We loved this place. It is a small resort which means the service was so excellent. The food was very tasty.the rooms were great but no AC but that is ok because it was all about the experience. The staff really wanted to make sure we were happy. It was our favorite leg of our adventure. Please choose this place. You will love it too.

It’s hard to explain how much I loved this place in only a few words. From arrival to departure I was blown away with the amount of hospitality we received. By the time we left, I left like I was leaving my family. The entire staff goes above and beyond to make sure you have the trip of a lifetime. From the food, to the activities offered, to the beautiful rooms, to sharing in their culture, it was all incredible. If I could do it all over again, I would only stay at Navutu (instead of 3 days on the mainland). I look forward to going back and can only hope that anyone reading this, books their stay with them. You will not be disappointed.

Prior 2 arrival, no matter the No. of ??s, the staff is very accommodating &helpful. Sai made it his mission to make certain all logistical ??s was addressed to our satisfaction &offered to assist with the various transfers. Upon arrival, the resort is as beautiful as pictured &well kept. From the beginning to the end, the staff is very warm, friendly, &welcoming. Dan, Varani, &Penei greeted us with welcoming smiles which never faded. Welcoming massages, the best! We've made many great memories &feel very welcomed to return. As for activities, were pleased with the daily selections and variety. For the $$ activities, the costs were reasonable. Also, they were very accepting of guests' activity requests &would make it happen for you. Our highlights were private beach picnic, sunset cruise, blue lagoon snorkeling &the cave visit. Solo made it his personal mission that everyone had a great time while out on an excursion with him. He was extremely patient with helping me snorkel. His persistence &patience were very much appreciated. Regarding dining, the food was top notch, definitely 5-star worthy! Hats off to ALL chefs; all selections were just lovely &exquisite. Kula, To, and Lidl were great service attendants. They were very friendly, personable, & attentive. Their consistency made it a pleasurable experience every day. We celebrated a birthday during our stay. All made it a bday we'll never forget. From the ground keepers to the bath ladies, big thanks to all!! VINAKA!!

Everyone on staff is a local. They greeted us on the beach as we pulled up on our long boat with a song and a couple of drinks. They offered excursion 3 times a day, but doing absolutely nothing except taking in the scenery was just as rewarding. My wife and I would go again and again.

We LOVED Navutu Stars for our honeymoon. The staff really make this place special. By the time we left we felt like family. The Food is amazing, as are the activities that are offered. Nothing is ever too much trouble and they don't force anything on you. We wanted to go spearfishing one day and the staff organised for men from the local village to take us out & then the chef cooked the fish for us for dinner. Cocktails are also fantastic. Our room was huge, and very private. For a true Fijian experience which is less commercial than most of the other Fiji islands we would definitely recommend Navutu Stars. Bula!

Look no future when planning a place to stay in the yasawa islands. From the stunning and peaceful location, and enhanced by great fijian people who were really friendly & attentive that are offer the warm bula fijian Hospitality! This resort has won many awards for its service and location. We really appreciated there being only a maximum of 20 guests and 10 bures. We were in bure 1 with the sunken in tub with a large deck to see and capture the sunrises was simply amazing!! Loved the Navutu Stars kava ceremony as we joined all the staff and the other guests as we celebrated a 60th birthday and Staff member millie who was levaing the island. My wife and i left the resort in tears and cannot praise the team at Navutu Stars highly enough and we cant wait to see them all again soon. Much love Marc and Fariza. Sota Tale!

Awesome resort!
My husband and I stayed at Navutu Stars Resort for 2 nights. We wished we had stayed there longer. Our villa was steps away from the beach. The resort is small, which is great. We used the sunken tub in our room one evening and it was great to just soak in the tub. Right outside our room we had the use of two lounge chairs and a hammock. The service was great at the resort. They had a board listing the activities for the day and you just had to tell the front desk what you are interested in doing. This is an adult only resort. The food wasn't bad. We had breakfast included with our stay and we purchased the half board meal plan which was for a 3 course dinner each night. You do have the option of ordering ala carte as well. Truthfully I don't know what would have been better for us. All the staff is super friendly and willing to help with anything that you need. We would definitely come back here.

Expensive resort, good beach and facilities.
Overall stay was excellent. Was a bit expensive: food, drinks, water, much higher than any other resort. Fortunately we took plenty of water bought at the local supermarket in Nadi before arrival for $1.30 / 1.5 litre compared to the resort price of $6.50 for 250ml. The staff is super friendly and helpful.

