Wonderful stay! Our 6 year old son absolutely loved kids club, which really made our holiday. We stayed in a poolside room which was just perfect. The pool near our room was big and clean and just the right depth for kids who can swim but are still learning. One end has some shard. We spend time scuba diving and snorkelling, also great. We’d come again for the kids club. This is a big resort, lots of families. The food was fine. Outdoor seating could be kept cleaner (lots of bird poo). But it’s really my only complaint.

Stayed for a week on Plantation Island in Jan 2025 with family. The area is HUGE which means a lot of walking depending on where your bungalow is located! Despite website offering breakfast, half and full board meals we were told breakfast only was not possible and because we do not eat much, even half board would've been overkill so we opted out. This however means you only have ONE option for breakfast with the same breakfast menu EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. This restaurant was located on the other end of the island from our room so it was a long walk with kids every morning (hiring bula bikes made this much easier). If we had known this we would've prepared to bring milk, cereal and plastic bowls/cutlery to have quick breakfast. Mini fridge does NOT include any milk and you have to walk into the mini mart in Muskat Cove Resort to buy milk. Other things to note - free wifi in the restaurant areas was patchy/unreliable. Tap water is not drinkable and there were no water bottles in our room - had to ask and carry them from reception. There is no small light in the bathroom that can be left on overnight for the kids. The shower water pressure is weak which made washing off sand on the feet/lower legs difficult. Room however is large and spacious with a fans and a/c which worked well. The best part of Plantation is the free kids club which feature movies every night and free water sport activities. Water is clear and nice to swim in. Overall we all enjoyed our time!

Beautiful location but food is average, service is pretty rubbish - has to wait 45mins for a coffee and had to chase 3-4 times. In fact, of 23 meals at the resort, there wasn’t one where we didn’t have to chase up the order several times. Staff don’t seem to care and things can be pretty dirty at times - vomit on the walls of the bathroom in the room we were in, communal toilets not great, etc. others seemed to love it.

Great family friendly affordable resort. Great time to go as it wasn’t too packed and loungers/seats/bikes were always readily available. Very clean room & ammenities, gardens/grounds maintained beautifully. Easy transport to and from airport to island. An easy, affordable family holiday. Just pray for good weather, it’s a little boring without the sunshine and beware of the sea lice!

Not Impressed

Stayed here over Christmas and unfortunately struck a rainy week. We used to stay at Plantation regularly when our kids were little and came back this time with the Grandkids. Grandkids loved it even in the rain but we found the whole hospitality side needs a shake up. We arrived on late ferry because of Air New Zealand was delayed. On checking in were told even though we were unable to book a restaurant reservation we would be fed. Yeah Right after unhappy discussions we were then sorted out by someone who overruled the young officious ones and we were told to sit in the corner and later served a half cooked pizza and cold fries. Reluctant service which unfortunately became the way this resort was run throughout our stay. There is still some of the real lovely,friendly Fijian staff but the strict holiday camp way the restaurants are run do not account for a relaxed holiday appeal. Someone running this food and beverage side has forgotten about the customer and who is paying their high prices. Obviously some of the staff do not want to be working there and it shows in their attitude. Once back on the mainland it was nice to see the smiling faces again. There are other resorts in the Pacific Islands who welcome our hard earned dollars.

We made a last minute change at check-in and requested a bigger room, luckily they were able to accommodate and gave us the additional space. It was so convenient to everything we needed. Food, dancing, bars, water activities, swimming and good old fashion chillin. It was a good getaway for us. Also the themed menus at Copra were awesome too. We will be visiting again. Vinaka vakalevu

Our toilet overflowed a couple of days into our stay due to the septic tank being full. They emptied the tank but it took multiple calls to get someone to mop the bathroom floor so we could use the toilet again, and even then it was a terrible job cleaning it. Tavola isn't a good restaurant. Worse than an RSL. The buffet is ok. Black Coral is good. Highly recommend the trip to the sandbank for snorkelling if you have kids!! Proabably wouldn't return to this resort.
