Nakelo Treasure Island Resort & Spa

Had a very relaxing enjoyable stay in July, highlights being the fabulous beach, excellent snorkelling and fab massages at the spa. A very relaxed resort with fantastic staff who epitomise Fijian friendliness. Manager Henry is great and his obvious “lead by example” leadership showing through in the way the staff operate. The rooms are comfortable and well serviced daily. There are daily activities for old & young. The island breeds Hawksbill Turtles and iguana’s and there is lots of colourful birdlife, as well as fruit bats. Great cocktails at Happy Hour which don't skimp on the important part! The food was good “pub grub” type meals with a local flavour to them and the Teppanyaki dinner option is great fun. (Some reviews unfairly bag the food). Waiting staff Millie and Atelini deserve a special mention. The kitchen team were great when we caught a fish and served up a delicious dinner of kokoda and grilled fish steaks for 6 of us. Yes, the resort infrastructure has seen better days but there are upgrades happening and it doesn’t pretend to be anything higher than its 3.5 star rating. If you want 5 star then pay for it and go somewhere else rather than expecting it at this resort. Good value for money and $4000 cheaper (over a week) than a 5 star island resort. A fab week of sun, snorkelling, reading, smiles, laughs, relaxation and friendly banter with staff and other guests alike. We will always remember our week at Treasure island and will be back again in the future!

One of the worst places we have stayed. Left two days early and should have left the day we arrived! The staff are warm and friendly, the room was clean and well appointed. The reef for snorkeling is beautiful and a calm beach for the kids but that’s about all the positives I could possibly find. The food is on the verge of being not even consumable for animals. My husband got violently I’ll on day two after having the seafood. Good service was terribly slow. Often food arrived cold and undercooked. I think the French fries that came with my sons order were never cooked and just served frozen. Like I stated we left two days early without requesting a refund. Management clearly doesn’t care if their resort closes. They say they are working on it but clearly with as many bad reviews for over a year they don’t care. We were not the only ones to leave early in fact on the boat ride home everyone was leaving early and totally disappointed and disgusted at the conditions of what should have been a fantastic holiday.

Fantastic small tropical resort island perfect for any travelers. We were a family of 4 with teenage boys. The water sports included snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding, and others. Tennis and mini golf were daily fun competitions. We were so glad we made reservations for the special tempenyaki dinner on the slow Monday night it is a must do!!! Also they have fire dancing on Saturday night which was awesome to see. So many daily activities that every day was a different fun experience.

This is not the authentic Fiji experience. False advertising. I have lots of true current pictures I’d like to share. Including mould on pillows, cockroaches crawling in the kitchen, all the beach huts are broken, food is terrible because kitchen has very little equipment working, how does a resort run out of food. So many hazards the staff and tourists are at high risk.This resort is sublet independent out sourced to other companies. This is not a staffing issue this is a management issue. So many people landed on this island and canceled their bookings to leave immediately. Management is a huge problem very reactive not proactive. He said he is happy with the way the resort is. How sad this person does not represent Fiji standard at all. Very run down resort. Staff are beautiful very over worked.

I am a New Yorker and well-travelled, but this was my first trip to Fiji. This resort reminded me of the Bahamas 30 years ago. The place is very family friendly and if you have children 7 to 12 they will love running around the island. It is super safe. Many nice Aussie families with lovely children. The beach is gorgeous. The rooms are what they are, but the shower pressure is good. The over all grounds are nice and they rack the leaves everyday with lots of hammocks and views of the ocean. Very relaxing. We stayed for 6 nights which was plenty. The food is REALLT mediocre, which after reading the reviews is what I expected. Basically, you try to figure out what to eat as best you can so you don't starve. Most of it is pretty bad. Service is terrible at meal times. We waited 2 hours for am omelette one morning and when it showed up it was scrabble eggs. I wish they would just let me into the kitchen. LOL. Recreation: There were two jet skies neither worked and were old. There was a jet ski group I saw go out that was guided that came from somewhere else. So there is some sort of guided jet ski experience you can arrange. I arranged for a boat to take us to Cloud 9, the floating bar (a super fun thing to do) but they forgot so when we showed up they and to move the day. Also a minimum of 4 must go and no one signed up so I paid for 4 people and drag two young women along with us, my treat. Not a big deal but "classic" service at this resort. Welcome to Fiji.

I booked a Premium Beach Front Bure with a checkin time of 2:00pm. We arrived at the Island at 5pm and tried to check in and were told that our Room was not ready. We waited almost an hour before our room was cleaned and made ready. We walked into a wet floor, toilet smelled of sewer, toilet flash was broken, coffee pot and ice bucket were rusted. Did not get the room i booked based on talking to other guests that had booked the same room and i was able to see their rooms. This was very disappointing and would never recommend Treasurer Island resort.

a wonderful place

Been to this property many times and always enjoyed myself and this time found the resort in massive disrepair all the beach cabanas are falling down , Burn offs over night on the beach of unwanted items And pool cloudy Overal disappointed to see this resort go down hill

The island itself is great and the staff are very friendly. The bedrooms were good and clean. Our main issue was the food and cleanliness of plates etc and service. I wanted to give this resort a good rating, being locally owned but they let themselves down in terms of food. Food is repetitive which is OK, food ordered from the menu is slow. One night we waited 1.5 hours for dinner and the plate was very dirty (food on the bottom and grease on the top surface). I sent it back and went without as it was so late and dirty plates are inexcusable really. You have to ask for spoons, glasses, cups, plates etc every breakfast. The apple/custard Danishes are yummy at breakfast and the fresh fruit is great. Favourite thing was the snorkeling and the Teppanyaki dinner that only seats 8, so you need to book. That was tasty and fun. The resort itself needs work,a bit run down. Overall we had a fun time but for the price and the dodgy tummies that 4/8 in our party ended up with I wouldn't go back. Transfers are also expensive if your flights are at odd times. 1250 ish Fijian , so around 900 NZD for 4.

Treasure island has gone downhill. Its rundown and the food was hardly edible.
