" I am giving Mango Bay 5 stars because, after a week there, we felt at home and upon leaving it, miss it dearly. If we ever go back to Fiji, we would definitely stay again. It is quiet and removed, far from the road and close to the beach. 2 hours from Nadi and 2 hours from Suva, equidistant from Sigatoka and Pacific Harbor.
My wife and I are young and adventurous so we were looking for a place that would be friendly, personal and a more natural taste of Fiji.
What such a small place might lack in food and service (both were quite satisfactory) it makes up for in its peace and friendliness. It is also small enough that we were able to make friends with all the other guests and would go snorkeling or on inland Island tours with them.
I think the only negative experience we had (though I should hardly complain) was being there during Christmas. Christmas fell on a Monday which of course falls after Sunday. For both of those days, all the activities that one might do at the resort shut down because most of the staff took off. On one hand this is understandable because its Christmas but on the other hand, we were quiet disappointed that our plans of getting a group together and taking the boat for a trip in Beqa fell through. Christmas dinner was delicious but I for one, being quite active, sorely missed the opportunity.
But all the other days were fun and after Christmas, the place began planning activities again.
So a tip: Get good confirmation from the front desk when trying to plan actives ahead of time or have a back up plan. We trusted the desk when they said to just show up and they'd make plans but this lead to only limited success.
One final tip: The website says that their are kayaks, snorkel masks, fins etc. This is true but we brought our own snorkels and we glad we did as the ones for common use were a bit old.
Overall, we loved our time there and did not want to leave. "

" This hotel is one of a kind. There is a great mixture between natura and hotel facilities. The rooms are gathered through different Fijian Names and are spread across a regional forest. In front of Mango Bay there is a really nice, crystal clear beach where people can swim and there is the option if you head in the left part to see a long beach side full of shells, crabs in a volcano style beach. Mango Bay offers traditional Fijian food for lunch and dinner and they are organising local activities for the tourists, such as waterfall walks, horse riding, scuba diving, fishing by renting a boat and many more opportunities in a daily basis. This hotel is a hidden paradise, full of natural life and kind staff to serve you! I can recommend it enough! "

" Quiet, romantic place. Beach view room has outdoor showers. Hot water system is not perfect and food is expensive. "
