Very peaceful and tranquil, very old property that has been well maintained/upgraded through the years. Not many menu choices for 3 or more days. Extra cost for breakfast items not on buffet line (toast, cereal, fruit). 30 kilometers to ATM's other food/grocery. Only a hot water maker in cabin (Acceptable as there could be major bug issue with cooking/food in cabins). 3 kilometers off main road on occasional steep/blind 1-lane road. Challenging for firsttime island visitor. Staff absolutely great. A very delightful stay otherwise.

All five of us absolutely loved the location, very beautiful. All the staff are super friendly and helpful. The kitchen department on the other hand needs a major haul. For the 2 nights spent at this resort there was not a single meal that we enjoyed. Barely made it half way through a meal. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Somehow the second night dinner was worse than the first. The chef needs to go back to school or change profession. Speaking to the manager about the quality of food didn't help in any way, no idea how to deal with the situation. Definitely first and last trip to this beautiful location.

Be careful before book.
Firstly, pick up from the road was an hour late. Then room wasn't ready when we arrived there. No towels in the room and bed sheet was dirty. No upgrade has been since we last visited 20 years ago. Toilet doors don’t have a lock. Ant and insect problem in the room. The sheets are re-used which is very old or torn. Not enough towels. With no vacancy at the venue, there was only one kayak to share and they ran out of snorkeling gears. Food per meal is quite expensive and you don’t have much choice as the nearest town is about 30 mins away. Not worth the money we spent The only positive thing is the staff have been amazing. I don’t think I will ever go back again at this venue.

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.
