes when too many families with kids are visiting at the same time( school holidays)
Food is plenty ,great variety ,many dining options
can't wait to visit again
After being there for 25 times its a great spot
Such a fantastic holiday to Plantation Island. Highly recommended. So much to do and see. Staff were amazing and friendly. Kids had an absolute ball in kids club. We will be back again x
Very well set up for families. Our kids had a ball. We travelled in a group of 4 families and think this really added to the experience and how much fun we had
Family holiday location for sure. Was great loads to do
Great resort, definitely recommend booking the meal plans as makes it alot cheaper, loved the three restaurants including buffet breakfast and dinner, and the four swimming pools and beautiful ocean to swim in! Great for families as have lots of activities for kids too at the coconut kids club.
We had a fantastic week at Plantation Island. Location is amazing. Rooms and service were great!! Plenty of dining options.
It was not our first trip to the island but we had a great time with family and friends. The staff are always welcoming with their Bula smiles and we have already planned our next trip there.
Plantation Island Resort is an easy 50min ferry trip from the Main Land. Heaps of kids activities and a brand new kids club. Staff are wonderful. Food is ok, portions slightly small and similar prices to Australian Clubs.
Unfortunately the resort is 3.5 stars and is in need of maintenance in some areas. Bures are clean but basic. Beds and pillows comfortable.
Well priced, such pretty scenery, great to get around easily, happy staff throughly enjoyable
We were the older members of a family group with young grandchildren this resort was good for families not so much for older people
A couple of points, we had originally requested conjoined rooms in fact we had a room in between and having twin 6 year old twin boys it was not to good for the family in between us. We were a family of two grandparents our daughter with her three children. A little disappointing initially. Our air conditioner was not cooling blowing but not cooling. Reported three times over the week and was promptly attended to but not fixed, in my daughters it was a newer unit and worked well.
We stayed with 2 other families and all had a fantastic time! The rooms we stayed in were very basic, the pillows in the rooms were not comfortable at all, but the rooms had what we needed. We found the staff friendly and helpful. There were lots of activities to keep the kids entertained and we did a fair bit of snorkelling right off the beach. The view was amazing. Definitely recommend!
Plantation Island Resort was a perfect option for our family - value accommodation at a 5 star location, chilled relaxed vibe, decent facilities and activities, we'll be coming back for sure!
Recently stayed at Plantation Island and loved the time there...the staff and service is fantastic.
I think the buffet is too expensive as i certainly do not eat 45.00 worth of food for breakfast or 65.00 for dinner....
The Tavola restaurant was beautiful food but needs to have a few more dishes on their menu....still a great meal.
I would recommend it to families
Was an amazing resort. Water and location was beautiful.
The Fijian people are always happy and easy going.
The drinks and food service took the "no hurry, no worry" a bit too literal.
My 13 year old daughter was classed as an adult when eating at the buffet, but is not a big eater.
Overall we had a great time and would definitely go back.
Have stayed at plantation for a few holidays,the beds are uncomfortable they really to spend some money on this, then it would be perfection .
Our family holiday on Plantation Island was wonderfully relaxing and fantastic for our family. The resort caters well to families and you can do as much as you like or as little as you want. I would highly recommend Plantation Island Resort for a family holiday.
We really enjoyed our time at Plantation Island Resort. The resort itself is quite large that has everything you need for a comfortable enjoyable stay. I thought it was fantastic that there was a dedicated kids buffet restaurant that opened at 5.30pm so you could feed the kids early, which allows the adults to eat later on. The kids club had some great activities for the kids to enjoy. The water is crystal clear with lots of free water activities available at high tide. The staff are super friendly and welcoming.
Plantation Island resort is an idyllic location. Staff are generally very friendly and the facilities are good. The room was adequate, clean and well air-conditioned. Dining was ok and we had some nice meals, though the quality of the food in the buffet did not always reflect the high cost. There were plenty of activities for both kids and adults. Overall, our family had a very enjoyable holiday.
Thought the food at all restaurants was expensive. The drinks from bar took a while to come to table. The best restaurant by far was the new restaurant food was amazing better price but still took a while from order but staff were amazing.
We absolutely loved our stay at Plantation Island. The location is stunning. Beautiful sandy beaches and clear water. Plenty of sun lounges and hammocks to relax in. Great snorkelling around the jetty. The variety of pools were good. Friendly and helpful staff.
