"The staff at Nanuya Island Resort is the resort’s #1 asset. They are so warm and genuine and know you by name. They take so much joy in making sure that you are happy. There are so many staff that contributed to a wonderful visit but notable are Moses, Friendly Pete, Nir, Amare, Masi, Oscar, Suli, Sarah, Mere, Marie and more! I wish that everyone wore a name tag so that I could recognize them properly.
NIR is beautiful but it is the staff that make the stay worthwhile.
We stayed for 4 nights and enjoyed the snorkelling, fish feeding and farm tour that the resort offers. The island is easy to walk around if you want to hike. The food was different for every meal and it was very delicious. Masi told us that it was made with love and it shows. Every morning we were serenaded with the Bula song and there was always music in the evening. There was live music each night and a special choir on our final evening. It was all so special.
This resort is all about incredible staff in the middle of paradise."
"Absolutely amazing homestay! The hospitality was fabulous, with generous and delicious portions and the family was so welcoming. The views and ocean were absolutely stunning and the hike was incredible with some truly beautiful scenery. The kids were lovely to spend time with, so well-mannered and a joy to get to know. The accommodation is simple and basic, but very comfortable and excellent value for money. Overall, such a special and memorable experience. Highly recommend!"
"Amazing amenities and rooms in a lovely location, great spa/massages. One of the best restaurants on the Yasawa islands.
The only thing I would criticize is the lack of a clean water tank to refill reusable bottles. I don't want to buy plastic bottles on a small island and add to the pollution of the world."
"Absolutely wonderful. Top notch service and staff. You could feel the peide of the Fijian people here. An absolute gem. The staff knows you names upon arrival, you're greeted by a beautiful song and lunch. We stayed over Christmas and it was so lovely to have the village come in and sing and dance for us and even father Christmas came for the children of the village. We delt like true family while we stayed for our 8 days. We will be back next year!"
"Oarsman’s Bay Lodge is a magical place. From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect and better than we could have ever hoped for. The staff are so warm and friendly and there was an amazing range of paid and free activities each day. We were there over Christmas day and the lunch they put on was incredible - they even managed to get turkey!
The beach is paradise on earth with the clearest water and most amazing snorkelling. We had such an amazing time here, it really is a very special place with the most hospitable staff and the sweetest resort dogs."
"The Blue Lagoon Beach Resort has to be the most luxury resort experience for the most affordable price in the Yasawa Islands. The accomodations are lovely and clean, the staff friendly and efficient, the food delicious, and the setting outstanding. The house reef and coral farm were special highlights, as well as a visit to the village church service, a beautiful beach with incredible views, and a fishing expedition that brought in some amazing fish. The chef made a feast of our catch and we were so impressed by the service and the experience in general. The two restaurants have something for everyone, and our little family felt like we were treated like royalty. We would recommend this special place to anyone who wants a unique and beautiful Fiji experience! And we will dream of the outdoor shower and comfortable plush beds for years to come. "
"antastic place to spend your time.
Mantaray Island about 3.5 hours from the main island in Fiji in the Yasawa Island group, is a beautiful little hamlet of paradise.
I spent 5 nights in a Reef Bure (With AC) an was extremely impressed with the cleanliness and general upkeep. The outdoor bathroom is an absolute highlight with its 3 different light/mood settings at night. The Bure itself was also only 12 step from the beach with its beautiful torquay blue water.
Great snorkeling is on offer straight off the beach (High tide only) and a lovely hotel pool for low tide.
The Restaurant served amazing meals on a set menu that changed every 2 day’s (B,L,D) and during the day you can swap your lunch meal for a pizza by the pool if you like, the resort also offers diving (Which I didn’t do this time) and a Spa that offers a limited but good range of massages.
The Hotel is a cashless hotel, so you don’t need to have a wallet full of cash like I had.
Overall this is a very good 4 star operation in the Yasawa group, and I am definitely looking to come back in July-September next year when the Mantaray swim past the Island.
