    Walindi Plantation Resort is a magical place to visit... will stay longer next time!

    • Stayed 3 nights

    dietary options particularly for lunch were rather limited for my sister who is gluten intolerant and does not eat any kind of fish / shellfish. our bungalows were side by side (No 3& 4) but it would have been even more ideal if we could have had the bungalows that shared the foot path. ie No 2&3 The window curtains in the rooms were the only things that needed an upgrade. They are showing signs of age and do not cover the windows completely. An extra towel would be good for hair drying.

    staff were all delightful it was terrific highlight to meet Cecily (the owner) who was extremely knowledgeable about everything on that part of the island and war history. gardens are magical and so well kept. meals were all quite tasty. comfortable beds authentic down to earth island stay

    It is located in one of the most beautiful places, adjacent to one of the top diving locations in the world. The jungle, trees, plants and volcanoes add to the beauty.

    It was perfect!! … because of all of the above we loved the community/ village atmosphere. I asked many of the staff if they loved / enjoyed working at Walindi and received positive and enthusiastic replies. We loved seeing the pride that the staff had in their work . A credit to the Walindi family and the team.

    Every aspect was perfect.. the care and attention to detail of Walindi staff from all perspectives was exceptional and all done with a ‘generosity of spirit’

    The solar power wasn't enough to last the night, so my sleep was disturbed when the fan went off. I got used to it eventually, though

    Great place to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It was quiet and peaceful, with the sounds of nature abounding. The tours and tour guides were great. Especially the snorkeling. I whole heartedly recommend.

    *By no fault of the resort….the road to/from the airport is a wee bit rough, and at such a cozy resort the behavior of other guests may effect the vibe & ambiance

    The service, staff, and atmosphere were welcoming & wonderful. Beautiful authentic vibes & relaxing. The meals provided lots of options & flavors. The activities (esp. diving) and land tours were easy to book, lots of choice & well detailed.

    The departure process unfortunately resulted in us having to leave...... We felt this would have been better if it resulted in us staying longer.... not really the fault of the resort but worth noting that you may also want to stay longer than you originally thought you would.

    Walindi Plantation Resort is situated in a diver's paradise and is a beautifully designed, built and maintained facility. The staff are first rate and the package deals are excellent value. Great for families, couples or singles alike, there is a heap to do for everyone and you will not be disappointed with what is on offer. We hiked to see historical WWII relics, dove on beautiful reef teeming with aquatic life and hiked up a volcano which was hard work, but completely worth the experience. Diving on a largely intact WWII Zero fighter was an experience of a lifetime for a my husband. If you are not a diver, there is excellent snorkeling on offer with access to shallow reefs (our 5 year old daughter fell in love with snorkeling here). Free kayaking, off the resorts own beach, a games room and free Wi-Fi are other amenities which might tickle the fancy.