Our highlights are snorkelling, going on a booked activity to 'Shell Village' at a neighbouring island, hiring bikes and riding around the island, going on an organised sunrise walk to a look out and enjoying the stunning beach.
.
Everything about this stay was amazing. The care and attention we were shown was unlike anywhere I've ever been. The staff were the kindest people. My child had a great time with the nanny. The room was beautiful. The whole resort was cleaned and maintained perfectly. I couldn't recommend it more.
Another 2 weeks of rest relaxing and fun , great swimming , and food was amazing I cannot recommend this place highly enough , in act so much that I'm booked again to go in October . The staff are so helpful and obliging , nothing was a problem , and 3 options for dinner was so good .
We slept good , laughed a lot , read a couple books drank a couple of cocktails and slipped in a bit of fishing
Thank you for another wonderful family holiday you made us all feel so welcome and we can't wait to return!
Everyone in our family of 20 really enjoyed our stay at Plantation Island.
Our rooms where clean and spacious.
Service was fantastic and friendly.
The choice of resturants made eating variable.
All our needs were catered for to make this a very memorable holiday.
Set on a beautiful island full of palms, aquamarine waters, snorkeling right out the front of the beachfront bure, friendly and helpful staff. We went with a group of friends and their kids and bought the 1/2 board package, our biggest decision of the day was which restaurant we would dine in each night! Stress free, relaxing and so so much fun! My only criticism is that drink prices are a little high. Everyone had an awesome holiday and said they wanted to go back again
Although a family holiday I found it most enjoyable with the resort offering quiet places to rest away from the children. A perfect place for families.
The staff were extremely polite and helpful and very efficient with transfers.
Recommended.
Plantation Island Resort is positioned in a coconut tree lined paradise. The only thing more beautiful than the environment is the Fijian people. The resort caters for both adults and children. Travelling as a couple for surfing and snorkeling we were not disappointed and the extra resort activities filled the time gaps with space for an afternoon siesta. Admittedly, pool areas and restaurants were littered with families, which comes with it a bit of noise. But this is where the Plantation Island resort comes to its own. Its appears to be a haven for parents with children 4-12, as the kids club allows for plenty of activities and some parent-only time. As with all of Fiji, particularly in a captive resort, food is on the pricey, but budget well and you'll have an amazing holiday (Kids eat free! but food-board packages may not be your best option here). Extra curricular activities that involve boat trips may also be costly. Overall my wife and I loved it!
My daughter has Coeliac disease, so we were a little unsure about how the menu options and food choices she would have, as she is 12. The chefs did an amazing job, there were plenty of options to chose from, even a designated gluten free section in the buffet. Not even a hint of contamination which we were so worried about before the trip, it was so good.
Right from our welcome to the Island we felt so at home and enjoyed every minute of our stay. The room was clean and cool, kids club was awesome for the kids and there were so many activities to choose from if you wanted. We want to go back already!
Wonderful family resort
People are great
Plantation island was without a doubt the highlight of our trip. The staff are phenomenal and really build a relationship with you, especially with children. After one meeting they'll remember your name and after a week you'll feel like you are part of the family. We actually left there with the phone number of one of the staff so we could keep in touch, so was the bond that they formed with our family - particularly our daughter.
The water is clean, clear and picturesque. Food and drinks are a bit overpriced but nothing worse than any other resort. Our room was clean with plenty of room to spread out. We went the first few days walking everywhere but hired a bike after this and it was a great decision.
If you have kids, take advantage of the pizzas available until 5.30pm from the cafe next to the mini mart - this saved us hundreds of dollars rather than going to the buffet/restaurants each night - better yet pack plenty of snacks and 2 min noodles.
We will definitely be back!
Great place for families would have liked a TV for down time for the kids a, more selective menu would be good but overall a great place
My partner and I just returned from Plantation Island Fiji. The island in a perfect area with excellent service and all staff very helpful and happy however the meals and food from the on island store EXPENSIVE.
Great Location
staff were 6 star
Enjoyed family time in a relaxing atmosphere.
Great location and friendly staff. Great snorkeling off the beach but the deep snorkeling trip through the resort was a highlight for me. Loved being able to walk to the other resorts in the morning for my exercise. Food was ok we only did the buffet twice and mainly ate at Tavola.
Had a great time here but obviously still struggling since Covid. Really friendly staff but service was a little slow. Great snorkeling straight off the beach but did do the deep snorkel from the resort and was a fantastic experience and well worth the money 35 FJD$.
