Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Our room was serviced daily.We had an awesome view of the ocean an surrounding areas.Abit let down on the spa pool not working and pool needing a good clean bit other than that staff were awesome and had an awesome sense of humor an we were informed about activities nightly
The staff are so helpful and friendly. We were treated like homecoming family. They really make you welcome. Everyday there are different activities if you want to join in. The sunset cruise is good! We will definitely return.
I’ve been here 15 years ago when it was under different ownership. So I returned to find it to be very boring & undeveloped. Price changes for food daily here, it goes up 50% depending on the crowd. The food is just okay if you’re really hungry you can eat it. I didn’t understand not getting a room key to lock your door, we were told they lost them all so we had to leave the door unlocked at all times. This place needs a facelift. The good news you would love the staff & the village next door. They will feed you if you’re hungry & personally I was starving
We really enjoyed the friendly staff, mostly locals from nearby village. The whole property was well kept and offer a variety of activities. The negatives were that in some booking places, it is listed as an adults-only property, when it actually accepts children. It wasn’t a deal breaker, but unexpected. Also, make sure you go over and keep tabs on what you order, so there will be no surprises at checkout.
The beach is amzing with nice laid back landscape.
Enjoyed the hotpool and kayaking
Staff very friendly and owner Mr Praneel is very approachable. Made the stay very comfortable. Also have free upgrade to sea view bure roo.
Highly recommend thisnplace
Crusoe's is a lovely option if you want quiet and secluded. The grounds are lovely, there's a pool and hot tub, perfect when it's rainy and the views from the bures on the hill is majestic.
This was one of the best experiences I have had with Hotels.com. Absolutely amazing from the moment I got to the property, to the minute I left. The beach was right at the foot of the property, the pool was awesome, the staff remembered my name, and Miki, the front desk hostess even lent me her phone charger. Dinner was great, rooms had amazing views. Absolutely worth the adventure.
The staff were amazing, always interacting with the guests. The food could be better. Beautiful location however can be difficult getting to places as a single traveler if you don’t have your own car.

We waited almost 2 hours bc check in time on this platform is 12:30 but in reality it is at 2. They gave us welcoming drink which was lovely. The staff were approachable but seemed too busy and out of touch sometimes. It was a lovely environment.
Crusoe's Retreat is a beautiful resort area on the Southern side of Viti Levu. It's remote for a relaxing getaway but still close enough to the cities for activities (about 2 hours from Nadi and 1.5 from Suva and about 40 mins from Pacific Harbor).
The staff are all so lovely and really make you feel welcome. We went in the "off" season (March) so there were not a lot of people at the resort, but the staff still had fun activities planned for the guests. They are also great about assisting with arranging for pickups from the resort for buses for excursions. The food was delicious and the area is just gorgeous. Each night we went down by the water to watch the sunset.
I loved this place! The staff were so welcoming, friendly, helpful, fun and accommodating. It was awesome to be next to the village and to also be off the main road and secluded.
The tour options were good, the on site activities were great, the food was yummy and the bures were very comfortable. It was sad to leave and I would go back in a heartbeat!
Staff are wonderful, Rooms Excellent, Activities Perfect thanks to the marvellous Inia. Food is delicious, Fahim is a fantastic chef. Mia, Samantha & Siteri in F&B very friendly and professional. Kelera the Front Office Manager is delightful.
