deVos - The Private Residence

Amazing stuff and chef. Breakfast and dinner 10/10. Property itself is very rundown. Needs a good update and it will be a great place to stay. Needs a little reno and good clean. Location for snorkeling is amazing but Coral Coast is very very windy and a lot cooler than Nadi area. Keep that in mind.

Stay to experience the awesomeness.

Great location staff and food awesome plus the cocktails

A slice of heaven- the most beautiful peaceful place staffed by gorgeous people like Colly and Lorry and the owners Chris and Annemarie are like family- everything about deVos was perfect- if you want perfection this is where you should go Already planning our next stay Tamara and Marty

We picked this property for exactly what it was and we got what we asked for

Love everything will definitely be back for another holiday.

I didn’t get to stay for this trip as I was admitted to hospital so tried to cancel and get a refund. The resort do not answer the phone or reply to emails so I’ve paid for a stay I didn’t take. Positively atrocious customer service.

Loved the beach bungalow that we were given. Spacious & clean room. The view was absolutely amazing. This is a great place for family vacation.

Wonderful location and friendly helpful staff. The bure was lovely. The snorkeling gear needs replacing as much of it is in poor condition.

Great place and wonderful friendly people, very relaxing, fantastic location

It was worth every cent and view was amazing and staffs was very friendly and great with there service.👌

Wotif didnt confirm our booking with Devos despite sending me a confirmatiom email so we had no where to stay when we arrived. It was easter and all the other hotels were fully booked and we had a 10 month old baby with us. The owner of DeVos kindly offered to put us up in their apartment at short notice as we had nowhere else to stay. I am sure e would have really enjoyed staying at devos if we had the chance and the staff were all so friendly and helpful but unfortunately due to Wotif completely messing up our booking the start to our holiday was completely ruined. I am so disgusted that this can happen and will definitely not be booking with wotif again.

Having our own bure by the ocean was very nice. However we had multiple problems that were quickly resolved. The property in general needs updating and better maintenance. Housekeeping didn't clean spiderwebs and a live spider between guests. Ant trails up the wall, small fan that was filthy and barely worked, rusty old mini-fridge that stopped working and ice melted onto flooring, inadequate lighting, no over mirror lighting. Wifi was only strong in the main lodge. Continental breakfast was good and plenty to fill us up. We had dinner one night and it was the traditional lovo meal with a kava ceremony. The food was cooked in a fireplace. It was just ok. In spite of these minor problems, we loved staying here. I chose it because it is authentic Fijian, not a tourist resort. I met the owner and some of his family. They were such nice people. This is not a luxury resort. it is more like a family beach lodge. They made us feel like family. You can't pay for that.

I really enjoyed my stayed Ryan was very welcoming and the people there were great. Lovely workers and i enjoyed every moment staying there. Thank you DeVos :)

The place is great, just off the beach and with lots of activity gear included in the price (snorkeling, kayaks, paddles, etc). However it is really hard to find the place if you are coming on your own. Do not trust the Google Maps location, it is not located near the roundabout in Sigatoka. It is 20 minutes farther down the road to Suva. From sigatoka, you need to continue your route down to Suva for about 20 minutes. At some point you will see on your right the Hideaway ressort, that means you are close. A little bit farther down the main road you will see a big cement wall with flowers on top. Just on continue an take the first entrance through that wall. Then make a left on continue until the end of the road and there is the property. There is no sign, so don't worry just go inside. If you have reached the Total gas station near the cement wall that means you have gone to far, so just make a uturn. Staff is very friendly, food is ok some of the courses have good value for money. Some cleanliness issues in our room as an ant highway made its way through the window in the bathroom. I would recommend though.

Hotel was on the beach and walking distance to a supermarket, atm and service station, nice areas for snorkelling and walks along the beach, easy location to catch taxis and local buses. Staff were extremely helpful and cheerful. The Mango view room we booked was disappointing and photos did not give a true indication of the room. The room needed a good clean, even though housing did come in everyday, the room was not properly cleaned. We stayed for ten nights in total and there was three days in a row that room was not touched. There was only one key to the room, which was inconvenient. The fly screens were not sealed so mosquitoes could get in if windows were left open. The room was comfortable, beds were comfy, no tv, tea and coffees and sugars were not replenished until the last day. Food was excellent and owners very helpful when asking to books tours, cars etc. Has a nice feel to it downstairs and around the premises, swimming pool a decent size and nice to sit around it while having meals. Overall our stay was comfortable and good for what we paid. Main concern was cleanliness.

We where greated by the owner Ryan who looked after us from when we arrived to when we left. The room was nice and big and right on the water. All the staff where helpful and one staff David invited us to his village to met his people and experience his culture. Breakfast and lunch was amazing. This was cheaper then the bigger resorts and you get a more authentic experience. Thank you DeVos!

We spent over 2 hours trying to find the place, it has no signs at all and comes up on google maps in the middle of a roundabout 20mins drive away. Tthe manager told us he had been told a number of times that google was wrong but hadn't yet contacted them. The address is also wrong on Expedia's website. Our rooms bathroom hadn't been cleaned and the door wasn't hung it was just leaning against the wall. I told the manager, he moved us but didn't apologise just made up excuses. 2nd room had a tray of tea, coffee and sugar packets covered in ants as it had opened packets on it. Back to the manager, more excuses, no apology. The kettle in the room could only be turned on and off at the power point as faulty. A pressure pump outside our window turned on and off all night disturbing out sleep. The waste paper basket in the bathroom (only bin in room) wasn't lined and needed cleaning. Our room wasn't serviced at all while we were there, each day we were given a different excuse why it wasn't done. The chair and rug in our room was filthy with years of ground in dirt. Meals were expensive and very slow, 2nd night we had to wait an hour just to have our order taken (only 4 other people eating) Last morning breakfast was 2 hours late.

Was a tough place to find. No signs on the roads. Expedia/last minute show on map place is in sigatoka but no where near. An error in system needs to be fixed. Place was lovely. Pool great, ocean even better 20metres away. Quiet, relaxing and food onsite. Would stay again.

Our family enjoyed an excellent stay at De Vos - the Private Residence. Our spacious bure was right on the beach, where we enjoyed snorkelling, kayaking and paddle boarding most days. The staff were fantastic and aways willing to help. As this is a smaller resort my sons were delighted to have the swimming pool largely to themselves. Definitely the right place for us
