Taveuni Island Resort & Spa

My partner and I just returned from spending 8 days at Taveuni Island Resort. Right from the start, communicating with them was easy and efficient. Our villa was more beautiful and spacious than I expected, 3 sides completely opened during the day and easily closed up at night. The food was wonderful and fresh and served by lovely people. We snorkeled the rainbow reef with a dive company 10 minutes away but also totally enjoyed snorkeling right out in front of our resort. Everyone was friendly and helpful. The only negative thing that I will say is that the owners have several dogs and occasionally we had to be careful where we were walking as we didn't want to step in dog poop!! Also, on one occasion, one of the dogs went in the pool and I believe peed in the pool just as I was about to go in. The dogs are the only downside but even so, we had a wonderful time there and enjoyed meeting fellow guests and the very friendly people who worked there.

The ocean front villa (and Taveuni Island) exceed all our expectations. After staying at a Fijian resorts at Denarau and in the Mamanuca Islands we can say that Taveuni “the Garden Island” is the best place to come for rest, exciting experiences, great snorkelling and an exposure to authentic Fiji life. The resort is perfectly situated for getting to/from the airport; accessing the jungle rainforest and waterfall walks on the east coast and the snorkelling/diving on the west coast– the Resort will happily assist with arranging your activities and transport. To top this off the resort comes with a million dollar private sand beach – and the ocean fron villa’s private lounge and deck boasts expansive views of the ocean, islands and sunset. The staff were so lovely and accommodating. The resort owners have established a transparent and amazing scheme of helping the staff and their families with education and schooling etc drawing from generous donations from satisfied visitors. We were very happy with the pricing for the quality of food and meals served at the resort – cocktails were excellent too!. For those reading this I hope you get an opportunity to make this your next home away from home when visiting Fiji.

My wife and I had stayed here about 10 years ago. We were very impressed and a bit concerned that our repeat visit would not be as delightful. Was I ever wrong! It was just as beautiful and wonderful as we remembered it. No doubt, some of the finest cuisine and the friendliest, yet non-intrusive staff. World class snorkeling/diving and hiking (to waterfalls). And so glad to see Ric and Do again; such wonderful people.

I would like to thank the hosts for the truly unique atmosphere of the resort. The level of guest care was outstanding. The resort is lovely. The cottages are very comfortable. In fact, you can enjoy the views and especially the sunset throughout your stay. There is, of course, plenty to do. The dive centre recommended by the hotel was extremely professional. The reef is beautiful. Costal walk and waterfalls extremely interesting. It was my best experience in Fiji. I spent 12 days on the island and my aim was to dive and explore.Many thanks to the owners their family and wonderful staff:)

We had the BEST time at your resort. The ambiance, staff, chef, lovely conversations with Do & Ric, immaculate grounds, infinity pool & our bure well exceeded our expectations. I have not been so relaxed in a very long time. We can't wait to visit again soon. We also loved the dogs & cats on the property. Thank you all so much for making such a wonderful place & experience. It was like a most fabulous dream with food that was absolutely off the charts.

Wow! The pictures online do not do this resort justice. The staff was amazing. The food was spectacular. The entire island was beautiful and such a treat to explore. Will definitely be back, but in my absence definitely treat yourself to this amazing experience!