Having been here before I can say, with hand on heart; that staying at plantation Island resort is amazing. Wonderful for families and like us a retired couple. There is only one thing that I would say that was disappointing and this was the price of consumables and day trips. However saying that, the improvements they have made with the coffee shop, snack hut and mini Mart at Muscat Cove evened the food issue out quite well.
We love plantation Island and would definitely consider returning.
Wide scope on island recommended for quiet couples, singles. Families, caters for everyone.
We were very happy with our stay. The place is truly amazing. Really good food in buffet or restaurant. Kids loved it and adults too. The staff was super friendly.
Perfect resort for families. Comfortable clean and spacious rooms. Limited dining options but food was better than I expected. Beach is stunning. Staff a little weary after peak season but mostly friendly and helpful. Day trip to other islands close by was amazing.
Our beachfront Bure was positioned in the most beautiful setting. Waking up each morning to a WOW beach/ocean view, made our holiday one we will talk about and remember for a long time.
Screen door would be good to stop mozzies coming in
Fans under verandahs of accommodation would be a bonus
Had the best family holiday on plantation island island, it's an absolute slice of paradise. 3 star resort in a 5 star location. Kids club is outstanding! And the staff are the best
Plantation Island was an incredible destination for our family holiday. The staff were amazing and could not do enough for you. A special mention to Lela at Copra Restaurant who went above and beyond to make sure we had an exceptional dining experience every time. She was so friendly and welcoming and made us feel like super stars. Actually all staff were amazing from the dining staff, cooks, entertainment crew, water hut crew, activities crew and our beautiful house keeping lady. The activities were fantastic. I would highly recommend the inland tours to a Village as well as the dolphin safari snorkelling tour. The location is absolutely stunning, rooms were comfortable and clean and the facilities were fantastic. I would highly recommend Plantation Island to any family.
If you're looking for a postcard picture perfect beach, this is the resort for you. The water is crystal clear, the sane is white, just amazing. The infinity pool near the beach is also excellent. Some of the other pools could do with some cleaning. The buffet food always had good options. Bottled water was quite cheap here too. Nice clean rooms with air con that was nice and cool. Highly recommend this resort.
We loved it at Plantation. It is picturesque and the staff are incredible.
It's not cheap once you are there but the value packages do help with this.
The kids absolutely loved it. We have 4 kids between 10 and 6 and we only used the kids club twice as there is so much to keep them occupied and it's more fun to do as a family at this location.
The two times they did use kids club they enjoyed it, and so did we.
The perfect getaway for families. Additional travel time to the island with a 50 min ferry so factor this in to time and cost. Plantation Island staff are amazing, both kind and helpful. Rooms were cleaned every second day and were pretty roomy (our family of 5 coped well). Lots do do, snorkeling, kayaking, stand up paddle boards, inflatables, pools and beach swimming. Highly recommend.
We loved this island so much. From the moment we arrived, everything was just wonderful. Friendly staff, good food, relaxed atmosphere, lovely beach and lots of choices for swimming and walks. Would definitely retrun again!
Perfect north facing location.
You don't have to drive to catch the boat to see the dolphins, the island boats are already there for our convenience to catch, the little white church at the top of the hill is worth attending on a Sunday, large open spaces and clean. Bula bikes are great to hire to get you from your room exploring the island with the summer breeze in your face.
Bula bikes great way to ride around the island or from poolside room to restaurant. Dolphin trip, snorkeling trip, cloud nine all off our island by boat was so conveniently near. Church was great to visit.
The Resort was as expected for a 3-4 Star set-up.
Rooms need a TV and decent unlimited Wifi in this day and age.
Food was good and Entertainment fun.
Watersports were excellent - Diving and Snorkelling good.
We stayed at plantation island for 7 nights. There are 4 pools around the resort and the beach is beautiful toddler friendly.
There are 3 restaurants so we didn't get a food or drink package. The buffet breakfast was very nice but buffet dinner I don't think it's worth the money but still ok to do once or twice. The other restaurant much cheaper and yummy.
Drinks are expensive so we took our own alcohol bought duty free when we arrived but still bought cocktails here and there.
Mozzies are really bad I got attacked but my two children 4,11 wore mozzy bands $7 from the chemist and wore them the full trip and didn't get one bite so definitely worth it.
