Guest Reviews

• Christina (9/5): - Beautiful location and great people. Loved the cottage. Food was amazing. Staff made me feel very welcomed and cared for. Went on some great adventures! I was looking forward to the yoga classes advertised and sad there was no instructor when I was there. Also had a massage and I could tell they where distracted and not focused.
• Thomas (10/5): Wir kamen als Gäste und gingen als Freunde - Familiärer Charakter, sehr nettes Personal, entspannte Atmosphäre, tolle Schnorchel-, Tauch- und Surf-Möglichkeiten
• Myra (8/5): -
• Marlena (10/5): Great and unique place! - Wonderful hidden gem, off the main road and with vibes of being away from it all. What it lacks in sandy beaches, it makes up in hospitality and a wonderful team who are friendly and welcoming, and can organize numerous activities. My main aim was scuba diving and shark dives were world-class! The food is amazing, and you are very well looked after. Waidroka is truly a wonder and I would gladly visit again. 
• Kayleigh (9/5): -
• jessica (10/5): Would highly recommend Waidroca for surfing, diving, snorkelling, day trips, water sports, or just relaxing by the pool. - Staff were amazing and made our stay incredible! They went above and beyond to personalize our experience and make sure we had everything we needed plus more. Everyone knew our names from the day we got there and helped us with everything we needed to make our stay unforgettable.
• Dean (10/5): -
• Samira (9/5): - Sehr freundliches Personal und sehr schönes Resort. Sehr unkompliziert wenn es darum ging bei Aktivitäten mitzumachen. Resort ist ideal für Taucher und Surfer, mit täglichen Ausflugsmöglichkeiten. Weniger ideal für Personen, die selbstständig die Insel erkunden wollen. Die Strecke von der Hauptstraße zur Unterkunft war eine 10- minütige off-road Piste. War mit unserem Mietwagen eine Herausforderung, da kein Allrad. Sollte zukünftig besser beschrieben werden, um sich das passende Auto dafür zu besorgen. Das Abendessen war Recht teuer und klein (eher gehobene Küche, 3 Gänge Menü: 90 Fjd), hier war aber auch die Auswahl vom Lunchmenü möglich.
• D'Silva (8/5): We relaxed with very friendly and warm staff who greeted us by our names. - Peaceful and Tranquil. Staff very friendly and Courteous Rooms was clean. 4kms off the beaten track.
• Karen (10/5): Waidroka Bay escape - We had an amazing stay at Waidroka. The staff is wonderful, food was good, and diving was fantastic. It is such a peaceful, lovely, eco-resort where you away from crowds and city noise. We didn't want to leave!
• Juan (10/5): - I almost don’t want to write a review because I want this hidden gem to remain a secret. The resort was amazing. Gourmet meals every day, world class surfing and diving, and yoga. We met other guests and they became like family. The resort employees remember your name. Tim the surf guide was extremely hospitable. Extremely knowledgeable and an amazing surfer. My family and I have been fortunate to travel to many places but this will be by far the most memorable experience. Thank you Waidroka!
• Ellen (5/5): - The staff was amazing and property was clean. We really enjoyed the daily activities they offered with the Fijian locals Our rooms were up 50+stairs which is a lot to manage for any kind of extended stay none the less with kids. Having to go up and down the stairs multiple times a day took all the relaxing qualities out of the stay. The rooms do not have wi fi either so simply staying connected involved going up and down the stairs also. I would not have booked had I known. The location is very remote. Thankfully we stopped and grabbed snacks for our kids before arriving. I think this place is suited for people traveling alone or dedicated surfers or scuba divers. Amenities for leisure didn’t match the pricing or location
• johann (9/5): - Le personnel au petit soin, la situation géographique, les nombreuses activités proposées
• Steve (9/5): Superb -
• Mariela (8/5): Very good - The staff was very friendly and helpful. The distance to surf breaks was short
• Chris (7/5): A quiet & peaceful paradise - Quiet & peaceful No sandy beach
• Jennifer (7/5): Good - Staff and people worked there are extremely nice. The WiFi only available at the common areas, but was exceptionally fast. My son had a great time scuba diving! 3 miles bumpy and slippery mountain terrain in and out of the “resort”, meal plan has very limited options and overpriced, if you don’t have a rental car, you would be stuck here as captive audiences. If you do have a rental car, make sure to drive super super slow, numerous potholes. In general, the “resort” is nice, but overpriced
• Raphael (9/5): Amazing stay on the Coral Coast that exceeded my expectations! - The staff was really outstanding! Tim and Grant are really nice guys and they will make your surfing and diving experience on the Coral Coast nothing short of amazing! The other people were also super caring and lovely. I also really enjoyed sharing my meals with the other guest around the big tables and, of course, had a blast discovering the Kava ceremony!
