Buliya Island Holidays from NZ$1,969

Serenity Island Resort offered us a truly memorable stay thanks to the incredible staff who made us feel like family. A special thank you to Emosi, Nate, David, Peter, and Seru for their kindness and hospitality. Our oceanfront bure had beautiful views, and we enjoyed walking in the shallow waters at low tide, spotting purple starfish and other sea life. Snorkeling was good all around the island, and the sandbar trip to the coral walls was a highlight. The resort is older than pictured online, and some equipment like kayak paddles could use updating, but the experience was still lovely. The handline fishing was fun, and the staff fried up our catch for a delicious meal. The lovo dinner was another standout. We recommend the full board meal plan as the food was fresh and varied each day. One challenge was with their reservations team, based off-site, who were out of sync with the actual resort schedule. Activities we pre-booked, like massages, fishing, and scuba, did not match what was available, and we needed medical clearance for scuba that wasn’t communicated. It’s better to book activities once you arrive. Despite a few hiccups, Serenity Island Resort offered a wonderful experience filled with warmth, culture, and beautiful scenery.

Great place for a family, friends, and couples. The staff was super friendly and knew your names. It was extremely relaxing and had an activity a day to keep you occupied. I highly recommend the beach Burre it was hidden away and so relaxing.

Clean rooms the house was absolutely perfect for our wedding group. We had some of the most amazing views and it was in a perfect location near the airport. An issues we had were dealt with immediately.

Sadly the reality of this resort was not quite what was promised when booking. Major plumbing issues causing bad smells and water off or limited pressure for over 2 days of our stay. While we thought there were 2-3 dining options there was only 1 restaurant and 1 menu. Also limited places to take a decent walk and communication overall was poor. We were unaware of significant renovations occurring on the resort and felt that there was not enough acknowledgement of the impact this had on a hard saved for holiday. Would definitely not go back and would not recommend
