Bula Riaz!We're glad you enjoyed your stay with us at Taveuni Dive Resort. The staff in turn enjoyed having you and your partner for 8 nights. It appears you enjoyed the stay, accommodation, food, diving and the staff. Please come back for another visit. Big Vinaka vakalevu from everyone at the resort.

If you are trying to decide where to go - just pick this property The staff and people are amazing and that makes your stay. The diving and snorkeling is incredible. It’s worth the trip to the island The rooms are good, with fans that keep you cool enough as it’s cooler overnight in Tavenui, The owners are very good and run a great business, they really care about the guests and it’s boutique with great service. The diving is very well organised and my 14 yr old son did a discovery dive and loved it. We snorkelled most days and saw amazing things. Just book it!! And make sure you stay for 5 days or more

Bula Navid,Thanks for the great, short, and to the point review. It was a pleasure conversing with you prior to your arrival, and the staff all enjoyed having you at the resort. Indeed, some things are a bit 'extra' in cost, but you've experienced our remoteness - so there are some small reasons for this. :-) Glad to hear you will be returning. We look forward to it!Vina'a' va'alevu from the entire staff at TDR!!!!

Taveuni Dive Resort offers beautiful roomy bures (bunglows) surrounded by gorgeous grounds and ocean views. The meal service is bountiful and delicious and the onsite diving service offers several daily dive plus snorkel excursions out to Rainbow Reef. They are also happy to assist in setting up tours around the Island including Bouma National Park and waterfalls. Each and every staff member from dining to diving provides exceptional service.

Perfection in Paradise
We went for the world class scuba diving. We were not disappointed. The reefs are pristine and the life is abundant. The resort is ran by an American couple. It is In perfect condition and is ran like clockwork, very organized. From the time we got off the plane, all we had to do was relax!

Absolutely everything one could want in a luxury dive resort. Exceptional service, wonderful cuisine, friendly staff, outstanding dive conditions, short walk or ride to the marina, and best of all the crew handles all your gear so you don’t have to worry about anything and can focus on enjoying your stay. The Rainbow Reef is a world class destination and among the best for blooming soft coral and tropical fish variety. Highly, highly recommended.

This resort is targeted at divers and offers a calm, peaceful and lush base for a great diving trip. Staff in general were very friendly and helpful. The manager went out of his way to check in occasionally to see if all was ok and if we needed anything.

Bula Thank you very much for the review. Since we are an eco resort we have solar water, but if issues with water we can turn on a booster (to warm the water). We value your review and understand there is more to work on with the water. Thank you so much and enjoy your day.

Perfect stay and bit of luxury for dive holidays
The resort is perfect. It’s bit pricey though foodwise and diving but it’s worth it. The bures are clean, spacious and comfy beds. The food is yummy abd it’s easy going with the pre-order. The cater for vegetarians and you’re not just getting the sides or anything boring. Jyst give yourselves time for breakfast (1hr before the dive), if there are multiple guests. Staff is super friendly and it’s a great hospitality. The diving is awesome and the team is professional. Reef is intact and you see lots of small fish and corals. 2 tank dive in the morning and if there are 2 people you can do another dive in the afternoon. We hired once the boat in the afternoon fir snorkeling and going to a beach on Vanua Levu. The boat hite is far too expensive with FJD 600.

Wonderful time in Taveuni!
Yes, YES, YES!!! My husband and I were in Taveuni from Thursday - Sunday and had the most amazing time here!!! Taveuni Dive Resort arranged for our taxi from the airport to the hotel, and we were greeted upon our arrival as if we were family that had just returned home from a long journey. The Chef, Clare, is WONDERFUL and she worked with my food allergies and always had lots of options for everyone! The resort is pristine, very clean, and very safe! The dives were absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! And if you want to be driven down to the boat, they will drive you down, but it is only a 5 minute walk. All the dive equipment is up to date as well, and if you NEED wifi, it is provided for free! There is a safe built into every bure, and these bure's are just magnificent! On our last day, they even arranged for the driver to take us to the rainforest, and he waited with our bags in the car while we hiked and they packed us a lunch and he dropped us off at the airport! The owners are a wonderful couple named Carl and Muriel, and Jon is the manager and he is awesome! Ju was with us for every dive and he is just as awesome! Carl, Muriel, Jon, Claire, and Ju - THANK YOU for making this trip so memorable! This is world class service with a local touch! Wish DC was closer to Fiji so we could visit all the time!!!

wonderful place, staff and location
This resort is well worth the stay. It's new, the grounds are beautiful and it's close to excellent diving. The staff, and owners are genuinely nice, very attentive, very accommodating. The food is great. The dive masters working at the resort are excellent. Beware, there is no air conditioning but, the ceiling fans do the job. Bring bug spray, as it is the tropics. This is a 'dive resort' so don't expect a 'beach lounging' experience. There is a pool and a nearby black sand beach though. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Für Taucher und Nichttaucher außergewöhnlich gut. Das Dive-Resort hat eine wunderbare ruhige Lage! Mitten im Garten der Garteninsel Taveuni. Noch dazu an der Somisomo Strait. Nicht weit das Rainbow Reef und Whitewall! Taveuni ist ein Juwel und das Resort auch!

Bula, Thank you for your feedback. You are correct our resort is mainly a dive resort. However, also available is hiking to the wonderful waterfalls, sightseeing,kayaking and snorkeling. We are a tropical island. Our resort is a blue certified eco resort, hence we have no aircon in the rooms but we do have ceiling fans. Again, thank you.
