"We were picked up and brought directly to our homestay. Their son took us to snorkeling with the sharks, very happy and professional. We always felt safe and part of the family. A family member had passed away amd they included all 7 of the homeestays in all of the true Fijian traditions. We felt like honored guests. We would definitely recommend staying here."

10/10 Excellent
"Had a wonderful time in Korovou eco resort. The staff, especially Aboo (sp?) were wonderful. Really enjoyed the medical talk and coconut demonstrations Aboo provided. The seaview bungalow was rustic, but had everything you needed, except cold showers. It didnt bother us as after a cool snorkel we just rinsed off, but others that didnt snorkel were dreading their daily cold showers. The view from our room was stunning, and for the price I think its the best place I've ever stayed! The food was really great for the first 2 days, except on the last night they served us fish even though we were vegan. The next day the food wasnt as good (maybe the chef changed). That was probably the only negative experience during our 3 day stay, The snorkelling off the beach was great - lotsa colourful coral and fish. Walked over the ridge to the other homestay and the snorkelling there had huge impressive coral (so highly recommended). We brought our own snorkelling gear as I think they charged 10 per day. Loved playing beach volleyball with all the Fijian locals (who are all really good). Highly recommend staying here, as so relaxing, great value for money, nice staff, and you will meet nice like-minded other guests. Just a reminder this is not a 5 star resort with all the luxuries resort with 5 star prices. So dont book this place if you are super fussy, but if you want a local experience, right on the beach with peace and quiet and good food then this is your place!"

"We had THE BEST time at Waya. The hotel is very well-run- the room was spacious and comfortable for our stay. Amenities are plenty and they have a selection of activities to do per day, some of which you a pay-as-you-go, including a lot of snorkelling, which was perfect for us. All gear included was very helpful. The food was delicious- for an island resort, the menus were inventive and very tasty. The main highlight is the staff. The staff are the friendliest, sweetest people you will ever meet. They are all so welcoming and funny, and make you feel a part of their Vuvale. I’ll hold the memories close to my heart always! Honestly had the best time, can’t recommend them enough."
