Outstanding in every way!

Reviewed 3 weeks ago
An exceptional holiday in an outstanding resort! We were an extended family group of 7 adults, 2 children and a baby. From the moment we stepped onto the island, we were warmly welcomed and every need was taken care of. We loved our bures, the beach, the swimming and snorkelling, the evening activities, the food and the amazing staff. We could not have asked for a better holiday and hope to return one day. This is a beautifully run resort with exceptional staff who make sure you have a relaxing and fun filled holiday. Bula Vinaka!

      My partner and I spent 7 days at Navini Island Resort in early June. We could not say enough positive things about this wonderful getaway. Right from the start, communication with them went smoothly and we were picked up from the airport as promised. The island is lovely, rooms are well appointed and the food was delicious!! We spent the mornings going on their daily snorkeling trip and the afternoons reading and snorkeling around the island. There were fish everywhere!! There was nightly entertainment by the local staff which was absolutely wonderful. The staff were always friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend this resort!!

      We can't say enough about the beautiful island resort of Navini! Everyone who works there are extremely hard-working and such a dedicated staff. They take into consideration every detail and there's nothing you would look at and say they could do that differently or better. But most important they are all the nicest, friendliest people and they made us feel so special. The island is beautiful and well-maintained, the food was amazing, so delicious, and I appreciated the variety of choices. We also loved the snorkeling...it was the best we've ever seen and we've been to many other beautiful destinations to compare to.

      My wife and I absolutely loved Navini so much! We would 100% stay there again and recommend to anyone going to Fiji.

      The island is an absolutely incredible place to stay, particularly if you enjoy snorkelling and peace and quiet!

      We felt the resort was incredibly good value given staying there covered the transfer cost out to the island and meals and boat trips everyday. Pricing of drinks once on the island are very reasonable also.

      Things to be aware of is that this is not a super luxurious resort, but low tech - no air con in rooms, no pool. It is a high-quality no frills resort without unnecessary luxuries.

      Vinaka vanakevu to the beautiful staff at Navini for having us on the precious slice of paradise!

      I recently had a wonderful experience at Navini Island Resort in Fiji. The traditional Bures were lovely, although lacking air conditioning, but staying on the east side with the natural wind flow or using personal fans and makeshift AC with ice buckets made for comfortable nights.

      The snorkeling was exceptional, with Thomas as an excellent guide. Those who only stayed close to the beach missed out on the stunning corals and sea life near the buoys. The staff was incredibly helpful, especially with snorkeling tips and guidance, whether by kayak, small boat, or swimming alongside. Planning activities on-site, such as snorkeling, fishing trips, or scuba diving charters, ensured there was always something exciting to do.

      While the food was decent, the breakfast stood out, and the staff was accommodating to special requests, even allowing guests to share their culinary expertise.

      The resort caters more to adults but is still enjoyable for children, who are warmly welcomed by the attentive staff. Lots of made up games for kids to play and be without TV or devices. Hermit crab races, guitar playing, signing at night with family.

      Despite the nighttime heat, my family and I had a fantastic time, and the kids particularly loved the interactions with the friendly staff.

      Thanks again Seru, Thomas, Dumo and the rest of staff for being kind and hospitable.

      Room tip: 1. Plan ahead with activities, diving, fishing, scuba. 2. Bring a WiFi hotspot works on the east side of island. (Buy SIM at airport)

      We were greeted like returning family on arrival, and the staff are always friendly. The food is plentiful and delicious with a great selection too.
      All facilities are top notch and well maintained, the daily room cleaning is quick and efficiently done.
      At Navini you can relax on the hammocks or day beds, take daily snorkelling trips to amazing coral reefs, or even swim round the island before breakfast.
      Night entertainment varies from ‘Island nights’ to folk tales of how Fijians arrived in the Islands, while sipping Navini’s great selection of cocktails.
      Meeting new friends is always a bonus of staying at Navini Island.
      Thank you to everyone who helped make our stay a memorable one.
      We will be back
