Guest Reviews
- snorkelsouthpacific (8/5): Special unique experience - Our stay in Savasi Island Resort Savusavu, Fiji (Oct 24) was a truly unique and relaxing experience. The setting itself is something quite special, with the resort nestled into a dramatic cliffside landscape that feels very different from your typical tropical getaway. It created a peaceful, almost secluded atmosphere that made it easy to completely unwind. The accommodation and overall experience were very comfortable, and we were especially impressed with the flexibility of the kitchen. They were more than happy to prepare off-menu options, which was a huge plus for fussy eaters and made dining stress-free and enjoyable. There were a few trip options available through the resort, which added some variety to our stay. However, we were a little disappointed with the lack of snorkeling directly at the resort, as it didn’t quite live up to expectations. That said, what truly made a difference was one of the wonderful staff members who took us out on several day trips, including some incredible long drift snorkels. These experiences were a real highlight and absolutely saved the holiday, giving us the chance to explore much better reef and marine life. Overall, Savasi Island Resort offers a very relaxing and distinctive escape, made even more memorable by the warmth and effort of the staff.
- Winedogs3 (10/5): Exceptional Dining Experience. - We went to this resort twice while staying in Savusavu for a week. The food was amazing and the service excellent. It was a great restaurant location and you are right on the ocean for your dining experience. The GM Dave was so helpful and welcoming we booked our next dinner there. We asked if we could get something special for our dinner and they drove to town and got fresh fish and prepared an amazing dish for us. While we didn't stay here Dave arranged a visit to see one of the villas and we instantly knew we would come back and stay there. A real treat for all of us.
- Māris (6/5): -
- atmorden (10/5): Great Room, Fantastic Staff - First off, for some context on my background and expectations, my partner and I are a middle-to-upper middle-class couple from the US who wanted to visit Fiji for no other reason than to relax for 8 days (after a 12 hour flight). The nicest hotels either of us had ever stayed at prior to this trip were the Boston Harbor Hotel and a couple of JW Marriotts in the US, so I can't compare to the Four Seasons or the White Lotus. I received no compensation for this review (in fact, the words "Trip Advisor" or any mention of leaving a review were never said to us the entire trip). I have never had a nicer stay at a hotel or resort than I did at Savasi Island Resort. We booked Clifftop 4 for the privacy, private pool, and view of the ocean, but we were upgraded to Clifftop 5 (apparently Clifftop 5 has more space) likely due to occupancy concerns since we did go in the shoulder season (i.e. wet season). As we had an early arriving flight and a late departure, we received both early check-in and late checkout at no cost, although I wouldn't expect that during peak season. It's hard to tell from the pictures, but the quality of the rooms themselves fully lives up to expectations. The layout, design, and quality of the materials in the room made it very clear that this was not a low-rent operation trying to bait and switch you from the pictures (if you've ever stayed at an AirBnB, you'll know what I mean). We had plenty of everything we were craving, namely privacy, comfort, and a view of the ocean from anywhere in the Villa. All that being said about the room, the reason I'd choose to return to Savasi Island over other resorts is the staff. The fact that I can name a dozen staff members off the top of my head is due to the attentiveness, warmth, and sincerity that came with every interaction. Our meals, drinks, activities, and spa services all ranged from good to exceptional (I am not a fish person back home, but I recommend the fish here: it's that good). My favorite personal anecdote about the staff is when Eddie, the activities coordinator, realized that none of the diving fins the hotel had would fit my abnormally large feet (US 13EE shoe size), he lent me his personal pair for the duration of the trip without hesitation. Alternatively, when the bartender, Kele, realized that my partner couldn't have banana in her drinks, he began preparing a special tropical juice blend just for us so she could enjoy the drinks as well. Or when Rico saw us craning our necks to get a better view of the ocean at breakfast and just moved the whole table further out so we could see better. I remember all of these because every interaction was positive, which is incredible in a hospitality setting. I will temper my review, though, as not everything went perfectly. For starters, the weather was quite wet at times, which we expected. What we weren't expecting was the incredible humidity and a failing air conditioner our first day/night at our villa. I don't think this would normally be a problem as the room entire room has screened shutters to allow for airflow from the ocean for cooling, but given the humidity, this obviously wasn't cooling the room. We slept fine despite the warmer than normal conditions, but when Dave, the manager, came to our table to ask how things were, we had an AC tech in our room by lunch and ice-cold air by that air that afternoon. Another minor issue was other (presumably) drunk guests accidentally wandering into our villa's courtyard randomly, but I would blame that on their observation and reading comprehension skills rather than the resort. The last issue isn't really an issue, but an FYI as it has nothing to do with Savasi Island, but with the resort across the estuary, Namale and its owner. I have nothing against Tony Robbins personally, but apparently the man hosts some sort of wellness/detox seminar at Namale eight times a year and some attendees stay at Savasi as well. Some of these attendees are a bit odd, for example, the German squad of 5 men doing pushups in front of our table at breakfast or the mom that spent more time at the seminar than with her family. If you are American and these people are in town, you will be assumed to be one of them by the locals until told otherwise and it can lead to some hilarious interactions. Despite some of the odd behavior by this demographic, the Savasi staff still worked very hard to accommodate their needs as well as ours. Regardless, I would absolutely choose to stay at Savasi Island again, even with the Tony Robbins folks around, as the experience was so good, we both were left a bit sad when we had to leave. If Dave, Ma, Eddie, Kele, Roberta, Mila, Isaac, Rico, Nita, Charlotte, Sala, or any of the other staff I left out are reading this, vinaka vaka levu!
- kimechotim (8/5): Relaxation Plus ! - Amazing place. Fabulous friendly staff. awesome food. Only criticism, the markup on the wine was over the top. (more than double the retail price AT Savu Savu township for a below average Chardonnay) Am not keen on the "donate to the staff Christmas fund" tipping method either. Christmas is a LONG way off for the lovely people who I am sure would prefer to get a wodge of cash handed to them.
