Caqalai Island Fishing Holidays

This is a really difficult review to write as you have to be there to understand what it’s like. The island is idyllic 500 metres to fully walk around it with clear blue sea and fantastic snorkelling on coral reefs from the beach. Sadly time and passage has killed off lots of coral close to the beach but swim out a short distance and there is endless opportunity. The boat trip and fish feeding were excellent but be warned you will be surrounded by zebra fish which can be overwhelming. The kayaking was good but going onto any neighbouring islands result in a landing fee of $15 per person so we turned around and came back. The staff are very kind and very helpful and there’s always someone to ask a question. The room was basic but really nice with exceptional views and the best sunsets. As vegetarians we struggled a little on a 4 day stay. The evening menu remains unchanged and we had the same starter and main course every night that was a little too repetitive. Breakfast was way too basic for us. 1 juice each morning limited choice and hot water for tea and coffee. Lunch was ok too. There seemed to be very little organisation with good service. Waiting a lot for menus etc. flies were a problem too and food had to be covered with cling film daily. For a 4 star resort I think our expectations were a little higher. There was lots of building work operating all day and late into the night that we were not aware was happening on booking. Loved our stay overall just honest about it

Dawn and the whole staff were fantastic. The whole island was set up for us to use at all times.

Clean rooms the house was absolutely perfect for our wedding group. We had some of the most amazing views and it was in a perfect location near the airport. An issues we had were dealt with immediately.

We absolutely loved our stay at Mana Island. It was the perfect place for our family to spend a week with so many fun things to do. The surrounding reef was amazing for snorkeling, the kids absolutely loved the beautiful pool, we loved the restaurants, and our suite was spacious, comfortable and clean, The Mana staff made the whole experience amazing with their warm, friendly, helpful and hospitable attitude. We can't wait to visit again.

Fantastic resort, super kid friendly. Highly recommended!!!

The resort itself was stunning. Beautiful pools, a variety of restaurants to choose from or order food and drinks by the pool. You can do as much or as little as you want. Activities galore for families, kids and people travelling without kids. Tour desk was especially helpful and we booked a jet boat day trip, Malamala Beach Club day trip offering snorkelling or just lazing by the beach or your private pool area. A sunset cruise, jet skiing and a massage and facials at the in-house spa. Get in early to book your activities so you can space them out. Food was great, include the breakfast buffet in your package and you won’t be disappointed. We tended to just eat breakfast and dinner. Highly recommended!!

The staff here were absolutely incredible and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Everyone was so friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful throughout our entire stay. The place was spotless, the scenery was beautiful, and the food was amazing. We honestly couldn’t recommend this place enough!

Fantastic rooms (better than the photos suggest!) and staff. The drinks were great, and very generously portioned. The excursions were consistently lovely, especially to the private island which we found amazing. Shout-out to Rocky who was a great guide! Main issues were that the food tended towards being a little overcooked, and the main pool was out of order for our whole stay with no discount or similar offered. Overall though, the hotel and staff were great and we'll probably come back.
