    Remember that it’s an island and not a 5 star resort so don’t expect fine dining and everything pristine. Come with a relaxed attitude and enjoy the good vibes. Check in is conducted as a group when you arrive so I recommend visiting reception and getting a thorough 1:1 intro to the island as number of people we met didn’t know about things on offer (e.g. free equipment use, underwater city/snorkelling spot off the beach etc). We all had such a relaxing and enjoyable time that we’re going to come back next year!

    This place is so special!! We are a family of 4 (2 adults & 5 year old twins) and stayed in the beachfront hotel room, which suited us perfectly. We were on the ground floor with a gorgeous view of the water and a hammock just outside our door. The children loved playing on the grass and beach while we relaxed in the hammock in the afternoon. It is truly the perfect place for kids - multiple playgrounds, nature, snorkelling right off the beach, inflatables, a choice of 4 pools and the nicest staff ever! The kids club was ace! My kids kept begging to go!! We also stayed at a 5 star resort in Denarau and we much preferred our stay at plantation!!

    Incredible place, but very expensive

    Pricing was very expensive, approx $1100 nzd per night for a very basic hotel room and had to pay almost $700 for transfers for 4 of us ontop, beds were very hard and uncomfortable. Paying by credit card incurred a 3-5% fee ontop of everything Tavoli restaurant food (the grill) was below average, overpriced, overcooked coral fish, tuna and steak. Disappointing. No cutlery, plates or utensils in room if you want to self cater sone meals

    Perfect relaxing family getaway, facilities were fantastic, staff were just amazing and do friendly, lots to do if you wanted too, even though it was fully booked, it was never crowded or too many people. Black coral restaurant was divine food for adults (kids meals were tiny and expensive though & didn't fill them up). Grounds were immaculate.

    eating costs for a family is quite expensive . $80 for 6 ice creams is crazy . Restaurants also quite expensive

    it was much more expensive than previous years. I have been coming here for a long time and they have done great renovations.

    Restaurant choice and availability was terrible. We learned that return guests booked months ahead to get a choice of the 2 restaurants at the resort. Otherwise it’s budget every night which we don’t enjoy (not buffet fans) and it was $75pp, again cheaper and better food at restaurant. Lesson learned

    Breakfast at the restaurant Tavola was better and cheaper than the buffet at Copra, recommend doing this from day 1