- P2778QLashleyl (10/5): Simply The Best - Savasi Island Resort is an incredible place! After a very rough start to our stay on Savusavu at a different property, my husband called Savasi Island Resort at 11pm in a panic to see if they could somehow accommodate us the next day. The customer service/booking team was outstanding! Within an hour, Mandy had given us 2 different Villa options, confirmed our stay, & even arranged a driver to transfer us the very next morning. We hardly slept we were so excited! Being warmly welcomed by Ma made us feel immediately cared for and appreciated. We loved getting to sit down to chat and her giving us a personal tour of our villa meant so much to us! All of the staff (Mila, Isaac, Roberta, Rico, Kele, Eddie, Vili, & many more names I’m forgetting!) were exceptionally kind, thoughtful, & provided the highest level of service and hospitality. The ladies at the spa also took fabulous care of us. Highly recommend the couples massage! We stayed in Blue Lagoon Villa 3 which was absolutely perfect. The villa was gorgeous, the AC worked well, it was impressively clean, and had a great functional layout! We loved all of the unique traditional Fiji decor plus the huge bathroom and closet. The private pool with an infinity edge overlooking the lagoon was unreal and the definition of paradise. The villa was kept spotless our entire stay and the nightly turn down service was a special unexpected surprise. We loved watching the sunset, listening to the nightly live music, & getting a pre dinner drink at the bar! The food was excellent with a great variety of options all with fresh ingredients! We appreciated the delicious coffee options and huge wine selection as well. The whole resort felt like a 2nd home and just had the best vibe. I can’t recommend this resort highly enough, it is a special place. Our only regret was not choosing this resort to begin with! Thank you to everyone at Savasi, you truly saved our anniversary celebration & we can’t wait to return! Luis & Ashley
- WilmaXX (8/5): Beautiful small resort, hope to return someday - This is a very special resort and the staff are lovely. We had a lagoon suite with a plunge pool, the view was incredible! You preorder the meals and they were delicious.The rooms are nicely set up and housekeeping cleans the room daily and does a nightly turndown. There is a little beach onsite for a swim. The air conditioning did not work well in the room and we asked about it several times but they never fixed it. The last night it finally blew up and starting banging so we had to find the night security guy who couldn’t fix it so we just turned it off. We went diving for 4 days with the new onsite dive operation- the cousteau resort dive op. We worked with Aggie and she was great. We made the trip to Namena reserve one day and that was a spectacular set of dives. One day we dove right from the Savasi resort dock but the other three days they drove us to the Cousteau resort which was kind of a hassle. Not sure how they will handle future divers but we didn’t like having to leave earlier to dive. The last day cousteau resort used the boat to take out a large group of cruise ship snorkelers and relegated us to a small uncomfortable boat in too rough conditions, we bailed after the first dive. Hope they figure out how to run the dive op out of Savasi. Despite the problems we still enjoyed our stay and hope to return someday.
- TravelLikeGreg (10/5): One of My Favorite Places in the World! - What’s not to love? I loved it so much I extended my stay once I arrived. The people, the food, the rooms and the location can’t be matched. First the people. Bula isn’t a word, it’s a way of life. Genuine smiles, a sense of community and desire to make sure every aspect of your stay is the best! The food was some of the best I’ve had at any resort. Breakfast offers a wealth of options. Lunch and dinner always offer multiple choices and I never left a meal hungry. Plus, the views from the dinning room make you want to linger. Each night there was some form of entertainment and if you are lucky enough, your bartender might just be singing as well! The rooms are amazing. I stayed in a Clifftop Villa and after one night I extended for another three. Beds are perfect and I never turned on the AC as the trade winds and fan kept things perfectly comfortable. Waking up each morning, making a cup of coffee and watching the day arrive on my patio was perfect. Really idyllic. Used the Spa twice and loved it. The resort itself is magical. Took a number of walks and explored. Stairways lead to hidden beaches and magical vistas. There are plenty of activities or just spend a perfect afternoon in your villa. I will be back! For sure!
- edwardbZ4206WF (10/5): Tropical serenity - My wife, myself and our 2 daughters (8 & 9) had the pleasure of staying at Savasi island resort for a full week. We stayed in an ocean view villa (Clifftop 5) which has a small infinity pool with a waterfall overlooking the reef. The villa was comfortable, clean and spacious with plenty of room to spread out. This is not your typical resort. It’s small, personal and the staff go out of their way to accommodate any request you may have. The accommodation, comfort and food could compete with any major resort. Each meal is prepared for you personally by the chef and to your liking. As a young family we were all about activities and in particular the water. Eddie took us on snorkelling trips to Split Rock, Natewa Bay and Rainbow Reef. We have travelled a lot for this purpose however have not seen the colours and sheer density of sea life before. The reef days were quiet and without crowds. Eddie our guide and divemaster showed my girls everything special to every reef location. Nakawaga falls was flowing hard the day we went and it was special to be able to experience this all alone without the hoards you usually encounter in these places. We can’t say anything bad about this place. It was exactly what we were looking for, a true Fijian experience. It would not suit many people who are unable to separate themselves from technology. Fortunately there are plenty of other resorts that cater to people with those problems. Fijians must be the happiest people on earth. There are some big personalities amongst the staff, charismatic, gregarious, but always kind. From the outset the staff learned our names and had plenty of time to chat about our day or teach our girls about Fijian culture. From hermit crab races to reef walks they would’ve done anything for my girls. My wife managed to find and step on the only sea urchin on the island. Eddie would have sat there all night plucking out the spines from her foot. The personal interactions with the staff is what separates this place from the rest. There’s plenty of the rest and we’ve done that before, this place is special. If you want to slow down and enjoy a tropical paradise but still feel connected to the surroundings and the local people then this is your ideal destination. My sincerest thanks to the wonderful Fijian staff who made our stay so enjoyable. We have made some lifelong memories here and will return. Vinaka. Ed, Elle, Lucy, Chloe
- Resort21060675648 (10/5): Fiji Dream: Our 35th Anniversary - Arriving in Fiji felt like coming home. We landed at Nadi Airport, and the first thing we saw was a hangar with a sign that said, "Welcome Home." That feeling of being welcomed only deepened when we reached Savasi Island Resort. The staff greeted us with a warm welcome and made us feel like we were part of their family. After an overnight flight from San Francisco, their thoughtful offer of a day room and a delicious breakfast while our villa was being prepared was exactly what we needed to start our trip in paradise. We stayed in the Coral Villa, a private, secluded spot that was breathtaking. The private plunge pool overlooked the lagoon, and the views were simply unforgettable. The villa was spacious, and its seamless indoor-outdoor design made it our own personal sanctuary. At night, we'd drift off to sleep with the peaceful sound of the ocean. Every meal, from breakfast to dinner, was a highlight—a true celebration of Fijian flavors. But the most memorable moment was our 35th wedding anniversary, when we had a private dinner in the seaside grotto. Isaac gave a heartfelt toast about the importance of family and how much it meant to them that we chose to celebrate there. It was a genuinely warm and meaningful experience we'll treasure forever. What makes Savasi special is the staff. They quickly learned our names and preferences, anticipating our needs with such genuine care. They made our stay feel less like a resort and more like being welcomed into a family. We can't thank them enough. A huge shout-out to Ma for getting us so well situated; Isaac for leading the Kava ceremony, his all-around genuine nature, and always having a table ready for our ritual of Gin Rummy and Yahtzee; Eddie for the Kokoa cooking demonstration and being a wonderful activities director; Kele for being a great bartender and a fun person to talk with; the sweetest people ever, Roberta and Mila; Ulamalia, with whom we cherished our morning talks about local sporting events; and Mita for the truly rejuvenating massages. And a special mention to Rico, the fantastic entertainer who was just awesome. We'll never be able to hear "Two Sparrows in a Hurricane" without a giant smile. Each of them made our stay unforgettable. Savasi Island Resort is the perfect destination if you're looking for privacy, luxury, and authentic Fijian hospitality. Every detail is taken care of, so you can just relax and enjoy the magic. We left completely rejuvenated and are already dreaming of our return. Vinaka.
