Funky Fish Beach & Surf Resort - Hostel

Resort had nice views and friendly staff. But that was all. Getting to the resort was hectic. The taxi service very costly. The accommodation was not good. Not very clean. Bedding looked like it was never changed from last use. Bathroom was clean but net overhanging from the roof was full of insects and dust.

Loves the people Tu Meli was an excellent host!

DON'T STAY HERE unless you want to feel like u are stuck in a final destination movie.We left early and forfeited our prepaid nights as Manager refused to offer a refund for the nights we werent staying.I was ELECTROCUTED by a dodgy electric kettle,lucky to be alive or not had toes blown off according to 2nurses that by fluke were on the island for a holiday. The current rattled me up to my brain then down my body out through my feet so I have been left with migranes, nerve tingling and dental damage.Manager wouldn't offer an apology as "nobody else had ever been shocked by it". I had made staff aware I was allergic to fish and asked which dish it was on the serving table so I could avoid it,was directed to the chicken, which turned out to be fish! thankfully I knew after one bite of it but still suffered an asthma attack and fevers.I knew I had an allergy but was unaware of how severe the allergy was so wasnt armed with an epipen. The next day we questioned the chef 4times if the food had been cooked with the fish, we were told it hadnt...yeah nah.It had. Good luck walking the wobbly rotten stairs of doom held in place by 2nails. Enjoy yr room with holes in the wall that cockroaches loved to appear from or filthy shower with blood on the walls and toes nails on the floor.Your toilet wont flush away your deposits properly so makes for a sweet smelling experience in the heat.If you enjoy gluggy rice and tasteless food this is the place for you.

The staff became family! So kind. Delicious food. So relaxing. Close to all surf spots & scuba/snorkeling while being affordable.

Communication could be improved in regards to not answering phone for pickups.

Our stay at Funky Fish was amazing. We stayed in the 2br Bure. The configuration is 2 singles in one room, a double in one room, and a single in the lounge. The best part of the place is the staff and service, really loved the hospitality there. Food was also really good value for what we paid, continental breakfast in the morning, cooked lunch, and dinner buffet. Simple but yummy food. My favourite part of the experience was the traditional demonstrations of coconut, cooking fish and basket weaving. The only improvement I’d suggest is to maybe have a bit more furniture in the 2br Bure so all can relax comfortably in the lounge area and maybe some side tables by the beds would be nice, and some utensils in the kitchen. Food wise, for Fiji in general, if you have any allergies like lactose or GF, to bring your own breakfast. Can’t wait to go back again and stay longer next time! Vinaka ❤️

Perfect place to chill. The staff were great. The facilities basic but adequate. Meals were good and there was always plenty for everyone, even those having 3 servings! Take something to fill your time e.g. books, and just enjoy the time out.

The resort was in an amazing spot and the staff were all very nice. It is a budget resort in close proximity to an amazing surf break . The sleeping quarters are very basic . Television and pool table in the common area .Budget resort good value.

Funky fish is as it is described... only badly worn out and need of a fresh coat of paint, and a lot of TLC. everything is ramshackle, broken, dirty and scuffed up... except the grounds which are well maintained. Tarusila the manager has an edge, neither warm nor welcoming and ineffectual. Everything i asked of him was poorly executed or not performed. Sadly this attitude prevails in the front office; the other employees were friendly and warm. All of the above being said, Funky fish is very inexpensive compared to most of the other resorts which tend towards the upper end and offer a much higher level of service and quality. The other guests, while equally unhappy, were very pleasant and friendly, which was very nice. The food is simple, copious... it would be nice if the menu included more local fruit with are abundant and tasty. I didnt surf but there are a number of great breaks very nearby which are reported to be great.

Great little place to stay for the price. Hospitality was great. Included Meals were good and filling. Did have a leak in our burre and corner of the bed was wet. But that was the only thing. Fantastic budget accommodation
