Volivoli Beach Resort

The experience at the resort was so great, it was like an adventure but what went wrong was the room safe. Despite advising the Receptionist several times, they said that the manager will assist in opening it. We waited for 2 days till they opened the safe for us to use even seeing their manager with her “uniform” walking around the premises we can tell. But everything turns out fine with meals and drinks and outdoor activities. But just a little improvement on their staff in assisting guests. Good Job Volivoli👍

Bula Sarah and thanks for your feedback, it seems like everything was fantastic during your stay with the exception of a slight issue with your room safe. Apologies for that, we are addressing with the Housekeeping and Reservations teams as this is something that we agree should be a quick and easy fix and of course not even be an issue in the first place. Thanks for your feedback and patronage, we hope to see you again in the future.

We just got back from a 7-night stay at Volivoli, we had a total of 27 people with 19 divers in the group. I can't say enough about the resort, first and foremost the Staff are friendly and helpful, the food at the restaurant was excellent. The rooms at the resort were spacious and very nice and the cleaning staff did an excellent job. I can't say enough good things about the resort. The dive shop at the resort is Ra divers, this was a great experience. I would highly recommend them; the dive masters did a good job {Tuck and LeLa} top notch. We will definitely be back.

Bula Adventure288559 thank you so very much for spending time with us, our entire team loved hosting you all and we couldn't be more please that our efforts were appreciated. Wishing you safe onward travels, and of course, we are looking forward to welcoming you back to your new "Fijian home" when the time is right. vinaka vakalevu

It’s a great resort with great food . I’m gluten intolerant these days and the staff really went the extra mile to make my meals just right . The chef would even come out and discuss it with me. This is not a cheap resort and you would think the wifi would be included but that’s extra ! Lucky there was a phone tower right near so didn’t need it . We were led to believe from talking with the reception staff that there was snorkelling right off the beach, there is but it’s crap! So $100 aud for trips out to somewhere where it was good . Factor it in. The drinks have happy hour rates at times but be aware it’s not 1/2 price eg $ 30 cocktails were $25 just so you know . We had a great Bure but a couple of things that didn’t get fixed when reported were the safe was locked for the whole 5 nights we were there and the fan over the bed went two speeds either cyclonic or dead slow . We needed them as the aircon was very noisy . All in all a very nice resort with beautiful views and nice staff . Prob 3 nights would do it . Oh and you have to make your own way way from Nadi there no hotel pickup. Included . We hired a car and only used it a couple of times as it’s not needed really but taxis are dearer . One other thing there’s a small waterfall on the way to Suva on the side of the road as a tourist attraction . Don’t bother as it’s crap and a risk getting to it !

Bula rooney57 and many thanks for your 4-star review, whilst we constantly strive for 5-stars, and will action your points, 4-star is still pretty good - however we can do better. As we take on board all reviews and questions with the aim of constant improvement we have tried to answer each of your points below:

WiFi - yes we have a range of WiFi stay options.

SNORKELING right off the beach in front of the resort on our 3 x House Reefs has many amazing and beautiful critters, including seahorses, pipefish, nudibranch, anemone fish (nemo), starfish and so much more which start in very shallow easy accessible water, however the visibility can be limited during outgoing tides.

SNORKEL SAFARI trips are FJ$80 (NOT AU$100), which is approx. AU$52.00.

HAPPY HOUR - yes we have 5 x Happy Hours per day rotating throughout our 3 x onsite bars and as Happy Hour means "a period of time during which the price of drinks is reduced" we certainly have DISCOUNTED or REDUCED prices, it isn't 2 for 1 or half price. Also worth noting all prices are in FIJIAN DOLLARS.

SAFE LOCKED - apologies for this, if we had been advised we absolutely most certainly should have actioned this so apologies once again.

FAN SPEED - as per above point, if this was reported we most certainly should have actioned this the very same day so apologies again.

AIR-CON NOISE - similar to above 2-points,

TRANSFERS - we have transfers 24-hours a day between airport and anywhere within the island Viti Levu, this is something that happens many multiple times each and every day of the year. Whilst "self-drive" is available almost 99% of our clients tend to use our transfer service.

Thank you again, we do appreciate all feedback and have added a couple of these points onto this months HOD team meeting agenda.

3.5 star accomodation - clean and tidy - oven not working and advised hadn’t worked for about 5 years - so semi equipped kitchen with pots pans plates cutlery etc but no ability to cook anything. Restaurant food 5 star - food superior to 5 star Denarau resorts such as Sofitel where I am currently - staff 4.5 star - area prone to wind (common trade winds for Fiji waters)

Bula Steve, thanks for choosing to stay with us and appreciation for your review. You are correct, we do not have any cooking facilities in any of our rooms or villas, and the FOV where you strayed with Alan, Geoff and Morris is part of our renovating/remodeling project so the oven is disconnected and will be removed and the kitchen area remodeled in the near future. We are super happy you and your friends loved our food and gave us a 5-Star vote, our full meal plans are certainly a big hit, why cook when you're on holidays and having fun. Let us do the work for you. Apologies if we hadn't explained this whilst you were with us.

I know that most people go to Volivoli for the dive experience which I am sure is wonderful.

However, my partner and I stayed at Volivoli as part of our honeymoon and were enchanted by The resort, the staff and the food.

We have stayed at many resorts as part of our trip, but none had more exciting and contemporary food than Volivoli. Really 2nd to none, very impressed.

Then there were the staff who were genuinely friendly and empathetic and fun. A real highlight for us was the Fijian dance show, or Meke, a wonderful show, combining adults and younger persons in a vibrant and colourful event, with lots of dancing!

Then there was the traditional Fijian feast or Lovo. Again, contemporary flavours, combined with traditional Fijian cooking techniques culminating with an extraordinary presentation, made the evening something very special.

For us also driving around the local countryside, and visiting the local villages added something special.

Whether you are a professional diver or someone just looking for a great resort then we recommend Volivoli 100%. Thanks again to the staff and everyone there.

We really strive for the authentic Fijian experience is a boutique resort.

Vinaka and we look forward to hosting you both once again, when the time is right, maybe at a future anniversary.