- deliverygirlnz (10/5): Return visit as good as the first☺️ - We returned to Savasi resort exactly a year after the last visit. After visiting Fiji for more than 25 years, it has to be good for us to return – and it is! Sometimes a return visit isn’t as new and shiny, but this was like coming home. Savasi resort is like the old Fiji, authentic warm and welcoming – but with the luxury of an up-market resort. We found the resort to be more affordable than some of the other top end resorts. - All meals are included which takes any stress off the finances. - Every villa has its own swimming pool (serenity the ship accommodation, has a spa pool on its deck instead.) - Accommodation faces the ocean or the lagoon, and what a view to wind down and de-stress from busy lives. But of course, what sets this resort apart from the dozens we have stayed at over the years, is the continued warmth & personal attention to detail from the humble & respectful staff. From day one you’re greeted by name & with a smile – how they remember everyone’s names is impressive, & it makes the difference. That is what the feeling of a Fijian “coming home” is and makes you want to return. Without this family of staff & the resort ethos, it would be just another nice resort. It’s a huge Vinaka vakalevu to all…. Restaurant staff - Mila, Isaac, Roberta, Rico, Kele (this team were the best!)…Front of house - Ma, Vili & Priti… Kitchen - Mili & staff…Activities - Eddie & Ady…The hard working housekeeping ladies…Spa - Mita (the Best massage ever)…Groundskeepers…. & Ganga the gardener who grows everything for the resort (he showed us the gardens & they are extremely impressive - you know you're eating fresh). I hope I haven't missed anyone out – the staff are all wonderful. Food was great again this year, the villa was spotlessly cleaned every day, with bed turn down in the evenings. We visited the chocolate factory which was interesting – producing on a small 2 acre block. Was expensive with the transport though. Town is quite big and worth visiting, there are taxis available. The restaurant is a covered open- air style setting, which is wonderful to sit in and gaze out over the ocean. Wine & cocktails were on the expensive side, which saw us buy less than we otherwise would have, but the cocktails are fantastic, & the resorts included morning juices with breakfast, made from scratch are So Good! Staff are very respectful of people's privacy & all efforts are made to keep the surroundings quiet & peaceful. Flying Fiji Airways from NZ, our destination could be booked in one ticket, for the flights through to Savasi return. Booking it all under one ticket meant that the shorter one-hour domestic flight from Nadi up to Savusavu, allowed you to have more luggage weight, than if you booked the shorter flight separately. We accidentally left an item behind & the staff contacted us & helped us arrange to get it home, which we greatly appreciated. Hearing the staff sing Elsa Lei as you leave always leaves a lump in our throats. We will be permanent returns to Savasi Resort for as long as we can. The owners Paul, Fiona & Mandy & the beautiful staff have got a magic combination that we hope they always keep...Bula Vinaka!
- T6061MKmichaelk (10/5): Fiji Perfection - Savasi Island is a little slice of heaven. The villa was spacious and beautiful with a comfortable bed and nice linens and towels. The villa is right on the water. It was a joy to sit on the deck with our small private pool and listen and watch the waves. The island is green with flowers and palm trees swaying in the breeze. The staff is wonderful; helpful, friendly and warm. The stay included 3 meals a day which were all excellent, made with fresh high quality ingredients. I would also recommend. getting a massage. It was excellent. I hope I can return in future years
- markjchambers (10/5): A slice of heaven in Fiji - This is an outstanding resort in a gorgeous setting. I have stayed at many luxury resorts in the Hawaii, Mexico and the Caribbean, but what Svasi offers is truly uniquw. It is a combination of private, quiet, excellent service and pristine environment. Spacious rooms, very good food and superlative service. Our room was was really three rooms with two large bedrooms each with a large bath/closet areas and a wrap around deck right on the lagoon, with a private pool. I could spend a week on that deck. There are 3 beaches, you can swim and snorkel off the beaches. If you get cabin fever, they offer a variety of excursions. The food is well-prepared and served in a beautiful dinning area. The menu changes daily. The staff is warm and friendly. It feels very personal. I saw a couple of negative reviews taht mention the place being tired and dated. I disagree. The look and feel is natural wood and buidlings blend well with the environment. Anything modern or flashing would look out of place. The beds are comfortable and the A/C works though we did not need it. If you’re looking for a premium laid back tropical experience, this is what you want
- yaronek98 (10/5): A Hidden Gem in Remote Fiji – Warm Hospitality, Excellent Food & Unique Nautical Stay - Everything about this resort was just good vibes. Upon arrival, we were greeted by singing employees, and one of them told us, “Welcome home.” And we truly felt at home. We stayed at the nautical accommodation, an authentic sailboat that was transformed into a hotel. As we were the only guests there during our stay, we could enjoy the jacuzzi and common area all to ourselves. The room itself was a bit tilted and not the most modern, but still clean and charming. They could perhaps add more electrical outlets, better window blinds, sturdier door locks, and stronger Wi-Fi. It is a remote location after all, but given the price, better connectivity would be expected. The food was excellent. We had a few dietary restrictions, and the team did their very best to serve us amazing meals under those circumstances. Dining right over the ocean, in a private area, was just lovely. The waiters were extremely friendly and helpful. All three meals a day were included, and the selection was always great. Drinks were fairly priced. The island itself was very nice—there’s not too much to see, but it’s still beautiful for a walk. The dive shop right next to our accommodation was excellent, with fair prices and stunning dive locations. The excursions and activities the hotel offers are also wonderful. Some are included, such as kayaking, which was breathtaking—you can glide through the mangroves and simply enjoy the views. There are also various off-island activities for an additional cost. We did the chocolate factory tour, which was fantastic and highly recommended. On the way back, the driver even let us explore the local village of Savusavu and waited for us with no extra charge. Airport transfers were included. Overall, this place is a hidden gem in a more remote part of Fiji, and we would definitely come back. Yes, there is a need for modernization and renovation in some areas, especially considering the price, but the staff truly went above and beyond to make our stay memorable.
- shazzle107 (10/5): A natural unspoiled Fijian paradise - Savasi Island Resort has to be one of the most special and unique resorts I have visited in Fiji. The spectacular private villas adorn the stunning coastline. The water is so crystal clear you can see the fish swimming from your balcony. The beach is tidal so the view is always changing and the blow hole provides constant entertainment! If you get the chance, kayak over at low tide and get dunked by the huge jets of water! Just remember your reef shoes and you will be able to walk everywhere very easily.. The staff! They are absolutely amazing. Welcomed us every day at every meal by our first names and so attentive to anything we wanted. Special thanks to Roberta at the bar who can make a wonderful vodka martini ! Rico for his wonderful energetic singing at dinner. Rico, Sala, Mila and Kele for looking after us at meal times! And the food! The menu changes every day and the seafood was so fresh! Thankyou Mili for your thoughtful and delicious meals each day. I adored them all. The resort managers Vili and Ma made sure that everything ran to perfection. A guest was planning a surprise wedding proposal for his partner and Vili executed it to perfection- planning a spectacular surprise in a divine private setting on the beach. Each day there are so many activities on offer as well as evening entertainment - there is a daily activities board and Eddie makes sure we are looked after if we want to do anything at all. I loved the Salt Lake Kayak followed by a refreshing swim in the pristine lake! We were lucky enough to stay in the Waterfall Villa - the villas are so large, exceptionally clean and beautifully decorated with many thoughtful Fijian touches. The infinity edge pool at our villa was just stunning overlooking the ocean. I can honestly say this is one of the most wonderful holiday destinations in the world if you are looking for something unique, special and truly memorable. We will definitely be back !