Fantastic location
Fantastic staff, location and food. Its not a luxury resort despite being advertised as such. Everything was excellent apart from: 1) the bed was awful, time for a replacement, 2) food was in Fiji dollars except if you order a half or full board then its in USA dollars which is not made clear or advised to you by the staff, 3) this is an isolated resort in the tropics with no water supply, they supply you with 500ml of water a day, what a joke! really if they are inviting guests to an isolated island then the necessity of life being water should be included in the room rate

We stayed in Garden Bure number 2 which was beautiful and private and two seconds from the pristine beach. There are free and charging activities - do both they are very reasonably priced. The massages are wonderful too - and you're given a complimentary one when you arrive!!!!! We can't thank Navutu Stars enough for making our holiday so special and one to remember.

Pure Paradise
The resort was pure paradise. Something you dream about. The bures were perfect, giving us a true Fijian experience, without being over the top. The staff, food, communal dining area, bar, and beaches couldn't be faulted. It was a bonus having a village on the island where you could visit and see how the Fijians live. The school children put on a singing performance for us, which was a bonus. The snorkelling, paddle boarding, kayaking were all great fun. The resort looks out to beautiful aqua blue, coral waters. Perfect location for a relaxing holiday. Only 20 people staying on island at any one time. The Fijians are the happiest people and most sincere people I have met. They are always smiling and go out of their way to make your stay memorable. We shall be back for sure.

Fiji Paradise
Navutu Stars was definitely the highlight of our Fiji trip. It's located about 4.5 hours boat ride away from the mainland, therefore we had already expected to have a very private and quiet stay there. However, what we experienced there was still above our expectation. The hotel is beautiful, the room is clean and comfortable, the staff were all very friendly and professional, the island is quiet and overall very relaxing with amazing water and view. The food was also super delicious! There were cool activities offered every day such as morning yoga, deep sea fishing, snorkeling, scuba diving etc, so we never ran out of things to do. We really enjoyed our stay there and I will bring my husband back with me next time!

Fabulous relaxing stay
Huge bures and really friendly staff. Lots of activities on offer, or the opportunity to just relax. The village visit to the school was a highlight for me. Restaurant has a full vegetarian menu, which was great. Bar had a nice selection of drinks and a special each evening. The only thing I think some people may dislike is that the sea goes out a long way when the tide is out. The beach was lovely though and you could wander all along and swim in the deeper sections.

Thank you so much Carolyn for choosing Navutu as your Fijian island getaway and we are glad that you had an enjoyable stay. Unfortunately the tides are a natural phenomenon and something that we cannot control but this is normal on any maritime location where the tide is in or out for 6 hours at a time. We are glad that it in no way dampened your spirit and that you got to enjoy all that we had to offer. We look forward to welcoming you back at the resort on a return trip sometime soon

Great except food and beach
Pros: Lovely bures and facilities very friendly staff, not very crowded, a great place to rest Cons: Very expensive and out of context food, beach is so so. Food is Los Angeles prices and Italian cuisine!! who wants Italian food where I can get it everyday in the US? We had to really ask hard and investigate to get local food. Beach is not what you would expect of Fiji, especially in low tide, which is very unpredictable, you are stuck with land activities. Also very windy location with high currents, which renders most water activities useless in high tide.

Fantastically amazing!!
I vacationed at Navutu Stars Resort because it received Tripadvisor's top reward for 2015. Well, it should receive another reward for 2017. WOW!! The service, the people, the food, the atmosphere totally exceeded my expectations. I have never felt such warmth and kindness on my vacation as I felt at Navutu. From taking Yoga with Tariq, who also invited me to her church and who's village showed me so much kindness and also invited me to lunch and served me delicious food, to getting a massage from Lewa, who's just phenomenal and also gave me a Chamba to wear to church, to embracing the full spirit and warmth of Watee (thanks for the fan) and the sense of humor of Jojo and Asherri and Lita. This is an experience I will forever remember. Now to talk about the food - DELICIOUS. I'm a Vegetarian and they actually had a Vegetarian Menu. Wow! Everyday I tried a new dish and I was not disappointed. Bravo to all the chefs! The tomato stuffed with fried rice was my absolute favorite. Also, I experienced a Kava Ceremony. I highly recommend it. It's a great way to meet and embrace the community. The Lovo Celebration was also awesome. This was when the food was cooked under a heated earth - Phenomenal! The pumpkin rice was DELICIOUS. Go to Navutu Stars Resort and have an experience of a lifetime; I did. Vinaka!!!
