Beqa Lagoon Resort

Very nice resort with mostly modern amenities. Very comfortable accomodations and professional dive operations. Shark feeding dive were as advertised with large Tiger Sharks arriving at The Cathedral.

We had the most incredible time at Beqa Lagoon Resort! All the staff were so welcoming and friendly, the rooms were stunning and the twice daily turn down service was a treat, the food was incredible, there were so many activities put on for the guests (school/village visit, fire ceremony, cooking show etc.), the spa was fab, and the whole atmosphere was just so wonderful and intimate. We did our PADI open water diving course here and we're so glad we did! We had Suli as our instructor and honestly we could not have asked for a better experience!! He trained us so well and efficiently that we were able to go for a reef dive and even swim with the sharks the day after qualifying - what an experience and we felt so safe with Suli, thank you! We couldn't recommend Beqa Lagoon Resort more (even if we'd like to reserve this slice of heaven for ourselves!).

From the minute we arrived at the resort, we were treated to an amazing experience. It was a long flight from St Louis through Chicago to LAX, then another 10.5 hours through the air to Fiji. We landed at Nadi and were greeted by the representative from the resort(and bus driver!). Granted we still had about three more hours of travel, but they tried to make it as comfortable as possible. The boat ride was about 35 minutes long and took us to Beqa Island. As we arrived at the island, the staff met us at the shore,singing a Fijian song of welcome. This was just amazing. They welcomed us with a fruit drink and made sure we got to our rooms. We were in Bure 1 which is pretty much centered in the resort, steps away from everything. We had our initial meeting with the dive operations team and Brandon made sure we all understood what was going to happen during our stay. They took our gear and placed it in gear bags and added them to the boat. I use 100cf tanks and they made sure that it was listed next to my name. Each day, before we even set foot on the dive boats, roll call was conducted and the divers received instructions for that day. The dive guides would brief us on the sites once we arrived. Our dive guide was Suli. He was amazing! Each dive, we got to see something we have never seen before. Made each dive so much more interesting. We never wanted the dives to stop!!! We also did a pair of shark dives that have ruined us for all other encounters with sharks. The Tiger sharks were HUGE!! We also did a night dive. In all of our dives, the guides made sure we were safe at all times. We never had to worry. We even found a wreck! My wife and I are usually reef divers but an occasional wreck never hurt. We know that a past customer hated the wreck and the diver operations manager was going to stop using that wreck as a dive site. We encouraged him to keep it. It’s a great wreck with tons of wildlife on it. The dive boats were well maintained and were actually dual-hulled power boats. They were very stable in the waters around the island. There were times when the seas had a little heavier swells than when we eft the resort. The boats helped decreased them. I have been in single-hulled boats in other areas and they were not as stable. They would rock int e swells more readily than the Beqa Resort boats. Everyday, the staff had something to do in the afternoon. You weren’t required to be involved, but we were encouraged. They would announce the days activities in the morning telling us what was going to happen during the day. Many of the activities were put on by the Activities Group. Jay was the most noticeable of the group, but was also very humble and polite. They had school tours, waterfall hikes and shopping tours on the main island, Fiji. Meals were amazing. Every morning, you had your breakfast cooked to order. They would have the menu for the lunch and dinner meals. All you had to do was mark what you wanted and how much. They woul
