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.
Had a great time, fabulous friendly staff, will miss this special place.
A beautiful place to take your family young or old. Lots to do if you please or little if you choose not. Lots of choices of day trips at affordable prices from Plantation itself. Choices for dining for dinner were excellent. Staff very accommodating, pleasant and happy.
We were a little away from the pools,dining areas etc, could have been some seats to rest along the way,especially for older people.
Amazingly friendly staff, great food, the room was everything we needed and clean. I reccomend getting the full board as it's quite expensive of you dont, drinks are pricey too. Full board def value for money. All activities were great would def go back
Beautiful location perfect for people wanting to relax with blue waters take a step back from the busy world and enjoy time with friend and family . Rooms were generous size . Buffet breakfast was good . We enjoyed walking to Musket cove to enjoy food from there cafe of a night time . Kids club was super friendly and fun . Overall we definitely want to come back 10/10 for us .
Our first trip overseas as a family. Plantation island exceeded our expectations. We had a 3yo, 9yo and 10yo. Heaps of families and kids.
Yes the property is dated but it satisfied all our needs. We did full board, which is definitely recommended. We didn't leave the island for entire stay. Snorkelling right in front of you.
We will definitely go back to Fiji and would definitely consider plantation island.
Plantation Island was a wonderful place to holiday with kids. We had 6 adults and 4 kids in our group and had the most amazing time. The water is spectacular, the staff are so friendly. Plenty of kids activities, they had such fun at kids club. We will be back!
Plantation Island Resort is a great place for kids with a sandy beach and loads of pools and kid friendly facilities.
Adults can snorkel on the reef which can be reached from the beach or walk around the island.
Some improvements with separating smoking from areas from non smoking areas are needed. The manager helped us out with this, thanks Ravin.
Loved every minute.... such a beautiful location, cannot wait to go again
We have just been on our second holiday to PIR. We had to stay longer this time (10 days) as the week we stayed before was not long enough.
We felt like we were home again on the Island. The staff greeted and looked after us as we were family.
The new upgrades and restaurant were fantastic and the old charm was still there as well.
Planning our next trip already. Safe for children and the views are magnificent.
We stayed here to attend a wedding ceremony. We were 2 adults without children and found it to be similar to staying at a camp ground. We were woken each morning by kids. Would have appreciated having other adults as neighbours instead. Thought the main buffet was expensive and offered the same food options each night. Enjoyed the neighbouring Musket Cove facilities and would stay there given a second opportunity.
You cannot fault the staff and service at Plantation Island - It is a 3.5 star resort, so if you are looking for that clinical, businesslike feel of a hotel, this resort is not the place to go. The staff get to know people by name and greet them with a big "BULA!" wherever you are on the island.
Food is great, with options from buffet meals (different buffet each day) to a la carte dining at either the Tavola or Black Coral restaurants. For an adults only night, there is also the option of walking around to the restaurant at Lomani.
Activities are available, most of them free! Paid activities like the snorkelling trips or trip to the nearby village and school are all reasonably priced. There is also activities for kids and teens, so they can take a break from their parents!
Highly recommend Plantation Island Resort for families of all ages!
That was our third trip back to plantation island. We always have the best time. This time we stayed in the new Ocean View Hotel. Great location to the Tavola Restaurant. Which is yum! All the food has stepped up a few notches!. Very impressed. Planning our trip back next year already!.
We could not rate Plantation Island more highly for its wonderful facilities and activities. We stayed in the brand new Oceanview rooms. These were clean, spacious and well appointed. They had direct location on the beachfront, and were close to the beautiful new pool, restaurant and bar. There were endless activities for kids, many of them free of charge. Food was fresh and plentiful, and we felt the whole resort was more family friendly than some of the nearby, and more expensive resorts.
We traveled with 2 young children and Plantation Island Resort was a perfect place to stay. The staff were fabulous and the food was plentiful. We loved the option of swimming in the ocean at high tide or any one of the pool in the resort.
When travelling back home we stayed on Denarau Island for a few nights, to break up what would have been a long trip home.
Next time we will most likely stay on Denarau before and after going to Plantation Island.
We had a family of 15 people ranging in age from 4 to 70, it was a perfect setting for everyone to enjoy.
Lovely athmospher and friendly staff.
Thank you to both the Tour Operator and all the staff at Plantation Resort. We had a fabulous break - so relaxed and easy.
Transport to and from Island was excellent as well.