- tig1000 (10/5): Sophisticated Wilderness Getaway! - This trip was one of the most Special that I and my family have experienced all thanks to the most extraordinary island villas and gorgeous people who hosted our stay. Nothing but happy vibes and every little detail was thought of: from the Front of house Ma’ , Rico, Mila, Eddie , the Spa ladies, the amazing Organic Food cooked by the chefs and grown in the island where I met the farmer and had a lovely exchange, housekeeping turn down service.. gardeners, live singer who was just pure Talent, the ambience, environment away from technology yet with just sufficient technology for those who still want to be connected. Private beach, own plunge pool in the room First class meals and drinks - cannot ask for more!! A must go- highly recommended. Not many places that have been kept unspoilt and organic without intrusion. Very unique in that the wilderness is kept with sophistication. Be sure to buy Pure Fiji products from the Office as has the best pricing around! The photos don’t do this place and the Exceptional staff who elevate this experience to the next level any justice.
- Trip37947350189 (10/5): Wonderfull experience Fiji at a great privat resort. - It was a wonderful experience. We stayed at a Clifftop Villa with a great view of the ocean. Roomservice was great and the food was fresh and very tasty. The restaurant service was very good. Also we had almost every night musical entertainment. Even one of the service person was a gifted singer, who entertained us wonderfully.
- shirley (10/5): Paradise - Overall an amazing place to stay. Lunch and meal service are not restaurant style and you have to place order for what you want for lunch and dinner during breakfast meal. The food was absolutely amazing. Definitely fine dining meals for lunch and dinner. The pools are not heated so pretty cold. The staff a lovely. Everyone is super friendly and so accommodating. Booking through hotels.com doesn't necessarily get you a cliff side villa overlooking the ocean and you may instead get one by the lagoon. I would definitely book again.
- nickystaff (10/5): Paradise with people who have full hearts and deep kindness - A gorgeous experience. The surroundings are absolutely beautiful, lush green and ocean crystal clear. My daughter and myself were lavished with care and love , every moment we felt cared for. Our room was beautifully presented and very neat and clean, a sanctuary space . So peaceful . The cuisine was filled with fresh ingredients, delicious , served with utmost care and also thought for each guest . This is a paradise that I will keep in my heart for many years . And mostly the Fijian people we met to whom we became friends have marked our lives .
- kated569 (10/5): A beautiful tranquil island resort with the perfect balance for families or couples. Plenty to do but also time to chill - Savasi island was everything we hoped and more. The setting is magical. Clifftop 5 villa was fantastic. Views across the ocean and the sounds of waves crashing as you slept. The staff are so friendly and helpful. You feel like you are at home.
- family1111111 (10/5): Amazing Savasi Wedding Anniversary holiday - Stayed in Clifftop Villa 3 with under cover large outside shower and Pool with great ocean views set in a beautiful lush and colorful gardens The Villa was beyond our expectations and perfect for celebrating our 50th Wedding Anniversary We found Ma and ALL the staff to be very friendly, helpful and always called us by our name and the occasional morning hug from Ma. There is a range of activities or just relax and enjoy the surroundings. Each mealtime we had a different private table setting with amazing ocean views. The food was of a very high standard, delicious, filling and with a great choice. We were spoilt on the night of our Wedding Anniversary. We would like to send a special thanks to the Groundskeepers/Gardeners who came to the assistance of my wife who had a miner fall. We enjoyed going on the Village tour and we supplied some stationery for the Kindergarten children and it was great to see their happy faces. Thank Ma and each and every one for making our stay very special.
- 196elsa (2/5): This place is not worth your time nor your money! - At the risk of facing another (passive) aggressive response of the owner, I decided to write my review anyway. The property is outdated and way overpriced. It’s not high end at all. Hygiene is lacking, rooms are old, bed sheets and towels are covered in stains and they are damp. Also, our room itself was very damp. The carpet had stains all over. Overall, the place felt rather dirty. The male chef serves meat and fish to vegetarians in their own dishes labeled as ‘vegetarian’ since, according to the owner, ‘vegetarian can mean anything’. I absolutely do not recommend this place!
- GrandTour05826567880 (4/5): A problem solving guide for peace-seekers at Savasi Island Resort - I spent more money per night on Savasi Island than any other place I had previously stayed. This put me in the somewhat vulnerable position of high expectations and, sadly, a string of daily paper cuts leave me with a sting of disappointment. The following I have written as a guide to other peace seekers, naive as I was in the assumption that high prices and a promising slogan on the sign translate into a consistently wonderful time. Problem: you have arrived here in the afternoon and you need something small in your tummy that won’t spike your blood sugar so you’re not hungry for the hours remaining before dinner. Solution: ask for some coconut - it’s off the charts here. Problem: you’re staying in a lagoon villa and don’t enjoy the acoustics of busses and cars that can be heard from across the bay. Solution: choose one of the cliff-top villas: you’ll find the sound of the waves very soothing. Problem: there’s no internet available in the main dining area, and your villa internet has not been working for multiple days. How do you get online? Solution: relax, you’re on holidays! Isn’t it nice to be uncontactable for a bit? You can also ask reception for an additional modem that connects to the mobile network. Problem: you’re being disturbed by acoustic violence, including: lawn mowing, high-pressure water washing machines, and axle grinding in your nearby villa. Solution: tell management you’re being disturbed and they will find an alternative time for the workers to complete these necessary property operations when you’ll be safely isolated. Problem: your neighbour’s all-night coughing sounds make you feel uncomfortable. Solution: have some sympathy for your neighbours, and choose a hotel that builds for privacy next time. Problem: your sheets smell damp. Solution: If it’s discovered only at bedtime, then put up with the awful smell for a night and ask for a fresh change the next day. I had never experienced this in other hotels, but apparently this is “a common issue in the tropics” (according to management). Problem: Your identity is sometimes confused and your dietary requirements not always consistently considered for you. Solution: Learn which staff know you and if there’s any doubt, make sure to check with the waiter. The kitchen staff here are great and in all the many cases of this resolved the issue very expediently. Problem: It’s cold in the early morning and you decide to snuggle up to your partner for extra comfort and warmth - but notice your back hurts after a while. You realise that you’re not really on a double mattress, you’re on two singles next to each other with a small gap down the middle. Solution: Cuddle your wife another time and stay on your side of the illusory double bed. Problem: Your interactions with the guest happiness staff leave you feeling like they don’t really care about guest satisfaction. Solution: Email ahead to confirm Sala will be on staff during your stay. She’s lovely, professional and genuinely wants you to feel at home. Avoid the passive-aggressive ones; attempts to get a sense they care about your stay are futile, and have the potential to ruin your mood and potentially your day. Problem: You feel stressed, anxious, and frustrated after paying high prices for a holiday and yet not having an experience of deep relaxation. Solution: Have a massage at the spa! Sure, you’ll have to spend more money (and the prices are high too), but the massages here are top-notch. Charlotte is especially recommended for therapeutic massage: she has just the right combination of strength and tenderness and can work the knots out of your back that you’re pretty sure you didn’t have before coming to Savasi Island!
