Guest Reviews

• Ute (8/5): Er war für die vier Tage, die ich da war. Super. Vor allem der Tauchgang hat mir sehr gefallen. - Lage, super nettes Personal. Das vegetarische Essen hätte etwas abwechslungsreicher sein können.
• Nina (10/5): - The location is stunning, the locals really kind and sweet, the diving team is superb. It was my first time diving ever and it was with the bull sharks - they teach you everything and make it really fun & easy! Would totally go again!
• Roxane (9/5): Magique - Le personnel et le cadre étaient parfaits ! Vacances paradisiaques. Nous avons aussi aimé que nos vacances participent à la conservation du lieu. L'accès au resort ne peut se faire que via un seul Ferry qui est extrêmement cher et nous aurions aimé le savoir avant. La nourritures n'était pas mauvaise mais pas au niveau du reste de la prestation.
• NERİMAN (9/5): - Personelleri çok sevdim. Konsepti sevdim. Pırıl pırıl... Herşey çok güzel. Köpekbalıkları ile dalış olağanüstü pahalı O eder ile 2-3 dalış yapılabilir. Zorunlu tutulan yemek ücreti çok pahalı Kaldığım yere x ödeyip yemeğe 3x ödemek hoş bulmadım. Ücretini peşin ödedigim Paddle board hizmetinde paddle board küreği yerine kayak küreği verilmesi hoş değil
• Kendell (10/5): Heaven. Amazing Snorkeling, 5 star hospitality from staff - The friendly staff made the whole experience our favorite in Fiji! The free activities weee a fun way to engage with other guests. The house reef was incredible for snorkeling. The bull shark dive was a once in a lifetime experience! Amazing villa right on the beach with very comfortable beds and pillows. Our door bathroom was a dream. But the staff really made the trip! The food was basic, but to be expected on a remote island
• Benito ivan (8/5): -
• Alison (9/5): - Pretty island , nice dorm , nice views There was no hot water to take shower ( dorms ) and for the price of the food , I think they should have more options
• Sara (10/5): -
• Markus (10/5): Everyone was so nice and it looked so awesome! - Everything :) /
• Dina (8/5): -
• Lasse Hein (10/5): -
• Olivia (10/5): - I spent two nights at Barefoot Kuata in the Safari Bungalow, and it completely exceeded our expectations. We loved that the accommodation was just steps from the beach, making it easy to enjoy the stunning surroundings at any time of day. This place truly holds a special place in our hearts, the staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help. The snorkelling at the resort was amazing, with crystal-clear water and frequent sightings of blacktip reef sharks! We’ll definitely be back one day :)
• VHLZ11 (8/5): - Situation Côté rustique du complexe Prix et qualité de la nourriture Activités proposées très restreintes pour les non plongeurs Pas de wifi dans la chambre
• Kristy (6/5): Good for solo travelers, hikers, divers, and snorkeling. - Property was in a beautiful location. Nothing. The property was immaculate.
• Anne (9/5): -
• Amani (9/5): Beautiful island experience - A stunning resort on a small island, with the clearest waters and felt very relaxed and well looked after during our stay. The staff were absolutely incredible, so helpful and kind. The ocean and snorkelling was amazing. We are vegetarian and there were options for us at each meal (expect fairly basic items at lunch like mixed veg and rice or pasta), but we never felt hungry. We also did the introductory awakening scuba dive with bull sharks and despite being scared, the dive team were so professional and made us feel very safe and it was an experience we will never forget. Would highly recommend for a short stay.
• Mathilde (10/5): -
• Rachael (10/5): Relaxing, felt like the backdrop of Moana. Will definitely go back. - Loved our Beach Buru. Every aspect of it. The staff were gorgeously friendly. Helpful and make the stay warm and welcoming. Definitely didn’t go for the food. This was a location location stay.