I also suggest taking your own beach towels as house keeping is every 2 days and they have afternoon sun showers so it's handy to have other towels. They also have great activities for the whole family to join in on and dj every night tell mid night. Staff are so friendly and helpful but take a little time in serving so remember to be on Fiji time and chill. Definitely take snacks from home as the kids get hungry while swimming and the mini mark is expensive but we still used it. I give this resort 4 stars and would definitely stay again because they kids don't get board as other resorts are a lot smaller.
Great for families.
Absolutely stunning location. Facilities were being improved and the potential is definitely obvious.
Staff lovely and helpful.
Would highly recommend to families and large groups of families. Soo much for kids to do.
We had the most amazing family holiday at plantation island. The location is so beautiful and the staff are so kind and friendly. There was so much to do and a variety of pools meant it never felt crowded. The ocean is clear beautiful and so lovely to swim in.
This was one holiday I did not want to ever finish. The resort was absolutely amazing and the location so picturesque. I stayed in a Beachfront Bure.. Waking up to those views daily were dream-like. These rooms appear to have been recently renovated so we're very fresh and clean and comfortable from the beginning. Housekeeping kept on top of their cleans in between my stay. That saying.. the staff throughout the entire resort in every role were nothing short of beautiful.. so friendly and helpful. Food was very tasty with different themed buffets every night for variety. À la carte restaurants made for a very nice and slightly fancy alternate. (I would definately recommend a pre-purchased meal plan as meals could get expensive without one). Drinks can also add up if you like spirits or wine so would also recommend bringing some with you to help ease that cost but other than that.. there were plenty of things to keep both adults and kids alike busy and entertained throughout the stay. I've never been to Fiji before but with an experience like this.. it definately won't be my last.
For 9 glorious days, no phone or emails, just plenty of sun, relaxation the FIJI style by the pool or sunset by the bay with family and friends.
This resort is fantastic value for money. They staff are extremely helpful and friendly. Great place for families. I felt like I had been there for a month. Absolutely amazing holiday.
We had a wonderful time at Plantation Island. Showcases all Fiji has to offer. Beautiful tropical setting with palm trees, swimming pools & restaurants & we really enjoyed the activities & night time entertainment. We stayed in the new hotel accommodation which was lovely. Bit noisy down that end at some points but nice none-the-less with a beautiful outlook, great aircon & a dining option close by. Adds quite a few additional guests to the island which made it a little more crowded & less intimate than our previous stays at Plantation. Either way we had a lovely time. Everything we hoped for.
The studio bure 303 was great and that view fantastic. As a senior couple, we would love to have a quiet pool to enjoy and for night activities with the kids not be to held
adjacent to the only bar. We did find the evening dining options very limited but appreciated the recent opening of the pizza cafe.
Something for everyone! Kids paradise! Great holiday for families. We went with a large group for 10 days and were the only ones with children (family of five) our bills all came in the same as the ones with no children. Free kids club, meals and activities. Great nightly entertainment and activities through the day. The staff at the island are super friendly and make your stay special. Highly recommend
Highly recommend
Absolutely loved our time at plantation Island resort, this was our 2nd trip our first being 5 years ago and alot of work has been done in that time we were really happy with the service we received and the amenities
Beautiful location, great service. Family friendly. Lots to do and see.
This is a wonderful resort for a family holiday. So much to do for everyone.
I have been to Plantation Island 20 times and it does not disappoint ever. The location and water are the best ever.
Great location, great people and service
My 3rd time to Plantation and it was great before, but even better now with the new pool and restaurant at Tavola. The food and drinks had also greatly improved! The staff are all so amazing and the location is five star! The accommodation is awesome and we will definitely be back again!
Bula Vinaka!
The staff were amazing
Fiji airways we highly recommend
Our second trip back to Plantation island. Great facilities, lots of activities for the kids and wonderful service. All the team are so friendly and welcoming, we will definitely be back again!!
We stayed with family friends. So much to do there and the staff are excellent - always friendly, smiling and helpful.
The Poolside rooms we had were connected by a door, large, and air conditioned. Recommend you get a food package with your meals included (check where you can eat for which meals - there are good options). Three of us are Coeliac and the gluten free options were excellent most of the time. The change of chefs on our last day was disappointing as our meal options became quite limited, however they did endeavour to meet our needs. Drinks are additional to the food package we had and are quite expensive (to be expected on an island). The Mini Mart was good for bottled water, although you can drink the water provided at the eateries and bars (not the tap water in your room, though).
The swimming pools and the beach were great. Fun games to play in the pool with the pool toys and balls. Many of the beach water activities were free and good fun in a large, designated area; they were supervised at a basic level where you can have plenty of fun but dangerous horseplay was stopped. Free hire of snorkels and fins.
