Aroha Taveuni Beachfront Bures

I felt like I was in a little bit of Paradise at Aroha. Not only beachfront for those glorious sunsets, but the Bures we stayed in were beautifully done. Everything covered when these were built. The staff were super friendly and helpful, Fijian culture at its best. The restaurant was lovely. Location was just perfect and lots of tours if you want to do them or just relax in the pool or on the sunloungers. Kathryn and Rod have recently taken this business over. They are perfect, both are genuinely interactive with their guests. You get that personal feel. I would come back and stay here again in a heartbeat.

Wonderful place to stay, excellent Staff and Food, and the Bures are fantastic. A hidden gem of Resort, if you stay here you do everything right! For the new owner we wish all the best, but with this Resort, Restaurant and Staff and Place you can't get wrong! Thanks a lot for having us!!! Ann & Stivi

This was our second time visiting the Aroha. The new owners, Rod and Kathryn, are so gracious and are amazing hosts! They are so respectful and helpful to their fantastic staff. I cant begin to say how lovely and wonderful the staff members are. They treat us like esteemed family members and go out of their way to make sure every aspect of the stay is perfect. The rooms are just beautiful with the ocean just steps away for swimming and snorkeling. The infinity pool makes for a heavenly and relaxing afternoon of laziness. The grounds of the resort are simply immaculate and beautifully landscaped. There are fresh flower arrangements from their gardens every day. They can arrange many fun excursions to the local sites. Highlights are the lovely and unique Civa pearl farm ( I got a pearl to remember on each of our trips), the Lavena coast and waterfall walk, diving and snorkel trips, birdwatching trips and much more. The restaurant, KaiTime, is far and away the best on the island! (We learned that the hard way the first trip when we ate some other places and we were sorry) We ate there exclusively for over a week with no repeats. The daily specials are so creative, diverse and everything is always beautifully presented. The only bad thing about Aroha is having to say goodbye……. It is always so sad to leave this heavenly spot!

We spent 3 days/nights at this hotel. We were in a quiet buré with all the amenities. There was good snorkeling at high tide (when it hasn't rained). Food was excellent, which is good since there are no other restaurants nearby. The owners, Dennis and Ngire are originally from New Zealand and have useful tips about what to see and do. They've paid a lot of attention to detail on the hotel grounds. This island is more humid than the other islands we visited. It rains fairly often, but the result is a very lush, green island.

Of all the places we stayed in Fiji, this was our favorite -- both the resort itself, and the island of Taveuni. It's not a full-blown resort, as there are only 5 guest rooms, but this gives it a distinctly home-y and intimate feel. A great place to relax if you want to be away from the crowds. The attached restaurant has a great chef, who had a new list of specials every night, and the whole staff was super-friendly (and not in "i have to be friendly as part of my job" way, but genuinely friendly).
