Mango Bay Resort

Sorry we checked in and five minutes later checked out not happy at all

Very peaceful and tranquil location. Food is delicious a little pricey but you don't really have a choice as there are no other options close. Snorkeling is amazing at high tide if you go to the right of the resort down the coast less then 1 km. There is a deeper channel with a great ledge to foollow along out to the reef. Staff are amazing. Greet you by name whenever they see you. We would stay here again. If you have hot water issues check the battery in the heater for the pilot light. Seems to be a common problem. I would not book a garden bura supreme again as they put two rooms in the same bura with no sound privacy at all. You can easily hear any conversation in the next room.

Great experience great staff and food was well priced

Mango Bay Resort is a lovely place to have some time out. It's a cheery and non pretentious place. During our stay we experienced both rain and sun, it was accommodating during both but especially wonderful when the sun was out.

I arrived at the Mango Bay resort??? On Christmas eve . I was taken to a shed in the dark dingy part of the grounds that was actually my room . It had a bed (two singles pushed together) and a shelf unit, that was it!! No table No chair No bedside cabinet, No fan , No ceiling !!?? And definitely No fridge. In hindsight I should have refused to even go in the room, it was disgusting. That night I tried to read my book but the insects coming through the roof were ridiculous, one thing they did put in the room was a large can of fly spray, i sprayed the bugs and then they would come cascading down on to me and the bed, i would then have to brush them off of me and the bed . After repeating this 3 or 4 times I gave up, and decided to try and get some sleep . When I lay down my feet hung over the end of the very uncomfortable bed . I managed to get 2 maybe 3 hours of sleep that night. I decided to get up and have a shower before breakfast, I flicked the light switch No power, I thought oh well I will shower in the dark, But No water , this was a great start to Christmas day . My breakfast Christmas morning was a bowl of cereal with warm milk , couldn't get a tea or coffee because you need hot water for these luxuries. I contacted a few of the other hotels along the Coral coast but they were all booked. I booked a flight home on the 26th I was supposed to be there till the 5th January. I have never been so happy to leave somewhere. Oh and the rain came through the roof.

After having my booking for 6 weeks they emailed to say they were doing major work at the resort and had transferred me to another resort. THE RESORT GAVE ME 2 DAYS NOTICE. Bit late to change airlines, car bookings etc. Very annoyed at this. It never mattered that I did not like the other resort, I had no choice but to go. Very poor customer relationship, they need a lesson in how to treat their lively hood.

We were able to really relax at this resort -it was quiet and peaceful. We didn't leave the resort for the whole week we were there as there was everything we needed and wanted. We rested, reflected, enjoyed the water, the warmth and gazing out at the stunning lagoon and nature around us. We also enjoyed the food and drink. We loved getting to know the staff and learn about their Fijian culture and family life. The beachfront bure was fantastic with a stunning view and proximity to the lagoon.

Love the friendly staff and the beautiful location.

We particularly enjoyed our time here because of the staff who were very friendly, made every effort to cater to their guests and were welcoming. We felt they were let down by the owners who had neglected maintenance and guest comfort and needed to pay more attention to detail. E.g. it is not possible to read in the rooms after dark as there is insufficient lighting and none at all by the bed. They offered a mini bar in the rooms we had to ask for glasses and there was no bottle opener provided. We booked for 12 nights and at no time during that time did the person that was pointed out to us as the owner come and introduce themselves, welcome us or address concerns that we had expressed to the staff. We chose a small resort expecting a more personal approach than in the large ones. This didn't happen. The setting is lovely and quiet with a reasonable range of facilities.Our activities were mainly off site so we didn't use most of the facilities. However they looked in good condition.

I had a short but nice stay at Mango Bay. It's about 2 hours and a half from Nadi and 45 mins from Sigatoka. All the staff and other guests were lovely and they definitely made me feel welcome. The property was very nice and well-maintained--lots of coconut trees and beautiful plants. Clear water. I booked a double room with garden view for three nights but the room condition was not great. The room was dark and the bathroom dirty. I decided to shorten my stay by one night and asked to be upgraded to one of the beachfront bungalows (bure), which was much nicer in comparison. The staff was nice enough to fulfill my request. So the quality of my stay improved after that. If you are an independent traveler looking for a mid-range relaxing place to stay for a few days, Mango Bay would be a good choice.