- Jayley09 (10/5): Private, beautiful, amazing - Thank you Savasi Island Resort for making our trip to Fiji so memorable. The grounds are beautifully lush and colorful. Every person you pass greets you with a smile and "bula" and most of the staff greet you by name; you truly feel you are visiting friends. In the eveninings you will be treated to Rico's beautiful voice or other musisians while you dine. Dining is exceptional, varied Fijian or Fijian influenced cuisine. Every dish is presented beautifully with many of the garnishes, herbs and vegetables grown on the property. The resort treated us to a variety of cultural experiences: a group of very young to elders from a nearby village shared their traditional songs and dances; a kava demonstration and tasting; as well as a kokoda cooking class. The resort beach and snorkeling spots have a variety of sea life, we even saw eel, octopus and a reef shark. Island activities are a must do! Eddie and Alec, the skilled activity guides, ensure you have an unforgetable experience and a ton of fun! Vinaka vakalevu! Brian & Jo-Ann
- darrinodell (10/5): Amazing time at Savasi Island!! - Truly, the most incredible vacation we have ever taken, and the team at Savasi had everything to do with our amazing experience. We are the owners of a Bed and Breakfast (Gold Mountain Manor in Big Bear, CA), so we have an extra critical eye when traveling. Savasi Island provides transportation from the local airport, which is just 10 minutes down the road. Our driver, Babu, was waiting for us and quickly grabbed our bags. From landing to driving into the resort, it took no more than 20 minutes. Pulling into the check-in area, Ma (General Manager) and members of her team were waiting, greeting us with a traditional Fijian welcome song. Ma then sat down with us, and we were brought fresh fruit juice. Ma wanted to get to know us and what we were looking for on our vacation. We were then fed a full breakfast (most flights arrive early in the morning), and then Ma showed us to our private villa. It was clear from the very beginning that guest experience means everything to the Savasi staff. Our private villa (Clifftop 4) was amazing. A large infinity pool that overlooks the ocean and reef was the highlight. The villa was furnished with local items. There were beautiful rustic hardwood beams and accents throughout. Our villa had a private outdoor shower, air conditioning, a mini fridge (stocked daily with water and milk) and a hot water kettle. Coffee and tea were restocked daily. Housekeeping did a wonderful job, cleaning the room each morning and then back in the evening for turndown service and fresh towels. All meals were provided and the team in the restaurant/bar were friendly and attentive. Sandra, Sala, Mila, Isaac and Rico were all incredible hosts. We got to know each of them and they shared details about their lives and Fijian culture. Rico is full of joy and his love of music and dance shines through in the evening. Meals were all incredible - fresh ingredients from their local garden and refesh fish were all amazing. On our final night, they surprised us with a private dining experience in the grotto. We took advantage of both the spa and local activities that the resort coordinated. Mita and Charolette in the spa were incredible - the best massages and treatments we've ever had. The spa rooms open fully, so you have fresh air and the sound of waves crashing in the distance. The spa menu is extensive and they can custom-tailor your experience. The spa team is very sweet and we got to know them well during our time. For activities, there was little we didn't do. The Kokomana Chocolate tour, the farmers market in town, snorkeling at Split Rocks and Natewa Bay and a full day trip to Taveuni. Eddie, the activities director, was a blast to hang out with. He was our private guide on our day trip to Taveuni. He grew up on Taveuni, so he was able to take us to experience things that you might not normally see. We visited the international date line and stood in both today and yesterday (very strange), the old Catholic Church with a huge cross on the hill overlooking the islands and the village where Eddie grew up and where his family currently lives. We visited two different remote (by hike or boat only) waterfalls. The highlight was all of the animal life we encountered - manta rays, spinner dolphins, sea turtles - just incredible! We snorkeled the Rainbow Reef and saw dozens of varieties of fish, including a white tipped reef shark. While the trip was a bit expensive, $800 USD, it was worth every penny! Finally, several days later, Eddie took us night snorkeling right off the resort. We saw tons of things that aren't out during the day. Lobsters, shrimp, giant hermit crabs, moray eels, etc. Sounds scary, but Eddie made it comfortable and loads of fun! I've covered a ton in this review, but I feel like I've only scratched the surface of our experience. I cannot think of a single thing that disappointed us at Savasi Island. If you are contemplating a trip to Fiji and looking at Savasi, look no further. You will not be disappointed!
- Happyhill66 (10/5): Savasi Resort: Peace, Beauty and Good Food. - The Lagoon villa we stayed in was lovely. Clean, nicely furnished, comfy bed, crisp, white sheets. Two sinks in bathroom, large open shower. We spent alot of time sitting out by our small, private pool. It was so peaceful. The staff, beginning with Ma, was seriously friendly and so helpful. Not the best resort for off-the-beach snorkeling. The tides are extreme. You have to catch them right in the middle between low and high to avoid stronger currents. We did take a free kayak out in front of the hotel's restaurant and the snorkeling was good. Large tropical fish darting around, with lots of deeper areas all connecting through the rocks. Plus, there are daily snorkeling tours to other well-known snorkeling and diving spots, like Split Rock. Best for last: amazing food, huge portions, 3 big meals a day, always with appetizer, dessert and big smiles from the restaurant staff. Try to catch a night when Rico's singing. He's got a beautiful voice, especially when he's crooning native Fijian music.
- Elizabeth (9/5): Superb -
- Caren (10/5): - If paradise exists, this is it! Set in a breathtaking setting, Savasi Island Resort is one of a kind. I could tell that a lot of thought and work went into every detail of the resort. The staff is attentive, friendly and welcoming. They were all over my baby. They provided an amazing babysitter, Mela, who took great care of him while my husband and I were doing activies. The food was delicious, served three times a day. The resort offers a variety of activities, so we never got bored. There is also a lot to explore in the resort itself. We stayed in the Blue Lagoon, which had an infinity pool and we had a blast! However, there were some mosquitoes and the AC sometimes didn't cool the room enough due to the heat. Also, the resort is more suited for adults than for little ones. We stayed 6 days and wish we had stayed more.
- O4194YVae (10/5): BEST Fijian Resort - Living in Suva, and have been to several different resorts. Savasi has been the best by far. Best dinners we’ve had in Fiji. Such friendly and kind staff. Great views and snorkeling sites. Arranged pick up and drop of from Labasa airport. Would highly recommend.
