Beqa Lagoon Resort

Beqa Lagoon Resort can be reached only by boat. It is truly like landing in paradise. We were escorted by dolphins as we crossed Beqa Lagoon and we were welcomed at the beach by singing and guitar playing. The grounds are spectacular, the bures are accessed by way of wooden foot bridges over Koi ponds. The bures are bright and spacious and when you are sitting on your porch you feel like you could be the only ones around. The dining area and bar are open air and the food is excellent! Each day you choose between meat, fish and vegetarian dishes accompanied by soups or salads. You can snorkel or dive on the house reefs right off the beach, sea kayak, paddle board, swim and, of course, head out on the dive boats. The diving is tremendous! The shark dive that is offered is without parallel in my experience. On a single dive I encountered nurse, lemon, blacktip, grey reef, bull and tiger sharks! The reef dives are also outstanding, the variety of hard and soft corals is truly impressive. Our dive boat was accompanied by a pod of humpback whales one afternoon, it was quite the show! I must also mention the staff. They were fantastic! By the end of your vacation they are like family. I can't wait to return!

I have just returned from 5 days at BLR with my two teenage sons. We had expected a 4*+ experience based on the photo gallery on the BLR website, and also on the many very positive reviews on Trip Advisor. Overall we had a fabulous relaxing tropical holiday, once we adjusted our expectations. The Resort is in a poor state of repair. We were initially put in a 2 bedroom bure which was so poor that I asked to be moved. After two requests we were moved to a single room bure that was in much better condition. However even that had problems - the bathroom tap bare trickled, and the plug could not be closed. There were no power points in the bathroom so drying hair or using a shaver had to be done without a mirror. The one towel rail, installed during our stay, was so small that it could barely cope with one towel. But the beds were large and very comfortable, and the room felt spacious and clean and welcoming. The plunge pool had paint peeling off the bottom and was too cold to use. The garden area in front of the bure was lovely, if a little untended. The thatched style roofs that appear in the website photos have all disappeared. I can only guess that they blew away in the cyclone in February, leaving bare roofing iron. Understandable, but surprising that no effort has been made to replace them by July. The swmming pool is pristine, and very inviting, if a little cold at the time of the year. The restaurant/communal space at the front of the resort was in good condition. I

We absolutely love Bequ Lagoon and people they are so friendly and nothing was too much trouble. They made us feel like part of the family. We can't wait to go back. Oh and the diving was out of this world!!

Spent 4 days in paradise--diving, snorkeling, eating, cultural exposure, fun galore!! The staff were friendly, the food was delicious, the facility was outstanding. I will come back again and again!

The property is in VERY poor condition with a large amount of resort fixtures that are in desperate need of repair and have obviously been allowed to deteriorate to an unacceptable condition. As the resort in on an island fresh water supply also appears to be a problem as several times the limited supply was cut off and there wasn't any!

We stayed for a week and it was beautiful. The welcome on the beach, the location and the mix of tradition was really good. We didn't dive but the snorkeling was also good. From all reports the diving was really good. Loved the people who worked there and also we meet some really friendly guests who it was a pleasure to spend time with on some of the activities. This is the best way to experience Fiji as it isn't just staying in a hotel that could be anywhere. It was a lovely Fijian experience.

Fantastic location with great diving and snorkelling . Resort is tired and in need of renovation but also needs to maintain its simple and unspoilt location

Beqa Lagoon was magical. I absolutely loved my experience. I was traveling alone and didn't realise it was such a dive resort (I am not a diver) but the groups were friendly and it ended up feeling a bit like summer camp. My Bure was huge and comfortable. The food was fabulous - honestly, delicious, and I am a picky eater - I did not have a bad meal. I had three spa treatments that were fantastic and snorkelled and kayaked and drank beers. It was just magical. My favourite experiences were those that involved the village kids - the school trip and the final Bula night. I am a teacher and I fully enjoyed these cultural experiences that didn't feel forced or exploitive, but welcoming and informative of Fijian life. If and when I return to Fiji I will Spend more time at Beqa Lagoon. I will get dive certified and spend two weeks here :)

Staff warmly treated us like family. Our chambermaid Vina was particularly dear and accommodating. The decor is more authentic than other properties. Many interesting demonstrations of native culture, such as Kokonda preparation and Fire Walking. The scuba diving was world-class: will never forget the tiger sharks! Massage treatments at the spa outstanding. Altogether one of the best stays we've had in our lives!

Ett av tre stopp på Fiji. Dessvärre hade vi ingen uppgift sett att detta var ett paradis för dykare vilket vi inte är så det var mycket dykarprat på dom gemensamma middagarna.
