Naviti Island hotels from HK$182

"The best vibe of both staff and lodgers. It was quiet and relaxing yet fun. We partook in most of the free activities like coconut bowling, basket weaving with palm fronds, and touring the medicinal gardens, as well as the paid activities like cave diving, reef hopping and village visit. We enjoyed the free SUP boards and snorkeling gear and laying in the shade on the loungers or bean bags. At one point I watched in the distance the young kids screaming and noisy next door at Blue Lagoon and was so thankful we were at the down to earth and chill Oarsman’s Bay Lodge. Food was great, room and outdoor shower perfect, and bed very comfy. Staff was so kind and helpful, we were on a first name basis with many of the staff and actually made friends with other lodgers from Canada and German by the time they left. Josh, Luke, Andi, Suli, Maria, Ben’s! Thank you so much for your hospitality! I hope we can come back before too long!"

"Booked 5 nights and ran away after one night. Really terrible place though the staff is very nice. It’s not written but there is no electricity for few hours a day and that means no fans working at night while it’s super hot and humid so no sleep. Wasps flying freely in the rooms, no lock and overall a bad experience. Feel bad for the staff because they are real good people "

"Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Out little tree house was neat and tidy. Wonderful place to visit. The reef was excellent too. Directly out in front."

"This place and these people are amazing. What a great stay, you won’t be disappointed. "

"When we arrived our aircon wasn’t working, at 31 degrees it was a necessity. They did not have another beachfront of the same category available, so they wanted an extra £50 a night( we were there for 7 nights) to put us in the next category. We refused and after a long discussion they relented and put us there for 4 of the nights. I have to admit both properties were shabby and needed an upgrade. The superior property had a hot tub in the outside shower room. It was dirty with about 2in of dirty water with 2 crabs in. Not a good welcoming start! It was impossible for me to get into the water along the whole length of the resort. They have built a protective wall with lots of slippery rocks to clamber over to get into the water, which is full of grasses . A lot further from the resort is a beautiful beach, sadly, it was too far for me to walk. You cannot use it on a Tuesday and Wednesday as it belongs to Blue Lagoon Cruises and they have it for their exclusive use when the ship docks there. The breakfast that was included was the worst I have had on 9 weeks touring. On the positive side lunch and dinner were the best I had in Fiji, there for nearly 4 weeks. The snorkelling from the boat was amazing, they were extremely considerate and caring. The staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly with Oscar, the bartender, the star of the show. Needless to say , we left the island early, without a refund!"

"This lodge is not up front about letting you know there is a hefty mandatory per day food charge. I booked through Expedia expecting just lodging but found out after booking my room and the ferry to take me there that there is a non negotiable $20 tender fee and $80.00 op per night food charge. There is nothing on the Expedia site about this and Expedia was not helpful. Unfortunately I booked 2 days prior to arrival and had a non refundable return ticket via the ferry so could not change. There is limited power, no eSIM data and no wifi so I had to keep the booking. Like other island resorts they really need to state up front, before you book, the full cost of staying there. This is an all inclusive not just a room booking as you are lead to believe in Expedia. Expedia is aware an to date has not updated their site. Just be aware the cost is a lot more than advertised. "

"The staff were beyond friendly and helpful. They were wonderful , from Kasa the manager, Bunny , Sophia and ? In the kitchen to the guys who provided us with coconuts and fixed any problems. Our outside shower was fantastic despite occasional water supply problems "

"Very relaxing place with a lovely staff"

"Perfect sized family resort with luxury touches. We are already dreaming of returning. We’ve stayed in tons of properties around the world and this one is a gem. The staff were so nice to our children and we even got some adult time while the kids were in the awesome kids club. Everyone had a wonderful time and the food was also very good, especially the lunch curry specials. "
