Crusoe's Retreat

The staff were wonderful and the place is beautiful. The gardens are very well maintained. There are activities everyday and music in the evenings. The people living in the village next door are very friendly and the children are very nice and respectful. The spa is wonderful. The chefs are friendly and answer any questions you may have about local food.

Operational staff from the village were all helpful, happy and friendly. Meals were lacking vegetables. Continental breakfast and availability to have cooked breakfast was terrific. Loved being involved in daily organised activities at retreat , including village tour. I feel that locals and reception staff could work together moreso to provide transfers for guests to allow more options. Overall a memorable experience with Fijian locals. Vinaka

Unfortunately this place was nasty.

Everything worked out well. Most or all the rooms had a/c, staff very friendly and helpful,all rooms clean and enjoyed the fresh fruits and baked goods daily. Maybe get a little creative with the free breakfast.

Rooms clean and spacious Staff very friendly

We enjoyed our stay. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. The grounds were nicely kept. Limited options for food menu but everything we ate was very good. Wifi was excellent.

Air conditioning worked, but only if shutters on screen windows were closed, allowing no natural light nor any outside views of ocean, garden etc. Breakfast was often stale bread, canned pears and peaches. The staff was wonderful. The Administration, not so! For several days they kept ducking me in order to avoid hearing multiple complaints about the difference between their VERY OLD website and the reality of the resort.... including filth, no activites, no entertainment, no spa, no gourmet foids, no clean sandy beach, housekeeping finaly after a week, dead fish in the outdoor shower removed after 3 days of asking, .... A refund was not an option accirding to a vety vain Administration young woman for the majority if the 21 days booked. I left early, loosing at least $900 Canadian, and refused to pay the small amount i owed for some meals. Were it not for the Staff the days there would have bern total hell. They did their best. They did tell me they had had to call in the Ministry of Labour. Setting is paradise. Living there is not.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Most of the staff lived in the village next door which was lovely, as we were able to to experience the village such seeing their church, village hall and some of the ladies who lived there and their Handicrafts. Food selection was average, but the chefs was happy to cook food to order if there wasn't anything suitable on the menu. Room was clean and tidy with air con and a lovely outdoor shower. Location was a bit secluded but was on a beautiful beach front with another resort further along the beach.

Great service

Wonderful place to visit.

Air conditioning

Friendly staff and clean room. Absolutely beautiful views. The resort was very quiet when we were there which was lovely.

Staff was amazing

We had a fantastic time. Seleema who managed the activities was fantastic.

Such a beautiful, out of the city place, next to an active Fijian village! An abundance of culture, beauty, and relaxation! I'd go back to them anytime.

This is a lovely place to wind down. Down to earth, not flash just great location and kind staff.

I’ve been here 15 years ago when it was under different ownership. So I returned to find it to be very boring & undeveloped. Price changes for food daily here, it goes up 50% depending on the crowd. The food is just okay if you’re really hungry you can eat it. I didn’t understand not getting a room key to lock your door, we were told they lost them all so we had to leave the door unlocked at all times. This place needs a facelift. The good news you would love the staff & the village next door. They will feed you if you’re hungry & personally I was starving

Our room was serviced daily.We had an awesome view of the ocean an surrounding areas.Abit let down on the spa pool not working and pool needing a good clean bit other than that staff were awesome and had an awesome sense of humor an we were informed about activities nightly

Crusoe’s is in a peaceful bay with a beautiful outlook of the sunset, but the service is below what we expect in Fiji. Checkin was lacklustre - we were left standing around and no one showed us to our room. When we got there it didn’t match our expectations - all beds no comfortable place to sit. We moved to a beachfront Bure which was better with a pleasant patio. Service was slow and the resort felt unloved and empty, like it had seen better times.

4th trip!
