Aroha Taveuni Beachfront Bures

The accommodation provides comfortable beds, immaculate cleanliness, and friendly staff. Guests love the beachfront location and delicious food. However, some may find the accommodation lacking in certain amenities.

We had a wonderful time at Aroha Taveuni and wished we had stayed longer. We had everything we needed, yet the place felt very relaxed and peaceful. The room was spacious, with a kitchenette/patio area for cooking or chilling out, and an outdoor hot shower beautifully made for stargazing. The mattress was massive and super comfy, and we haven't slept like that in a very long time. The food prepared at the onsite Kai Time restaurant was amazing, with a different menu every night overlooking the Somosomo Strait at sunset. The chef even cooked the fish we had caught for us, what a treat ! The staff was very nice and considerate, so many hands at work to run this place smoothly. A huge thank you to the new owners Kathryn and Rod for organizing the numerous activities for us (birdwatching, fishing, hiking, snorkelling, you name it !), and their awesome company and entertaining discussions.

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!