• Ma Andromedha (7/5): -
• giancarlo (5/5): - La location era invidiabile, un posto fantastico, non avrei potuto desiderare di meglio. La gentilezza, la disponibilita', la cortesia del personale in loco. eccellente!!!!. l'attenzione al cliente da parte del management/proprieta', da parte di chi decide, NON parlo del personale in loco, gentilissimi, disponibilissimi, eccellenti sotto ogni aspetto ma con limiti imposti. Le regole generali lasciano a deisderare, un esempio per tutti il costo della pensione completa di circa 60 euro al giorno a persona (NON giustificatevi per la difficolta' logistiche insite dell'isola che non e' cosi' vedasi maldive). costo esoso da farti sentire un pollo da spennare un ulteriore esempio di turismo da rapina del tipo vieni una volta ti spenno tanto non ritorni.
• Nicolas Lucas (10/5): -
• Jonathan (5/5): Our one night stay was extremely hectic. - The location is amazing, the layout is great. When arriving with southbound South Sea Cruises, you get only 1 hour to do their introduction, check in, lock in dinner choices. and plan activities as their dive shop closes at 17:00, which made for an extremely hectic arrival. Because the dive shop closed and the next day was low tide until departure, paddling/kayak activities were unavailable. They had towels you could "buy" and then return (no cost). The system was a bit confusing, and they only had two left for our group of 8. If would be really nice if they offered shampoo and shower gel in the bathrooms, but I think this was at least highlighted in the booking.com page. Dinner choices were asked for again at dinner, even though they had noted them during check-in. Can't recommend a one night stay here, more nights is probably required to properly book activities.
• Pablo (5/5): Senti que era un numero, no una persona - Hay muchas actividades disponibles. Esta cerca de Nadi. La playa trasera. Todo es de pago, pagas habitacion, pagas el extra por comidas, y todas las actividades o casi todas son de extra pago. Basicamente es una maquina de dinero. La simpatia esta pensada para que hagas y consumas mas. Los locales son majos por naturaleza, pero me senti un numero mas que una persona.
• felipe (10/5): - Localização fantástica! Funcionários muito simpáticos e prestativos , refeições fartas e saborosas , quartos amplos e confortáveis, estrutura muito bem organizada, dive center bem estruturado e com equipamentos de qualidade . O resort tem praias e uma caverna milenar . Trilhas ecológicas. Ficaria aqui denovo certamente eu
• Alexander (10/5): -
• Antonio (8/5): - Location, friendly staff and well curated selection of food
• Joachim (8/5): -
• Millie (8/5): - Nice resort with good beach, pools, loungers, facilities etc Great snorkelling/diving Rooms were clean and spacious Nice staff Rooms quite warm Food pretty poor, especially for the cost No hot water in hot water showers
• Leonard (10/5): Beautiful, clean, and well-run place with incredibly friendly staff and amazing diving and snorkeling - I would absolute - Everything was excellent. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, the whole property was very clean, and the water activities were beautiful. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone interested in diving or snorkeling who wants a clean, relaxed, and uncomplicated stay. The people were lovely, and I had a really wonderful time. I would absolutely stay here again.
• Leonard (10/5): Extremely well maintained resort with stunning marine life. - Perfect for water activities. Everything is clean and the staff is friendly and helpful. If you are interested in doing diving with bull sharks, or snorkeling in stunning ecosystems, then you can’t miss this resort. 10/10, hope I can be there again anytime soon
• Laurianne (9/5): Tropical island getaway. - Lovely island with beach side comfortable bures. Very friendly staff. Enjoyed the free snorkelling. Food was tasty and plentiful and the ambience was enhanced by the Fijian music at lunch and dinner. If it’s raining and windy it feels like less to do. Most people seem to come for the bull shark dive. Think the meal plan cost should be included in the up front cost. Would have liked more fruit at each meal ( not just breakfast)
• Mathilde (9/5): Super ! - Le logement était super, front de mer comme indiqué. Les 3 repas étaient très bons, particulièrement le dîner. Le site est bien entretenu, les activités sont nombreuses. Une soirée fidjienne a été organisée c’était incroyable d’assister à une cérémonie La propreté des toilettes communes La douche dans le bungalow est capricieuse
• Laetitia (10/5): -
• Emily (10/5): A beautiful location with awesome once in a lifetime experiences with the shark dive - Activities No air conditioning Limited meals
• Ward (10/5): Amazing! Will return! - Beautiful property, amazing staff - I felt like family. As a solo female traveler I was always comfortable and cared for. Beds were a little hard.