Overall an awesome experience with the highlight being the Dolphin sighting :-)
Thank you
We had a very realxing fun time. Lots of water activities and could do as much or as little as we wante
We had a group of 3 families (6A & 6K) staying together. The island offered something for everyone. Never a shortage of things to do and see, however plenty of time to relax and unwind as well. The food, the people (especially "Onie and Miso" and all the staff at the Black Coral Restaurant), the facilities, all were wonderful. We will definitely be back to stay again. And very excited to see the new developments in the renovations progress.
An amazing location, friendly staff, plenty of activities. We absolutely adored our stay at Plantation Island Resort and will be planning another visit soon.
The Fijian staff were all very friendly and very accommodating. They made our holiday
Highly recommended
We had such a wonderful time we thoroughly enjoyed it!!!!!!
Only booked/stayed one night - our 10yr old son loved it. There is alot for children to do both on land and in the water.
The new restaurant, Tivola, was very good. The new infinity pool and accommodation at that end looks great. The rest of the resort needs abit of TLC; bures were big, clean and well ventilated w aircon and fans.
It is definitely a family resort; would not be my first choice if travelling as a couple but would visit again as a family.
We had a fantastic week at Plantation. There were a few gripes, but all of these are minor. The dining is expensive, but we found ways to save. The shower drainage in our bure was slow and I wouldn’t say the bure was immaculately clean on arrival, no resort guide in the room, also no spare key available. As I say, all of these are minor issues in the grand scheme of spending a week in the special slice of paradise. The staff were wonderful, the facilities excellent, the buffet breakfast delicious! Our farewell song from our favourite guitar player was special indeed. It was a magical week for our family. We hope to return. Bula vinaka!
Our stay at Plantation Island was perfect for our family. With many activities to choose from, including the inflatable water park, snorkeling, volleyball, tennis, golf, massage, kids club, etc, there's something for everyone. It's the perfect place to relax and read a book and take the occasional dip in one of the 3 pools or beautiful ocean. We particularly enjoyed learning about the effects of global warming on the coral reefs and what the Fijians are doing to bring the coral reefs back to life. The only down-side was noticeable increases in the cost of staying on the Mamanuca Islands, but it's a small price to pay for bliss.
Awesome stay with kids so much for them to do.
Totally enjoyed our stay we would love to return one day.
We loved this resort. There were so many options for the whole family. The kids loved the bikes, pools and water park. Great choice of restaurants. Excellent food and service.
The staff are absolutely beautiful, caring and willing to help any time, day or night. Its a peaceful place to relax and unwind with majestic views and so much to do, either paid activities or complimentary activities. The food is amazing with a variety of two restaurants and a snack bar. I believe that is being extended from the 1 September 2019.
Absolutely fantastic as always, it was our second visit to Plantation Island.
I have just returned from Plantation Island Resort with my daughter's. We had an absolutely amazing time. The Fijian people are amazing and Beautiful people who always welcome anyone with such a lovely smile and a massive "Bula" They are honestly the most down to earth people. The resort it's self is set on an amazing beach with gorgeous photo opportunities everywhere you look. Everything you need is on the Island. Plenty of food options are available. Plenty of Activities for everyone. My girls loved the kids club and the gorgeous people who ran it. We will definitely be coming back here for further family holidays.
Resort facilities are a little tired but the location is beautiful
This was a second visit and it was just as good as our first. The staff are amazing they will do anything for you anytime, the facilities are awesome it’s a kids heaven. The food is probably the only downfall, they need a few more options especially for dinner, but overall a wonderful place can’t wait to go back!
We loved staying on P.I. It was just the holiday we needed. Walk out the front door and sit on the beach. Kids club was great for Mr. 5 and Mr. 11 enjoyed the water activities, snorkeling and the Bula bikes. Breakfast and dinner were lovely but lunch was a bit limited with the only option the buffet or pizza. Muscat Cove was a little bit far away for the kids to go, just for something to eat for lunch since they you can’t ride your bike the whole way anymore. When the new section opens with a new restaurant, it should give a bigger variety. Would have loved to have been able to purchase a drinks package too as this ended up costing a fair bit. Overall a great relaxing getaway. We will definitely be back!
