Yasawa Island Resort

This resort is a must if you travel to Fiji. We visited 2 years ago and knew we wanted to return. The staff is our Fiji family. Each individual cottage is so well built and maintained. Manassas and his wife Wati are the original builders and both still stay active at the resort. I encourage travelers to not just stay on the main island, but discover the surrounding islands.

I’ve wanted to visit this place for a long time and finally made it. Although it was a bit of a dodgy start arriving late because of weather, we were met with a beautiful Fijian welcome. I will admit I was a tad disappointed originally being put in a tired bure (no 3) surrounded by renovation work, however we were moved the following day into a Deluxe Bure (no 10) which was amazing and much nearer to the beach and pool area. I loved the outdoor shower although it could do with extra toiletries here as the Shampoo etc are fixed indoors. I also enjoyed having a personal hammock and beach chairs that I could retire to with my book. Kadee and her team were absolutely delightful and we ended up having the most amazing 8 nights at this resort. Staff are so friendly and treat you like family. Thank you to Omi, Wati and Manasa (he is very respected being one of the founders) who were always so warm and friendly. The food options are limited, but it’s incredible 5* food and beautifully presented. I really enjoyed the relaxing vibe here except for the odd guest who unfortunately spoiled it by having loud video calls and playing annoying tik toks in public. Although there is a small note at the bottom of the menu, this is not easily visible so a polite verbal mention during the arrival transfer may be a better option to keep noise at bay We also had the same music all week which all the guests noticed and found rather funny so a few more CDs would be good

Yasawa Island Resort was stunning. Our villa was amazing and right on the beach. The staff are so friendly and helpful. Great conversations We were able to witness a sea turtle laying her eggs on the beach and then in the morning see her trail back into the ocean. The air travel arranged by the resort to the property was incredible

We enjoyed our stay. The staff was super friendly and always happy the help. The food options were nice, I felt like I was always full! The beachside Bure was a highlight. Being steps away from the water was so nice! Beach walks were or favorite! There were maybe 40 guests and it felt like we had the beach to ourselves most times! Lots of space to spread out and enjoy!Everyday at 6:30 pm you can book your excursions or massages for the remaining days. They also have an option for private picnics. With the picnics don’t expect the same lunch you would get at the resort it’s more of a quick packed lunch. I only loved the picnics for the private beach and crystal waters! I want to add a WARNING. For the Yasawa caves excursion done on Fridays and Tuesdays. Please use caution. They don’t have any safety warnings about people who don’t know how to swim. We sadly went though a very very tragic accident. A man drowned in the dark cave portion. He, along with his wife, were the only two wearing life vest initially and were told they could not wear them for the dark cave portion. The fact that there are no CPR trained professionals at this location really angers me. This death could have been preventable. It left us with heavy hearts. This is not for kids. Not for elder people (steps to get in and out are sooo steep and slippery). Not for claustrophobic people. Not for people who are afraid of the dark. They really aren’t that beautiful anyways. I would not recommend that activity.

Staff is fantastic

Things are getting bit old. One of the customers here step into a wooden step and it broken he injured his leg. Cleanness can be improved as the towel are bit yellow and smelly. Insects are really annoying at night, mosquito net is necessary but they didn’t provide in the room

Hotel was very nice - bungalow right on the beach and very spacious. Hotel provided lots of activities (snorkeling, paddle boarding, blue lagoon visit, etc). However note that not all activities are offered at all times so if you don’t stay a whole week you won’t be able to participate in all the activities they have listed. Also even though an all inclusive - food was limited. All meals were served in a sit down setting and certain times during the day. There were approx. 3-4 options. There is a snack menu offered a la carte, but it’s only full meal options and not really snacks. It would be nice if they offered chips, fruit salad plate, etc that’s just a snack between meals.

Air conditioning could be a little better. Everything else was excellent!

Very nice!

Paradise on earth

Traditional Fijian experience and much clearer water than say, Denerau. Lovely staff. Great day trips included, such as snorkelling off a boat, secluded picnic by boat, kid’s activities etc Spa was so lovely as the big bifolds were open and the sea breeze was so relaxing.

Amazing resort, great food, beautiful secluded beaches where you picnic alone with your partner, great spa! Service is impeccable! Regina is an amazing host! We were there during a heat wave and the room A/C was not enough to keep it cool! Portable A/Cs will be great! Highly recommended!

This was by far the best holiday me and my wife have ever been on the breathtaking views start from the moment u get on the plane and take off to paradise . The clear blue water surrounded by coral reefs and awesome snorkeling is just the start the resort it’s self is amazing and every staff member is so friendly and helping every hour of the day and awesome activities daily will definatly be back was perfect

Beautiful setting- spectacular Great beaches Delicious food

I love Yasawa Resort and Spa, it’s an absolute heaven on earth. The staff are very friendly and service is exceptional. We enjoyed our stay, we love all the inclusive excursion and food was just ok. We highly recommend this place

We liked: the quietness of no children- been there done that, Bure right on the beach. Small number of guests- could be as inclusive or as isolated as one wants. Disliked: paying $30 extra for alcoholic drinks (1 shot) in an all inclusive package. Disliked: credit card fee on top of VAT and other taxes (after paying over A$950 per night

This resort is special because it is so peaceful and not commercialised like some resorts in other parts of Fiji The beaches are pristine and unspoiled- all of the staff are very friendly and polite. It is a great location to get away from it all

Crazy blue water! Nice coral, friendly team

The food was fantastic. Lots of fresh seafood. The seafood dinner on the beach is a must. I also recommend the tuna. Staff were always extremely helpful especially Sam in the activities bure.