• Tim (10/5): - Unbelievable property, beautiful, remote, quiet, very relaxing. Have the best activities at one location, surf, scuba, snorkeling, river boats, plus probably much more. Wish I stayed longer. Great Food, easy dining included if you want. I just paid separately and it worked fine, breakfast lunch and dinner are great, staff worked above and beyond to make you have a great experience. Super quiet. Is about 2 hours from Airport, so either get a rental like I did, or arrange for Transportation. Nothing around, so probably should of just went with drop off/pickup, had plans to go to Suva, about an hour away, never did. Surfed everday, they access Frigates, J’s, Shifties and other local Breaks. They offer Shark dives for Scuba, wish I was certified as this appeared to be a world class opportunity. Boatman are awesome, Surf guide Tim was great, as were Scuba Team. Really a world Class remote operation with a much better feel than “High End” Resorts. More personable and real. Exactly what I was hoping for. Room/Bure was awesome, clean, quiet. Not much of a beach, especially at Low tide. Really setup for day activities, surf or scuba or snorkel. Had wonderful Yoga with other travelers. Can’t wait to go back when surf is better.
• Gigi (9/5): Great place to relax and unwind in Fiji. - Amazing isolated and quiet spot to relax and unwind. Beautiful grounds and pool. Rosie was the activities manager and yoga instructor and was fabulous, flexible and keen to make our visit special. Staff went above and beyond to make our stay special. The drive in from the road was quite tricky in the dark and rain but we made it and it was great to wake up there. No beach either.
• Paul (8/5): - Great if you’re a diver or surfer.
• Florian (10/5): Wonderful stay - The staff is extremely gentle, thoughtful, smiling. Your well-being is their concern. From the gardener to Yannick and Isabel, the directors. They are proactive to solve any problem you can face. The resort is well situated for surfing this area and Tim, the surf guide and Ben, your safest captain, will make your session the best possible. Beds where comfortable in the two different rooms we were The prices of the food and the drinks are very correct, I was expecting more. And the food is very very good. Not eaten the same thing twice in dinners in a week. Appreciable.
• Candice (6/5): - The staff were wonderful and the food was good. The facilities are poor - walkways are broken, my son fell through a wooden bridge that had rotted, the volleyball stake fell over rotten and wasn't repaired until my husband did it himself. The beds are terrible, very old and uncomfortable. No WiFi in the rooms,only in the reception/restaurant. The price is very high for what you get.
• Anthony (9/5): Superb -
• Holly (6/5): - I think one has to get lucky with timing when staying here. In our case, bad weather, competitive surfing-oriented other guests, and some kind of GI virus or food poisoning (apparently some folks in the local village were sick, so maybe this was getting transmitted to guests? About one in three seemed to get sick for a half day or day) overlapped such that we had a mediocre stay. I think if circumstances had aligned differently, we might have had a delightful time. As it was, we managed one surf trip and zero snorkeling in three days. The resort is 3km down a semi-paved road that is passable but far enough afield that we weren’t inclined to leave. So I suggest budgeting to eat and do all your activities (if weather permits) there. For what it’s worth, the food was delicious (and we’re not sure whether it was the food or the ocean water quality after a rainstorm that made my partner sick).
• Vitoria (10/5): - Great experience. Staff was very friendly. Isabel took great care of us on the trip
• Siobhan (10/5): Unreal homely resort with exceptional staff! - Extremely family, homely feeling. Which is great after you've been traveling as a couple for over 2 months! The road to arrive at the resort! Either use the transport they offer, or the resort should've made us aware of how bad the road was, maybe a 4x4 would've been better to hire!
