Waimaro Scuba Diving Holidays

Stunning location and rooms Excellent staff Beautifully kept grounds A real treasure

We stayed at Plantation Island Resort over New Year for four nights as a family of two adults and three children (aged 12, 9, and 7). Our welcome was lovely. We booked a poolside room, and upon check-in, the air conditioning worked well and our luggage was promptly delivered. The room was clean and cosy, though the beds were extremely firm and uncomfortable. We also had an issue with ants in the room, which staff quickly addressed by spraying the room, though this was less than ideal during our stay. The exterior verandah and poolside area were quite run down, with cracked tiles, weeds growing, and deteriorating pool coping. This did not reflect the images online. After exploring the resort, we found better accommodation options and would recommend the Beachside Bure for a more comfortable stay. Our children loved the inflatables, though they were positioned too far offshore for younger children. While they played, my wife and I tried to relax on the available loungers, but we found empty cocktail glasses and cigarette butts left in the side table, which was disappointing. Dining at the Black Coral Grill was enjoyable, especially the sizzling steak. The Copra buffet was repetitive despite themed nights. Tavola Restaurant provided good breakfast and lunch, though service was slow. Snorkeling at the underwater museum was the highlight of our stay.Overall, we enjoyed our time but would recommend booking a Beachside Bure. An all-inclusive package would also enhance the experience

Being an adults only resort was a big benefit. The beach area was so pretty, great for swmming and snorkeling. Staff were great and friendly. Rooms were clean. It is far from Nadi so you need to arrange transport, i.e. car hire. Some of the cons: tour transport pick up/drop off may not be possible depending on where the tour leaving from (i.e. Nadi), food service at the resort needs improvement (i.e. overcooked meals, waiting times). Overall it was a nice place to relax and chill.

Friendly staff who were very helpful 🤗

An absolute gem of a resort. The food was organic, beautifully arranged, and served in generous portions—every meal felt thoughtful and delicious. The staff made us feel like family, going above and beyond in every way. Our villa was beautifully positioned right on the beach with plenty of privacy, making it the perfect spot to unwind. It’s the ideal place to detach from the noise of daily life and just relax in the middle of a little patch of paradise. Can’t wait to return!

Staff were wonderful. Friendly and authentic

If you crave privacy, this is the place! Incredible villas set on a beautiful beach. The food is the best we have ever experienced in fiji. The staff are beautiful, friendly and discreet. Rooms are impeccable, and pools Incredible!

Thanks for your great hospitality! :-)

The good: - Friendly and welcoming staff. - Great views around the property and accessibility to the ocean. - Kids club and many activities for them. - Swimming pool and bar. - Well equipped gym. The bad: - The room needed a makeover. It was antiquated and there wasn't enough lighting, needed new fixtures. - The wifi coverage was extremely poor and was barely available in certain areas around the resort. - Drinking water bottles weren't provided and had to be purchased or filled from the bar. - The staff were overworked and the fatigue was visible in their service. - The buffet food options were repetitive, bland and underwhelming at times. - There weren't many options for indoor/ outdoor games for adults. - At one point it seemed that the resort wasn't prepared or well equipped to accommodate or facilitate a high footfall of guests. - The coral and sunset cruises were disappointing.

Best thing about the island is the staff. They are all cheerful and helpful.

Very accommodating and good value, with a great little restaurant by the pool.
