Independent in Yasawa Islands from AU$163

"We very much enjoyed our stay. The property is beautiful, the staff friendly and personable. The food was delicious! The tour to the caves was great. The snorkeling down the beach and paddle boards were a nice touch. The treetop Bure had a fantastic view and lovely balcony. I misread the listing that there was no AC but the fan and breeze was adequate for the evening. We recommend a stay at this lovely boutique resort. "

"Thank you to Bill, Paula, Sarah and Jim for looking after us so well! We had a great 4 night stay and the whole family was attentive and responsive to our needs. My mum found the steps up to the eating area to be a bit much, and they kindly carried the table down and every meal for the rest of the stay, so we we are able to eat next to the beach and avoid the climb. Jim took us across to snorkel in the boat, and across to the other village so that we were able to see some of the rest of the island. We were also welcomed to their church and community lunch. The set-up for the lower hut is basic but mosquito nets supplied and the beds were comfortable, and it opens almost right onto the beach so we could hear the waves. I would recommend bringing some backup water to save the family having to boil large quantities daily. Food was plentiful and a delicious opportunity to try cassava, breadfruit and taro leaves, as well as more familiar fruits and foods, including daily fresh baking for breakfast. I would definitely recommend the family's homestay for an authentic village experience!"

"Loved that it is run by family. Only 4 bures so very personal. The food was delicious and plenty of it. The snorkelling right out front with beautiful coral."

"Absolutely brilliant. The view from the reef bure down to the ocean is amazing and you are just a few steps away from being in the water from your bed. The staff are lovely and prompt to answer your requests. The activities are varied and all done to a very high standard - all in all a great stay."

"Amazing snorkeling and lovely scenery. The staff were so friendly and kind. The food was good quality. The experience was great."

"Paradise Cove property and crew are absolutely top notch. It was our first time in Fiji and we will surely return. We arrived by boat and returned by heli. Both fun experiences. If you are getting on the boat after a ling flight get a ticked to the Captain’s Lounge where you’ll find couch seating more easily to get some sleep. Reception had our room ready as soon as we arrived (11am) which is such a nice touch after a long flight from US. The Donu(?) (japanese themed) restaurant is top notch. Omakase is a 5-start experience, did not expect it to be so good. We visited with kids and they found plenty to do. Recommend the night snorkeling activity (for grownups). "

"Air conditioning could be a little better. Everything else was excellent!"

"Expedia did not give us the accurate amount owed to the resort for the meal plan. Expedia said approximately $50/day. It was $90/day. With 4 people for days that's a huge difference"

"When you book they will tell you that this is not a resort but it is really good. Did not understand why they wrote that to me. You have a huge house just for yourself with amazing garden or beach view. You have a fan mosquito net and some dimmers to make the light less strong in case you want to have it more chill and romantic. The family is very friendly. Clean and tidy. I had flowers in the house when arrived and they made sure we had a great stay. Activities are okay. There is a rock about 50m out of the beach and there is nice snorkelling with corrals."