• Cedric (10/5): Exceptional -
• Chris (10/5): Superb hosts. So relaxing but with the chance to do so many activities. - Very clean & tidy. Private where it needed to be and just a beautiful location. Nothing
• Paul (9/5): Unexpected delight - This is a quiet surfing and diving resort. It's a great place to get out on a very quiet and beautiful piece of ocean. The staff made this place for us. It's not fancy, but their attention to their guests is what made it for us. Our room was clean, spacious and comfy. The food was just enough and we really felt the love was their in each meal. There's not much that we didn't like, but i should explain. It isnt a Sheraton or a Marriott. Meals are communal. You're up early out on boat , or walking a bush trail or visiting a local village. You go there to explore and get away from the everyday and it's perfectly set up for this.
• Schluter (10/5): Best Vacation in Fiji - I can't say enough good things about the resort. Myself and my friend do not dive or surf, but there was plenty of excursions available and very experienced, friendly staff. Food was amazing! We will definitely return. I didn't pack bug spray, that's on me. A tiny bit of reading would have alerted me to this, but the bugs were by no means unbearable.
• Alexandra (8/5): Great place for a relaxing stay full of activities very accommodating staff - Very friendly staff and other guests I came alone and due to the remote location everyone is very friendly easy to stoke up conversation and has dinner together. The room was basic but spacious had everything you need.
• John (9/5): As divers, we very much enjoyed our experiences at Waidroka - Loved the staff, all were very attentive and able to answer our questions Room was kept clean and tidy Dive staff, Gary and Ciera are wonderful and we would happily dive with them anytime Would recommend both the tubing and rafting excursions Food was very expensive - Breakfast was great - Lunch and dinner were pretty good (soups were very good) - Desserts were not very good; rubbery crepes, hard and chewy pavlova, below average overall No beach access unless paying for another "excursion" No snorkeling available at the resort, had to pay for another "excursion" No WiFi in room Would have preferred a beach view room
• Mark (10/5): Mark19 - Best surf trip ever! The Captain,staff,guides,and all personnel treated me like family.
• Mark (10/5): Surfer 19 - My stay at Waidroka Bay Resort has been tremendous,so stoked. The staff has gone above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. The food,Captain’s,and staff have all treated me great.
• Leilani (9/5): Superb -
• Rebecca (10/5): - We loved our stay at Waidroka. The resort has a strong community vibe and is welcoming to guests and their local neighbours. We received genuine and quality service from staff who were always helpful and knowledgeable of activities.
• Monique (8/5): - This property is secluded away from it all. You are locked in to eat meals here as it would be a decent taxi ride to the nearest town. We were only here a couple of nights with a 4yr old. However the staff were so lovely very inclusive and welcoming. We were here on a Friday/Saturday night on the Saturday they had a traditional Fijian Kava ceremony which was an awesome experience. I’m GF so they made bread and wraps from scratch so very accommodating.
• Cate (10/5): - A remote and quiet resort, lovely staff and a simple approach, meals made for you each evening etc . Highly recommend for a quiet relaxation holiday
• John (8/5): A very pleasant and relaxing stay, staff very attentative and welcoming. - Waidroka Bay is a small, secluded resort, with very friendly and capable staff, excellent food, and in a beautiful location. Very good for diving, surfing and kayaking offshore.
• Jessica (1/5): Dont waste your time staying here - The staff were lovely The crazy goat track leading to the resort, the outrageous price charged for dinner and washing, and the cost of the rooms
• Ben (10/5): An authentic Fijian experience! - An incredibly authentic experience. The staff was very friendly, the managers care deeply about your stay and ensure that you are having a wonderful experience. The activities are fantastic. We went surfing, snorkeling, white water rafting, tubing... everything was perfectly organized by the hotel staff.
• Steve (10/5): this is a quiet little resort. the staff all give your stay here a very personal touch. when next I am here in figi I wi - property is great location for ease diving and adventures near the location. it has 2 places that are perfect for setting up my hammock. this was epic.
