Toberua Island Resort

Beautiful place to visit, we had an awesome time, one of our best family vacations, we went for one day and increased another day to stay. Great hospitality , white sand beach with calm and clear waters, this resort has Ocean swim, sea kayak or touring kayak is a kayak develped for the sport of paddling on the open waters of the Ocean, small boats with paddle Sea Kayak was one of the most lovely experience we had every day we stayed. our experience became even bigger when paddling in ocean water, kayaking. Delicious food enjoyed, breakfast, lunch and dinner outstanding people, great service, awesome hospitality, great management. I would love to go there again and agian with our family.

It was absolutely breathtaking,the view, the vibe, the staff. Everything was amazing.

We loved everything about our stay. The staff, without exception, were friendly and helpful and very accommodating. The facilities were excellent. Very well maintained, with a relaxed atmosphere. We loved our room that opened right out to the ocean. Our snorkeling excursion was very enjoyable and beautiful. The meals were some of the best I have had in Fiji, and we have lived here for six months now.

As a family with a 7 and 9 year old we loved this little island. The best part was that the kids could run around the island safely with complete freedom. A highlight were the rooms that all face the ocean and have a beautiful open feel with great views - way better that the standard big resort room. Other positives include the friendly management and staff, well priced daily activities that were fantastic (snorkelling, island trip, kayaking, fishing). It loses a star for the food which was hit and miss with quite a few communication issues with the kitchen, and it needs a bit of investment to freshen up a few things (gym, pool table). We are converts to a small island resort over the big ones so would return.

Incredible small resort, with the friendliest staff, amazing food, and beautiful setting. Truly a slice of paradise. We had 3 members of the family who are gluten free, and all had a fantastic experience. The chef worked to make everything gluten free and there was only one brownie dessert which wasn’t, but every other item on the menu they made. We have one child who is especially sensitive and he had zero issues the 6 days we were there.

Toberua is a hidden gem. We just returned from spending 8 days on this island paradise in the low season (February/March) when it is a bit warmer and wetter. We were consistently blown away by the exceptional standards and hospitality of the entire staff, and would highly recommend this to travellers interested in a secluded island getaway. The manager was there to greet us on arrival, welcome drinks in hand. By the end of the first day everyone knew and greeted us by name. The premium Bure (No. 2) was positioned perfectly right on the beach, complete with hammock and loungers. We were initially worried about the lack of air conditioning but the nights were breezy and the ceiling fan kept us reasonably cool. Evening temperatures were about 24-25C. Being away from the mainland there are very few bugs and I never needed the bug spray I had packed. The food was excellent and a cut above most of my previous resort experiences in Mexico, Costa Rica, and Hawaii. The current chef, who I believe is new to the role at Toberua in the last few months, is a definite keeper. The menu changed every day with a good variety of meat, fish, and vegetarian options. The tuna poke and bacon wrapped fern dishes were standouts. Zac, the bartender was great. The main purpose of the trip was for scuba diving and we chose Toberua in part because of the convenience of having its own dive outfit on site. We did 8 dives over 4 days and though this is not the best time of year to dive in Fiji from a visibility perspective, our dive master made a concerted effort to find the clearest dives for us with good success (see photos). Though Fiji may be better known for the soft coral in the North, I was very impressed by the hard coral formations and the density of fish. We also saw many turtles, white tip reef sharks, and rays. The water was very warm, about 29-30C. We considered some of the other scheduled activities and did make a trip out to Bird Island to see the red footed boobies and the black and white sea snakes. Apparently they are quite venomous but docile and unable to bite humans. We considered chartering the fishing boat, but ended up deciding against it since we got a taste during the surface intervals between scuba dives. Our guide cast out a line and managed to catch both a Spanish Mackerel and a pretty remarkable 73lb Giant Trevally, which was subsequently incorporated into the dinner menu the following day. Other quick notes: The island is fully solar powered. The water is safe to drink, and the internet (if you pay for the 5$ per day premium wifi) was more than fast enough to make WhatsApp calls home. I inquired about tipping and was advised to use the tip box in the main office, which seemed a nice way of doing it so that gratuities are split between all staff. There is a resident Parrot named Jack who had much to say and would occasionally come to the terrace to join us for breakfast. 10/10. Worth a return trip.
