Hotel Malolo Island dengan Kolam Renang

Spent 5 nights celebrating 2 birthdays with my sisters. But unlike the island resorts in Tahiti that provide private boats to pick up guests, we had to take a public ferry (designated time) at the terminal with many stops which took almost 2 hours to arrive (45 min if non-stop). But upon arrival, there were staff singing welcoming songs. Then one staff gave us welcome drinks and provided an overview of the resort. He then walked us to the front desk for check-in and drove us to our 3 beach-front bures. When we entered our room, the luggage was already inside. The only issue we had in our room was the air-conditioning wasn't cooling so we had to call maintenance to fix it. We had a great experience doing almost everything the resort offered: relaxing at the pool, snorkeling at the beach, kayaking, sailing, getting massages; not to mention all three meals that were included. We also did two other paid snorkeling and one scuba diving. Each one was only about 10 to 15 min boat ride. One snorkeling trip was at a small island called honeymoon island which is surrounded by coral reefs. However, we went in the morning during low tide so we had to swim around the outside edges or we would be too close to them. So I suggest going during high tide when swimming above the corals is allowed. Scuba diving experience was also great, which was offered by PADI. We started off at 9am with orientation by watching a video and hands-on training with full gears at the shore. Then met again at 2:30pm to open water and dove for 30+ minutes at 12-meter deep! Other complimentary activities during our stay: 1. Kava ceremony and tasting on Tuesday 2. Kokoda making and tasting on Thursday 3. Management cocktail and Meke performance on Friday Friday buffer dinner had lots of meats and seafoods, including sushi and sashimi! For birthday, housekeeping staff decorated the bed and restaurant staff brought in cake and sang birthday song, which was sweet! The only reason I didn’t give 5-star is because staff friendliness was inconsistent. While most staff were always friendly and greeted us “bula” every time, some staff at the restaurant were not very polite. We already made the hotel manager aware of the situation and was promised the issue would be addressed. Having said that, we have to give a special shout-out to Dimari, restaurant manager, who always carried a big smile on her face and accommodated all our requests! Thank you, Dimari, for making our stay so much more enjoyable!

My partner and I stayed for 5 nights during the off-peak season (December) using a package from MyFiji Holidays. The staff were so welcoming and accommodating, which made the stay even better. Staff went above their standard duties, making us special cocktails off the menu and even a hand woven coconut leaf hat after we attended a Fijian weaving experience. The amenities are all you could need for a mix of relaxation and adventure. The snorkel gear and kayak were available as we needed. There was a coral reef right in front of the resort beach and a small rock island only a 10min kayak from the resort with abundant wildlife - reef fish, reef shark, stingrays, turtles and starfish! The water was walk-in temperature. There wasn’t really any need to leave the resort as there were so many activities to do there. The massage hut was perched on a point overlooking the water - no need for music with the natural ambiance. The staff were so lovely and happy to chat. They had a guest pool with bar service in the pool, overlooking the beach. We also had a private plunge pool and an outdoor shower at the room, which were lovely to use in privacy. The rooms were spacious and clean with aircon and huge a bed. There was a daily schedule filled with included activities (ceviche demo, coconut tree use, basket weaving, sports) and additional cost activities (island picnics, snorkel trips, visit to a floating restaurant). We attended a Meke (Fijian dance) with a Lovo (underground oven) dinner, which was fun to experience. We would love to come back to enjoy the hospitality of Tropica Island staff and Fijians!

a relaxing spa experience with Dr. Aju gave good advice for better sleep, Lani and Maria provided therapeutic treatments for restful sleep, Dan taught surfing, overcoming fear of water, a fulfilling and joyful soul journey.

Funky fish is the perfect place if you sre in Fiji for surfing, diving, or just relaxing, and you are on budget. The staff is simply awesome, so familiar, and you get to experience the local vibes, which are more difficult to experience if you are in a big resort. The pool area is perfect to relax and the meals are great. The beachfront bures are simple but enough for sleeping and taking a shower. Beds are big and comfy.
