Fantastic resort when weather is settled

The resort was amazing - the restaurant was nearly on the beach so nice for dining. The reef was great for snorkelling and the sand was nice on the beach you could swim in crystal water. Food was super!

Perfect place to relax!

Octopus Resort is the perfect place to simply relax. The rooms and bathrooms are very clean, the food is amazing, honestly the best we have ever had, and the beach is impeccable. Everything is organized to perfection, which made our stay feel completely easy and stress-free. The reef is very close to the shore, so at low tide it can be a bit difficult to swim in the sea, but there is an amazing pool to enjoy instead. The staff were incredible and made us feel completely at home. It is also a very nice place for families, with a playground and a swimming pool. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend Octopus Resort.

Beautiful beach and great resort

The resort is generally very clean. The shared bathrooms are constantly cleaned. The restaurants have amazing food, especially the Japanese one. The 10-course dinner is amazing. The staff is very kind and friendly, and there are many activities throughout the day.

I really enjoyed my stay.

The food was fantastic. There are a lot of different options, the amount you get is great. The resort is very accommodating to any preferences, allergies and restrictions. The staff are absolutely wonderful. Te beach and pool are great. There are sufficient lounge areas. There are lots of activities included and the snorkelling is really good.

Great Service, always friendly with a smile. Fun activities, great snorkling great around the reefs. Good food.

Easy access to the beach and to the restaurants. Staff and service were fantastic. They had a Japanese restaurant as well which was a good alternative to the main restaurant. Overall the food was good. We stayed at the Point rooms which gave you a little more privacy from the main area. Gave you a mini bar to start which was great.

So much to love about it here! Staff are exceptional, the food for every meal is amazing and lots of different options. Everyday there are a range of different activities (some free and others not). Snorkelling is magical here, you see so much! Could not recommend this place enough!!

Beach paradise, 5 star food, cultural experience.

I hope this review helps someone make a decision. Incredible location easy to access via fast resort boat which takes 1.5-2hrs. Drinks and snacks at the dock waiting for the boat. Beach front rooms are best if you can afford as these have direct access to the beach, stunning beach front vibes, outdoor bathroom was a treat. Garden rooms are also beautiful and private, beach access a short walk up the path to the main bar area and beachfront. Perfect location for adults and children alike. Small concrete paths suitable for prams. Highchairs, kids menu, cot, playground, kids club, experienced nanny’s from the village and beautiful staff made us and our 1.5 year old feel very welcome. The top two highlights of our stay was the incredible 5 star food for every meal. 5 nights felt like the perfect minimum to relax and experience both the main restaurant 4 course menu and the fabulous Japanese restaurant. Barista coffee and exquisitely prepared meals included in the full board package. Budget extra for drinks at reasonable prices. Kids fit in perfectly in the restaurant but due to the exquisitely prepared 3+ course meals, suggest booking a nanny for dinner time to further relax for your meal if you have kids. Second highlight and the reason I booked here was access to the village over the hill. This made for a genuine cultural experience of Fiji. It was fantastic to travel twice to the village once for a walk around, visit to the kindy school and meeting the village families and small craft market and once to attend the church service. The village people seem genuinely happy to waive hello and the kids will run up for a high five and play. My little toddler had a blast chasing the village kids around with a ball and playing stick swords barefoot among the families, houses, roosters and dogs.

Beautiful beachfront property with great snorkelling and an incredible new Japanese restaurant. Don’t both going diving here - just snorkel - the reef is so much better at the snorkeling spots!

This is true paradise for anyone seeking a complete break away from the stresses of day-to-day life

Octopus resort is a true gem of a find, and our family group of 7 people from Canada stayed for 8 nights at this true paradise resort. Firstly, the indigenous Fijian people working in the resort mostly come from a very small village 10 minutes walk away. These are the warmest, friendliest, kindest and most humbled people we have ever met. Their grace and courtesy went far beyond our expectations from the moment you get greeted with a big and embracing "bula" upon arrival. We stayed in 3 bures and one dorm bed, all of which were very comfortable and clean. The bed is super comfy. It is fun showering outside under the sun, rain or stars and amongst tropical plants. Access to the bures is along a garden path that is adorned with tropical plants and trees. Access to the common areas like dining room, bars and swimming pool is super easy. We mostly walked barefoot everywhere, so we got a great grounding going on too! Octopus has it's own spectacular house reef. I have swum in many reefs, including in the Red Sea along the Sinai peninsula, Hawaii and Mexico, and this reef is by far the best I have seen in the last 30 years of snorkeling. The corals are magnificent, and the abundance of fish reminds me of the Red Sea from 40 years ago (dating myself!). We went on a couple of excursions, one of which was to swim with the reef sharks. That is a must trip for anyone who appreciates this type of natural exposure. Otherwise, I was truly satisfied snorkeling off the beach, and each time I did I discovered something new to excite me. The food plan offers reasonably good food, and it is clear that the kitchen staff is trying to satisfy the culinary diverse likes of people from different places. We did not expect this level of care and investment in trying to make such a varied and tasty menu from which to select food from every meal.