The kids did not go to the teem club, but the kids club looked great with plenty of youngsters running up to the staff and giving them big hugs.
Good prices for day trip options. Would recommend the dolphin and snorkelling tours - they were excellent and the coral and reef snorkelling was amazing. The Island Hopper was average as the two other islands we visited were OK but the lunch, service and options were just not comparable with Plantation Island Resort; the snorkelling was good, though.
Overall, we would definitely return to Plantation Island Resort!
Our 10th time to the island. Amazing again. So much to do and good options for meals. We loved the tavola restaurant for lunch and dinner. Beachfront bures are the go. Awesome trips out to a reef and to see dolphins
If you want a real Fijian holiday on a resort I recommend Plantation Island. You have everything you need on the Island and the staff are amazing. It's my second time there and I will go back again.
Plantation Island was amazing. Such a beautiful spot with sensational views, friendly staff and lots of activities to keep the children entertained. We'll definitely be returned.
Staff seem very uninterested and severely under trained in hospitality.
Location is great but the resort is run down. No wifi as advertised. Constant booking for restaurants that are at times not available but still half empty. A number of times mistakes made in bookings for times and dates.
Forget kids club of a night. We were with a large group and half our kids came out crying as they're made to simply sit and watch a movie with delayed sound and can't play.
Virtually zero water pressure in room. Pool towels absolutely STINK when issued. Changed a number of times with same problem.
Check price of drinks... soda water in small glass $9FJD and still had to return it as flat.
Get a massage if you enjoy using the towels the previous customer had used and had their face all over. Not to mention therapists turning up 15 mins late and delivering an hour massage in 45 mins. Plus previous persons oil all over the table.
$750FJD fishing trip for 3 hours. Simply trawled the entire time with not so much as a nibble. The boat picked us up from wrong location so started 30 mibs late. Some disappointed kids that pretty much slept the whole trip due to boredom and nil interaction or explanations from guides
Water Park abysmal. Half of it was torn, the other half of the kids one was simply missing. Can only use in high tide so for most of the day it was out of action while we were there.
Reception had no idea or information on the golf course and its a loooong walk from the resort.
Pool lounges old and stained.
Definitely expect 3 star
It's the perfect place for families to actually check out and have fun together. 5 star location wasn't our first time and won't be our last time going.
Absolutely pristine warm waters, fantastic for snorkelling, beautiful pools, free use of snorkles, paddle boards, canoes and sail boats, good food with large servings. Dinner time had live music, the staff traditional dance and singing night was fantastic.
We have just returned from a 7 night stay at Plantation Island Resort and already eager to book the next holiday back there, all the staff were incredibly friendly, great food and wonderful atmosphere, loads of activities for kids and adults. Will be back soon!
Set on a great lagoon that has amazing snorkelling and coral regeneration by the team! Great dining options and loved being able to reconnect with hubby over dinner while the kids enjoyed kids club. Everyone was lovely and would highly recommend the place for families!!!
Loved every moment feeling homesick for Fiji today. We had the best Bure number 317, can't wait to go back. Lovely friendly staff and very laid back. Swimming in the pools and sea. Stunning location beautiful views and sunset I could go on all day.
Been to Plantation island resort before. Pandemic was hard on them. But they are back and welcoming everyone. Some upgrades and plans for the future. Absolutely wonderful for all age kids. Terrific for kids to leave technology behind and enjoy old fashion fun.
We loved every minute of our stay. Staff were so friendly and happy. So much to do and had so much fun
Upon arrival we were taken a back by the crystal clear turquoise water and palm lined white beaches, simply breath taking! My family enjoyed every minute on this beautiful island. I highly recommend booking a Beachfront Bure, stepping out to the beautiful beach and warm crystal clear water was what dreams are made of. Rooms were simple but with super views and were comfortable and clean. The pools were good, the ocean was the best for swimming, and all the free activities (snorkeling, paddle boarding and kayaks) were great! Our family enjoyed the cooking classes, medicine tour, and sunrise hike, shout out to IZZY for making that so much fun! The buffet was not for us (very noisy and food only just above average), so we dined everyday (breakfast/lunch/dinner) at Tavola and the food there was unbelievably good, a special shout out to Annie for making each visit as good as it could be. Highly recommend the Bula Bikes for your stay, my husband and I were taken back to our childhoods cruising around the resort on our bikes from here to there and back again. We did not opt into the WIFI and with no TV we were forced to switch off, unwind and just be a family enjoying fun in the sun. A great place to stay and enjoy the simple things in life! Vinaka Plantation x
Can't recommend plantation island resort enough. We ate like kings, relaxed by the pool or beach (cocktails galore) fun for the kiddlets.. would definitely go back.
