Mango Bay Resort

Loved the whole vibe of this resort. Was so peaceful and quiet! So glad we rented a car and drove down from the airport for our first few nights in Fiji! Super cute resort, simple charm, lovely people!

I escaped not just to a beach, I escaped myself. My anxious thoughts vanished, time slowed, and certain peace overflowed and consumed my existence. In this space I found the time to hear the sounds of nature, I found myself appreciating the texture of the sand and grass under bare feet, I found clarity and a sense of cleaning away the burden of the past few months of daily life in a wash of cool crystalline water as I snorkeled around the cove, over coral reefs and inlets, but most of all, I found my breath. The perfection of Mango Bay comes from its imperfections. Its charm deeply embedded in its character, the people, and its connection to place. For those who prefer more factual detail; # Brilliant communication including organizing all airport transfers, tours and activities. # Great amenities - with sea kayaks and snorkeling gear on hand at no cost. # Beautiful rooms, comfortable beds and real beach side villas. # Loved the outdoor shower - was the perfect way to start and end a day, under the sun or stars with complete privacy. # Attentive staff, great rotating food menu's and fantastic selection of drinks (shots especially) Is it perfect, no, is it rough around the edges, yes.... but this is what makes it special, and this is what makes it unique. Can't wait to get back to a place that made me feel like I was home.

What you pay for is what you get, beautiful place! Only down fall was the shower hot water didn’t always last but again still worth staying at!!

The sheets were dirty. One mattress was broken

Quiet and secluded. I stayed for 5 nights.. there was one couple there when I arrived in the evening, and they left the following morning so I had the place to myself for 3 nights 😁 Staff were friendly. The owner was helpful in organising an excursion for me personally. Pablo (one of the owners dogs)was my sidekick for the trip, he followed me about...cute. I really appreciated the on sight activities provided (as and when required) I had waited 50 years to go to Fiji, and I wasnt disappointed! Beautiful island,with friendly people. The accommodation could do with a bit of a facelift, but for the price, just think basic (Travelodge quality) The continental breakfast was ok. The evening meals were, average I preferred the pasta dishes overall...and wish I'd stuck to 4

Great resort, nice Bures, good restaurant and bar, with reasonable prices. All staff are super friendly and helpful. Beautiful gardens. Free and ample parking on site. Loved watching the sunset over the ocean every evening. Highly recommended.

Mango bay was not what we expected from photos, beautiful setting but accommodation terrible, stayed in a beachfront burie, cockroaches in room, very dirty, toilet not able to flush and appears to have been this way for some time and same for others, outdoor shower left grit in hair, left early due to unsanitary conditions, but were declined a refund, Staff, especially Tina were lovely, manager didn’t acknowledge us or deem to discuss concerns on leaving, not worth the money

Loved my stay here. Very praceful and quite. Menu & drink options are good. Private and peaceful beach.

We booked 7 nights but only stayed 2, was happy to cut our loses and move to a more upmarket resort nearby. I really don't like to write bad reviews about our stays. My big mistake when booking here was only to read the good reviews. I should have read the bad ones which were pretty spot on in hindsight. Having said that , i believe some people might like it here although i found it isolated and dreadful and couldn't get out quick enough. Just not my cup of tea , expected way better when you consider the rates are almost on par with the more well known resorts.

Rooms renovated shower damaged n washroom not up to level. No heated water. Had to clean the wall fans so to get clean air. I love the delicious tasty paid food but they should add more on included breakfast menu

This property is right on the water with views you cannot not beat! The customer service was incredible and the property itself is like out of a magazine!

Great place to stay if you just want relaxation by the beach. Staff are so friendly. It is a bit out of the way which we liked as it meant there wasnt an overload of people.

Fantastic stay, a small very quiet resort with a very personal touch. Owner extremely helpful and always available. Staff are amazing with a very personal touch. Accommodation was a rustic cabin with an open air bathroom, which gave the stay a really rural feel. If you’re looking for a modern shiny ceramic and chrome type hotel then this wouldn’t be for you. Overal a great vacation.

Ed and the Mango Bay team went out of their way to make sure we had an enjoyable stay and an amazing week in Fiji. We stayed in an oceanview bungalow which was close to the pool and restaurant/bar area and really comfortable with a lovely outdoor shower and the convenience of a fridge in the room. Continental breakfast was included in our booking served from 7:30-9:30. It had the normal coffee/tea/juice/toast and cereal and also included fresh fruit and a local pastry. Food is available all day and is lovely and fresh with daily specials which always include a local fish recipe. The cocktails are great too and you can’t beat having a pina colada in the pool! The pool is lovely and big with sun loungers and a couple of cabanas. There are standup paddle boards, kayaks and snorkels/masks which guests can use for free at high tide. You can also walk along the beach/reef at low tide. Ed was really knowledgable about local tours and booked the tubing tour for us (not to be missed) as well as giving us advice on getting the local bus so we could do the Bula coffee tour (also recommended) and see the town of Sigatoka. We also arranged a transfer direct with the hotel which was much easier (and cheaper) than using a local company. Overall we had a greet stay and were made to feel really welcome and part of the Mango Bay family!

Mango bay resort is a beautiful private little resort with bungalows in a lovely tropical garden. The beach is right in front of the restaurant for a beautiful view and free snorkelking, kayaking and paddle boarding in the private bay. Food was delicious (love the Fish tacos), prompt and very affordable. Ed and his team are very friendly and go above and beyond to help you and make it a great experience to stay there. We just got home yesterday and are already missing the place.

We booked Mango Bay for the location, between Sigatoga and Suva. The proprietors Ed and Jen were always approachable and really liked that they would spend time getting to know their guests. The grounds were well landscaped at all times and the canoes, snorkeling and paddleboards in excellent condition. All the staff from Reception, House Keeping, Kitchen and the Bar made you feel so welcome with happy smiles as they went about the day. Vinaka!

We really liked our stay here, staff is friendly and the owner dropped us at the bus station 2km further. It was quiet, we were about 8 people at the same time for the entire resort. The garden bure was huge (2 bathrooms) and confortable. The resort is isolated but perfect for some rest. Snorkeling & kayaking were free and the reef was magical. Restaurant was good but sometimes not in huge quantity. We recommend this place to anyone who like peace.

I can't say enough good things about this resort. We arrived late because of flight delays but they had someone waiting for us to greet us at the resort gate. They kept the kitchen open so we could have something to eat. Right from the start, everyone was extremely helpful, friendly and professional. We stayed in an ocean front Bure and it was everything I was hoping for. A thatched hut, shower outside to give an authentic experience. The food was the best we ate in Fiji and reasonably priced . Mango, Kelanie and Pablo the resident dogs are there if you are missing your fur baby at home and so super friendly. Atmosphere is Fiji time so if you want to relax you have the spot. Plenty of water equipment to snorkel, sea kayaking, day trips as much or as little as you want. Ed the owner is very accommodating to you needs so if you forgot anything, ask Ed. I wish we were closer than half way around the world away or I would go more often. Thanks Ed and staff for an amazing experience.

The owner and staff were especially helpful and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. Not a swish upmarket resort but a very personal, friendly, relaxing place.

Pros Very remote ,freindly staff and affordable holiday. Nice swimming pool, free breakfast. Cons long way from any where and definitely need mosquito net in burrei. Conclusion Covid has hurt this resort but they are trying very hard to get moving
