"Food, room and service excellent "

"In addition to a perfect location, Helene and Peter (hosts) are wonderful caring people. Sorry we didn't have time to get to know them better. "

"We changed our plans at the last minute and happened to come across Sau Bay on Google Maps. It looked like a great spot for a resort, so we decided to give it a try. After our stay, my girlfriend and I found it incredibly difficult to leave. We absolutely loved this place and didn’t have a single complaint. The resort itself is beautiful, and staying there was an absolute pleasure. It’s a small, intimate retreat, accommodating only about 16 guests, which made for a peaceful and personal experience. The staff were, without a doubt, the highlight of our visit. Everyone was incredibly kind and welcoming, treating us better than at any other resort we’ve been to. From the warm welcome, with them singing on the beach as we arrived, to the delicious food and drinks prepared daily, every detail was top-notch. The dive masters were also outstanding, making our experience exploring the Rainbow Reef even more unforgettable. I can’t wait to return and explore more of Sau Bay. I’ll definitely be back!"

"Enjoyed staying at Makaira resort. Second time staying here and definitely will visit again if I get another chance to visit Taveuni!"

"What an amazing hidden gem. The location and the property is wonderful. Thanks for sharing your piece of paradise with us. All communication was quick and helpful. Robert and Vinna were excellent property managers and offered assistance when we needed. The island itself is beautiful (so many butterflies and birds!). Top food recommendation is Kai Time - their food is delicious. "

"The Bures are private and large, beds very comfortable. The setting and grounds are beautiful, their Staff works EXTREMEMLY HARD EVERYDAY. Everyone smiled all the time and service was perfect everyday ! Food is Chef Quality Liza, the Chef was excellent with her selections everyday. The Bar was perfect and service as well. The diving is the best I have seen in the world for soft coral, the White wall was extremely impressive. All the dives sites are healthy, Lui our divemaster was excellent. Hal who runs the Dive Operation was on point everyday. Can't say enough about the whole staff. My only suggestion is for the Owners to pay their Staff more, they proved to us they definately deserve it !! I've been diving the whole World for 32 years as a Dive Master, Tavenui Dive Resort ranks up there as one of the very best !!"

"Although the place may not be opulent, it’s clean convenient and perfectly livable. The bed was great Knox and Kalera are gold. If you want a real experience of feature island life, you just couldn’t do better. We look forward to coming back someday."

"We went to a family reunion the location was ideal - property manager - the best aaccomodatinh "

"The moment we stepped on the beach in Waitatavi Bay we realized how fortunate we were to have found this magical place. Taking in the view of the sandy beach, to the crystal clear water & tropical fauna, it was amazing we got to enjoy this beautiful Bay all to ourselves. The Bure is nestled in the trees on the water edge with wall-to wall windows/doors with screens to keep bugs out. We slept to waves, woke to views, & snorkeled exploring the underwater topography. Each side of the bay has amazing coral formations, fish, & sea life. Bure even comes with an outside hot water shower & it was extremely comfortable. We had plenty of storage & area to dry dive/snorkel gear. Staff provided room service if we wanted meals inside the bure or out on the deck. The staff was wonderful, smiling, and caring. Meals are prepared with love, from fresh fish to using the coconuts that grow on the property. Privacy was never an issue when we wanted it. Days we scuba dived, staff arranged with the dive shop for transportation off & on our beach. Staff showed us the surrounding bays by boat, took us on an adventure to the Polynesian village where they reside, they were our guides to the fresh water waterfalls & showed us the hike on property for spectacular views. We were never bored. This was one of the top vacations we've taken. Prepare to be pampered & treated like royalty. Loved the isolation to ignore the outside world. This property was much more than we anticipated or expected!"
