My friend and I stayed at Maravu for 12 nights. We were only booked there for the first 5 nights of our vacation but loved it so much we decided to stay for the entire trip. The modest accommodations (bures) were always very clean, the beds very comfortable, and the grounds (which include a nice pool) are well maintained and stunningly beautiful. The food is great, always fresh, and ample portions. The staff welcomed us like family and we grew to adore them. The atmosphere is so welcoming that we had the opportunity to meet many people from all around the world. The staff offer a Kava ceremony each night where one can spend time getting to know other travelers while listening to Rafa, Kali, and Russa playing guitar and singing sweet songs. If it is quiet time you need the bures are very private and spacious to hang out in. The staff also organizes and offers a guide (Rafa or Kali) for day trips to a coastal walk, a waterfall hike and a natural water slide. These were so much fun and we felt well taken care of every step of the way. There are two dive shops close by to choose from and the diving was amazing. I highly recommend staying at Maravu, we had a wonderful time and plan to return. Many thanks to (sorry if I have misspelled names) Laisani, Kara, Mari, Beky, Onnie, Rafa, Kali, Russa, and also the nighttime guard (we always felt very safe). Your welcoming nature and attentiveness made our stay at Maravu a wonderful experience and we can't wait to return.

We stayed at TIR for just over a week, early Jan24 and it was a magical experience. The local staff were so welcoming & friendly. The grounds are immaculate tropical gardens very well maintained on the cliff top with awesome views. We were particularly lucky to be looked after by the ‘June’s’ in the Matalau Bure where all our meals were provided. Both Chef June & our host June were just amazing. June’s cooking was outstanding using locally grown produce, cooked fresh daily. We miss her warm fresh morning muffins. We caught a Yellow Fin Tuna and she made several delicious dinners with it, including Sashimi. Each meal was 3 courses and we had to reduce lunch to 1 course as we were eating too much. No request was too difficult and her understanding of our dietary requirements was very much appreciated. Our hosts June & Raymond (for a few days) were wonderful. Always ensuring we had everything we needed and happy to enjoy a laugh with us. The rooms were always kept clean and they were serviced daily including turn down every night to turn the air con on to ensure a comfy sleep. Matalau also included a private beach which we used daily for snorkelling & swimming. Lots of coral and fish only a few metres off the shore. It was special to meet the owners Do & Ric (& all the puppies & birds). They take great pride in their piece of paradise and ensured we were being well looked after. We were very sad to leave and the staff all sang us a farewell song to wish us well.