Definitely a family friendly place, if you don't want to be around kids maybe not the place for you but definitely still good for couples.
The only thing which could have made it better (suggestions only) was if our group were put together. We booked together but the 3 families where spread out over the resort and it's a big resort so made it hard to get together once the little ones in bed even though we booked together. Last time I stayed we were together and it made it much easier. The other thing is there is no option to eat around the pool areas you have to get dressed and go to one of the restaurants which sometimes the kids just wanted to stay, I also would have definitely spent more if someone walked around offering drinks whilst we were at the pool areas… we had a great time and it is an amazing place to stay
A great island getaway designed for families. Kids Club is great and allows parents to enjoy the other great dining and water activities
Plantation Island is a beautiful place to visit and so relaxing do as much or as little as you want. Its a good size island. Beautiful walks from Lomani end of the island to Musket Cove. They have only been open since April 2022 because of the pandemic so they are not quite there yet, the food and service was better prior but that did not impact us too much, we where just happy to be there again. Thank you to the beautiful staff a Very Special Thanks to Ravindrau your amazing ..... and hope to meet up with you again next time.....Vinaka !
We stayed in 2 of the new hotel rooms which are located right on the water front with our 4 children (2 x 8 year olds 2 x 11 year olds). Despite being concerned that we didn't have a bure which is more suited to families it worked out well as our kids were just about old enough to be in the same room without adult supervision.
Rooms were great, clean, well equipment and styled in nice modern décor. they have a fridge and tea and coffee making facilities. We had an absolutely fantastic time - the resort had so much to keep the kids entertained and the environment felt very safe and secure. The kids club was a bit young for our kids - but they loved the evening entertainment. We did a few snorkelling and 1/2 day trips to the reef or other islands which were fantastic value and really enjoyable. The water sports were fantastic and I really cannot complain about how easy it was to have a relaxed family holiday in an idyllic setting. I would absolutely recommend and would go again.
There is a new pool area at the Tavola restaurant which has an infinity style pool which is great to watch the sunsets and is very nice. The other pool areas are a little dated so we didn't spend much time there (we didn't need to with the waterfront being right on our doorstep and the inflatable water park in the ocean which our kids loved)
Food was fantastic value - certainly not super high quality but pretty good and I was surprised at how good it was when the kdis were eating for free. Our family enjoyed the buffet and there was great variety in the evenings. Our kids loved it.
All in all a fantastic holiday. Thanks Plantation Island.

We are long-time returning customers and obviously love Plantation and everything it has to offer. A few comments as follows.
Positives:
- The buffet dinners at Copra were amazing, definitely an improvement in food quality since previous visits
- Service is amazing as always
- The Chef at Copra cooked us a fresh fish that we caught which was amazing!!
- snorkelling tours were incredible
Negatives:
- Very disappointing that you cannot ride bikes down through Musket Cove to make use of the facilities down there.
- Very disappointing that you cannot sail the Hobie Cats outside the enclosed area anymore
- Upgrades required to the deckchair areas at the main beach in front of activities bure, there's never enough deck chairs
Our family enjoyed our stay at Plantation Island. The restaurants were great. Water sport activities were terrific and the staff extremely friendly. No wifi was a surprise.
Absolutely loved our stay and holiday. Location amazing, staff so nice and happy, activities fun and plenty of them. Best holiday we have ever had.
Throughly enjoyed our stay and most of the staff were amazing. Loved Sammy and Izy.
Loved every minute, great location and facilities for families with young to teenaged kids. The tours are fun and add to the awesome Fiji experience.
We could not speak highly enough about Plantation Island Resort. The perfect location for families, with many many kids activities, gorgeous beaches & crystal clear water. The staff were wonderful, and very friendly. 3 restaurants onsite, and the food was very nice. Slight issue with the new kids club location (which hosts the kids buffet meals) being quite far from the main adults buffet location. But I'm sure they will iron out these issues. Very smooth process from airport, to the partner hotel (The Gateway), transfers to the marina, and then onto the island.
We'll be back ASAP!
