“Great budget backpackers on the beach”
Love the location, right on the beach, loved meeting the locals from the village who would just join us for the evening and were so friendly.

“Beautiful local experience”
The island is beautiful with some activities to do around. The staff is so lovely and want to make sure you have a good time on the island with them. You get to meet the family and they make you feel very welcome. It’s not luxury, not hot water, no wifi, but perfect for a short stay experiencing the local lifestyle

“Me and my partner are super grateful that we stayed here and got to meet all these amazing people!”
The atmosphere at this hostel is just exceptional and can hardly compare to any other hostel. We stayed here for 2 weeks and wouldn’t have stayed any shorter. The staff is super welcoming and always helpful plus you get a real local fijan experience as the staff and locals are hanging out with the guests too which is super nice. One evening we even had a fijan dance and fire show! The location of the place also couldn’t be better with the beach right in front of it. You also get fresh local food 3 times a day which is really delicious and really reasonably priced. The team also runs daily trips to other islands, snorkeling, etc depending on what you are interested in. If you are looking for a real fijan experience on a beautiful island with beautiful people and want to get to know the fijan culture this is the place to be. I can only recommend this place and would return anytime! This is the best hostel I have ever stayed at! Plus when you go there send big greetings to Bosco from Michi, a living legend!

“Okay for short visits - 3 or 4 days.”
- Very friendly staff. They made you feel very welcome and it felt much like a home stay. - The food was great most of the time, there were a few meals that were just okay but overall i was happy. I would recommend buying extra crisps, cereal bars, noodles, water in Nadi before you transfer to the island. I was sometimes hungry between meals. - The island was about 30-40 minutes away from the surf breaks. The boats would take you to the surf whenever you like. - It's a small Island thats small enough to walk around in a couple of hours, the island has nice snorkel spots.

“Beautiful experience, it feels local, nothing fancy but quite nice”
Staff was lovely. Food was great, it’s all local, nothing fancy but yummy. My room was in front of the beach, obviously if you expect luxury this is not the place.

“I left my heart in Mana Lagoon”
Mana Lagoon is a great place for backpackers. I had a good time with the crew of the island. I felt at home. They spent time with you for talking or for share and drink the kava. They are very friendly. I hole came back. See you. Thank you.

“Amazingly run hostel!”
Mana lagoon resort was incredible. The family feel driven by the staff makes everything so welcoming and friendly. The staff really were amazing, they take care of you as a family and make the stay on the island even better than the paradise it already is. Shoutout to David, Jim and Mike! Lots of great activities on offer and great food too.
