After reading mixed reviews didn't have too high expectations however we had an excellent time! 4 pools to choose from & 3 restaurants. The little coffee bar by the tavola restaurant was awesome, yum coffee & smoothies. Various tours you can book at the activities centre. The 15min walk to musket cove was well worth it as well. The mini Mart is way over price $20 for 2x packets of chips however easily avoidable we had skipped lunch on the first day & kids couldn't hold out until dinner. Kids club was awesome with heaps of activities. Never felt overly crowded either. Will be back!

If you are looking for “5 star Denarau”, then go there (and good luck to you - this is so much better!).

Our family of 5 adults (kids aged 19,19&15) spent 6 nights here at the end of August and we all loved it. We were in room 242 and had a great beach and decent snorkeling metres from our door (we were one back from waterfront).

The food was some of the best I’ve ever had in Fiji and we all know you don’t go to Fiji for the food. (I’ve been to 10 different resorts over the years inc Hilton and Radisson in Denarau). We had the breakfast and dinner plan and it was really good and worked out very economical. We should have got the complete food plan for 3 meals a day, although lunch was not expensive. We could choose any of the 3 restaurants to have our dinners at and the choice of two for breakfast and lunch.

Our 2 bedroom Bure was 15 metres from the water and was comfortable and clean. The fridge is bigger than in most and I brought ice trays over with me and we had our duty free sun downers each night without running out of ice. They were very roomy with comfy beds.

The water isn’t drinking quality, but they give each person a large bottle of water on arrival and there are several clean water filling stations around the resort to refill the bottle.

We did the open ocean snorkeling trip which was great. We didn’t have enough in our group to do the island hop trip that would have taken us to Mana island (and others) and no one else out their names down to join - so we hired a local and went to Mana island for a few hours (as we had been there 12 years ago and wanted to go back).

It goes without saying but the staff are so friendly and helpful. They really make you feel like their piece of paradise is yours while you are there!!

I don’t normally write reviews but read (quite a few) negative ones here before I left and felt they were a completely unfair representation of the resort. They are more likely an unhappy reflection of person who wrote it!

Seriously if you want to go on a reasonably price island holiday in paradise you can’t look past Plantation Island Resort.

My partner and I traveled to Fiji on the 18th of August 2022.

Plantation Island resort is a magical place! With beautiful beaches, great staff, and tones of water activities.

We spent 7 days in this little paradise! And we couldn’t be more grateful. We don’t have kids but we could tell it is a great place to bring the little ones. But also good for couples that enjoy doing activities outside the room.

The beach in the resort couldn’t be any better. The snorkeling in the area is amazing and the scuba diving is out of this world. The water around the resort is extremely calm and the colour of the water is like a postcard picture.

Let’s be honest, there are multiple resorts in the area, more focused on couples and older people. But if you don’t mind the kids running around and you spend most of the time doing activities, we are sure this will not be an issue.

The rooms are a 3 star resort room, nothing fancy. But a good bed, good shower, good toilet and a good working aircon. If you want the Instagram room you may want to book somewhere else. But for us we spent most of our 7 days out of the room, it was perfect and great value for $$. And the beach is 100% amazing. We can guarantee you will want to spend most of your time there.

When you come here please do at least a dive! And the deep water snorkel trip. The island hoping tour .. was a bit boring, they just take you to other resorts.. not very interesting.

Good selection of restaurants and variety! However please note that the prices in the island for snacks are a bit high. Please consider this is an island in the middle of nowhere, so it is fair the snack store has higher prices. So if you want to save some money we highly recommend to buy snacks at the port or prior.

We loved it there, we hope we can comeback one day ❤️🐬🇫🇯

We saw a lot of bad reviews before we came here and we don’t think it is fair! We are 100% happy we came to plantation island resort❤️
