Amazing place: beautiful & tranquil location overlooking the Pacific, well built bungalows, friendly staff - a perfect place to relax and recharge

We did a long tour of all islands in the Yasawas, and Paradise Cove is on a short list of the very best. Of course, as it is a higher end resort, expectations were also high, but the place met them easily. The property is located on a beautiful island where the beach and water entry / water level is just perfect, regardless of high tide / low tide. One thing they don't say and they should advertise is the amazing coral reef they have just steps in the water. This was easily comparable with things we saw on boat trips. So definetlly a very big plus. Then the restaurants, they have two, and we loved them both . Magic breakfasts at the main restaurant in the gentle sun light or romantic dinners at Donu . Unforgetable memories . The team has some of the best people we met in Fiji and we felt very welcomed. Special greetings to Nebz , hope you get the message, the first steps with Scuba were very helpful, thank you.

The tented beachfront Queen Bure 18 was a magical beautiful comfortable place to stay with the sound of the ocean and the wind in the palm trees. Our trip was Oct 16-20 2024 and we had ideal weather and perfect conditions for snorkeling except for one afternoon when it rained heavily for 3 hours and it was damp in the Bure that day. I would probably avoid the rainy season November to March. The snorkeling was spectacular right from the beach except for the boat channel sections. There is often a free guided snorkel which is highly recommended. The most beautiful section is between manta beach and sunrise beach, far out from shore just before the drop off into deeper water. The sea was calm and visibility was excellent. If it’s not too windy you can snorkel from sunset beach at high tide, go out to the drop off, then snorkel to the right, snorkel past manta beach, then to sunrise beach where you can exit via the boat channel, this takes about 45 minutes. Huge variety of coral and fish, amazingly beautiful. You can also scuba dive. We heard and read that Barefoot Manta Resort has the best snorkeling in all of Fiji and it seems true. Look at the underwater photos at barefootmantaresort.com; it really does look like that, incredibly healthy beautiful reef. Four marine biologists work at this resort and build the reef by planting more coral. Many sections are sheltered from the wind due to the bays and the channel between the islands, allowing the coral to thrive. We were fortunate to snorkel with the Manta Rays on one of our 5 mornings here. The rest of the time and the previous 2 weeks they were not there. The best time to reliably see the mantas is apparently June-July. The staff are super friendly and fun and they all seem to sing in addition to their regular jobs. The food and entertainment were great. The hike up to the viewpoints was great. The free wifi in the lobby and dining area worked well most of the time.

Our arrival at Mantaray Island Resort was met with a warm welcome and exceptional care. The staff at Mantaray Island Resort, with their kindness and enthusiasm, added an extra layer of charm to our unforgettable experience!! Their friendliness, whether it was arranging activities or simply spending time with us, allowed us to create a genuine bond with them. It exceeded my expections: from spa treatments to cocktails, diverse activities to dining, everything about this resort was truly incredible. I wholeheartedly recommend the Mantaray Island Resort and thank you again to the lovely staff.

A beautiful, quiet cove with a fantastic beach. Beautiful coral and sea life to see when snorkelling. The staff are extremely welcoming, attentive and friendly. The variety of food cooked for us was delicious and plentiful. Staying at Ravita Cove is experiencing the real Fiji, no frills.

Perfect food, perfect staff, perfect location, perfect facilities! Big vinaka!

We had a great stay with Silo, Bill and their family. The food was amazing and you definitely won’t starve :D There are a lot of of things to do around the village, we did the Mantaray snorkeling unfortunately we didn’t see any but Bill took us snorkeling to some really beautiful spots instead. Also the beach in front of the village is great for snorkeling and you have it all to yourself. They also took us to a birthday in the village which was really nice and we got to experience the Fijian lifestyle. We felt really welcomed in the village everyone was really nice and smiling at us <3