- Smaranda (10/5): Magical place - Sawasi is a magical place, with such a beautiful natural setting with lots of "secret paths", rock outcroppings on the ocean shore, canals to kayak on, exotic birds and bats flying at dusk, beautiful flowers, amazing food, wonderful people! We stayed on Serenity, an old refurbished cruise ship. Nice experience but the Serenity could benefit from an upgrade (carpets, etc). The bed was very comfortable, sheets, towels, high quality. We had a great time and rated it 5 stars.
- Pamela (10/5): The Warm Welcome!!! - Everything, the food, the people, the ambience, the hospitality. One of the best places I have stayed and I have stayed in a lot of places. This place takes hospitality to another level. The welcome- they sing for you then you get a welcome drink, a foot massage a first day welcome cocktail in the evening. The day before your Check-out you eat in cave, with sunset and everything so beautiful. When you leave they sing a good bye song for you. I liked that most vegetables you eat are fresh and straight from the garden. They grow their own vegetables and herbs, garden to table. The garden manager is a great person as well. Special thank you to the following people: Ma, Mila, Bill, Eddie, Mita, Roberta, Isaac, Riccoh, Koto, Mela, Goto, the Chef and everyone who made my stay there a beautiful experience. Everyone in the background who is doing the work and I never met them. Thank you for the true Fijian welcome. I love Fiji 🇫🇯 I loved everything ❤, on the small side of things for me, I didn't like that my room didn't have good internet connectivity. I had to go outside to the common area to enjoy connect
- 54Sharon2016 (10/5): The final stop on a 2 month vacation, Savasi Island Resort offered the perfect ending to a very full trip. - A huge thank you to all at the Savasi Island Resort who made our stay simply wonderful. From the moment of arrival at the Savusavu airport until our departure one week later, we were embraced as welcome visitors and offered the warmest of thoughtful, gracious and sensitive attention. Our assigned bure went well beyond any expectations and was perfect for the moment. A place of tranquility and respite after a hectic vacation was just what was needed. We have to admit spending a lot of time in the beautiful private infinity pool taking in the life of the seashore while simply cooling down in the beautiful tropical weather. It was such a joy to not only experience personal attention but to witness how staff interacted with other visitors, especially those with young children. An establishment run very professionally, there exists a well organized structure for delivery of services with plenty of flexibility to accommodate individual needs. All staff we interacted with were very sensitive to the well being of guests. A well thought out menu was featured well prepared locally grown foods, much of which comes from their own gardens. Food was prepared and served with well deserved pride; we enjoyed eating often amidst the sounds of staff singing joyfully as they went about their business, often taking a little time to dance with child visitors. Service was timely and the food very good. We left feeling we'd been offered a just tiny peek into Fijian Culture. The richness of the culture is apparent in context, and a willingness to engage in thoughtful conversation left us with much to reflect on. There's so much to learn from South Pacific Islanders ......... Thank you again to all at the resort and to Joanne (Goway Travel) who arranged for a beautiful visit
- Carmela (8/5): - Beautiful setting. Food is good and decent but small portions. The villas are nice with the private pool. Staff are friendly. Plenty to do but all excursions are chargeable. Lots of mosquitos, bugs due to its natural setting.
- Esther Ruth Jane (10/5): - I cannot express sufficiently in words, the true perfection of this place. Every day was a day spent in paradise with absolutely amazing staff, beautiful food and an atmosphere of pure ‘family’ and ‘love’. The attention to detail and the welcome we received throughout our stay made it extremely difficult to leave. Thank you each and every one of you, for making our time together so very special, we’ll definitely be back but with the kids next time .. until then, ‘vinaka vakalevu‘
- estherh2025 (10/5): Another day in paradise - I cannot express sufficiently in words, the true perfection of this place. Every day was a day spent in paradise with absolutely amazing staff, beautiful food and an atmosphere of pure ‘family’ and ‘love’. The attention to detail and the welcome we received throughout our stay made it extremely difficult to leave. Thank you each and every one of you, for making our time together so very special, we’ll definitely be back but with the kids next time .. until then, ‘vinaka vakalevu’ 🩷🇦🇺
- NorthStar62827647810 (10/5): What a slice of paradise! - An absolute delight. Faultless and perfect. Yu,,y food and cocktails, especially the Bloody Mary. Private and secluded. Exceptional facilities and service and surroundings. Can either relax or take part in the many organised activities.
- 360abbyf (10/5): Paradise! - Our trip to Savasi was 2.5 years in the making. I saw pictures of the amazing Coral Villa and knew that was where I wanted to spend my 40th birthday. We were a group of 6 (ages 35-75) - the 3 daughters stayed in the Coral Villa and our mothers stayed in the Waterfall Villa. Based on other’s reviews I knew we were in for a treat with the Savasi “family”. Our expectations were exceeded by far! From the moment we arrived to joyful singing, Ma and the rest of her crew made sure we were taken care of. Food/Drinks Kele, Roberta and Rico made us delicious drinks. The fresh pineapple/banana/coconut smoothie was our favorite. And we also enjoyed the breakfast juice everyday! Rico entertained us with his singing and charming personality! Sala, Mila and Isaac (and the kitchen crew) did a fantastic job serving up delicious, filling meals that kept us looking forward to the next day’s menu. The banana pancakes with caramel sauce quickly became a breakfast favorite with our group. The fresh fruit platters were amazing. We enjoyed dining on the various decks of the restaurant and always had an amazing ocean view with a breeze. Villas Coral - we opened the privacy gate to our Villa and the view was breathtaking! We could see all the way through the open air deck to the pool and ocean. The beds were comfortable and the outdoor showers were so refreshing. Waterfall - the moms enjoyed having a front seat view for the blowhole. They also loved their private pool with two entrances and the close proximity to the restaurant. Koto kept our villas neat and tidy and was always up for great conversation and an amazing laugh. Spa Mita and Dee kept us relaxed and refreshed on our MANY trips to the spa! No white noise needed at this spa, you can hear the calming ocean waves right outside and feel the ocean breeze. Activities Leo and Tino were happy to show us around the resort grounds as well as other parts of the island. Our group visited the cocoa farm, mud bath, town/market, and snorkeled in Natewa Bay which was AMAZING! The snorkeling was our absolute favorite activity during the week. Leo guided us in kayaks out to the blow hole and was very attentive to ensure the less confident swimmers felt safe the entire time. He also has a great sense of humor and kept us laughing all week! There are many trails and beaches to explore all around the island. Our final morning came too soon. We had fully embraced our new Savasi family (including others guests) and felt so welcomed and loved. Several of the Savasi crew bid us farewell with another song and many tears were shed. You can see the beauty of the resort in pictures but the most beautiful part of Savasi is the people. You must experience it for yourself. You will not be disappointed! We will be back!
- ScottG3351 (10/5): Absolutely phenomenal - There are not enough accolades to describe what a fantastic stay my partner and I had at the Savasi Island Resort. The grounds are exceptionally beautiful, the staff cannot be friendlier or more accommodating, and the food is delicious. The privacy (except for meals we never saw the other guests) and relaxed vibe (barefoot at all meals) contributed to an exceptional stay.
