"The spa experience there was amazing! I did while body massage and manicure done and they were both satisfying. The staff was also friendly and nice"

"The dorm was great. Air conditioned and someone to make your bed every day! The member of staff there (Melaia) was great. The shared showers and bathroom were exceptionally clean. All the staff were wonderfully friendly and cheerful. Ok the meal plan was expensive £60 pd but the dorm was only £16 pn. The food was restaurant quality and plentiful. And it was interesting having the 10 course Japanese dinner in their Japanese restaurant. There were kayaks, paddle boards and a blow up slide in the sea free to use. And there was also some free activities like film night and the Fijian Tea and the inevitable kava. The staff choir were excellent. Especially coming around to the various accommodations singing Christmas carols on Christmas morning. The beach was clean and the sea some lovely shades of blue."

"Absolutely amazing homestay! The hospitality was fabulous, with generous and delicious portions and the family was so welcoming. The views and ocean were absolutely stunning and the hike was incredible with some truly beautiful scenery. The kids were lovely to spend time with, so well-mannered and a joy to get to know. The accommodation is simple and basic, but very comfortable and excellent value for money. Overall, such a special and memorable experience. Highly recommend!"

"Amazing amenities and rooms in a lovely location, great spa/massages. One of the best restaurants on the Yasawa islands. The only thing I would criticize is the lack of a clean water tank to refill reusable bottles. I don't want to buy plastic bottles on a small island and add to the pollution of the world."

"Absolutely wonderful. Top notch service and staff. You could feel the peide of the Fijian people here. An absolute gem. The staff knows you names upon arrival, you're greeted by a beautiful song and lunch. We stayed over Christmas and it was so lovely to have the village come in and sing and dance for us and even father Christmas came for the children of the village. We delt like true family while we stayed for our 8 days. We will be back next year!"

"Amazing staff that put on great activities, easy access to the beach from our room, great snorkelling - brilliant place!!"

"Oarsman’s Bay Lodge is a magical place. From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect and better than we could have ever hoped for. The staff are so warm and friendly and there was an amazing range of paid and free activities each day. We were there over Christmas day and the lunch they put on was incredible - they even managed to get turkey! The beach is paradise on earth with the clearest water and most amazing snorkelling. We had such an amazing time here, it really is a very special place with the most hospitable staff and the sweetest resort dogs."

"antastic place to spend your time. Mantaray Island about 3.5 hours from the main island in Fiji in the Yasawa Island group, is a beautiful little hamlet of paradise. I spent 5 nights in a Reef Bure (With AC) an was extremely impressed with the cleanliness and general upkeep. The outdoor bathroom is an absolute highlight with its 3 different light/mood settings at night. The Bure itself was also only 12 step from the beach with its beautiful torquay blue water. Great snorkeling is on offer straight off the beach (High tide only) and a lovely hotel pool for low tide. The Restaurant served amazing meals on a set menu that changed every 2 day’s (B,L,D) and during the day you can swap your lunch meal for a pizza by the pool if you like, the resort also offers diving (Which I didn’t do this time) and a Spa that offers a limited but good range of massages. The Hotel is a cashless hotel, so you don’t need to have a wallet full of cash like I had. Overall this is a very good 4 star operation in the Yasawa group, and I am definitely looking to come back in July-September next year when the Mantaray swim past the Island. "

"Really friendly staff, made you feel like family there."
