“Great location to dice rainbow reef”
+Very nice gardens, bungalows and overall resort. Close to rainbow reef for diving. Friendly and helpful staff and great food. Really a little garden paradise.
−Showers and rinse tanks at the dock would be nice. Internet is only in vommon areas which makes people be on their phones often in common areas instead of interacting. I think if internet was also i. bungalows it would become a bit more social as everyone can catch-up in their own time.

“Beat our expectations - would definitely come back”
+While the words "dive resort" should have given us a heads up, we didn't actually book here originally to dive, since it had been decades since we had done so. We had heard that the island was a gem to visit with waterfall hikes, special rare flower and we expected the snorkelling to be good. Everything was much better than expected and we got to dive as well which as a real treat. Location is so close to the reefs and the colours, and fish variety - spectacular. Oh and one more thing, I didn't realise that meals were included so that was another big bonus.
−Because they do not use air conditioning, the cabins naturally heat up during the day. But for some reason, at dusk, the staff closes all of the blinds, thinking people want privacy, when this act ends up trapping the heat in. The cabins are so well spaced apart and with vegetation and tress surrounding them that the privacy thing was never an issue anyway.

“An amazingly beautiful resort!”
+The staff was outstanding. The restaurant always changed the menu and everything has been really good and tasty. The villa and the garden were very well maintained. The boat personnel has been very friendly, very safe, and very skilled.
−Nothing.

“Damp rooms and defensive management”
+The Fijian staff were very friendly.
−Unfortunately, we cannot recommend the Taveuni Dive Resort for the following reasons: - The rooms (seats, bedding, bathrobes etc. were damp and even when changing the paints they became damp again after half an hour. - The management showed no understanding and gave no price reduction, even if you had to change the damp room after one night for health reasons (prescribed by the hospital). The only assistance was a transfer to the airport or to another resort. - Booked room with sea view, reality see photo. - My wife, who had fallen ill during the trip, was called a dumbass by the manager on departure. - The price-performance ratio is in no way in line with the infrastructure and management compared to other resorts on Taveuni.

“All boxes of a good and high quality holiday were ticked off.”
+Remote location of the resort, beautiful views, friendly staff, delicious food and scuba diving / snorkeling trips make the resort the perfect place for a recharging trip.
+The Bures are private and large, beds very comfortable. The setting and grounds are beautiful, their Staff works EXTREMEMLY HARD EVERYDAY. Everyone smiled all the time and service was perfect everyday ! Food is Chef Quality Liza, the Chef was excellent with her selections everyday. The Bar was perfect and service as well. The diving is the best I have seen in the world for soft coral, the White wall was extremely impressive. All the dives sites are healthy, Lui our divemaster was excellent. Hal who runs the Dive Operation was on point everyday. Can't say enough about the whole staff. My only suggestion is for the Owners to pay their Staff more, they proved to us they definately deserve it !! I've been diving the whole World for 32 years as a Dive Master, Tavenui Dive Resort ranks up there as one of the very best !!

“We came, we snorkelled, explored the island, ate way too much and we were sad to leave”
+As snorkelers, we weren't sure if we'd fit in at a dive resort, however, our concerns were completely unfounded. Heading out on the dive boat in the mornings and exploring the reef with a guide (while the divers explored other deeper parts of the reef) was exactly the experience we were hoping for. From the moment we checked in, we knew we were somewhere different to any other resort we'd stayed at. First and foremost, the staff are what make Taveuni Dive Resort so special. HIGHLY recommend the meal plan as the food is incredibly tasty and beautifully presented (besides, there's no kitchen in the bures, so cooking your own food is nigh impossible... and why would you want to!?). Speaking of bures, although no air conditioning, the dual fans were sufficient to keep us cool on the hot nights. Windows are all protected with mesh, so no issues with bugs. The shower was great (best in the afternoon when water is hottest). The king (maybe super king) bed was really comfortable. It was quite a novelty for us to have a turndown service! Starlink WiFi Internet is fast, but limited to the restaurant area. Cellphone reception is present, but patchy and slow data rates. For location, the resor
−Lighting in the bures takes a bit to figure out. There's a lot of switches and it's quite dim. But if that's all I have to complain about, it really shows how good this resort is!
