Coralview Island Resort

Coralview Island Resort

8/10 Good
"This property is lovely, and the staff members are lovely. With a few improvements, it could be amazing. There is a jetty you can walk on for a nice photo op, but the litter and garbage are an eyesore. Garbage is also visible on the shore at the little beach to the left of the reception area. I don't know why the activity team doesn't organize a beach clean-up. They could offer guests a free cocktail for their efforts. The bures are updated, spacious, and clean. The limited food plan was fine for us, but picky eaters may not like it. We only stayed for one night, and we enjoyed our stay and the kava ceremony. The property reminded me of a kids' summer camp. It was rustic and spacious, but there were no lounge chairs at the beach. I feel it would be excellent for a big group."

"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!"

"This resort is a must if you travel to Fiji. We visited 2 years ago and knew we wanted to return. The staff is our Fiji family. Each individual cottage is so well built and maintained. Manassas and his wife Wati are the original builders and both still stay active at the resort. I encourage travelers to not just stay on the main island, but discover the surrounding islands."