Plantation Island is just magical. There is something for everyone, whether it be relaxing by one of the pools or participating in one of the many activities. The food was delicious and a wide variety of choices. The staff were so friendly and helpful and the weather was just divine.
Just back from 8 days at PIR. Our kids loved the activities and kids club and freedom to roam barefoot! We loved the laidback feel and friendly staff and location, plus tour options. The beach, lagoon, snorkelling, all surpassed our expectations, its a stunning spot and I miss the view! Food expense does add up very quickly and the quality is hit and miss. Plus there is a bit of a smell wafting in the boat shed area at times, but these were our only complaints. Loved the nightly entertainment, loved that water sports were free, loved the village and snorkelling tours. And staff make the experience so special with their friendliness and interaction. We'll be back!
Casual resort where families with young kids will have a great time with the four different pools. The activities were great. Unfortunately, food was average otherwise had an enjoyable time overall.
this was our 4th time to PIR and we just love it! Their new infinity pool was amazing, with a great little restaurant. The small renos they had done during covid made it look fresh and crisp.
But its the vibe we love! Laid back chill, relaxing, family fun. The BEACH amazing, stuck on an island, i think not! So much to do - snorkel, water park, kayak, paddle board, sand castles, pools, activities center.
Hands down the BEST FREE KIDS club in Fiji
Great staff - just need more of them post covid.
Will return a 5th time!!
Plenty of activities for young families, snorkelling straight off the beach, and enough dining options to keep things interesting. The rooms were spacious, and well maintained, and clean, with comfortable bedding. The staff were great, very helpful, and always welcoming
Fantastic family holiday, weather was awesome, staff are so friendly and helpful. plenty of activities to do, and relaxing time, would recommend to any family.
What a fantastic Resort for families with children of all ages. Loads of activities throughout the day to keep children occupied with very friendly staff always willing to help.
Food was amazing, with plenty of choices each themed night at the copra restaurant. I would advise to pre-book at least half board meals or full board as meals and drinks can be expensive if not on a plan.
Our only dissatisfaction was the slow service at the Tavola restaurant.
The snorkelling is great either off the beach at the museum or on the daily boat trips.
Overall I would definitely recommend this resort, we were very sad to leave and will absolutely be going back.
Plantation Island has something for everyone. From Kids Club for the younger family members, to the water Park for the older and Teens (as well as Mum and Dad), the multiple pools, to the aquarium like snorkeling, and gorgeous sunrises and sunsets, or simply enjoying one of the 3 different culinary experiences, or walks along the beaches, this place has it all. Most importantly though, the Fijian staff are always friendly, welcoming and helpful. I loved this place and aim to return again
Second visit, so welcoming. Staff are amazing. Plenty to do on the island. We have 3 children and we all really enjoyed our stay.
Our second time at PIR. The staff are amazing, friendly, helpful and very caring towards all guests. The food this time was a little lacking. The rooms were only cleaned every second day so the floor and towels became very dirty due to wet feet etc. Bin was overflowing by end of each day. Love the place though.
From the day we arrived, staff was very helpful and accommodating.
We enjoyed every moment of our time there. Made friends with a lot of the locals.
I would strongly recommend Plantation Island to any family travelling with children.
One of the best experiences I have ever had travelling overseas.
Happy family.
Plantation Island Resort, perfect for our family. So many activities to do, snorkeling, swimming, surfing, coral planting, fish homes, water park, kayaking, stand up paddle board and relaxing. The staff are amazing and so helpful. We will be back again. Best sunsets.
as a single traveller, i never felt left out,
plantation island staff is super friendly , always accommodating… plenty of activities to do!
great location! for visiting the Reef, cloud9.. or just swimming or relaxing!.. or a day trip with the ferry to Nandi!
although this resort had mostly families with kids staying there.. i had no problems with that
my ocean view room was specious and very clean! Food was avarage but plenty(3 Restaurants)
the Grounds are kept clean!
i cant wait to come back again
Beach was beautiful. People were amazing
Our favourite family Fiji resort so far!
Resort is on a beautiful island, staff are fantastic, will definitely stay there again.
Such an amazing destination for families
This place is perfect for families. The resort is undergoing some construction and some rooms and facilities need upgrading but the beach and pools are great. Snorkelling is amazing, weather was perfect, food was good, coffee good.
I barely saw my kids as they were off on their own a lot, place is safe and bula bikes are great.
Note this is NOT a 5 star resort. But you have everything you need.
Will def be back.