I can't recommend P.I.R enough. The staff from the cleaners to the reception to the gardens to the G.M are the most endearing people, not minding going the extra mile to make your stay memorable and stress free. The most beautiful location surrounded by a reef with the most astonishing array of fish. Safe swimming all around. And those who want some alone time to explore these fish snorkeling , the nannies are amazing, as is the kids club. Perfect diving only being from a 5 minute boat ride for beginners to a 15 most more experienced.
a beautiful island where you can do as much or as little as you like. The staff are so friendly. It was a very relaxing place
Whilst the resort is a little run down, the service, people and activities certainly make up for it. I would recommend getting a food package as it isn't the cheapest. If you are looking for a place to take kids with lots of different things to do or do absolulely nothing then this is your place. We would certainly go back!!
Plantation Island Resort was a perfect place for a family holiday. We all had a fun as well as relaxing time. Couldn’t have asked for a better value overseas holiday.
Wonderful place for families with loads of activities and beautiful beaches
Amazing place nice and relaxing and such a great place for families, friendly and the kids pool could keep them entertained for hours while you sit back and have a cocktail we absolutely loved it the hospitality was great
A great trip, thoroughly enjoyed
Beautiful place and people, amazing hospitality, food and snorkelling
Beautiful island, the people were extremely friendly and the room was comfortable and cleaned on a daily basis. The buffet food was a bit average and quiet expensive.. the restaurant there had decent food. The saviour was the outstanding food at the neighbouring resorts of Lomani and Musket Cove. Very relaxing and would go back again
The staff are what makes the resort great for families. Staff are friendly, happy and love kids.
Thank you so much for creating such wonderful memories. Can’t wait to return! Massive thank you to the DJ for our nightly entertainment and Diver Dan from the Sub Surface PADI dive shop for taking such good care of my daughter on her first ever diving trip.
All staff were awesome, the island was awesome, the holiday was awesome!!
Highly recommended.
We stayed in a studio ocean view bure. It was clean and had a good view and easy to walk to beach.
Resort is fairly basic but great for kids. Really laid back. Food was average at buffet but enjoyed food at the black coral restaurant. Waterpark and non motorised sports were a big hit with kids. Enjoyed a few tours.
I wouldn’t stay here if you didn’t have kids
I had a wonderful time I’ll be going back for sure
This was my 6th trip to Plantation Island Resort and once again we immensely enjoyed this tropical paradise. Why wouldnt you - with the pristine beautiful beaches, friendly bula smiles from all the staff and fabulous weather. They are doing upgrading which didnt affect our stay at all and it was good to see the new section where we will hopefully be staying next time.
I would recommend this island stay to anybody but mainly families go there to enjoy the beach, free canoeing, sailing, paddleboarding, snorkeling, kids club etc. etc. etc.
Staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Highly recommended
Amazing place with amazing staff - my family had the best time & didn’t want to leave! We will definitely be going back.
I've been travelling to Fiji since I was 3 years old and have frequently stayed at Plantation Island Resort,
Our stay on the Island was just magic. Front reception, Head Maitre d - restaurant & bar employees were outstanding. Everything ran so smoothly & effortlessly. Everyone was so friendly and accommodating. With Bula Bikes now available on the Island for a very small additional cost, my young family 13,11,6 and myself were able to explore the Island. The Island entertainment & main activities guru Aquila was just amazing including the amazing boys who serenaded us every morning and evening during meal time.
If you are wanting a stunning island holiday at a very affordable price, Plantation Island is for you. The incredible chefs will keep you more than satisfied with their varied menu options. As it is a cashless island I personally recommend pre-paying your meals before arrival.
Some are some incredible new projects taking place on the Island including a ZipLine, a Yoga Sunrise/Sunset Observation Deck, a brand new 480 seater restaurant, new jetty & plans for an Infinity Pool.
This was our best holiday ever!!! Thank you! Was worth it.
We had a lovely time with the kids. The staff really make you feel welcome. I’d just like some more lunch options
PIR is a great location for families with a number of free activities to keep everyone happy. Please be aware, if a family member cannot walk or ride a bike for more than 1km, your options to experience the other resort on the island is limited as there is no other transport available.
Plantation Island Resort was everything we expected and more. From the amazing, friendly staff that go out of their way to make you laugh and feel welcome, beautiful crystal clear waters with awesome snorkelling to the yummy food, we will be back. Our boys aged 9 and 7 years had so much fun in the kids club and on the day trips to the local village and school and 2 snorkelling trips to the reef.
Our Studio Ocean Bure was perfect and comfortable for our family of 4.
Thanks to Lisa, Michelle and Billie from Travel Online for making everything so easy!!
Very relaxing and enjoyable.
We had an amazing family holiday
Kids had a great time,the big kids also had a great time ???? will be back ????
