"Oarsman’s Bay Lodge is a magical place. From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect and better than we could have ever hoped for. The staff are so warm and friendly and there was an amazing range of paid and free activities each day. We were there over Christmas day and the lunch they put on was incredible - they even managed to get turkey!
The beach is paradise on earth with the clearest water and most amazing snorkelling. We had such an amazing time here, it really is a very special place with the most hospitable staff and the sweetest resort dogs."
"The Blue Lagoon Beach Resort has to be the most luxury resort experience for the most affordable price in the Yasawa Islands. The accomodations are lovely and clean, the staff friendly and efficient, the food delicious, and the setting outstanding. The house reef and coral farm were special highlights, as well as a visit to the village church service, a beautiful beach with incredible views, and a fishing expedition that brought in some amazing fish. The chef made a feast of our catch and we were so impressed by the service and the experience in general. The two restaurants have something for everyone, and our little family felt like we were treated like royalty. We would recommend this special place to anyone who wants a unique and beautiful Fiji experience! And we will dream of the outdoor shower and comfortable plush beds for years to come. "
"antastic place to spend your time.
Mantaray Island about 3.5 hours from the main island in Fiji in the Yasawa Island group, is a beautiful little hamlet of paradise.
I spent 5 nights in a Reef Bure (With AC) an was extremely impressed with the cleanliness and general upkeep. The outdoor bathroom is an absolute highlight with its 3 different light/mood settings at night. The Bure itself was also only 12 step from the beach with its beautiful torquay blue water.
Great snorkeling is on offer straight off the beach (High tide only) and a lovely hotel pool for low tide.
The Restaurant served amazing meals on a set menu that changed every 2 day’s (B,L,D) and during the day you can swap your lunch meal for a pizza by the pool if you like, the resort also offers diving (Which I didn’t do this time) and a Spa that offers a limited but good range of massages.
The Hotel is a cashless hotel, so you don’t need to have a wallet full of cash like I had.
Overall this is a very good 4 star operation in the Yasawa group, and I am definitely looking to come back in July-September next year when the Mantaray swim past the Island.

"The staff was super friendly and helpful. Was really surprised with how great the food was especially the steak. There were plenty of activities to do and were well priced with the non-motorised activity being free. The beach around was very nice and good spots for snorkeling and shell finding. The room was nice with good amenities."
"Yasawa Island Resort was stunning. Our villa was amazing and right on the beach. The staff are so friendly and helpful. Great conversations We were able to witness a sea turtle laying her eggs on the beach and then in the morning see her trail back into the ocean. The air travel arranged by the resort to the property was incredible "
