Caqalai Island Adults Only Holidays

We stayed at Plantation Island Resort over New Year for four nights as a family of two adults and three children (aged 12, 9, and 7). Our welcome was lovely. We booked a poolside room, and upon check-in, the air conditioning worked well and our luggage was promptly delivered. The room was clean and cosy, though the beds were extremely firm and uncomfortable. We also had an issue with ants in the room, which staff quickly addressed by spraying the room, though this was less than ideal during our stay. The exterior verandah and poolside area were quite run down, with cracked tiles, weeds growing, and deteriorating pool coping. This did not reflect the images online. After exploring the resort, we found better accommodation options and would recommend the Beachside Bure for a more comfortable stay. Our children loved the inflatables, though they were positioned too far offshore for younger children. While they played, my wife and I tried to relax on the available loungers, but we found empty cocktail glasses and cigarette butts left in the side table, which was disappointing. Dining at the Black Coral Grill was enjoyable, especially the sizzling steak. The Copra buffet was repetitive despite themed nights. Tavola Restaurant provided good breakfast and lunch, though service was slow. Snorkeling at the underwater museum was the highlight of our stay.Overall, we enjoyed our time but would recommend booking a Beachside Bure. An all-inclusive package would also enhance the experience

I researched for hours trying to find an island resort that was reasonable priced, with snorkeling off the beach and good food... Mana was it! Great family holiday. We spent 4 nights on Mana island and wish we stayed longer. Today, comfortable rooms, beautiful staff, plenty of activities, wonderful snorkeling right off the beach and great food. We took a few snorkeling trips to the outer reef, including a shark snorkel with our 8yo daughter which was amazing! Also, make the effort to walk down to the village to meet the locals. We bought some Roti off them and our daughter had her hair braided there. We will be back!

Rooms were clean, staff were super friendly and helpful.

Stunning location and rooms Excellent staff Beautifully kept grounds A real treasure

Thanks for your great hospitality! :-)

Rooms were very clean but a little outdated. Staff were all helpful and very friendly. Great place to relax.

Staff were wonderful. Friendly and authentic

the crown plaza property is really good. clean. staff is very helpful and always cheerful. the breakfast was ok. there were many options but every day almost same thing. no big variety. but food quality was good. indian food items were not that great but continental part of the breakfast was good.

Reception, food and beverage staff and activities staff were very nice and always accommodating. Housekeeping was a bit hit and miss and hotel needed reminding to replenish water bottles, coffees and towels. Plenty of interesting and fun activities for all ages.

Staff were very friendly except for the Indian girl at the front desk. Not very friendly and didn’t smile. Rooms were great, peaceful and clean. Overall I enjoyed my 2 nights stay. Thank you Tanoa International…

Great room with lots of space