- John (10/5): - A beautiful place, really good food. There is no pool and not easy to get into the sea especially at low tide. Other than that it is an excellent place to stay
- SamPedro360 (10/5): Lovely Island Escape - My wife and I had an amazing stay! We had a bit of adventure and lots of relaxation. We love the property but the staff really make the experience. Everyone was very friendly and warm. The food was fresh and flavorful. All of the produce is grown on property. If we had an issue, it was quickly resolved. We would highly recommend Savasi to anyone.
- Myra (1/5): There is no word for this experience except be cautious ; come in with eyes wide open. Again, the Resort itself is Magni - The property and the grounds were beautiful and stunning! “Ma” is questionable in her way of stewardship of the guests ? My husband and I checked in the first day, feeling totally exhausted from traveling and no sleep. We really didn’t remember what type of accommodation we purchased at Savasi Island Resort. So we were not at our sharpest of mind. The Hostess of the Resort (who called herself “Ma”) greeted us after we arrived. The initial welcoming was very friendly and cordial with a welcome drink. Upon many questions, we shared with her that we were there for a conference at Wasawasa for Life Mastery. She was kind enough to provide for us the Wasawasa info sheet for people attending the conference for which we were super grateful. Then she asked us “ if we wanted to buy the meal plans from the Conference since it’s a special cleanse to accompany the Conference or would we preferred to buy the meal plans with the Resort?” We were uncertain so we said we will let her know, but unbeknownst to us and KNOWN TO MA, later we found out, that she had known our accommodation was FULL ON BOARD. I also didn’t realized we had PAID an OCEANFRONT accommodation but instead we got a lagoon view. So I was feeling perplexed and a bit confused and upset and distrust of Ma. I then directly contacted the admin office instead of going to her directly as I lost all faith in Ma to give me an honest answer or behave as an honorable hostess of the Resort. We decided to buy the meal with the Conference to match our Life Goals to be more “healthy”. The next day, I felt a sense of distance from the staffs to just acknowledge us without warmth or sincerity so we just ignored it. Every afternoon from the Conference there were 3 hours or so break so everyday I took a nap as I felt tired and “off”. I was thinking it may be the all the cleansing food I am reacting to. Other days, I had left a “ hanging shell” to our front door “ to say “please do not disturb” even though we were at the conference, as we didn’t need any making up of the beddings.
- V1564KO (10/5): Paradise - It's a LONG way from Toronto to here but it was absolutely worth it. The resort and its surroundings are breathtakingly beautiful - even better in real life than in pictures. All of the staff are truly lovely, especially the activities staff who graciously guided us city dwellers through adventures like jungle hikes and night snorkeling. Meals and cocktails were excellent and spa services were first class. We stayed in the Blue Lagoon 2 which was very clean and spacious. I especially enjoyed the window in the bathroom that opens onto treetops so you can watch tropical birds singing in the morning. Some reviews mentioned insects - the windows are open to the rainforest environment so yes there were occasional ants, but it was hardly an excessive amount and there were never any in our bedding. My only regret is that we couldn't stay for longer. Sota tale.
- 74lisamariek (10/5): Beautiful Savasi Resort - We had a beautiful stay at Savasi :) it's such a unique resort. The staff are just amazing, and you feel right at home with the beautiful Fijians. The food was amazing also. Ed was our personal driver and he made the trip. We will definitely return. Kelleher's Australia :)
- michelleallsop10 (10/5): So pleased we booked Savasi island an amazing and relaxing experience thank you so much to the entire team!! - Absolutely fantastic stay at Savasi don’t hesitate just book. From the minute you arrive to the minute you leave you are looked after on this small beautiful island resort. The staff make the experience special and we can’t thank them all enough for their Fijian hospitality. The food is delicious and the drinks, trips and spa all reasonably priced.
- Wendy (8/5): Very good - meals were great
- Mohamed (10/5): - You'll be treated like family definitely you will visit again next year.
- deliverygirlnz (10/5): First class stay & so worth the visit - Accessed by Fiji air on an easy 1 hr flight from Nadi on a small plane - we chose the ‘pay in Fjd ‘ option in their website & strangely it was significantly cheaper than paying in Aud - A bonus! What is there to fault at Savasi resort? Very little, it is the most wonderful atmosphere in a serene setting. There are a number of things that put this resort at the top of our many Fiji trips. it’s a combination of the beautiful environment, the staff who are amazing, the villas are authentic Fijian and the food was faultless. We stayed for a six day package and the fact that food is included here is fantastic. Having travelled all over the world, we can confidently say this food was up there with the best. No matter what cultural food they were cooking, it was a A1! We booked a 1 bed cliff top villa direct with the resort and were lucky enough to be upgraded to a 2 bedroom – villa 5 which was set back out of the wind, but still had sun on the pool most of the day. It was heaven! Take an eyepatch if you are woken easily as the villas are positioned for the views, so don’t have full window coverings. The only thing we found is maybe the air cons will need re- gassing as they struggled to cool the rooms fully at night when it was hot. The resort is kept pristinely clean and we noted that the small things, like staff brush all the many paths with a broom rather than using a noisy leaf blower, ensuring the peacefulness. They offer activities if you want to do a lot and you can relax if not. But what makes a resort like this has to be its staff. You can feel when people are happy where they work and the balance is just right here. They are the most beautiful people always friendly and willing to help, while professional and humble. A resort is only as good as the staff they hold and the owners are lucky to have people like this as the face of Savasi resort. We had a birthday dinner in the special cave area & the staff came & sang with a bday cake which was a lovely touch! After more than two decades of visiting Fiji, we can say we will be back – it felt like family. Next time we will time our flights to go straight thru to Savasi from home, as international & domestic terminals are side by side. Vinaka vakalevu
- Grant (10/5): - Staff and accommodations were amazing. Plenty of food choices and all meals were delicious. Highly recommend!
- agltay (10/5): Bliss - I can't remember what made me choose Savasi, other than wanting my own pool, but I am glad I did. It is so comfortable and relaxing. Everyone talks to each other. Over the week we knew the names of the staff - all so friendly and accommodating. Food was good (would not say Michelin) and beautifully portioned. You are not super full and not hungry either. My only criticism is that I would have liked more "native" food (we had a couple of dishes) - sea grapes, sea cucumber, whole fish, kai, lumi and root crops. The whole resort is beautiful. Our room looked out to the blow hole and I enjoyed watching the tide turn and the light change. You can do as little or as much as you wish, activities wise. Bliss!
- laurapQ5469NA (10/5): The best honeymoon spot! - We LOVED our stay at Savasi. From the moment you step on the resort, the staff treats you like family calling you by first name. Every meal was outstanding (so fresh and flavorful) and the grounds are so beautiful. Shout out to Eddie who led all of our excursions/activies on and off site and truly made our experience in Fiji so memorable. 10/10 recommend for honeymoon spot! It doesn't get any better than this.
