Independent in Yasawa Islands from NZ$85

"A beautiful property and such a wonderful stay. Api, Jerry, Ratu and the whole reception and dining team were so warm and kind. They made a real effort to learn and remember everyone’s names, greeting you personally at meals and whenever you passed by. We’d highly recommend the free nature walk – it’s a great way to learn about the property and the plants growing there. The complimentary 10-minute spa foot ritual was another highlight, with gorgeous views over the grounds and the ocean. We celebrated a birthday during our stay and were treated to two birthday serenades, a personalised dessert, and fantastic room decorations – including a huge “birthday cake” made entirely out of towels. And the homemade cookies they leave in your room each day? Don’t be shy about asking for more! Whilst the average age of guests was generally 50+, we enjoyed the property just as much as a couple in our late twenties. Even at our young age, the clear absence of children made the whole place feel calmer, more relaxed, and wonderfully peaceful."

"We had such a fantastic stay at Mantaray Island Resort – we’d go back in a heartbeat. Our beachfront accommodation was perfect, the food was tasty, and the excursions and activities were amazing. We celebrated a birthday while we were there and really appreciated the extra touches – the decorated room and the restaurant serenade. A highlight was visiting the local village – an unforgettable experience. One evening, we had a private beachfront dinner with excellent service from Pita, which was a real treat. We wouldn’t think twice about staying here again on another Fijian Yasawa Islands adventure."

"Our stay was amazing from start to finish. We had lovely accommodation with great amenities and especially enjoyed the double-headed outdoor shower – such a treat. The beachfront was absolutely beautiful, with crystal-clear water just like you’d imagine on a paradise-like island in Fiji. We celebrated a birthday while we were there, and the little extras – the decorated room and the restaurant serenade – made it feel really special. And the food… delicious every single time. We’d go back in a heartbeat."

"Absolutely stunning – we had the most wonderful resort stay. We were allocated beautiful accommodation with excellent amenities and particularly enjoyed the outdoor shower experience. The resort’s beachfront was breathtaking, with crystal-clear waters, just as you would expect from a paradise-like island in Fiji. We celebrated a birthday during our stay, and the thoughtful room decorations and the restaurant serenade were greatly appreciated. And the food – absolutely delicious, every single meal. We would return here without hesitation. 10/10!"

"I asked ChatGPT to suggest a non resort, run by a village in the Yasawa Islands. Top choice. I had such a special experience. Beautiful people. "

"It’s a small resort, but it was still impressive that everyone on the staff knew my name within the first few hours…service was impeccable, while keeping a conversation up with all the guests…the bar area was very social…and the massage therapist had a good touch!"

"Wonderful view from bure’s. The menu needs more variation eg lunch is entirely taco’s one day (just different flavours), next day lunch is entirely pizzas (different flavours). Lunch is very expensive 30FD for a toasted sandwich. Ran out of snorkelling gear one day because people did not have to return theirs each day. Housekeeping staff did great job - friendly & responsive to requests. Would stay here again"

"Generator noise"

"Amazingly located, beautiful and well provisioned without feeling too 'resorty' or sterile. Definitely recommend the snorkelling!"
