Best Waya Island Hotels

Xanadu, the sea view is superb. The food is good, suitable for relaxing yourself. The beach is great, the sand is round and doesn't cut your feet. The menu changes every day. It is rare for Chinese people to communicate in English. UnionPay does not support it. The Internet is only available in the restaurant and it is not reliable, but the wifi in their office is good and can be used in emergencies. On the island, you can email them to pick them up, or take the South China Sea cruise ship

If you can, avoid booking on Trip/Expedia as the resort doesn’t get to collect the fees paid through those services! I’ve had the most magical stay at Wayalailai, don’t think twice, just book your stay! 😍 Also bear in mind that on top of accommodation you have to pay obligatory $80/day for meals.

Great service! Great lunch and good dinner! They propose you the snorkelling with the sharks which is amazing! It is must do thing in Fiji and in life! They have also a good diving center and you can dive also with the sharks which is awesome The shared bathroom facility is really clean and new! Just a negative thing is the safari room, the tent room is great idea but it needs some adjustment and if it is windy you feel like you are sleeping after the stars! But If they improve the tents it is perfect! I liked also the cocktails and the guy at the bar was really funny!

The outer islands have the best culture👍🏻There are few people, good service, human touch, and a very good beach. It feels like all the staff are around. There are good near-island coral reefs🪸Excellent diving spots, but the boat is far away from the main island. You can go to Denarau Pier and take the South Pacific. You don’t have to tie up the helicopter and get close to the small boat. Connected ~ There is a Japanese omakasa restaurant. The chef Mark is very rigorous. We followed Sam to Soso Village and learned about the local history, churches and schools. It was a great experience.

Very good outside island hotel, the design is more attentive. The time spent on the island was very relaxed, the meal was served, the breakfast was a buffet mode, and the lunch and dinner were Western food but very delicious. Snorkeling is great. The scenery is great.

Barefoot Manta was amazing! We spent 5 nights and had the best time. The staff were incredible, especially the resident marine biologist Rob who was a mine of information and enthusiasm. There are 3 different beaches to snorkel from and the snorkelling was the best we have ever seen, it is a protected marine reserve and we participated in coral planting which was great. The Manta Ray trips happened on 3 of our 5 days, it is a bit of an uncontrolled bun fight with various resorts sending their boats to see the mantas but the Barefoot Manta crew were educated and respectful. The resort is beautiful and has a lovely vibe, the staff were so friendly and helpful. We stayed in a double Bure on the sunset side, it was a permanent tent and it was all that we could have wished for, right on the beach. The meal plan is really expensive by our standards, I would have preferred an al a carte option as I have food restrictions and I found that eating salad and rice for almost every meal was boring and repetitive. The staff did try though, however $40 Fijian for salad and rice was a bit on the nose. Bring snacks! It would have been good if they could have made the tea/coffee available all day and maybe had something available for afternoon tea as it is 6 hrs between lunch and dinner. We do recommend this place.
