Words cant describe how we felt but i ll try me best. Everything was amazing, you don't come here to stay in a hotel you come here to stay with your fijian family. I've never met such welcoming and loving people. We extended our stay just because it was too hard to say goodbye and we were not the only ones who decided so. They sing and dance every night and treat you as they treat their family. The activities are super fun, we were swimming with up to 15 sharks, spear fishing and hiking to watch the sunrise. On Sunday they invited us to their church service which was such a nice experience. The food is really tasty and always fresh and they always have some traditional dishes, not to mention the kava ceremony. The location is superb, the reef is colourful and full of fish and is right in front of the hotel. We had tears in our eyes when we had to leave.....

Mareia and Jolame are the loveliest hosts you can imagine. I was the only guest there but they still took so much time for a full day trip to do the reef shark snorkeling with me and a nice island for picnic. They food was always fresh and so delicious. They were welcoming me like a family member. Vinaka vaka levu!

Everything, from the initial transfer pickup at my hotel in Nadi to my final breakfast with my feet in the sand, my stay at Octopus Resort was nothing short of paradise! The most welcoming and friendly staff, I felt right at home, vinaka!

Beautiful homestay with the best food we had on the Yasawas. The room is quite new, it comes with a mosquito net and a spacious bathroom. The location is stunning, directly at the beach where you can do SUP or snorkeling. The owner and his family were welcoming us at the first evening with the traditional drink Kava, it was a surprise and a very nice experience. There were also kids who enjoyed joining us doing sports. The only thing that was a no go for us were the kids lurking through our windows when we were changing. But other than that, we would recommend it 100%!

Everything! Stayed in the dorms, spacious rooms with fans and electricity, buckets out front to wash your feet of sand before coming in. Frequent cleanings of both dorms and communal bathrooms which were also spacious and enough of everything even with full dorms. The staff becomes your family during longer stays and makes a real effort to remember your name, so you’re constantly greeted by name wherever you go. Nice activities that vary every day- crab racing, weaving hats out of coconut leaves, walks etc. Meal plan initially seems a bit expensive but you actually get great value for money- lot of different food options, three course evening dinners, lot of fruit and veg (and includes WiFi and snorkel equipment as well as sup board and kayak use). Drinks not included but considering the monopoly they have are still very reasonably priced.

Extremely polite staff, perfect location, top food (set menu mostly), vegetarian, gluten and lactose free options, a Japanese restaurant next to their main restaurant, nice and clean rooms, pool and superb beach. I would definitely suggest it!

Barefoot Manta is not just a hotel, it's a family :) It runs by amazing people, the location is excellent with snorkeling and scuba, and the food is good and diverse. Highly recommended.

The staff are so happy to interact. I get the feeling they all enjoy their days. The food was excellent and the snorkeling good right here. We are staying another 3 nights, it's so nice.

What a wonderful and memorable stay in a traditional Fijian village. We liked it so much that we ended up staying in Soso village for a month. Silo, Bill, Va, Rob, Simi, Luisa and Iki, we will never forget the great time we had with you. You took good care of us, prepared extra food for the children and helped us when they got sick. As for the village. The people are very friendly, with a lot of children, so our kids made friends instantly. The beach in front of the village is beautiful, with a nice healthy reef to snorkel and there are some nice hikes with spectacular views over all of the Tasawas. As there is no light pollution, stargazing is breathtaking and the manta ray passage is just around the corner. The accommodation is very basic with a bucket shower and no-flush-toilet, but the beds are comfortable and the food is great. Note that the water available is rain water, so if you want to go safe, bring your own bottled water (or aqua-tabs) from the mainland because there are no real shops on the island. Also, you should wear a Sulu (Sarong) around the village and in church, men too. And it’s expected that you bring a kava root (worth 20 FJ$) and/or some money to present to the chief of the village when you arrive.

Staying at Tai Evi Homestay in Soso Village was an unforgettable experience filled with warmth and community. The village, with around 600 people and 90 children attending the local school, welcomed us with open arms. Everywhere we walked, we would hear "Bula" being called out to us from peoples homes and yards. On the evening of our arrival, we met with the chief and brought offerings to get his blessing for our stay. Silo, Bill, Va, Rovini, Ike, Peter, and Loochi—made us feel like family. We enjoyed safe snorkeling in the vibrant coral reefs just off the beach, and the boat ride to the village while short, was filled with stunning views. The money spent for our two-night stay, felt like a small price for the rich cultural experience and genuine connections we made. The food prepared by Va was delicious, the bathroom, shower, and accommodations were clean, and we even had a power bar to recharge our devices during the day. We brought water with us, but were pleased to find out they had filtered water for us too if needed. If you're looking for adventure and a genuine experience, you have found your homestay! We wished we could stay longer, and hope to be back again! Current cost breakdown: 1. Accommodation: $96 FJD for 2 nights (booked via Booking.com). 2. Chief Offering: $25 FJD for kava (if needed to purchase in the village otherwise buy in Nadi) + $10 FJD per person for the ceremony, which goes to helping the village. 3. Boat Ride: $35 FJD for a one-way boat ride for the both of us (20-30 minutes). 4. Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner: $50fjd per person/day 5. Reasonably priced activities which include snorkeling/picnic, fishing, manta ray snorkeling (when in season and they are around), school visit, weaving etc.
