This village home-stay was a joy and a privilege to experience, with true Fijian heart felt hospitality. The people are absolutely lovely here. You got to have a meal in a different home every day and meet the families. They will treat you with utmost respect so prefer to sit with you while you eat and then they eat later. It is their way of caring and respecting you so please dont feel it as rejection. The food was fantastically fresh and traditional with fresh fish, crab and locally sourced and grown fruit and veges. Life is simple and uncomplicated. Church is a big part of life here and at 6am and 6pm the huge log drum was used to summon parishioners.The singing was absolutely beautiful. The community hall got lot of use with meetings, cava ceremonies and gatherings. It was wonderful to see the local children arrive home from school in a small boat on Friday. Once they are over 9yrs they board at another location on the island to attend school together and come home every weekend to eagerly awaiting parents. The junior school in the village is very cute and the children love interaction. Given the true traditional nature of this unspoiled village you must keep to the traditions and not wear hats in the village and ladies must wear a sarong so no shorts, leggings or trousers. Drinking water is free and there are mosquito nets although I didnt experience any mosquitoes. No shop here but you can charge your phone. If you can bring any medical supplies such iodine, bandages, bandaids and dressings please do as the local health centre is a boat trip away and supplies can be limited for them. They will soo very much appreciate your kindness. Please do not bring plastics as they cannot be recycled. Any supplies for the school will also be gratefully received. Get cava for the chief if you can as this a a traditional gift. The best is the very long thick rooted type from Nandi market but it is pricey. Otherwise just bring a big smile :0)

The location is absolutely spectacular. The lodge is right on the beachfront on a beautiful bay with a sizeable coral reef in short distance from the shore. There are lots of activities and trips to choose from each day (some paid and some free) and all of the staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, we were made to feel right at home. The food was excellent, all freshly made and prepared with local ingredients. We would love to come back when we can. Vinaka vakalevu! 😊🙏🙌

Small island resort in a paradisiacal setting with excellent snorkelling opportunities. The reefs around the island are full of coral, colourful fish, sharks, manta rays (not guaranteed) and turtles. They'll lend you all the snorkelling (or scuba) equipment for a fee. There are several room options to suit your budget and there is a good choice of tasty food.

The bure and facilities were amazing. The staff put lots of effort into making me feel comfortable and to make the resort a memorable stay. All the staff were extremely friendly and I could tell they enjoyed their work and spending time with each other.

The Fijian staff were amazing! So welcoming and friendly. The incredible surroundings were unforgettable. The activities which included private beach picnics went beyond expectations. Truly a vacation that would be hard to find elsewhere. A must do!

The staff were absolutely amazing from first arriving, loved all the activities and they were so friendly and accommodating! Our accommodation was great and the whole area is very well kept and maintained by all of the staff.

All the people who work at octopus are wonderful. I loved the relaxed atmosphere. The luxury of a resort holiday without the stuck up ambiance. Loads to do if you want to, but you can also just chill.

We loved the whole experience, from a setting of pure paradise to staff that made our stay very personal and so welcoming. The Bures overlooking the sea with an outside shower were lovely.

Fantastic location, fabolous staff. Enjoyed a 5 star Japanese restaurant on site. Snorkeling just in front of the hotel. Lots of water activities facilitated by the staff. A true gem.
