Oh my goodness! What an amazing resort and little pocket of the world. We stayed 6 nights and wished we could have stayed longer. The staff were so lovely and the facilities great. So many activities. We loved the private beach picnics, beach, snorkelling and spa treatments. If you're looking for a place to stay in Fiji, book this one! You won't regret it. We will be back for sure!

The locals were wonderfully friendly and attentive, they genuinely seemed happy to have us in their midst. The location on a fantastic white sand beach is quite stunning. We enjoyed swimming and snorkelling from the beach. We had a great walk up to the phone tower with fantastic views across the islands in all directions. We really enjoyed the Sawa-i-lau caves, which are a 20 minute boat ride away. Swimming into the second cave and exploring it was a remarkable experience. Note the caves are closed on Sundays, open 8 am - 12 noon Mon to Sat. Hospitality was great, we ate our meals in different houses around the village, often shared with other homestay guests. We joined in a kava ceremony one evening which was entertaining. Accommodation is basic as you would expect, a spartan but comfortable beach front bure, our own toilet and shower in a shack close by. Shower was a bit of a warm trickle but did the job at the end of the day. Food was basic but tasty, very carb heavy, you may want to practice politely declining seconds. We drank plenty of local water with no ill effects. We also visited a couple of the resorts in the Yasawas and a few days at a homestay made a great contrast and really enriched the whole trip. We travelled on the Yasawa Flyer which worked well, the connection to the homestay was easy. We booked individual transfers between the islands ourselves rather than using the multi day pass, which was a lot cheaper in our case. We bought 500g of kava root in Nadi before leaving for the islands as our sevusevu, it keeps for a few days no problem.

The place and the beach are nice. Some staff are nice, some not, a bit superficial.

Pros + Dorm room was fantastic, single beds with privacy walls in between, clean, aircon and fans. + Attentive and lovely staff + probably one of the best beaches in the yasawas with beautiful turquoise water and great for swimming even at low tide, able to snorkel off the beach + full daily schedule of activities many of which are free including coconut bowling, kava ceremony, lovo, beach bonfires and more

Being upgraded to beach front villa, the awesome and friendly staff, the amazing meals, the crystal clear water for snorkeling and swimming, just the whole resort!

Very basic with the exact amenities advertised. All optional activities were great. Couldn’t be more complimentary of the staff.
