It is a beautiful resort and the bures are really clean and comfortable. The food is wonderful. For us the highlights were the wonderful staff who were so warm and welcoming and the amazing snorkelling and diving experiences. The dive team are just brilliant, caring and meticulous in their attention to safety while showing us the wonders of the rainbow reef.

Although told about a 3% surcharge on credit card transactions didn't realise this would apply to the whole cost, not just the extras. Think there should be a note on the booking.com website to say that a 3% surcharge will apply to the quoted price.

Lovely resort, staff so friendly and welcoming. Diving was good- good staff on the boats and very well looked after. Food was lovely, room very comfortable and quiet. Good shower and lovely bathroom products supplied. Massage also very good. A very nice peaceful and friendly place to stay. would happily return.

Payment for all the costs of the stay was literally done minutes prior to our scheduled departure to the airport. There was no time to analyze the charges. Often the food was not tasty. For me, the boats, which are fine for most people, were inadequate because I have back issues. The platforms are so tiny that forward roll-ins from them are cumbersome.

Terrific rooms, exceptionally clean, friendly helpful staff. Dive master ratio was excellent. - often only one or two divers to a dive master. Even the canines were friendly.

Anti-slip mat in a bathroom was mouldy and reused between tourists . Floors of the room didn’t seem to be cleaned regularly . We had to ask for heating for hot water quite often when solar panel wasn’t enough to supply power . The owner didn’t want to show us how to switch on the heater so we had to rely on asking him every time . Overall there were few minor things , but staff was making a lot of effort to make our stay as pleasant as possible.

Lovely diving resort where we have had the best food ever . The local is staff is very nice, friendly and helpful and they are a true asset of this resort . We loved the variety of food , fresh vegetables, fish and mainly artistic creations of cook in terms of flavours and decorations ,5 stars top experience . Room was cleaned daily . Bed was comfortable and we have had a very good sleep . There were optional activities such as husking of coconuts or kawa ceremony which were very interesting. We also had a massage which was great . Ambiance was nice and facilitated connection with other tourists at the resort . It was possible to organise paid trips to waterfall and pearl farm . Snorkelling in a house-reef was also very nice (black sand and sometimes it’s good to dive below 0.5m for a better visibility ) . Diving was beautiful with a large variety of colourful corals. We appreciated a complimentary transport from and to the airport . In summary we loved our holiday here.

That we had to leave so soon

As we went for the diving, the location was so close to where we headed off each day. The set up was beautiful and I liked that there are only 8 Bures so not over tan with people

We wanted a isolated place blocked away all of buzzy from noisy world, and enjoy a relaxed vacation. This is a ideal choice. We usually go snorkelling in the morning which you can see the most beautiful corals and myriad fish. In the afternoon, we hanged around pool, laid on the chair, read and listened music. The food are delicious. The staff and owner’ couple are nice and took good care of us.

Nothing.

The staff was outstanding. The restaurant always changed the menu and everything has been really good and tasty. The villa and the garden were very well maintained. The boat personnel has been very friendly, very safe, and very skilled.

Unfortunately, we cannot recommend the Taveuni Dive Resort for the following reasons: - The rooms (seats, bedding, bathrobes etc. were damp and even when changing the paints they became damp again after half an hour. - The management showed no understanding and gave no price reduction, even if you had to change the damp room after one night for health reasons (prescribed by the hospital). The only assistance was a transfer to the airport or to another resort. - Booked room with sea view, reality see photo. - My wife, who had fallen ill during the trip, was called a dumbass by the manager on departure. - The price-performance ratio is in no way in line with the infrastructure and management compared to other resorts on Taveuni.

The Fijian staff were very friendly.

Lighting in the bures takes a bit to figure out. There's a lot of switches and it's quite dim. But if that's all I have to complain about, it really shows how good this resort is!

As snorkelers, we weren't sure if we'd fit in at a dive resort, however, our concerns were completely unfounded. Heading out on the dive boat in the mornings and exploring the reef with a guide (while the divers explored other deeper parts of the reef) was exactly the experience we were hoping for. From the moment we checked in, we knew we were somewhere different to any other resort we'd stayed at. First and foremost, the staff are what make Taveuni Dive Resort so special. HIGHLY recommend the meal plan as the food is incredibly tasty and beautifully presented (besides, there's no kitchen in the bures, so cooking your own food is nigh impossible... and why would you want to!?). Speaking of bures, although no air conditioning, the dual fans were sufficient to keep us cool on the hot nights. Windows are all protected with mesh, so no issues with bugs. The shower was great (best in the afternoon when water is hottest). The king (maybe super king) bed was really comfortable. It was quite a novelty for us to have a turndown service! Starlink WiFi Internet is fast, but limited to the restaurant area. Cellphone reception is present, but patchy and slow data rates. For location, the resort is only a 15min boat ride from the reef. It's a 1.5hr drive to Lavena (one way) over some very rough dirt roads (the sealed sections are a blessing). The dive/snorkel outings are half day activities, so it's possible to do something else in the afternoon. The pool was great afterwards! Breakfast was selected the night before (at dinner) and had a good range to choose from. The breakfasts were excellent (as was all the food!). All meals are served at the restaurant. The staff catered for gluten free (banana bread was so good). Coffee, tea and filtered water was complimentary (dairy, soy and almond milk was available). Packed lunches can also be booked the night before to pick up at breakfast if heading out for the day.

Spent 6 nights here. Absolutely beautiful room and resort with incredible staff from housekeeping, F&B, driver, boat crew, diving and snorkelling guides, maintenance and entertainment. All go out of their way to ensure your holiday is wonderful. Food very good. I went out on snorkelling trip 4 times whilst my friend dove. Absolutely spectacular. We also did a couple of excursions outside of the resort.

Limited transport options. Resort should provide more information about the public bus

Beautiful resort accommodation and great place to stay in Taveuni. Food was fantastic. Great to snorkel the Rainbow reef. Enjoyed every minute!
