This was a great property, staffed with amazing people! Mere and her staff made us so welcome and was there to assist us with all our needs prior to arriving, than with a delayed fliight, missed flight, to getting us taxi to where we wanted to go even though we kept changing our minds. It really was a wonderful experience….food…..breakfast and dinner….DELICIOUS! Seriously so scrumptious! I had tears in my eyes when we left….such wonderful memories made! If you get the chance try a massage….best I have ever had! Hats off to Mere, Small (for getting us coconuts) and everyone else!!! You are in our hearts forever!!

Makaira is set up on a hill with a beautiful view of the ocean and a nice white sand beach at the bottom of the hill which has excellent snorkeling. The grounds are lovely and relaxing and the staff are kind and helpful without exception.

Great position with beautiful views. Menu was somewhat limited and the restaurant below the property is overpriced and pretty basic. The lack of air conditioning is ok for a day or two but difficult to endure for a longer stay as the weather is very hot.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff and accommodation are ideal for lots of activities on Taveuni. The Makaira family make you feel right at home but also have the privacy to do what you want if that is your desire. It is a very relaxing place to get away for a break. The meals were really great. And the local staff made the organizing of tours very easy. Booking a fishing Charter with Captain John gives you the most knowledgeable deep sea fisherman and the joy of success. The bures are simple but functional The phone and Internet on the island is variable which can be an asset if you are trying to get away from work for a few days. We will definitely be back.

Everything and everyone was really great. We felt like we became part of the Makaira family. Food was way better than anywhere else on the island. The staff was very helpful and very friendly. They made it as stress free as possible. Definitely a place that we have to go back to.
