The resort was excellent and the hotel staff were very helpful and friendly. The only problem was that the entryway to the hotel was not very nice. It was a long narrow dirt road and was unpleasant for driving.

There is a 3km gravel road to the resort which is very unsafe. Most of it are one way. Drivers have to be extra careful. Price of food is very expensive and there are no shops or restaurants nearby

There is so much to like about Crusoe's. Beautiful setting, (far) way from main road. No traffic noise. A $6 school bus to Sigatoka if you want a day out. Another resort you can walk to (over the beach) if you want a more flavoursome cuisine, or a quieter nighttime vibe. Fantastic sea views from all bure. Snorkeling right outside the resort. Most of all, very relaxed,warmhearted, hospitable staff. If you are an introvert or you value silence, just be aware that at times the sounds of music and nighttime dining room activities penetrate all over the resort. But for more socially inclined people, and for families...brilliant.

Pros: - comfortable beds and pillows - beautiful gardens - quiet, peaceful and relaxing - the staff were fantastic and made our stay positive - huge shower and piping hot water - wonderful views over the sea - a smaller resort so it had a personal, friendly feel about it - the facial we had was great, and left our skin glowing Cons: - the food was expensive and mediocre, and limited choice and variety - the prices for dinner were almost double the lunch prices so we didn’t eat dinner because of that - because of how remote the resort is, you have no other options for food if you don’t have a car - the room we stayed in was comfortable, but a bit run down and could do with some maintenance - the prices for activities, taxi and massages were more expensive than the other resort we stayed at

Amazing stay. The place is beautiful and quiet. Such an amazing part of the world. It is secluded but it adds to the charm. I did not want a big resort and Crusoe’s retreat and spa was exactly what I wanted. The daily activities were excellent and changed every day. Some activities are payable (btw 25 to 80$) and many are free (guided bush walk, visiting the next town, volley ball tournament, coconut toffee making… etc) The food was good especially the Ika Vololo or Ika Kokoda (it was soooo delicious) and more. Breakfast was pretty basic continental with fresh local fruit- or you can ask for eggs and other hot breakfast on the menu. They have good price lunch starting at F$22 /A$15 and go to F$30/35 for specials Diner starts at F$19 and can go to F$48 (still very good price in Aus$) The menu and cocktails menu was very large and delicious. It was missing one thing Banana or Pinapple fritters 😩 The Bure was spacious and you have a fridge and coffee/tea in the room (no boiler tho) The room is cleaned every day and the staff is very nice. Soaps and toiletries available. No hair dryer - but was not a problem for me. The room I was in, needs a bit of love but was comfortable. And beautiful view. The spa was amazing. And very affordable The spa staff is soo lovely. Everything was good and I had a lovely time

This hotel is suitable as an average option for staying in Fiji if you don’t want to leave your accomodation. The hotel is far from everything, and you will need to drive 3 hours from the airport to get there. The road is not accessible by foot and there are no attractions, shopping or dining nearby. The free breakfast included is very limited (fruit and coffee and toast basically) and if you eat at the hotel you will be limited to their short meal hours from a very restricted overpriced menu with small portions. The facilities of the hotel are nice and the staff are for the most part friendly but they are at times quite slow to help you. Be aware you will be sharing your room with bugs due to the location, it’s not a huge deal but something to consider if you don’t like nature. The village nearby the hotel is beautiful and visiting it is the nicest part of what the hotel has to offer.

The view has certainly got the wow factor, we booked 5 nights in the deluxe beach bure which was a few seconds walk to the beach. However our room was not made up upon arrival at 9pm. The outdoor shower was lovely and we slept very well, super comfortable, huge bed! We liked the outdoor bed and hammock, room service every day. The food was very delicious, although a little more could have been offered on the menu. Breakfast was included, which was basic but did the job, we loved the bananas and papaya. They could do with buying a second toaster, as big groups stay here. Our only disappointment with the food was the $60 buffet offered on our third night, with no other options on the menu, this was unexpected and expensive! Free snorkel and kayak hire, The wifi was a little patchy but okay. The staff were super friendly, putting on activities each day. It is a remote resort, we had a car and left the resort once, the road is unsealed but accessible in a Toyota corola. Perfect secluded getaway, which is exactly what we wanted, we would go back!

The Staff and village need support from the owner.
The staff are amazing and so helpful. Millie, Mika, Henry and JJ all made our stay so much better. It’s in between owners so understand no money has been spent for a while. Need to upgrade the Snorkling gear and reef shoes. The biggest disappointment was the food. I get you have little choice as you are at the resort but I found the prices and lack of variety on the menu a real disappointment. We asked for a chicken fried rice that was not on the menu and the chef obliged and was great when it came out but to come back the following night and see it as a special of the day but price went up $10 overnight is a bit rich. It’s a fairway to find dining options here and if you don’t have a hire car you are stuck.

This is a lovely retreat space, a bit off the beaten track. It needs a little upkeep as it is quite old now. But the Fijian staff are wonderful and as it is right next to a fijian village you get to meet many of the villagers who work at the resort. One of the highlights is the coral reef out front. Take a boat out and go snorkelling out on the breakers. You will love it. The ground are well kept and beautiful.

This is a peaceful, quiet and beautiful location, perfect for a restful break. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I received a free upgrade to a beautiful beachfront room. The bed was possibly the most comfortable I have ever slept in. Meals are modest and a little pricey as you would expect for a captive audience. Transport is difficult and I will hire a car next time. I would recommend this resort.
