The tented beachfront Queen Bure 18 was a magical beautiful comfortable place to stay with the sound of the ocean and the wind in the palm trees. Our trip was Oct 16-20 2024 and we had ideal weather and perfect conditions for snorkeling except for one afternoon when it rained heavily for 3 hours and it was damp in the Bure that day. I would probably avoid the rainy season November to March. The snorkeling was spectacular right from the beach except for the boat channel sections. There is often a free guided snorkel which is highly recommended. The most beautiful section is between manta beach and sunrise beach, far out from shore just before the drop off into deeper water. The sea was calm and visibility was excellent. If it’s not too windy you can snorkel from sunset beach at high tide, go out to the drop off, then snorkel to the right, snorkel past manta beach, then to sunrise beach where you can exit via the boat channel, this takes about 45 minutes. Huge variety of coral and fish, amazingly beautiful. You can also scuba dive. We heard and read that Barefoot Manta Resort has the best snorkeling in all of Fiji and it seems true. Look at the underwater photos at barefootmantaresort.com; it really does look like that, incredibly healthy beautiful reef. Four marine biologists work at this resort and build the reef by planting more coral. Many sections are sheltered from the wind due to the bays and the channel between the islands, allowing the coral to thrive. We were fortunate to snorkel with the Manta Rays on one of our 5 mornings here. The rest of the time and the previous 2 weeks they were not there. The best time to reliably see the mantas is apparently June-July. The staff are super friendly and fun and they all seem to sing in addition to their regular jobs. The food and entertainment were great. The hike up to the viewpoints was great. The free wifi in the lobby and dining area worked well most of the time.

We did a long tour of all islands in the Yasawas, and Paradise Cove is on a short list of the very best. Of course, as it is a higher end resort, expectations were also high, but the place met them easily. The property is located on a beautiful island where the beach and water entry / water level is just perfect, regardless of high tide / low tide. One thing they don't say and they should advertise is the amazing coral reef they have just steps in the water. This was easily comparable with things we saw on boat trips. So definetlly a very big plus. Then the restaurants, they have two, and we loved them both . Magic breakfasts at the main restaurant in the gentle sun light or romantic dinners at Donu . Unforgetable memories . The team has some of the best people we met in Fiji and we felt very welcomed. Special greetings to Nebz , hope you get the message, the first steps with Scuba were very helpful, thank you.

Difficult to say. All. The location is a paradise. We had a wonderful beachfront palm villa with two bedrooms, fantastic open air bathroom with two showers, very spacious bedrooms, living space... We had our own patio and reserved sunbeds by the beach. The resort is very nice and the coral reef in the lagoon mind blowing. Meals arrangements in two restaurantd are super good. We loved, literally loved, the japanese spot. In the morning 10 choices to pick 2 tapas style and in the night for dinner 10 small plates, high cuisine. Extraordinary. The other restaurant front beach also very nice with music by night. Excursions organised by the resorts to snorkeling and to a cave we loved it. Great, great time, highly recommendable.

Our arrival at Mantaray Island Resort was met with a warm welcome and exceptional care. The staff at Mantaray Island Resort, with their kindness and enthusiasm, added an extra layer of charm to our unforgettable experience!! Their friendliness, whether it was arranging activities or simply spending time with us, allowed us to create a genuine bond with them. It exceeded my expections: from spa treatments to cocktails, diverse activities to dining, everything about this resort was truly incredible. I wholeheartedly recommend the Mantaray Island Resort and thank you again to the lovely staff.

Absolutely stunning resort and facilities. Staff were incredibly kind and generous with their smiles. Was not expecting free activities such as yoga and snorkeling, very nice! The resort is beautiful and the beach is nothing short of exceptional. WiFi actually worked almost everywhere on the resort, and was impressively fast.

Shark snorkelling was even better than the bull shark dive imo more interactive. Great corals out front of the property and hike to the summit and cave made for a two day great trip next time would book for 4 days and shark snorkel each day they were beautiful and a fun boat ride out to the reef to boot.

We loved our hosts Elia, Salome and daughter Naomi. We loved the food, our lovely clean and comfortable house. The village people were so welcoming and friendly!