- Christine (10/5): Amazing resort. Highly recommend. - The staff were amazing. Caring, attentive, and welcoming. The rooms, views, and activities were exceptional. This was everything they advertised and more. It was private and beautiful. Being so close to nature meant a few encounters with the local wildlife, but the staff were super helpful in relocating strays.

- Sandra (10/5): A resort stay in paradise that fills your soul and detox from tech. - The resort is amazing. Views are spectacular and it is a hidden paradise. Staff is so attentive and remembers your name. Hospitality is superb. Most importantly, meals are awesome. All organic. We stayed on a converted boat. Just amazing experience. There is no communication in the room so anything required, we need to walk to office which is ok. Wifi is also not the fastest.
- Shirleen (10/5): Will definitely be back! -
- Alan (10/5): Heaven - Beautiful location. Amazing staff. Hard to imagine it being possible, but the food almost trumped the scenery. Snorkelling in Natewa Bay is a must. Incredible place.
- Atanas (5/5): Passable -
- Vito (10/5): Exceptional -
- Noelene (9/5): Really enjoyable stay in great location with magnificent service - Beautiful location, excellent facilities and simply outstanding service by staff. Excellent meals and wine list. great activities both on site and organized off site Cant think of anything
- Gerald (10/5): - Old World charm! Very personal service as the Resort is not humongous in size. Yes, they are building more Villas, but it was a wonderful week in Savusavu, Fiji. From Ma, to Rico, everything was wonderful from the first moment to the last. We definitely will be planning our return trip to this wonderful piece of heaven on Earth!
- Marianne (10/5): Best overall family vacation we have ever taken in 20 years. - The staff warm n welcoming…learned all our names. Restaurant setting was lovely and food was terrific. Different activities every day were unique, authentic, private and so wonderfully memorable. Rooms were “rustic deluxe” very private and comfortable.
- Laura (10/5): - *
- Erin (10/5): - We had an amazing stay; the property is beautiful and very private and quiet. We loved the villa with the plunge pool and view of the ocean, and the staff was extremely friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and lunch/dinner were different every day. We had spa treatments that were arranged upon arrival, and I also organized diving with Koro Sun Dive very easily that leaves right from the resort. 10/10 would recommend for a relaxing, peaceful, private getaway in paradise.
- Tim (10/5): Savasi Island Resort - The staff makes you feel as part of their family. When they say welcome home upon greeting you after your serenade you understand exactly what they mean! The food and service are top notch! Perfect place for a romantic getaway. The going away song made me tear up as I knew it was leaving my new family!
- Ryan (8/5): Great place to stay with just a few exceptions. - Private Island that is beautiful, alive and interesting to explore, friendly staff, coral reefs. Good amount of activities, many of which are free. Food could be hit or miss, have to pay extra for snacks and beverages beyond water and tea. For how much you are paying to stay if would be nice to have included all non alcoholic drinks and snacks and provided 1 alcoholic drink per day.
- Vazil (10/5): - We loved the wonderful surroundings, great food and especially the excellent staff.
- Jayshree (10/5): Exceptional -
- Adelaide (10/5): Exceptional - EVERYTHING! The location was beautiful and very easy to get to. When we got inside, we had a very warm welcome from the staff and were treated intimately and personally, a trend which continued throughout our stay. Each day was as relaxing or adventurous as we wished, with easy to engage with daily activities or the ability to stay secluded in our private villa. The staff were all extremely polite and helpful, and made every effort so we could stay unstressed. The food was excellent, especially the integration of local crops in innovative new ways such as cassava mash. Being able to select ahead of time was an efficient way of not having to think later in the day. Our villa was kept in great condition by staff, and we were supplied with everything we needed to be comfortable. An incredible place to stay, can’t recommend it enough.
- Herbert (10/5): FABULOUS! - This is the ultimate stay in Fiji!! The staff is the best and will accommodate any of your needs. I can not wait to come back to Savasi and share the experience with our friends!! The food is amazing and the property is beautifully well kept💗💗Bula NOTHING
- Suved (9/5): Peaceful and private - Privacy peaceful Cleanness if the room
- Mark (10/5): - Beautiful views everywhere you turn, but the sunsets were magical. No filter required for some stunning photos with the richest of colours. Such an assortment of great activities that I would book a minimum of one week next time. Five nights was too short with so much to do. Never was bored or hungry at Savasi. Service friendly. Villa spacious, clean, and comfortable. Loved the private pool too.
- Laura (10/5): Exceptional -
- Anonymous (10/5): exceptional! if you get the chance to experience uninterrupted luxury as offered at Savasi, you must! - Everything! from the location to the amenities and staff, it made for a memorable experience nothing really!
- Stuart (10/5): Excellent stay, definitely recommended! - Absolutely brilliant trip from start to finish. The staff are amazing and the location is unreal. The food was great and there was plenty of selection to choose from with meals such surf and turf and roast leg of lamb and the menu changed each day. The mrs is a vegetarian and she was well looked after with vegetarian options. I went fishing and caught tuna and savasi were more than happy to cook this for me which was delicious. The activities staff and activities were great and kept us entertained. The salt river kayaking was so peaceful and a great experience. The resort even has a blow hole accessible by kayak which are provided. This was the second leg of our holiday after staying at the Hilton in Denerau. I am so glad we made the extra flight up to Savasi as this was by far the best part of the holiday. There is a real feel of exclusivity as the capacity is ony about 40 people at the resort. Was such a nice touch that the staff all greeted you and knew your name and genuinely wanted to help you have a great time. The meal in the cave for your last night is such a great touch and really was the icing on the cake for such a great holiday. If you want to experience the real Fiji and its beauty then Savasi and it's surroundings of Savusavu tick all the boxes. We even had a kava ceremony with Isaac who explained the history of Fiji and the tradition of Kava which was brilliant. Thank you to all of the staff for such a great experience. Hope to see you all again soon
- William (8/5): - Savasi Island resort staff were excellent and very friendly. There were limited things to do outside the resort as compared to other venues, but it was a very relaxing stay. I do not recommend staying on Serenity.
- Troy (10/5): A beautiful ocean front luxury hotel w/ local feel - My fiance and I just returned from 5 nights at Savasi Island. We stayed in clifftop villa 3 and the entire experience was nothing short of spectacular. The staff was amazing, the island was awe inspiring, and the food was fabulous. We chose two excursions: river tubing and reef snorkeling and thoroughly enjoyed both. But that was all expected. What we didnt expect was the overall kindness we felt in Savusavu and throughout Fiji. Everywhere we went the people were warm and welcoming. We felt safe at all times, including our two unaccompanied trips to town to explore. We were consistently greeted with warm smiles and welcoming conversation. Savasi Island is a luxurious resort where we had a private villa that felt completely isolated in the forest. But the best part of our experience was when we came out of that isolation and spent time with the Fijian people; that is what we will miss most. We will definitely be back, Thanks to Ma and all of her staff for taking superior care of us during our time there.
- George (10/5): - A beautiful place with comfortable accommodation.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Beautiful secluded villa with private pool in a stunning location.
