I am absolutely horrified by some of the recent comments written by some previous guests to the Island. We travelled there with a 17 & 15 year old. We stayed there in late March (for our third visit in 3 years) in which time the cyclone hit. We managed to get 5 days of perfect weather and the rest, well... More

This was my second time staying at Plantation island. I had read all the reviews and was surprised by how contrasting they were. I think that highlights how different people are and maybe not so reflective of the resort, I think the average rating gives an accurate reflection. Plantation island is a 3 star resort, if you want top quality... More

This was our 5th time on a Pacific Island holiday "with our family". We like to try a new destination each time as life is all about new experiences. But unfortunately we chose Plantation Island Resort. After reading so many good reviews we felt confident that Plantation sounded pretty good. The resort is extremely run down and we felt like...

Bula TEGILLY! We're sorry that you didn't enjoy our resort. Perhaps we weren't the right fit for you? We have been spending a lot of money updating the resort over the last 18 months. Already we have completed the following refurbishments: - completely renovated 2 Bedroom Bure accommodation - soft refurbishment of the Beachfront Bures and 1 Bedroom Garden Terraces... More

I would not receommend this resort. We stayed in the "newly refubished" one bedroom villas. What a joke.....no sign of any refurbishment! The Shower was flithy! The food is well below average. We ate mostly at Lomani, which is much better. Be very careful around the top pool....the wood planks have all rotted and some have not been replaced...a death... More

Bula Jdehlsen! We are sorry that you did not enjoy your stay with us. The 1 Bedroom Garden Terrace accommodation that you stayed in was refurbished in November 2011, but it has not been completely renovated. This means that all of the fabrics/furnishings were replaced, but the bathrooms and structure were not worked on. The bathrooms did have a "deep... More

Stayed 8 nights with one of our teens and two primary aged boys. Resort catered for everyone. The Kids Club is great for parents so they can have a break too. The Fijians are awesome with the children too. We had lovely weather, and the water was great for snorkeling in as there are so many species of fish to... More

There was nothing "Soft" about the "Soft Refurbishment" that was mentioned on their site which and was to be completed by start of April but was not when we travelled at the start of May. You would expect this to be maybe some painting or carpet changes, NO... it was a re-tilling of the kids pool and demolision and rebuild... More

Bula Hobbsiet! We are sorry that you didn't enjoy your stay with us in May. Unfortunately the kids pool re-tiling was quite urgent for safety purposes, and so adequate notice was not given to the sales and marketing department to pass on to our travel agent partners. This kind of renovation is not the norm, especially during peak season, and... More

We have just come back from a wonderful family trip to Plantation and can't wait to go back! The two bedroom bure was newly renovated, extremely spacious and comfortable. The food was three star - kids were very happy. The buffet was tasty most nights and the desserts were average. What we loved was there are four restuarants close by... More