• Margot (7/5): Nice views but food very expensive and bad - Amazing views Staff is nice The food was the worst we got on the resorts, only basic buffets for a price so expensive, really not worth it No fans in the room, very difficult to sleep at night
• apirav (9/5): -
• Vlad (10/5): - The staff are incredibly welcoming and friendly, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. The location is absolutely stunning, and scuba diving with bull sharks is an unforgettable must-do!

• Apolline (9/5): Amazing resort, excellent diving, loads of activities - Amazing resort, snorkelling and diving was excellent, I like that they split the day trippers separately to those that stay at the resort. Lots of activities and the dive team is amazing Food was good but areas for improvement
• Milou (10/5): Echt een top locatie & verblijf! - Heel vriendelijk personeel, en waanzinnige locatie! Echt een tropisch eiland. Redelijk hetzelfde eten elke dag
• Aidan (9/5): - Staff are soooo nice and friendly! We did the awakening shark dive here and loved it - felt so safe! Lots of places to chill around the resort and free activities including a guided snorkel. Food not the best of the islands we visited but still lots of options.
• Raechel (10/5): -
• Hazel (10/5): Amazing time that I wish I had longer - Entire surroundings were wonderful, lovely cocktails made, staff were so friendly along with endless activities No yoga!
• Lisa (8/5): Was a wonderful stay in Yasawa Islands - The staff was very friendly I wish I had A/C…but I knew it when I booked it.
• Laura (10/5): -
• Marvin (7/5): Sehr schöne Aussicht aber habe mir ein bisschen mehr vom Essen erhofft - Die Lage und Aktivitäten die man unternehmen konnte. Menü Auswahl beim Essen war ein bisschen zu klein, für den Preis pro Tag
• Rebecca (9/5): Will be going back. - Very friendly and knowledgeable people. Food was great and the location was amazing. We loved the opportunity to learn from the marine biologists and do some Coral planting. Drinks were a bit expensive.
• liam (8/5): - The Diving was super cool snorkeling was a nice free activity and the staff are super friendly Dorm rooms are very basic and do not have Aircon no place to lock belongings either Food was okay generally buffet style

• Valeria (9/5): Trauminsel mit fantastischer Stimmung - Traumhafte Insel. Wunderschön gelegene Bar und Restaurant. Sehr nettes und motiviertes Personal. Die Hotelanlage ist sehr gepflegt, einfache, Gitarist und Sänger beim Essen hat für schöne Stimmung gesorgt. Es waren immer genügend bequeme Liegestühle vorhanden Zimmer könnten etwas grösser sein, Buffetessen war gut und hat uns besser gefallen als das teils durch das Hotel vorgegebene Abebdmenü
• Sara (10/5): A beautiful oasis - The comfortable bed, views, activities, and the amazing staff I didn’t want to leave I did snorkeling, a guided dive to see sharks that was out of this world, made great friends It is a place for relaxing and not worrying about looks or partying. If you want those things perhaps look at another resort. However, I loved that quality
• Marie (10/5): - situation incroyable, snorkeling de fou. Très sympa de partager avec les jeunes backpaclers qui parcourent le monde
• Eiden (10/5): - I really enjoyed snorkeling in the sea, but of course also the friendly staff at the resort. I haven't been able to find any defects.
• Petr (10/5): - Possibility to dive with bullsarks for noncertified diver. Great experience far beyond expectation.
• Oscar (10/5): - Beautiful place amazing views
• Petr (10/5): - Идеальный остров!!! Бесконечно прекрасные виды!!! Дайвинг с акулами!!!
