Barefoot Manta was amazing! We spent 5 nights and had the best time. The staff were incredible, especially the resident marine biologist Rob who was a mine of information and enthusiasm. There are 3 different beaches to snorkel from and the snorkelling was the best we have ever seen, it is a protected marine reserve and we participated in coral planting which was great. The Manta Ray trips happened on 3 of our 5 days, it is a bit of an uncontrolled bun fight with various resorts sending their boats to see the mantas but the Barefoot Manta crew were educated and respectful. The resort is beautiful and has a lovely vibe, the staff were so friendly and helpful. We stayed in a double Bure on the sunset side, it was a permanent tent and it was all that we could have wished for, right on the beach. The meal plan is really expensive by our standards, I would have preferred an al a carte option as I have food restrictions and I found that eating salad and rice for almost every meal was boring and repetitive. The staff did try though, however $40 Fijian for salad and rice was a bit on the nose. Bring snacks! It would have been good if they could have made the tea/coffee available all day and maybe had something available for afternoon tea as it is 6 hrs between lunch and dinner. We do recommend this place.

Il migliore 👍🏻 della cultura esterna è un buon servizio, qualcuno è dolce e molto buona spiaggia. Sento che tutti i dipendenti si girano intorno. Ci sono buoni insuli vicini 🪸 un buon terreno di immersione, cioè, una barca è lontana dall'isola principale. È possibile andare al porto di Denarau con il numero del Pacifico meridionale. Non è necessario prendere un elicottero. Una piccola barca vicino a ～ ha un ristorante diomakasa giornata. Il chef Mark è molto serio, Abbiamo seguito Sam e siamo andati a Soso Village, abbiamo imparato la storia locale, le chiese e le scuole, e abbiamo avuto una grande esperienza.

We chose Octopus, because it had child-friendly facilities and were not disappointed. Octopus has a kids club, a separate teenagers club, option to hire a nanny, kids menu and a children-only dinner table, a playground, plus a variety of free activities. The staff were fantastic, kind, friendly and made every guest feel special. The meal choices were varied and plentiful, we never went hungry and could choose options that suited every taste. Breakfast is a combination of buffet (eg toast, coffee) and an ordered meal (eg scrambled eggs or pancakes). Lunch is one large ordered dish (eg a pizza or a tuna salad). Dinner is a 4-course meal with a starter, sorbet, main dish and dessert. Food was fresh and of high quality. The resort has its own pizza oven. The island’s weather and scenery are absolute paradise. Cyan blue waters full of corals and colourful fish. We were treated to a scenic sunset every evening. We hope to come back.

Bula! This may have been our favorite vacation of all time, hands down. From the first moment we stepped foot on Waya island and were greeted by the welcome song of the incredible staff till the moment we tearfully left we felt cared for, appreciated, and absolutely relaxed and happy. Our check in was led by Moji, who should be the ambassador of the island if he isn’t already, he showed us to our bure which was beautiful and so clean. The outdoor private shower was incredible and we loved having our front porch to sit on at night and listen to the ocean (which was basically in our front yard). Over the course of the week we got to know a bunch of the staff, big Api, small Api, captain Jim and Mac, Ela, Sulu, Lui (restaurant) and Lui who taught us how to make bangals, Tiki who maintains the grounds, and so many more who’s names have escaped me. Every member of the staff was kind, caring, informative, friendly, and made us feel like family. The all inclusive food option was perfect, breakfast was delicious every day and had options for eggs and waffles etc and also a delicious fruit plate, lunch was light and healthy, and changed daily which also included a scrumptious dessert. (Do NOT miss those banana fritters they are killer.) Dinner was often fish with local vegetables and always included a starter and dessert as well. We loved that the food always felt (mostly) healthy and was different every day. It was also incredibly reasonably priced. They offer daily excursions that are very reasonably priced as well, we did several snorkeling trips and the sights were absolutely to die for. Do not miss this amazing resort!
