Mere and the whole team were super helpful, friendly and made it a very nice place to stay. The food is excellent with views of the sunset and the ocean. Very easy access to the beach where you can snorkel, grab a coffee or some more food. Recommend using their local knowledge to book excursions such as scuba diving or trips around the island. Look forward to returning one day!

So welcoming, friendly - they just made everything easy. Great vibes with a beautiful space and attentive staff, but still felt relaxed and authentic and not sterile like a resort. Beautiful grounds, and small, so very peaceful and private. There is great snorkelling right across the road if you go at high tide.

Stunning views

A friendly small resort with the most stunning views. A short walk down to a fabulous beach where you can snorkel. The food was plentiful and divine. There is no air conditioning but that was manageable with fans and good ventilation. There are only a few bungalows which makes it intimate. Everyone was super friendly and helpful.

🌺 Magical Stay at Makaira Resort – A Slice of Paradise! My time at Makaira Resort in Taveuni was nothing short of incredible. The views, the peace, the warm hospitality—this place is a true hidden gem. A special shoutout to Mary, whose massage was beyond amazing. One of the best I’ve ever had—deeply relaxing, soulful, and set against the soothing sounds of the ocean. She truly has healing hands! If you’re looking to unwind and reconnect with nature (and yourself), Makaira is the place to be. Can’t wait to return. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We loved our stay here. Great view, amazing breakfast every morning (we're talking fresh fruit, coffee, juice, freshly baked muffins, homemade pineapple jam, toast, pancakes, homemade pineapple syrup!!), and super friendly staff. Every want and need we had was met with a smile from the staff. Cherry on top was the massages. Rooms are huge, clean, and have great views. Taveuni was our favorite island while exploring fiji, and we will be sure to be back :)

Unique was the friendliness of ALL the staff and Mary's awesome cooking. The place is very well maintained, great sea wiew, nicely located, although requiring -7 min walking down to the beach. You need a transport to go shopping, to the airfield or to the main town with ATM machine. Less ideal was the music from the "restaurant" down at the road. All in all a place I really recommend.

This is a small resort, with only 4 guest cottages (which they call bures), so there's a lot of privacy. There are expansive views of the ocean, including sunsets. The staff is very friendly, with a wonderful sense of humor, and we shared a lot of laughs. Our bure was cleaned every day. The dinners in their restaurant were delicious, with generous portions. Breakfast was included every morning, and activities were arranged for us.

This was a great property, staffed with amazing people!

It really was a wonderful experience….food…..breakfast and dinner….DELICIOUS! Seriously so scrumptious! I had tears in my eyes when we left….such wonderful memories made! If you get the chance try a massage….best I have ever had! Hats off to Mere, Small (for getting us coconuts) and everyone else!!! You are in our hearts forever!!

A wonderful holiday spot on Taveuni island

We stayed 4 nights in Grand suite- cottage contains two double beds with two separate bathrooms and living/kitchen area. It has wonderful views. Snorkelling is just 3 mins from the beach, but only in high-mid tide conditions. Reef is very nice. Staff is very friendly. Mary has organised our land tours (Lavena coastal walk and waterfalls in Bouma National park- don't miss them and take a guide for coastal walk as we got a bit lost) as we did our water-based activities previously in dive resort. Food was the best on this island- both breakfasts and the dinners cooked by Mary. We strongly recommend to use this option for a dinner. Two small things are to mention: no dark blinds/curtains in the rooms, so it is quite bright to sleep after sunrise and the tea pot and pots for cooking are huge (it would be good to have a small cooking pot). On weekend, it was a loud music from the restaurant below on the beach, but finished around 11pm. Overall, we enjoyed our stay tremendously.
