This was a more intimate stay. Everything was easy to find. A friendly arrival welcome. Comfortable beds, good AC and the waves on the shore were soothing. At 10:30 am absolutely go snorkeling with Luc. This way you know where the best spots are, the currents are and he shows you amazing things. They way way way overcharged $12 for bottled water. This should be free and unlimited if the tap is not clean. Cleaning staff didn’t show up until very late in the day and only did our room once in 4 days. It was sad maintenance repairs were behind and poorly done but the hotel was going to shut down completely to be refreshed and staff were sad about not going to have jobs. The renovation should connect the side and front deck. Deck door was old heavy and needed repair. The screen was sort of tacked on with big nails. There were very few guests. The location is very beautiful and it’s a place to relax. The road in was very bad deep potholes. The food was just okay. There was a guitar player who sang that was at the bar. He was very talented. They also had a free fire dancers one night. The activity board should show the whole week not just the day so everyone can plan. We enjoyed this relaxing stay.

Vieillot, et pas en très bon état. Beaucoup trop cher vu la qualité de l'hébergement. L'endroit est magnifique.

Fantastic stay! Yatule is second to none on all fronts. Wonderful staff, amazing location, and delicious food. You won’t find more caring and attentive staff anywhere on the island. These people care, and it shows in every single aspect of the hospitality they provide. Will absolutely stay again. Highly recommend this resort, regardless of your length of stay. You will not be disappointed.

Staff were good & friendly. Accommodation was tired . All sun shades - 3 - were broken as were most of the sun beds. Food was good & varied. Very quiet - everyone in bed by 9.30!!! A re- fit is supposedly due in May 2024 to re-open in July

The facility is old and in dire need of renovation. The restaurant menu is not diverse and food was terribly overpriced for the quality level. Of course, the scenery is lovely (it's Fiji!), but the rooms need a facelift and there was even an insect problem in our room! I hear they are soon to remodel....hopefully, these issues are resolved.

The resort is small, very quiet and provides a personal touch by the staff. They were over the top friendly and accommodating. There is a beautiful beach and a reef close by. Our only concerns were the state of disrepair of some amenities, cleanliness of beach lounge chairs and the garbage that washed up onto the beach not being picked up daily.

Tbh place was extremely terrible in terms of zero privacy and locals seem to evade all privacy at all times . No place to sit and benches had nails all open and very dangerous. Zero breakfast expectations with saying “breakfast include “ be aware breakfast only has bread and fruits and if you want real food be ready to pay . Place has zero levels of medication- fell sick at place and hotel didn’t even have basic paracetamol on site - shows there is nothing at hotel except when you throw money . Locals harass to the point to buy this buy that it was peaceful to stay inside the room .

My family and I really enjoyed our 5 night stay at Yatule Resort. The staff were incredible, so helpful and friendly. The food and drink options were great and the prices were very reasonable. The staff organized a birthday cake for my Mum, who had her 80th while we were there, and they sang for her which was amazing! Yes the accommodation could be refreshed a little but for us it was no big deal!!!! Afterall we only slept there! The lovely ladies that service the rooms did a great job and asked us daily if we needed anything. We are already planning our next trip to Yatule xx

The beach is absolutely the best beach. Staff are very friendly and helpful. It is the best place if you are only here to relax for 3 days. Perfect place to chill. Very inconvenience, too far from town and airport, no taxi around so you have to book from the tour desk if you wanted to go out. No restaurants in the area, only Intercontinental and you have to purchase a pass for $65 a day so you can access the facilities, restaurants...The restaurant at Yatule is very good, nice foods but very limited, we ate almost the same foods for 7 days, no varieties. Hope they will change and have more in the menu, more nightly activities to entertain the guests as it is too far from town.

The most positive aspect of staying at this hotel was the kindness of the Fijian staff. They went above and beyond regarding customer service. On the other hand, our bedroom had some issues that needed maintenance, including some loose cabinet doors in the bathroom and broken furniture. When informed, the staff couldn't solve the issue as the administration was not committed to the hotel's functioning and maintenance. The beach was dirty with some rubbish that negatively impacted the Fijian experience.

We are beach people so we chose this resort for it's location. The Beach is walkable and beautiful. Snorkeling right out in front of Bures. The most charming feature is the staff. This is a Fijian resort. It has Fiji staff and an island vibe. It is what we were looking for.

Unique Fijian operated property that was beautiful and not sterile high end like the property next door. The staff went out of their way to make sure all the guests were happy and well looked after. The pool was great. Unfortunately we only were able to snorkel one day before the cyclone came but still enjoyed the big waves and storm watching.

The staff is very friendly. I could not get used to the semi private bure with connecting door which offered no sound proofing. It is unfair to expect the guests to sort it out themselves. However, I understand this is the same at other resorts. I was next door to a honeymooning couple from Newzealand. Thankfully they were very kind n understanding. Anyone who is booking a bure in a resort should be aware that there r 2 adjoining rooms per hut. No sound proofing. Buyer beware😀