Couldn't recommend plantation island more. It's unique, picturesque, friendly, activity filled, entertaining for kids and adults and relaxing too. Everything you need is at your fingertips. Staff are so friendly and accommodating, we've made some good friends. We keep coming back and will continue to do so. Even with babies or toddlers, the babysitters are a perfect addition for giving parents some time out to relax too.
Food is a little expensive when it all adds up however to be expected given you are on an island but if you can buy a full board in your package its worth it and saves you alot.
Only downside is you can no longer ride the bikes all the way through the island now, Musket Cove have banned plantation bikes and lomani no longer allows adults for dinner from plantation. That aside it won't stop us from recommending the resort and coming back in the future. Best memories memories made right here.
Fantastic place to take the family - lots to do
Only criticism is not having a place to exchange beach towels, and would be great to daily information available all in one place with all restaurant menus/dining options in the rooms
Friendly Fijians, fantastic reef snorkelling, fabulous pools. Food was great and our pool room accommodation, only 15 steps from our door, was a big hit with the grandchildren (and us), too. We loved the hot weather (and the aircon in the room for comfort, fans at night). All in all a wonderful week away in a tropical paradise.
Although I haven't been to Planation Island Resort since march 2020 as its been closed with the world , I am more than happy to give review. Our trip was stress free, great place to switch off and enjoy the scenery, the quietness, the location is magical and the staff are so friendly and obliging, they are more lie family. Do not hesitate to take your family or just yourselves to this resort , plenty of things to do , kids club, snorkeling ,swimming , kayaking, a water park ,fishing and golf , plus many more.
I would recommend Plantation to anyone with young - middle aged kids. A real holiday for everyone in the family. We are booked to go back (when Fiji opens)
We stayed at Plantation Island for 7 nights (2 adults and 3 kids - 8 and under) and had the most amazing holiday. From the moment we stepped off the boat we were made to feel welcome. All staff were very friendly and went above and beyond to make our stay fantastic. The 2 bedroom Garden Bure was brilliant as well as all of the facilities. The kids loved all the activities and enjoyed making new friends.
I can definitely recommend eating at the Black Coral Restaurant. The staff were very lovely and the meals were amazing. The play equipment nearby meant that as soon as the kids had finished their meal they could play and we could enjoy a very relaxing meal together.
We are already looking at booking another holiday to Plantation Island. We returned to Australia very relaxed and feel that it was our best family holiday so far!!!!!
Loved every minute staying here. Such a lovely place to have the privilege of staying at. Wonderful, friendly staff.
This is our 6th trip to Fiji and our first to Plantation Island Resort - and certainly not our last to Plantation Island Resort. The Beachfront Bure was incredible!!!! To be able to take 15 steps and be in the water watching the incredible sunset was priceless. The kids club, activities and sensational snorkelling options were truly amazing and well worth making the most of. Meals were of a very high quality - we had the best Chilli Mud Crab we have ever had in our extensive travels around the world!!! Take your camera and plenty of SD cards - there is much to take home as memories.
Beachfront bure was amazing, lovely staff, great facilities for kids, plenty of variety of food
Our family of 4 recently travelled to plantation island for a holiday. My two children 8 & 5 had a wonderful time... there was plenty to keep them occupied from dawn to dusk. The rooms were immaculate with modern touch. The buffet meals were perfectly presented with loads of options for the fussy eaters of the family! The staff were amazing with a friendliness that made it easy to just enjoy the stay!
I would recommend a visit here with all aged families.
An older resort in a great location. Great for families, esp. the kids. Good facilities with very friendly staff.
Beautiful place, beautiful people.
Checking in was well organised and simple.
Our room was only metres from the beach.
We visited early February. Mornings and evenings were nice, it did get pretty hot through the middle of the day, air conditioned room allowed an escape from the heat.
Buffet breakfast was great, evening meals in the Tavoli restaurant were excellent - not a lot of options for lunch.
Prices were reasonable.
The resort is spread out - the Bula bikes are the way to go to get around.
Mololo Cat ride to and from the island was fun - about 50 minutes.
We had a great time on the island. Our kids were either eating, biking, playing or swimming.
Our stay was awesome. 5 star treatment.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay especially with our twin 7 year old grandsons whom we care for full time
Perfect place to take your family. Lots to do for the kids from bike riding, inflatable water park and kids club. Food was great, and liked that they had different restaurants to eat at. Staff were amazing and really go above and beyond. Great facilities.
.
Absolutely amazing in all ways!
Very relaxed and amazing location.