• Toby (8/5): Very good -
• Warren (1/5): Fraudsters - CHARGED me unlawfully for expenses on my credit card without my authorisation
• Joel (10/5): Exceptional - Staff were outstandin
• Srivastava (8/5): pleasant stay with courteous staff. Big thanks to Katie and Antel for the snorkeling experience!!! - location limited veg options
• Rhiannon (6/5): Pleasant -
• Judy (9/5): We very much enjoyed the hospitality and accommodations here. - Lovely out-of-the-way spot. Staff were extremely pleasant and helpful. Food was excellent! The road in was a bit rough, given our rental car did not have much clearance. No real beach to speak of but pool was nice.
• Anonymous (7/5): Good -
• Renee (10/5): - Amazing staff and great options for adventures. My husband had a few awesome surf trips, we all went to White sand beach for snorkelling and tried River tubing. The food was fresh, local and delicious and the staff went above and beyond to make sure our kids enjoyed their meals and stay. We brought our 7, 4 and 2 year old kids, the staff were very open that they don’t have a lot of children of those ages but they made them feel so welcome and catered for their every needs. My husband was in touch before we arrived to discuss our plans and they were always very accommodating. We didn’t want to leave and would absolutely love to go back!
• Lorraine (8/5): a relaxing start to our holiday - wonderful staff! difficult to access main road
• Janis (6/5): - Very friendly staff, but over-priced for the quality of the room. Food was good but over-priced and due to the isolation, it was the only option.
• susan (10/5): - This small resort surrounded by intact rainforest is just what we wanted. The grounds and bure checked the box on a tropical feel. The chef made some very tasty dishes. The staff was very accommodating and friendly, answering all our questions and chatting with us. The best part for me was birding along the road that bisects the extensive tropical rainforest. We had planned on doing the shark dive but it was cancelled due to rough seas the evening before the scheduled dive. All the more reason to come back!
• Dmitry (10/5): - True Divers and Surfers Paradise Warm, home like atmosphere. Amazing food. Super clean! We’ll come back! Thank you Waidroka family! Bula Vinaka!
• Verified traveler (2/5): - Very expensive for what it offered. 1) at the end of a long rocky and dangerous road in the heavy rain. 2) no free Wifi. 3) no TV. 4) "continental breakfast" was an insult. Just the cheapest, poorest, bare minimal. 5) for a charge of about $312 Aus per night one would have expected a decent selection for breakfast. 6) We left early as the facilities were so poor and so lost a lot of money. 7) As a comparison a fully furnished two bedroom, two bathroom with two TV's dish washer, wash machine, all in excellent condition was $175 per night. ( which we moved in to). 8) Having to sign a disclaimer for staying there was also disturbing. 9) I THINK THE GREATEST INSULT WAS THE MARKETING WHICH INFERRED THAT ACCOMADATION AT THE RESORT WAS ALMOST FULLY BOOKED. IN FACT THERE WERE VERY FEW PEOPE THERE. CONCLUSION;- Will not employ or recommend Wotif again.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - I liked that the property was set back from the main road and has its own dock and boat access. The pool was kept very clean as was the resort grounds and common areas.
• Rob (10/5): - We didn't have the best weather during our stay, but the excellent staff at Waidroka really made a concerted effort to maximize our experience there. They were sincerely interested in our well-being, and went the extra mile to make sure we enjoyed ourselves. It's difficult to upstage the natural awesomeness of Fiji, but the staff at Waidroka managed it. Thank you!
• Verified traveler (10/5): Had an amazing time!! - Perfect place for your dive/surf adventure!! Full review on tripadvisor from username lovelife5366
• Les (8/5): dive and surf - I was told it was a fishing resort and snorkeling. Unfortuneately unless the tide is in there is only mud. no sand for 100 meters. there is no fishing equiptment or knowledge of fishing at the resort. What little equiptment there was,was in bad shape. The meals are set and I am a plain eater but could only manage very plain chicken or meat patty and there was pork two nights but these were the only meat available.Plenty of fish which I was told was great but I dont eat Fish. Very little vegetables and virtually no fruit the entire time we were there.
• Martha (6/5): - Weather bad so we didn't get to do anything except sit and eat.
