Makaira Resort

Das Zimmer war sehr herzig dekoriert Grosses Zimmer Keine AC, aber die vielen offenen Fenster helfen gegen die Hitze

Hat uns sehr gefallen

Mere and the whole team were super helpful, friendly and made it a very nice place to stay. The food is excellent with views of the sunset and the ocean. Very easy access to the beach where you can snorkel, grab a coffee or some more food. Recommend using their local knowledge to book excursions such as scuba diving or trips around the island. Look forward to returning one day!

A friendly small resort with the most stunning views. A short walk down to a fabulous beach where you can snorkel. The food was plentiful and divine. There is no air conditioning but that was manageable with fans and good ventilation. There are only a few bungalows which makes it intimate. Everyone was super friendly and helpful.

Our stay here was absolutely amazing. I would have to day the best part of our stay here was the staff, they are the BEST people you will ever meet, at all the places i have stayed I can in all honesty tell you i have never had watery eyes saying goodbye until this trip. We would not think twice about staying here again,, they make you feel like family ❤️

So welcoming, friendly - they just made everything easy. Great vibes with a beautiful space and attentive staff, but still felt relaxed and authentic and not sterile like a resort. Beautiful grounds, and small, so very peaceful and private. There is great snorkelling right across the road if you go at high tide.

🌺 Magical Stay at Makaira Resort – A Slice of Paradise! My time at Makaira Resort in Taveuni was nothing short of incredible. The views, the peace, the warm hospitality—this place is a true hidden gem. A special shoutout to Mary, whose massage was beyond amazing. One of the best I’ve ever had—deeply relaxing, soulful, and set against the soothing sounds of the ocean. She truly has healing hands! If you’re looking to unwind and reconnect with nature (and yourself), Makaira is the place to be. Can’t wait to return. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Relaxing place to stay . Good evening meals

Wonderful

Lovely place, very clean individual houses with wonderful showers, beds,

Enjoyed staying at Makaira resort. Second time staying here and definitely will visit again if I get another chance to visit Taveuni!

Fantastic, beautiful, delightful place. Caring staff who go above and beyond. A slice of heaven!

Der Begriff Resort ist ein Fremdwort für die Besitzerin des Makaira Resorts. Seit unserer Ankunft hat nichts auf Anhieb respektive auch mit einem zweiten Anlauf geklappt. Die Orchideen-Bure hätte auch von einem Drittklässler gebaut werden können. Die Bodenplatten waren schräg, die Wände undicht und man fühlte sich durchgehend unwohl. Privatsphäre gab es aufgrund der fehlenden Vorhänge nicht. Die Zimmermädchen gaben ihr Bestes und dennoch vergassen sie jeden Tag etwas. Entweder fehlten die Handtücher, die Duschmittel oder sonstiges. Das inkludierte Frühstück ist eine Zumutung. Nicht weil die Eierspeisen schlecht zubereitet werden sondern weil man nur von 07:00-08:30 essen kann. Ausschlafen und Entspannen ist unmöglich. Als wir eine Fliegenplage hatten, wurde uns während 4 von 7 Nächten keine Lösung dargeboten. Schlussendlich musste ich als Gast das Problem selber lösen. Wer sich auf ein überteuertes, minderwertiges Angebot freut, findet hier seinen Goldschatz. Nein Danke und nie wieder!

I will provide details upon my return.

Staff was great. Had an issue with consistant water but staff gave us workarounds. The facilities are very rustic

We stayed 4 nights in Grand suite- cottage contains two double beds with two separate bathrooms and living/kitchen area. It has wonderful views. Snorkelling is just 3 mins from the beach, but only in high-mid tide conditions. Reef is very nice. Staff is very friendly. Mary has organised our land tours (Lavena coastal walk and waterfalls in Bouma National park- don't miss them and take a guide for coastal walk as we got a bit lost) as we did our water-based activities previously in dive resort. Food was the best on this island- both breakfasts and the dinners cooked by Mary. We strongly recommend to use this option for a dinner. Two small things are to mention: no dark blinds/curtains in the rooms, so it is quite bright to sleep after sunrise and the tea pot and pots for cooking are huge (it would be good to have a small cooking pot). On weekend, it was a loud music from the restaurant below on the beach, but finished around 11pm. Overall, we enjoyed our stay tremendously.

The resort is great and the host is beyond excellent. They take care of everything for you and they ensure that you have a good stay. BEWARE! The worst thing about my stay was my interactions with the tour guide they had at the resort named Varun, of 'Wings & Fins Tours'. This person is a conman who will lie to you, overcharge you, and take your hard earned money. Varun(aka Baba) is known to lie to and overcharge couples and guests, sometimes causing them to cry. I've heard stories about him during my stay all with the same ending. I wish I had been warned about him before he got to me. He is known by the locals as a conman. If you want to enjoy your time in Taveuni, avoid this conman.

This is a small resort, with only 4 guest cottages (which they call bures), so there's a lot of privacy. There are expansive views of the ocean, including sunsets. The staff is very friendly, with a wonderful sense of humor, and we shared a lot of laughs. Our bure was cleaned every day. The dinners in their restaurant were delicious, with generous portions. Breakfast was included every morning, and activities were arranged for us.

Unique was the friendliness of ALL the staff and Mary's awesome cooking. The place is very well maintained, great sea wiew, nicely located, although requiring -7 min walking down to the beach. You need a transport to go shopping, to the airfield or to the main town with ATM machine. Less ideal was the music from the "restaurant" down at the road. All in all a place I really recommend.
