Octopus Resort

Great resort and tucked away from everything. Beach gorgeous and beautiful blue water. Staff were accommodating and friendly. Villa hut we stayed in was cute with a outside shower. Food was delicious.

Absolutely amazing beach and location! Stayed for 5 night in points villa #3, what a lovely accommodation! Resort property is charming and well maintained. We did not have any issues and concerns, even it was a bit a construction close to a restaurant and second bar was closed, that did not bother us it all. Great dining options, dinner is a like a cruise ship style with chef's specials and all dishes are well presented. All staff is extremely friendly. Special thanks to all service stuff for keeping our villa spotless, main Chef who was making sure we had a great lobster dinner (ordered separately) experience and guys from dive shop who provided a seamless boat tender transportation and snorkeling trips (I definitely recommend night snorkeling). I will absolutely recommend Octopus resort to my family and friends!

Beach bar was under constraction during our stay, daily from 8:00 am to 5 pm. Restaurant, pool, beach areas were all involved with construction noise. The worst thing is: We got no information about this before check-in. There was only a short sorry for this.

The location is awesome- right on the beach. Beautiful sunsets. The staff were amazing,ever ready to assist us. The food was great- the chef was brilliant. There were a lot of activities which were fun. The rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. The resort have their own private boat to go to the mainland so we didn’t have to wait for the main boat to go to the airport. The nurse at the medical Center was wonderful too.Overall had a great holiday !

Excellent kids program, wonderful pool and very fast internet. The pool is very nice. Booking beachfront is a must. The beach is beautiful with very soft sand. Snorkeling off the beach is good. The resort offers a wide range of activities. The breakfast and lunch menu stays the same. The dinner menu changes twice a week. Love the pizza oven and pizza choices. Very nice spa. Yoga is offered twice a day. The landscaping is just outstanding and extremely well maintained. The housekeeping is first rate. Do not travel to Fiji in the month of May. I did twice near the end of the month. 2023 & 2024. If you like cloudy skies, a colorless ocean, nonexistent sunsets, wind and rain, then travel to Fiji in the month of May. You will be very happy.

Whilst the location is beautiful and overall we enjoyed the stay, we did not love this place as much as the others we stayed at mainly due to the lack of friendliness and poor overall service from the office and cleaning staff. The staff at bar and restaurant however were great! Overall, it was our least favorite place to stay in on this trip. Details: Our room wasn‘t cleaned throughout the stay even after asking multiple times but then on the day we checked out the cleaning team firstly left their equipment on our doorstep from the early morning onwards and kept hanging around in front of our bungalow whilst we were packing (on time!) making us feel like we had to rush, rather uncomfortable. We were told we could use the facilities until departure a few hours later but they couldn‘t ‚find any beach towels for us‘…. Food was very nice though as well as cocktails and drinks selection. We also booked in a massage which was amazing and can highly recommend! The pool area is nicely done but not enough spaces with shade including the sun loungers on the beach itself, which made it a bit stressful in the mornings to get a seat.

Overall it was a nice trip. Be aware though that the amenities it is probably closer to 3 stars but I have it 4 stars for the Fijian Staff. They are all wonderful and do their best to make your trip enjoyable. The cons of the resort. On our first night there in point 1 (the room name) the lights around the ceiling would not turn off. I discovered this literally minutes before bed. I could not turn them off. Turns out the light switch was broken. I ended sleeping all night with the lights on. Needless to say this was a rough nights sleep. I told the office the next day and they said they would send an electrician over to fix. They never did. The next night I had to turn the lights off at the interior circuit breaker which turned off the interior lights and the lights to the bathroom. If someone had to go to the bathroom during the night we needed to take a flashlight or use our phones. We had to do this until…heavy rains came and flooded the entire bathroom and about 4 feet into our room with mud and silt from the hillside. At this point they moved us rooms and the first night we were in that room an external circuit breaker and turned off all the electricity at about 1:00 AM. This meant no fans, no A/C and stagnant stifling air for the remaining 6 hours of our sleep. So another poor nights sleep. We thought they might offer us a bottle of wine at dinner one night or sunset cocktails but that did not happen. Also, check your bill upon checkout because they had about $390FJD extra added to our bill. I have to assume this happens quite often because when I pointed it out they were very casual about subtracting it from the bill without even looking at the charges I stated were incorrect. THE PROS: Great staff, Mena, Moses, Nox, Boolow, the security guard, Mellie, the main manager were all great during the day. My daughter hurt her foot on the beach and the manager helped take great care of her which I am very appreciative of. The meal service was great. The bartenders were great. Beach volleyball was a ton of fun and the snorkeling tour and private fishing trip my girls took were amazing. The beach is beautiful. You can literally snorkel right off the beach and overall the resort is very well organized. Rain hampered our trip a bit but there was nothing they could do about that. Drop off and pick up was a breeze and the pool is great to relax and cool off in. Overall. A great stay but double check everything just in case.
