    Wonderful relaxing private resort

    • Bungalow - Beach Front
    • Stayed 5 nights

    We were a little disappointed in the beach been washed away outside of our hut as the photo's looked like a beautiful white sandy beach but everything else was so amazing we soon got over that and swam where the boats came in.

    We cried when we left as the staff made us feel so welcome and part of their family. Loved the Resort friendly dogs, the food was amazing and nothing was a problem, making me delicious gluten free options fresh every morning. we loved visiting the village and the children coming to sing us on the Sunday. Anna the massage lady was also a treat and the snorkelling just a small boat ride away the coral was wonderful and colourful.

    It did seem rather expensive but you have to consider the effort to bring the supplies in.

    The location was stunning as were the snorkelling trips. The staff were exceptional, you genuinely felt most welcome and special . Loved the social over cocktails with like minded guests.

    Personal attention and care of amazing staff from the point you get off the boat to the point you leave the resort. Boutique resort with only a few guests at any point. We actually were even alone on the resort for a couple of nights which felt special. Facing calm waters even during sea storms, beautiful reefs within minutes of a boat ride. Very nice burres with panoramic glass doors which we kept open to allow the breeze during the day. Fine cuisine with local ingredients and freshly caught fish.

    Great resort with very friendly staff, beautiful room and a stunning ocean scenery. We loved our trip with the kayak to visit other islands and the swim to the neighbour island. The food and cocktails were also extremely delicious!

    I have never stayed anywhere before that offers such a wonderful welcome and you really feel like you are being looked after by family. True Fijian hospitality. Beachfront Bure was perfect overlooking the ocean. You feel so relaxed as soon as you arrive. Paddle boards and kayaks are free to use and lots of excursions available. If you are lucky Dolly the resident dog may join you on your paddle board. Good vegetarian options available too.

    Breakfast and lunch were great, dinner was not as good as expected.

    The amazing location, very friendly and personal approach of the staff and the very comfortable and stylish decorated apartment. The welcome and farewell songs were the icing on the cake and really enjoyed the trip to the Blue Lagoon and positively surprised to have a massage included. Also liked being picked-up by small boat from the ferry.

    Chilled luxury beach resort with amazing staff and great food
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Two-Bedroom Bungalow
    • Stayed 3 nights

    Although we had a basic and adequately stocked mini bar, the room lacked tea and coffee making facilities of any kind. This necessitated walking to the main building just to get a morning coffee. Our villa showed signs of age, with an old style fridge and a tap missing from the inset bath. The building next to our villa looked abandoned and was shut up. The decking of our villa showed signs of age and the roof was missing most of the decorative straw leaves. While this 'unmaintained character' adds to the charm, at times it feels like the owners have not invested in the resorts upkeep.

    Best features are the beach, location and the friendly, professional and attentive staff. The food was very well prepared and presented. The resort has a classy elegance with a chilled vibe. Beach equipment was there to be used, or not as you wanted. Our 2 bedroom, beach front villa (bure), could be accessed by the beach or via a footpath, and had bags of character, with tall ceilings, exposed wooden rafters, and white concrete floors, seating areas and steps. While it showed signs of wear, and lacked some of the modern trappings we now expect in luxury resorts, such as a coffee maker, not having these added to the ambiance. I highly recommend Navutu Stars Resort as a place to relax and unwind, knowing you'll be well taken care of.

    Thankyou (Vanaka!) a wonderful location with all the adventure of an island retreat with an authentic atmosphere serving up a varied menu with deliciously prepared meals. You will meet the most friendly staff who will welcome you as family. Comfortable and huge bedroom hut with big comfy bed, own garden and sun loungers & hammock to relax in. With a variety of activities ( 2 per day) to choose from, such as snorkelling with sea horses, village visit, fishing trips, hiking, and other cultural weekly events such as Kava ceremonies. Or you can sit on the beach bed and relax and listen to the sound of the water lapping. The bar is open all day with a great choice of cocktails. Nothing too much trouble if you ask the staff for anything. We had the comfort of spacious and well appointed accommodation with the charm of an island village whilst we enjoyed meeting all sorts of nationalities of all ages over a pre dinner cocktail or after dinner. We only donned our sandals on the odd occasion but spent the week moving around in bare feet and bathers. You can be as active or relaxed as you like , social or isolated as you choose. Did I mention the complementary massage? If you want an earthy but comfortable whilst authentic experience for your holiday, and wish to enjoy the freedoms of choosing activities or not! with wonderful staff along with views of the most colourful aqua waters whilst being in a part of the world which honours tradition and wears the largest smiles then this is the most perfect location for you! If you want a standard hotel room with block outs which shield you from the natural ebb and flows of island life then think again!! This place is heaven and will leave you wanting more.

    Beautiful island. Expensive but well worth a visit.

    Being charged $11 FJD for a 1L bottle of water seemed exceptionally greedy when an island further north was charging a much more reasonable $5 FJD. Either that or a 500ml bottle for $6 FJD - yikes! There is no other option than to drink the bottled water so you have no choice but to spend extortionate amounts. Most of the staff were exceptionally friendly throughout our stay but on our second night it was a different story. A few staff members seemed really miserable and much less friendly. Put a bit of a dampener on the stay. Finally, and perhaps the issue I had the most problem with, was how they price their meals. On the first night there was a vegetarian option on the 'main' menu, so my partner and I chose that. A beautiful pasta dish costing $51 FJD each. On the second night there was no vegetarian option on the 'main' menu. When querying this, a lady told us there was a whole separate vegetarian menu, one with around a dozen options. All of the vegetarian options were much cheaper, at about $38 FJD per meal... which included the same meal we had on the first night that cost $13 more. I thought this might be a mistake but no, when the bill came, I had been charged a different amount for the SAME meal. When I queried it the lady gave some bizarre reason a long the lines of "different menus, different prices"... When I told her I wasn't given the option of looking at the vegetarian menu, she apologized but I was still charged $51.00 and $38.00 for the same exact meal. Absolutely baffled, and still really unhappy about it. It seems completely unethical to be charged $13 extra for the SAME. EXACT. MEAL.

    Beautiful island. Incredible accomodation. Room was cool, spacious, clean and very comfortable. Chairs and hammock out the front of our burre so we could relax in comfort with a great view. Breakfast was basic but tasty. Lunch and dinner was EXCEPTIONAL. Hats off to the chefs who produce some outstanding meals. The four dogs on the island were so sweet and friendly. They are obviously very well looked after and loved unlike other dogs we have seen in Fiji who, sadly, do not have the same beautiful life.
