Funky Fish Beach & Surf Resort

This is a beautiful and cozy place right on the shore - from the bungalow to the water is literally 20 meters. Not bad food (although sometimes the portions were small and the breakfasts were quite modest). Everything is done very simply, but quite well-groomed.

The negative experience was when after arriving at Musket Cove (the final stop of the ferry) we had to wait over 1.5 hours for a boat from Funky Fish to pick us up (this is the only way to get there).My attempts to reach them by phone were futile — neither of their two numbers answered (the manager of Musket Cove also could not reach them after several attempts). The Funky Fish administration did not apologize for this, charging us the standard 16 USD per person for the transfer (only 3 km of the way!).

Top Lage, sehr nettes Personal, alle Mahlzeiten waren sehr gut.

This was an interesting place to stay - the accommodation was very very basic, akin to a school camp, but somehow the authenticity of the staff made up for this. It was very small but highly personal. Homestyle cooking, a sing-a-long after dinner and genuinely friendly staff. We met interesting guests from around the world and had a lot of fun. Certainly not your typical polished holiday resort - but fun.

Most of the staffs (Ben and John)were passionate and helpful and the food provided was good.

The front desk stressed us out a lot due to lack of clarity and detailed booking instructions. Would not recommend to inexperience people traveling to nearby. Limited Activities offered, kayak is not available and only one broken paddle for hire.

Location

Management is very very poor. Beach was dirty and full of broken glasses. Kayak and stand up paddle were broken. No wifi for a whole week. Food was very very basic and not enough. Manager just didn’t care at all. When I gave him feedback he just didn’t want to hear, just wanted to take payment.

Amazing location, close to castaway island, cloud 9 bar, mainland and all the surf spots. I wish I would have read more reviews prior to booking but I kind of knew what I’d be getting to be honest.

Firstly, you need to use their transport to get to the hotel. We were supposed to be collected at the airport, no one was there for 45 minutes. The boat across took us 5 hours in total because the boat broke down. They then tried to fix us and put us on the same boat which took 1.5 hours for someone to get us. They still proceeded to charge us for this transport, which was annoying. They had no WiFi, they said they did and provided us with a code but it was broken. Nothing was really eve on time and very much running on Fiji time. Unless you’re surfing, I’d really look at alternatives as there isn’t too much to do on the resort itself. They also did not provide the room we asked for and were in a room with two single beds on the ocean front. You could hear everything outside too, which wasn’t ideal so would recommend ear plugs.