• Nicola (10/5): Out of this world ! Recommend to everyone - Absolutely amazing.. will recommend to everyone .. Go here to see a beautiful island, diving with sharks and wonderful staff That I had leave
• Carolina (9/5): - The Beachfront Bure was stunning. Beautiful, breezy, and the bathroom was really cool. The beach was so scenic and the water was 10/10 - we went diving and snorkeling everyday and had an outstanding experience. The views were iconic and the staff was delightful. The shark dive was a highlight. The food was repetitive and not very tasty, and the room service was quite slow - we had to follow up a couple of times to have our room cleaned. The beach is stunning but small, so I think 5 nights were a bit long - in hindsight I would have stayed around 3 nights and then changed island. However this place was so stunning that we were still really happy with our stay!
• Dematalu (9/5): It was a great stay. Loved it all - Location is exceptionally good, so many activities to do. Food is really yum. Good amount of options. No drinking water in the rooms. Even we got water as there was no kettles even to drink morning coffee you need to walk to the restaurant
• Craig (10/5): -
• Sanju (10/5): -
• Sol (8/5): 10/10 if you love water activities! - This is a great resort for water activities! Can’t recommend enough the bull shark dive, loved it and felt safe all the way, you can tell it’s an activity well planned and executed. They have a couple of marine biologist in house and they do marine talks daily, we happen to attend the one about sharks and it was super interesting! We stayed over new year and there was a beautiful celebration with all staff involved, we loved it! Other water activities that we did included snorkelling with one of the marine biologists, night snorkelling and reef shark snorkelling. Wifi only worked around the restaurant and office area, wouldn’t reach most of the rooms. We found out on the day we left that there were beach/pool towels available at reception for guests but it was no clear when we checked in, not sure if they needed to be rented or if they were complimentary because not many people had them. In any case, complimentary beach towels would be great!
• Eva (10/5): Incredible! - The most incredible place in the world. Everything was perfect. The staff were incredible and so friendly. The highlight was the bull shark dive! A great variety of food, which tasted amazing! This place was that good I booked to stay another night! I couldn’t fault the accommodation. 10/10!
• Andrea (10/5): -
• Andrea (10/5): Paradise in Fiji! - The coral and setting was unbeatable. Our bure was right on the beach allowing us to fall asleep to the waves. Nothing. Loved it!
• Heinz (8/5): Superview für einen hohen Preis - Einzigartig Überteuert
• Alicia (10/5): - Everything was amazing, the place, the staff, the accommodation, the food, …. It was perfect !!! We loved our stay here.
• Heather (10/5): Amazing experience! - Wow what a stay! The staff were so friendly and accommodating, the food was fantastic (quality and options available) and our room sat right on the beach with gorgeous views. The shark snorkel and bull shark dive were some of the best experiences we’ve ever had; my partner and I are not scuba certified and the divers made sure we were fully comfortable every step of the way during the dive. We also loved the Fiji night and getting to be a part of a traditional kava ceremony. Nothing, everything exceeded our expectations.
• Isabelle (8/5): Outstanding location, great views above and under the water - Nice location, well integrated with vegetation with authentic feel. Awesome snorkelling and shark scuba diving Staff friendly in general Wifi coverage inexistant in the sleeping areas Food was average
• Eduardo (8/5): Great - Amount of activities, layout of property, and ocean view rooms were amazing. a lot of food but lacking flavor.
• Sandra (9/5): Perfektes Hotel auf Fidschi - Das Areal des Hotels ist sehr weitläufig und es gibt viele Möglichkeiten zum Entspannen, sodass man immer ein ruhiges Plätzchen findet. Das Essen wurde in Buffetform serviert und war sehr gut. Es gab viel Auswahl. Wir haben am inkludierten Schnorchelausflug mit Guide teilgenommen, wo wir zwar nicht ganz zufrieden waren mit unserem Guide, aber das Riff wunderschön war. Wir sahen dort sogar schon 2 Haie. Das zusätzlich gebuchte Haischnorcheln war sowieso der Hammer. Wir machten den inkludierten Anfängerschnorchelausflug und der Guide ließ uns komplett alleine. Wir dachten er würde uns spezielle Fische zeigen, die wir so vielleicht nicht entdeckten, aber da lagen wir falsch. Für Anfänger war es bei uns definitiv nicht geeignet.
