Find Hotels in Taveuni, Fiji

We had a great time at Sau Bay! Stayed for a week, and dove for 4 days. The diving is amazing - very beautiful, healthy, colorful and plentiful! Carl was great as divemaster, very helpful above and below the surface. Rainbow reef is about 25 minutes from Sau Bay. People who stayed and dove other places told us they had the best experience here, both for accommodations and diving. We even snorkeled Sau Bay and it was excellent! Nigel and Carol, the owners, were very kind and helpful, and fun to talk with. Sara, who waited on us all week for meals, and Bera, our main cook were terrific! Very kind, informative and service-oriented! We tried lots of Fiji dishes, and enjoyed them. Their fruit desserts with homemade ice cream were the best! Rachel always did a great job taking care of our room. One note: you can only get there by boat: you fly to Taveuni from Nadi (about $230USD per person, taxi to the Jetty ($30FJD each way), then took a boat to Sau Bay ($100US per person R/T

We've just returned from a wonderful week at Taveuni Island Resort and Spa. This is a small boutique resort, yet Ric and Do have managed to retain a real family feel. Their grandson Richard and three dobermans add wonderfully to the atmosphere. While food options are limited (as is normal on remote island resorts in Fiji) every single meal was really tasty. The bonus was the fine selection of New Zealand wines, thanks guys! We were mainly at Taveuni for the diving and were not disappointed, the Great White Wall dive was probably the best dive I've ever experienced, closely followed by Rainbow Reef and The Zoo - a huge thanks to Maika, Paulo, Bill and the rest of the team at Taveuni Dive, a really professional yet relaxed dive operation. The beach close to the resort is limited but there are some really great trips (try the coastal walk and the trip to the natural waterslide), you just need to make the effort! We were really well looked after and everything organised for us. Thanks to everyone at Taveuni Island Resort and Spa - we will most certainly be back soon Sue and Dave

The place is awesome! Close to the beach and the most affordable accomodation on the beautiful island of taveuni. The room (8 bed dorm) was really big and had one bathroom to share. The staff is super friendly and goes out of their way to help you. They are really lovely people. I especially liked the kava evening, I learned so much about Fiji and the traditions from the locals. The food is also very good and the prices reasonable. Only the trips are a little bit expensive (like everywhere in Fiji..). Definitely can only recommend to stay there! It was my best accomodation in 2 weeks! :)

This was our first time in Fiji (with my brother). Upon arrival to Taveuni, we were told that the bridge we needed to cross in order to get to Garden Island Resort had collapsed! An over-weight truck apparently was the cause. Once we arrived to the bridge by taxi, we saw that all this was true. Wow, what a sight that was! The truck and the bridge was in the river below! In any case, this wasn't a problem bc were were greeted by Sean (resort manager), Phil (resort owner) and Co. on the other side of the bridge and they drove us the rest of the way. It was nice to know they cared enough to come collect us. Once at the resort, we knew this was a nice place. Everything was relatively new. Our room was beautifully presented and clean with great ocean view. Room service was great! I love how they change the flowers in the rooms daily! Nice touch even though I was traveling with my brother :) The staff were extremely friendly - very humble and genuinely caring, even to our smallest needs like insect repellant. Attached to the resort is a dive shop run by a fantastic and friendly team of divers. This was perfect for us in particular as we were their to dive rainbow reef. Each morning all we had to do was wake up, have breakfast and walk across 1min to the dive shop - could not have been better! All their scuba gear were high quality and all maintained to a high standard. My dive instructor was a fantastic man (goes by the name Tawake) and he was awesome. I completed my Open Water Certification with him. Rainbow reef was an amazing place to do this. So in essence, this place was perfect for those seeking a diving adventure. Most rainbow reef dive sites were only 10-15mins by boat, pretty much at your door-step so-to-speak. We were there for 5-6 days in total (extended our stay bc it was good) and we were very pleased overall. They are currently building a pier in front of the resort which should be complete by Xmas and this will make the place even more fantastic!

We stayed for 5 days for our honeymoon and it was way more than enough. The island is beautiful and the waters are serene but it just wasn’t worth the travel for us. A RT flight from Nadi and just the 20 min boat ride and a car ride to get to this remote island for nearly $400US is a bit outrageous for the amount of money you’re spending to stay on this property. Everything operates in Fiji time, which is fine but not when it involves the time that meals are available. Meals are available 1.5-2 hrs after it says that it is available. Likely so you can spend more at the bar, which is not inclusive in your all-inclusive meal package. Not even soda or any fruit juices. This interrupts our planned activities snorkeling is at 2:30pm and we’d often just finished lunch and unable to go. The demographic is geared towards older travelers (retired) and divers. The only great thing is that the staff are absolutely amazing and goes 120% beyond your expectations.

