Waya Lailai Eco Haven

Great food. The place could do with an upgrade to the general infrastructure with improvements to buildings, stairs, walkways etc and a general cleanup.

We initially visited this establishment to have a few beers and assess the atmosphere before deciding whether to book a stay for a few nights. Our group of six gathered for a farewell drink for a friend. After seating ourselves at an empty table, the manager, whom I believe is named Losalini, approached us and abruptly stated, “You can stay for 15 minutes, then you need to leave.” We were shocked and taken aback, especially since there were at least two other empty tables, and we had every intention of ordering more drinks. This unwelcoming experience left a lasting negative impression, leading me to book my accommodation elsewhere. Unfortunately, this was the worst hospitality experience I’ve had in Fiji.

Very nice accommodation, especially for a small budget. Staff was always friendly and helpful. Food was good but I preferred Fijian dishes instead of the international meals. Large reef directly at the beach. Reef shark snorkelling is an absolute recommendation and scuba diving with Sau from the island‘s diving school Yasawa Tropical Diver as well. The Sunrise / Sunset hike is great, too. Our Bure was clean and well maintained, it even had mosquito nets. Food price is 80 FJD/day, meals are served buffet style. I would absolutely recommend to stay at Waya Lailai.

Maravilhoso Experiencia maravilhosa. Quartos em frente ao mar. Pessoas simpáticas. Comida boa e variada todos os dias. Refeições às 8:00, 12:00, 15:00 e 19:00 (80 FJD por dia). Fiz visita à aldeia (40 JFD) e subi ao Rochedo (30 JFD).

Absolutely brilliant experience. Felt like we were part of a family. Great food, great conversations. Can one ask for more!!! The people are absolutely amazing, they fill the place with laughter, happiness and warmth. The set up is such that it gets people together, encourages conversations. We spent New Year's Eve there and had a wonderful evening with great music, dancing and singing.

Nice Bure and Good Food The bure was nice and clean, and the food was really good. However, the internet here is very weak, so if you need reliable internet for work, there are better options available. The staff was nice, but not as friendly as at other resorts or homestays. Note: We came to this island to swim with the sharks, but unfortunately, they don't offer any activities on Sundays.
