Mana Island Resort & Spa - Fiji

I’ll start with the few positives. The view was spectacular and the amenities were good. We did have a good meal by booking a romantic beach dinner. The paid cafe also had good food. Many if not most staff were not friendly at all, they looked overworked and did not seem particularly happy in their jobs. The room was not clean the taps had marks on them the table was filthy, the mirrors were dirty and the glasses were also dirty. The blinds were broken which I fixed, the toilet was leaking which I also fixed. The shower door scraped against ground and did not open properly. The verandah had dangerous nails sticking up everywhere. The room was just dated and needs a major renovation. Water features throughout the resort were not working, a lot of things were an additional charge bike hire, internet, no mini bar in room, no room service. The food at the buffet was not terrible but very bland and boring and slow to be restocked if running low. Not an experience I would ever want to repeat and I would not recommend anyone to ever go here.

Room looking very tired. Towels smell musty/unclean. Door warped and split. Needs maintenance.

The staff were amazing, very helpful and friendly. The food was spectacular; the themed nights were a great idea. Can be busy with lots of children but there are plenty of spaces to go for some quiet. I would thoroughly recommens Mana Island Resport and Spa

Pros: Great having a south facing and north facing beach as dependent on the wind you could always find a sheltered area. Great snorkelling. Half board option was great. Terrific buffet breakfast and dinner. Loved how every night had a different theme. This is fantastic option if travelling with kids - particularly hungry teenagers. Reef was right on your doorstep, water was clean, warm and beautiful. Island was large enough so you didn't feel crowded. Pros: Bure's were pretty tired, furniture was shabby. Expensive to get out to the islands. Inside bar staff where surly, grumpy and not friendly, complete opposite to pool bar staff. Rooms were not serviced. Left the to be serviced sign on our door two days in a row, and also spoke to reception but no servicing, which was very annoying.

Mana resort is very dated and the deluxe beach front burre was disappointingly basic (nothing duluxe about it). The main restaurant is in desperate need of an update or at the very least a deep clean. Fryers need oil changed much more often and food needs to be kept at food safe temperatures. However, overall, we loved our time at Mana - especially the relaxed atmosphere, beautiful staff and excellent snorkeling.

Location and some staff

How on earth is this a 4 star hotel is beyond me. We wish we extended our stay at paradise cove same star hotel which was actually 4 stars! Lack of hospitality, some rude and cheeky staff, check in was a mess, no shower gel despite asking for some twice. Rooms are so dated desperately need an upgrade. No wifi (paid) a joke, the owners are just money hungry everything is extra charge it’s ridiculous! Would not recommend this hotel to anyone and definitely would not stay here again.

The resort and our room were right next to the water. The daily activities were also great.

The room was quite basic with no décor, and the wall lamps made it feel a little dark unwelcoming.There was no TV, and Wi-Fi was only available at an extra charge. Some general maintenance and landscaping would also improve the overall experience.

We had a wonderful holiday on Mana Island. All the staff were so friendly and welcoming. Our Deluxe ocean view bure exceeded our expectations, room was quite spacious and it was great just to sit on the huge deck overlooking the sea. The bure was a short walk to the water to swim, snorkel (amazing coral, colourful fish and sea-turtles) and relax in lounge chairs. Mixed up our day up by attending a number of varied activities and got to know the staff that ran them very well. Sunset tour is a must. The themed dinner nights were great in particularly the Mongolian night. Best night entertainment was the Polynesian night – amazing fire dancing. Lastly the “Mudslide” Cocktail is to die for!

Felt WIFI should be included for all guests.

The island is stunning. Best snorkeling of Fiji, just swimming off the beach you can see a variety of coral, fish, turtls, sting rays etc. Easy and no need to book a tour and spend money on boat trips.

The facilities are old and lack of maintenance. Quite disappointing for such a wonderful location.

El personal muy atentos. Nuestro cuarto excelente y con una vista increíble. El lugar es increíble. Tiene snorkel y kayak incluido y la verdad que los corales de la costa son mágicos

Internet te lo cobran y es muy malo. El bufet es 5 puntos, entre variedad y calidad malo
