fantastic diving location

This was our 3rd stay at VoliVoli and it just keeps getting better. We are avid divers (650+) who have traveled all over the world. We consider this our home away from home and in our top 3 favorite destinations. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, the staff could not be more kind and the food is great. The dive crew are attentive and friendly and the dive sites are absolutely fantastic.

The friendliest place ever

The resort is great and staff super friendly. The only thing I was missing is a gym. Note that this is one of a very few resorts on North side of the island and it’s very secluded. There are basically no other dining options than at the resort. I was glad I booked a full board option.

We stayed previously at this beautiful beachfront resort in 2022 and liked it so much we returned 2 years later. We would like to thank Steve and the Darling family, as well as Geraldine, Leni and many other staff members who made our stay so enjoyable. Once again we found the food and service in the restaurant to be excellent, as well as all the facilities and amenities around the resort. We do hope to return again in the future and highly recommend this resort to other travelers. We note that the resort is particularly well-suited to divers with its well-equipped diving operation, as well as others looking for a quiet place to relax in the sun. Vinaka!

The location is beautiful. The view from our Vale was beautiful. The vale itself was beautiful. There’s a special area for star gazing. But what is really great about VoliVoli is the staff. Their behavior goes beyond training; they’re just excellent people and I believe they offer a glimpse into what it means to be Fijian. From the dive shop to landscapers to reception to restaurant, I was impressed by each and every one. Thank you for sharing your beautiful island home with us!

Recently stayed 7 nights at Volivoli Beach Resort and enjoyed a lovely relaxing holiday. The staff are so warm, welcoming and helpful. The food was generally good, but could be excellent with some form of quality control in place. Occasionally grilled bacon was served cremated, hot dishes were often on cold plates & served lukewarm, and the breakfast bar choices were limited. Where is all the delicious Fijian tropical fruit like coconut, mangoes pawpaw, pineapple..why is it not being showcased? Also expresso coffee should be part of prepaid food package, as there are no cafes around. Our villa was well appointed, but bed was very firm & would have liked the option of a mattress topper for our comfort, although this is purely personal. Only plasticware glasses provided, so requested real glasses. Also asked for seating squab cushions to soften the hard wooden sun loungers provided, which is standard in most resorts. This resort is pitched toward the higher end of resort accommodation in Fiji and these few things, a little attention to detail, to ensure the guests comfort, would make such a difference.

Our family ( 3 Adults, one 16 year old boy) had a wonderful stay at Volivoli. Although this resort is well known as a dive resort, we are not divers, so don't let that put you off. The resort is stunning! Set up high to take in the beautiful views of the ocean and surrounding islands from each villa. Our villa was spacious and spotless, the cleanliness throughout the resort was impeccable, the best we have experienced in Fiji. We stayed in a 2 bedroom villa which was perfect for us. The gardens were well kept and sun lounges and amenities are all in excellent condition. The pool was lovely with plenty of lounges. It has a small beach, not island style white sand, blue water but we enjoyed relaxing in the hammocks, reading our books and listening to the great music in the background from Ra Bar. We chose the full board option and although it was too much food for us, the food was very good and fresh and one of the highlights. We enjoyed the connections with staff and it was nice to see management making an effort to build relationships with guests. There were fewer daily activities that we are used to at family type resorts that we often stay at. I thought that my teen would be bored but he really enjoyed his stay. He connected with staff and other guests and there was enough to keep him occupied. We definitely got a workout with the hills, probably not for you if you have mobility issues. It was so nice to experience the Suncoast. We will be back! Sota Tale Volivoli!

This is a wonderful oceanfront resort and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We stayed for 8 nights in one of the beautiful oceanfront villas with a private pool and spectacular view - thank you Geraldine for arranging this! While the resort specializes in catering to the divers market (and is very well equipped for this), it is also a lovely place for sun vacationers like us to chill-out. The meals were excellent with gourmet cuisine and attentive service. Most of all the staff were outstanding! Thank you Steve and Geraldine and your whole team for making our stay so enjoyable! We do hope to return. In the meantime bula and vinaka!

Disappointing stay

We were very disappointed that the resort forced us to pay $140 fijian dollars per person for dinner and breakfast. Also, if we had not been persistent in checking on availability of an excursion the next day, we would have missed out because they gave up 4 spots before us when we were told at check in that we would be confirmed. There is a complete lack of communication and follow through to make sure guests needs are taken care of. Aslo we were told all the excursion boats were gone for the day when we checked in, but we saw another boat leave later in the early evening. Food quality is poor to average. Lastly they charged us for 4 covid 19 tests, when we had the required fijian covid insurance that is supposed to cover these tests. Now we have to go through the insurance to get reimbursed. Would not recommend this resort!

Very enjoyable!

We enjoyed our time there very much. We stayed in a premium ocean view bure & it was large & clean with a comfy bed. The kitchen was well stocked & it did have gorgeous views. Overall the staff were friendly & helpful. Many seemed to actually enjoy their jobs. The beach may not be for everyone, at low tide it’s very rocky & mucky, but at higher tides there is more Sandy beach. We dove with Ra Divers, the in house dive shop & it was a really good experience. The soft corals are amazing! Do keep in mind it’s a little remote, about 3 hours from Nadi.
