I stayed here for 3 nights as a solo traveller in April 2013 and had a fantastic time. It was easy to get to by bus/taxi from Nadi but seemed a million miles away. It's a very remote location but has everything you need right there. The resort comes across as very luxurious but the dorm rooms hidden at the... More

Bula Vinaka, Thank you for your review of Volivoli Beach Resort. I am slightly confused by your comments, I think that you are referring to the sand in the main complexe as the "Beach"? I hope that you did indeed walk around to the lovely white sand beach beside our dive shop. Once again thank you for your review. Kind... More

We used this hotel for a stopver on our self driven tour around the island Viti Levu, because it is conviniently located half way between Suva and Nadi. For our purpose the hotel served us perfectly. Our room was large and the beds were supersoft and we slept very very good. The garden of the hotel is beautiful and the... More

Bula Vinaka, Thank you very much for your review of Volivoli Beach resort.

I wasn't meaning to go to this resort but to another place on an island off of Rakiraki. However, when I got there, the island was not accessible and the taxi driver took me to Volivoli Beach Resort. As a solo traveller I didn't want an expensive cabin or room and opted for the dorm. Volivoli Beach Resort has dorms... More

This is a gem of a resort. The Darling family have created the perfect atmosphere for divers and vacationing families alike. Our Vale bedroom was spacious, well-appointed, comfortable and spotlessly clean, with plenty of storage space, huge bathroom, fridge, efficient air-con. Bottled water regularly supplied. We were delighted with the provision of sachets of ground coffee and a plunger/press/cafetiere. All... More

Volivoli has a very nice and laid back atmosphere. As someone who travels frequently to many Fiji based establishment, I find the experience here much more genuine than other places. Staff members are friendly, yet do not pester you with constant fake "bula" 24/7. The guy who owns the place is around most of the time and is very approachable.... More