We absolute loved our 1 week stay. The staff are fanfastic and the beach villa with 2 separate rooms + small kitchen/living area was ideal for 2 adults and 2 teenagers. We chose the resort for its proximity to rainbow reef +white wall and the dive sites were amazing! Diving was organized through the hotel with Taveuni Ocean sports. Julie and her team were great. The whole diving experience was very professional and well organized. The hotel boat shuttled us 15 min to the reef where we met the dive team’s boat. All equipment including right size wetsuits were prepared...The coral is the best we have ever seen (previous diving include Malidives/Ari and South Nihilande Atoll, Indonesia/Sulawesi.. Just be aware that with no other restaurant or hotel close by you’ll have to get all your meals in the resort. Having said this, the food was excellent! (the 4 of us spent about USD400 per day for breakfast, 1 course lunch and 2 course dinner as well as some drinks each day. )

Ten reasons why Aroha is the perfect place: 1. The location is really on the beach front and every morning the view took my breath away 2. Aroha is well positioned for you to visit the two waterfalls and the Natural water slides. A good base to explore various parts of Taveuni 3. For scuba divers, when the tide is right the Taveuni dive operator will pick you up in front of the villas and you are 15mins away from rainbow reefs! 4. The Great White Wall is one of TOP 10 dive sites in the world and you are only mins away!! 5. The villa gives you full privacy and it's very well design that you will enjoy sea breeze all the time, comfortable indoor and outdoor areas to relax. The outdoor shower is a nice touch and water pressure is good to deliver relaxing showers consistently. Good vanity and wardrobe area with a safe to store your valuables away. 6. Villa is very clean and Housekeeping does a good job to provide clean towels and tidy up the place daily. Shampoo, conditioner, bath soap, hand soap and a handy bottle of sunblock are provided. Complimentary coffee and tea bags provided for you to enjoy in your villa 7.Food is awesome! Continental Breakfast is just right for me and for lunch my favourite is the wood-fire seafood pizza! Daily Dinner Specials designed to provide variety and they also take other orders should you fancy something else. The grilled fish with pineapple sauce + salad and rice is simply delicious! 8.Good selection of local beers and New Zealand wines, all are reasonably priced. Owners-Dennis and Ngaire took great effort to carefully select the wines, look for the freshest food supplies to provide the best experiences for the guests! 9. Sincere and good-old days hospitality that warms my heart. Dennis, Ngaire, Laisa, Maria, Jim and rest of the team put in their best effort to ensure you are having the best time! 10. With the good quality of the villa, food and the impeccable service, it's great value for your money!

Taveuni Dive resort is really set up well for divers of all categories including beginners like me. The staff are world class instructors but are very patient and thorough. Safety is at the top of their priorities. Also they have a fleet of boats which take just minutes to get to some of the top diving locations in the world. You can also snorkel right off the beach. Even I live near to the great barrier reef in Australia I have to say I was impressed. The atmosphere is very warm and welcoming. Thanks for a great 4 days

We, a group of three travelers, stayed 6 nights at the Maqai Eco Resort. Its located on Qamea, a little island off the Taveuni coast. The resort is pretty, basic and directly located on the beach. The staff is extraordinarily friendly and helpful, the food was excellent. Unfortunately, snorkeling wasn't too good since we had strong currents and cyclone Winston devastated parts of the reefs. Still an amazing place and its really impressive to see how the staff rebuilt everything after the cyclone which hit this area hard in February.

We had a great stay at Dolphin bay Divers Matei. Extremely accessible from airport, about a 2 minute walk. There are 3 flights a day that come in and noise is not an issue at all. We actually checked in for our flight back and then walked back to Dolphin Bay Matei to just chat w/ Robert (the owner). Once the plane flew in overhead, we walked back to the airport and just jumped on the plane. The house is comfortable and has great views. Mango tree by the side of the house, bananas and papaya in the back and coconut trees all around. While there are other houses nearby, you cannot see them due to the lush gardens. Power is provided by a generator from about 9:00 am to 12:30 and then again in the evening from about 5:30 til 9:30 pm. There are lamps that are recharged by solar for evening activities after generator cutoff. There is also a wifi connection that is available for a small charge, we paid $15 total for access. Beaches: Taveuni doesn't have many traditional big beaches and Dolphin Bay Divers meets standard Taveuni. There is a private walkway down to the beach which gives you direct access to the ocean. The reefs have been beat right out front but you can still snorkel and see some cool fish. Would highly recommend diving w/ Dolphin Bay Divers for trips to the Rainbow Reef. We saw sting rays, sharks and great formations (ask about the cabbage patch dive, was fun!). Food: There are some nearby stores for food shopping and restaurants. Can also arrange to have meals cooked for you by the cleaner/caretaker. She makes fantastic Indian so highly recommend that!

Lucy, lala, and all the staff were amazing! My wife and I felt right at home and welcome to the makaira family. The homemade breakfast each morning overlooking the ocean was the best way to start the day. Beware there is a water shortage so showering at night can be difficult, but out of makaira's control. Captain John is also the man when it comes to fishing. Awesome gear and accommodations to make a great fishing trip. Buba is also an amazing guy with a wealth of Taveuni knowledge. If you go anywhere, consult Buba first! Thank you makaira for showing us a wonderful time on taveuni!

Ants in the bed, no water in the tub, low pressure water in the bath. I couldn’t find the staff to tell them my problems. Insects and gekkos around the place, and it was hot at night. No A/C, only one fan for all rooms. I wouldn’t stay there again. It’s in the deep of the garden, you will need to walk to the ocean/restaurant/everywhere you need for at least 10-15 minutes. Imagine it under hot sun or pouring rain.
