"This place is beautiful and serene. We loved the size of it and having a more intimate experience with fewer guests. The staff were so gracious and well trained, they really were the highlight of our experience there.
Another highlight was the food. The chef did an excellent job of choosing the menu items and introducing us to Fijian food. The freshness of the fruits and vegetables was excellent and we felt that we had very good choices.
The only downside to our stay was unseasonable weather that kept us from doing several things we were looking forward to doing like kayaking and paddle boarding, but we did get to snorkel although it was chilly. The house reef is very good and the guided snorkel was fantastic so highly recommended.
The bures are very nice, we loved the outdoor shower and the hammock and beach chairs. We also loved to be able to be barefoot throughout the property as it was so well maintained. The gardens and flowers throughout are gorgeous."
"We really enjoyed our week at Nanuya island resort. Very friendly and helpful staff, excellent food and accommodation, and some fun times with the evening entertainments and a good range of excursions offered. A genuine Fijian experience,
and we would really like to visit again, Vinaka vakalevu."
"Oarsman bay, what a fabulous place. We were genuinely upset to leave. We then travelled on to 2 further islands and nothing compares to our experience at oarsman. They have everything right, from the layout of tables, the activities itinerary, meals etc.
The atmosphere is a perfect balance between chilled but always something to do, particular shout up to sepho and Ben who made our dive cave trip 10/10 and always went above and beyond to ensure activities were the best. The chef whose meals were perfect and the entire meal time crew.
I could go on all day about oarsman, truly an amazing place that everyone should experience"
"Beautiful island, very nice lodge, modest, clean, do not expect a luxury hotel, but nothing is missing. The staff is very welcoming, nice and helpful, wonderful friendly people. The sea is gorgeous, nice for swimming and snorkeling, boat trips are available to attractions near by (cave, blue lagoon, etc). TIP: bring some cash with you. They do accept credit cards, however some of the costs are in cash (food, boat tours). For a family of four and a four days stay, about 1500 Fiji dollars will do"
"Everything was excellent. Comfortable bed, clean spacious extremely private rooms, HOT SHOWER, beachfront (multiple sandy walkable beaches), GREAT food, Staff is STELLAR, daily excursions, 24 hour bar, 3 of the sweetest dogs, yoga, kayaks and SUP boards, hiking, and DON'T MISS the massage..... I got one everyday- Anna and Aggie have magic in their hands. Fijian hospitality is by far the best I have experienced in the world, hands down. Book it- its worth the journey! Vinaka, Navutu."
