returned after 7 years, won't come back again

I've returned to Crusoes Retreat after 7 years, hoping it will be the same resort I remembered. But aparently lot has changes. Resort is quite run down. They are working on some renovations, but still lot of work ahead. We were 4 adults, they have organised an airport pickup for us, but sent a small car. It was quite uncomfortable, especially when the resort is rougly 2.5 hours drive from the Nadi airport. But what really spoiled the vacation for us were some of the resort staff. Especially the old lady serving food and taking orders. Cant recall if I ever met somebody so rude and useless. She was unpleasant and never made any order right. Quite a shame as most of the resort staff was actually quite nice. The hotel is also quite isolated and without a car, there is not a lot of options to get out. Hotel restaurant is ok, but quite pricey for what they offer. They say you come as a guest and leave as a friend, but that was definitely not our case. After this experience, I am sure I will never return again.

Really beautiful place, however, food was terribly overpriced and not so special. They say breakfast is included but in that they just include a few not-so-good-looking fruits, bread and jam. No proteins at all. Sorry but that can't be called breakfast. I needed to pay 20$ for a few eggs and some bacon. Now, the room. Not so clean, found mold in the shower and on the pillow. Ok the shower, but the pillow? I might get sick. Tiny room and if youre with kids, there's no privacy whatsoever. Nice beach, but they pollute it a lot. I saw them throwing some trash in it, really bad. Sometimes they hired a guy to cut the coconuts from the palms and I hate to say they just smashed the coconuts on the floor. Did they think about selling them for a few dollars instead of throwing them? And they're good because I asked the guy if he could give me one and it was so sweet and refreshing. So sad. The hotel is in the middle of nowhere so you're almost forced to eat there, unless you paid super expensive taxis or rented a car. Closest town is 30 minutes away with car. Even went to the capital but nothing to see at all. Really sad to see a beautiful place used badly. The only good food I ate was at the village. Fresh fish caught that evening, so good. Won't come back.

The cocktail bar right on the waterfront with stunning sunset views was unforgettable. The staff are very friendly and the food was excellent. The facilities don’t disappoint either. A hot spa after a long snorkel on the coral reef next to the resort was most enjoyable! I will certainly be coming to stay again when I return to Fiji next year!

The accomodation was superb. The staff were genial and cooperative. If there was a downside it was being parked in (the only car in this predicament) as we had th leave by 5.30 am… The security nightshift manager snapped to attention and solved the issue… Awesome stay..💝

Overall a great experience. It looks like some upgrades are occurring, which is encouraging. This stay is a little gem that really shines in the hospitality department. Staff are congenial, the offshore snorkeling is great, and it was a perfect place to land after a long-haul flight to Fiji. I’m looking forward to returning!

Lovely and unspoiled. It was very quiet but it was great to disconnect from technology and just snorkle, relax and hang with my kids. The property does not have all the flash mod cons but it was amazing to be there. The food options were limited but the meals were good. We had fun playing on the broken pool table and all the staff were wonderful.

Crusoe's Retreat is a 2-hour drive from Nadi Airport with shuttle options available. The resort had a fantastic common space, free wifi, free breakfast, pool, hot tub, pool towels, kayaks, and snorkeling, in addition to daily activities that provide an immersive experience into Fijian culture. The resort is one of the oldest so could use some updates to some of the infrastrucure such as loose deck boards around the pool, and not all rooms have air conditioning, but it's the staff and the experiences that really make the stay worthwhile. The friendly staff were kind and caring and treat guests like family. The food was worthy of a 5 star restaurant.

This place punches well above its weight for 3 star accommodation. The rooms and facilities are basic but clean and tidy. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Gorgeous location and views. The only let down was the menu. We ate there the first night and the marlin was caked in burnt overly salty spice mix and basically inedible even after scraping it all off. We ate at other places from that point but decided to give it another go on our last night. My partner’s battered fish was covered in chili oil which wasn’t mention on the menu board, and my chicken burger was an over seasoned chicken mince patty that looked like it was cooked from frozen. Really disappointing. I would stay here again but avoid the restaurant. This would have been a 4 star review if it wasn’t for the food.

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

Great staff, friendly and helpful. Our booking was mucked up the first night and they gave our bure away which wasnt nice after travelling all day then needibg to get back in a car and move to a next door resort. They did fix it by giving a free massage and meal however we had to fight for this when we came to the bill. They also tried to charge us for someone elses food and drink. Otherwise lovely place with lovely staff
