Loved this place! Tranquil and affordable. One thing is Wi-Fi is too slow to really do anything but starlink could fix that easily! I would get ~1mbps. Maybe we shouldn’t even need wifi but for practical reasons having a reliable source is nice.

I really enjoyed my stay at Maravu Taveuni Resort. My bure was beautiful, with the added charm of an outdoor shower, and felt tucked away in the jungle while still offering stunning sunset views over the ocean. The shower had trouble with water pressure and heat with the drought. The staff made the experience especially memorable. Ima and the front desk team were always warm, welcoming, and helpful. Rafa and Cali were incredible guides. I had a great time on my trips with Rafa to the waterfalls and the Waitavala waterslides, where he taught us so much about the island. I also appreciated that he helped me and another solo traveler split a trip when not enough people had signed up. It meant we still got to enjoy the experience. Cali and Rafa also shared local traditions and knowledge, from basket weaving to identifying fruit trees, and the nightly kava ceremonies with music were such a special way to connect with Fijian culture. The resort itself feels less “resorty” and more like an authentic island experience, with a strong sense of community and adventure. The staff go above and beyond to help arrange snorkeling, diving, taxis, and guided excursions. The restaurant food was excellent, and they were accommodating of dietary needs. Maravu is the perfect choice if you want to experience the natural beauty and culture of Taveuni with kind, knowledgeable people to guide you. I left with wonderful memories and would gladly return.

Loved my week long stay at Taveuni. I decided on this place for the grounds, accessibility to the ocean, and opportunity to interact with others. The plantation grounds were lovely. Rooms are variable - I recommend Bure 112 (upgraded) or 5. Haven’t seen many others. The restaurant was reliable - big meals in the evenings. Great omelet and pancakes. Try the road for the best roti, papaya and plantains or a fish meal for $1.50-$5 US. Kava and songs in the evenings. Lovely ladies in staff will help you with everything you need. Fins and snorkel, towel rental. Shower out back for late flight departures. Nice pool. Central location. Excursions with Pete, Mateo and Batman car were great. Walking distance to a couple food places, airport and two small markets, and beautiful evening sunsets (Tramonte)/sunrises.

The staff were very nice and our bure was nice and clean. However, they fail to mention that they run on a generator and there is no power between 11am and 4pm. We had an outdoor shower that was nice but couldn't get any water pressure or hot water reliably. Sometimes the water was hot for 30 seconds, sometimes not at all. When you're constantly going into the ocean, you need a reliable shower to wash off the salt and sand. The restaurant had good breakfast, but no free coffee or tea. The rest of the meals were sometimes good, sometimes not so good. I think it's difficult to get groceries on Taveuni. The supermarkets have very little variety of food. Online they said it was a 3% fee for paying by card at the restaurant, but they charged us 5%. And for all the tours you have to pay cash. While the rainbow reef was amazing, and so was Tavoro falls, there is very little to do on this island and very few beaches. 5 days was too long on the island, should have been 3.

The accommodations, a large garden bure, was authentic, nice decor and well maintained. Very large outdooor shower was interesting. Hotel is very close to the airport which is why we chose this lodge as an overnight stay. Lack of staff customer service brought the rating down to an Okay. Every interaction was disappointing (or non existent ). Check in, wrong room, no electricity until 4pm, no welcome drink although lobby signs offered, and hotel breakfast nor coffee not available at designated time. But overall value and true “Fiji time” well represented.

Staff are very friendly. Rooms are basic. We did have a small dorm-sized refrigerator, electric tea kettle, and a small selection of teas and instant coffee. We had hot water for about 1 minute while showering. There was a mini-split for hot days. Nothing fancy here so if you're looking for a special vacation, consider other options. We felt the price was very high for what you get. Also, be aware that they shut off the power every day from 11am-4pm to let the generator "cool off". Would have been nice to know before booking.

Stayed in the treehouse and it was a very long uphill trek from reception with suitcases (staff didn’t help) as well as 40 steps up to the room. Wouldn’t have booked the treehouse had we known it was such a trek to the room. We stayed for 3 nights, housekeeping didn’t attend our room throughout the duration of our stay, no clean towels provided, water or even basic amenities such as shower gel. The room was covered in bugs and spiders and even a lizard managed to get in during the night! Would not recommend.
