Funky Fish Beach & Surf Resort

Awesine staff, the permise was clean and pleasant. Beautiful place, located in the middle of nature and it was well maintained.

The only way to get to the hotel is using their transfer and we were not told about that after the booking. Also, it should be included since you have no other option.

The whole experience was out of this world. Did everything as was advertised.

The only downside was the beach hut, was a bit basic.

Just stayed for 10 days in a cloud break room up the hill with aircon which was much appreciated as it’s so hot. The bura on the beach don’t have aircon and are hot Food is included. I’m vegetarian and there was zero protein apart from the eggs at breakfast. If you have dietary requirements I’d suggest buying food to bring over with you to accomodate. We also took snacks It’s laid back and running on Fiji time. Things don’t work like they do at home but that is Fiji Lots of mozzies so take a lot of repellent We went to surf for 10 days. Take everything with you if that is what you’re planning. Take your own board as it’s very hard to get one there. Take your own wax. Take everything you need for surfing You are remote and stuck in the resort without accesss to anything to buy The staff aren’t surfers so they don’t know about the conditions. They don’t provide anything for you surf wise while you’re there apart from the boat going out It’s a budget option near the surf that’s easy to get to. Don’t expect high end. The staff were nice

Things took a long time. One day we were taken out to cloud break and the boat ran out of fuel. We had to wait 2 hours to have fuel brought to us No protein apart from eggs some days for breakfast so for a vegetarian the meals were limited although good just not enough to fuel the surfing It would be super helpful to have staff who are knowledgeable about surfing Would be a good idea how them to sell wax and other things for surfing

Some of the staff were exceptionally friendly and the spa treatments were good I loved our ocean front room and listening to the sound of the waves and the mosquito netting around the cabana was very well done and so the room was well protected showers were hot with high water pressure the views of the ocean were lovely

Some of the staff were not friendly in the traditional way that Fijian people are- the place where as fairly Durga sized and there was no shade anywhere to relax by the ocean or pool The price value was not great for the lack of infrastructure and the food was bountiful but we really wanted local food like fresh fish and cassava not imported food which I know they thought was more special

there are a few things one should know, before booking this resort: - the management is really bad, I had to catch the ferry and waited half an hour for the receptionist to show up for the check out - whenever you booked a boat for the surftrip it was late - oftentimes up to an hour late, and it wouldn’t improve during our stay, people ended up organising their own boat transfers - if you‘re not surfing, there is not much to do on the island if you’re still considering to book, definetly go for the 7- day surf package even if you’re staying shorter, I booked 5 days as i was leaving earlier and ended up paying more than my friends with the 7 days package deal (because they charge you for every single boat transfer).

My partner and I stayed at Funky Fish primarily so I could surf and she could relax and snorkel. The value for money and location is excellent for a chill, rustic, reasonably priced place to stay with all meals included on a nice semi-isolated beach. The staff are excellent, very friendly and accomodating and even hosted us and other guests for an impromptu Kava ceremony with a bunch of locals too. For surfing its ideal and has boats that will take you 20mins to the reef breaks such as Cloudbreak, Restaurants, Nomotu lefts, swimming pools etc. The snorkelling / reef life nearby is amazing too. I would highly recommend for people wanting more budget, friendly and convenient place to stay as opposed to a fancy resort.
