Naivaka Holidays from NZ$2,014

We had a great experience! 3 couples with small children, the kids and adults had the best time, the place is not crowded at all so you feel like the place is all for yourself. Sai, iovani, Wi, Bill, Aki, the male waiters in the morning and the evening, the kitchen staff and housekeeping, all offered great service, super friendly, and they sing for guests at dinner time, such good singers!!!! the tents have everything you need, we had one right by the water felt such a luxury. There is great snorkeling reef right in front of the place, the pool was great too, best place we stayed in Fiji. The only thing I don't recommend is the island hopping tour, the staff is great and super friendly but the actual tour is not good you dont get much time in each island, and they dont include the snorkling gear, not worth it as the beach at the glamping is as good or better, doesn't add any value and it is expensive.

I honestly cannot rate my stay at Papageno Resort in Kadavu highly enough. As a backpacker on a budget, staying here was a very special treat for me, and it exceeded every expectation. Every single member of the staff, without exception, was incredibly friendly, caring, and genuinely focused on making sure I had the best possible experience. Their warmth and kindness made such a difference, and I truly felt welcomed throughout my stay. I’m also a keen amateur birder and had read great things about the resort beforehand — it certainly did not disappoint. The location is absolutely perfect: peaceful, beautiful, and surrounded by stunning nature. The food was amazing every day — beautifully cooked, thoughtfully presented, and always delicious. My bure was gorgeous, spotlessly clean, comfortable, and felt very special to stay in. I’m extremely grateful to everyone there for giving me such an unforgettable experience. It’s something I will remember forever. I will be recommending Papageno to everyone I know, and I truly hope that one day I’ll be lucky enough to return. Vinaka vaka levu.

The staff were wonderful, very helpful and friendly and being adjacent to a beautiful beach was great. The continental breakfast was lovely and included a choice of one hot meal which was a pleasant surprise. Our room was clean and a staff member came every morning to see if we needed anything, eg. more bottled water. However somewhere to sit inside our room would have been good as the only place to sit was on the bed or on the deck outside. The main restaurant was very nice with a large outdoor area. The bar was comfortable with very pleasant staff. The pools were very nice but too cold for us to use unfortunately.

Great place to stay, good gym and facilities. Friendly staff.
