"We loved everything about Emaho Sekawa. I have never been at a resort where I remember almost every staff member’s names and they mine because it is such an intimate experience (thank you Mary, Rusi, Sala, Kele, Vika, Genevieve, Chantel, Tom, Illi and Tete!). Given absentee owners the entire resort is run by local villagers so you get to experience their preferred activities. Everything was peaceful, authentic, romantic, relaxing. With few exceptions everything was included including meals and minibar, and meals were excellent and based on that day’s availability in the market so lots of variety. Definitely try the volcanic mud pool, the kayaking, waterfall hike(s). Off estate, most of the activities are organized through friends of the staff so again more authentic and better priced (my deep sea fishing with Abi, who they have known for years, was much lower than the cost of what was being asked the following week when I was on the other island). Anything I would change? I hear they are putting in a spa, so that would be good because there is not much to do on the estate other than completely relax (but do try the cava ceremony with the staff!). Maybe some morning yoga looking out over the amazing ocean views! Emaho is not for someone looking for a 500-person multi-activity all inclusive. But if you want the most friendly staff, complete relaxation, beautiful scenery, delicious food and true authenticity, you cannot find better. Probably our best holiday stay ever! Vinaka"

"You always dream of a place like this! This was by far our best vacation! This island set the bar so high that we feel no other vacations will live up to it. The staff was amazing and the food was wonderful! Drinking kava every evening with the crew and sharing stories was magical. The owners gave us a personalized tour of Labasa and meeting the people was amazing. If you enjoy scuba, diving and or snorkeling, every place we went was amazing. A big thank you to all!"

"Lovely and clean. Great location. Nice that breakfast was included but something other than white bread would help us."

"This hotel is a excellent place to stay very convenient and comfortable. Great food in the restaurant.lovely staff. "

"This was my second time staying at Galaxy Hotel, and I really enjoyed my stay. The room was modern and up to date, which made it comfortable. The only issue we had was with the bathroom door, but it was promptly fixed. Overall, a pleasant experience once again. "

"Very friendly staff, it’s not luxury but average linen and towels were very dirty not washed properly specially when they use the White towels . Bathroom needs a good cleanup and toilet as well. Need a proper forced shower specially when Water force was very low. Needs some improvements. Overall, I will give 2 .5 star thank you"

"This bure is beautiful inside and out, is nestled into a very lush area with and only a five minute walk to beautiful Sekawa Bay. The pool is refreshing and delightful. At Sekawa Bay, I snorkeled, walked the beach, swam and kayaked (with lots of turtle sightings!!!) Aly is a wonderful host and I appreciate her picking me up and taking me to airport, introducing/driving me to all of the hotspots for shopping, including the grocery stores, market and meat shop (for the barbecue!) and taking me to a beautiful fresh water river for a swim. Aly also has great recommendations if you have any questions. I was looking for a retreat so the distance from town was not a concern for me. There was no AC and it was a bit hot at night for me but I still give it 5/5. I hope to return to Lilypond Bure in the future. Thank you Aly & Gadget for your hospitality. "
