We enjoyed our stay at Funky Fish where the flavoursome meals were included in the room fee! The bungalow was spacious, clean and comfortable and the staff were friendly and accommodating arranging cheap boat transfers. We were right in front of our private beach and you could snorkel right there! The pool was a good size and the only downside was the wifi was broken during our stay.

Staff was friendly, courteous, and helpful. Room was clean. The premises were green and well maintained. The meals were delicious and drinks reasonably priced. The staff played music and sang upbeat songs every evening. The beach length was small but nice. The water was perfect for swimming. Their boat service was reliable and very low priced. Met several nice guests. Will definitely stay here next time. Highly recommend this resort!

Get A Way

Spent 3 nights. Staff was attentive and gracious. If you are looking for a laid back, low key get away, this could be it. It is somewhat isolated, access is only by boat.....if you want to go anywhere, you have to arrange a boat to take you there. Great weather while I was there

We had a great time staying at the funky fish! Accommodation worked really well for our group of young students. We also really enjoyed the food, and the drinks selection was great too! There were some really fun activities on offer, and I would definitely encourage taking advantage of these- we really enjoyed going to Cloud 9 and having a day trip to Musket Cove!

We had a wonderful stay at Funky Fish Surf Resort and wanted to share what we loved about it. The resort is exactly as described – simple, laid back and authentic. The beachfront location is unbeatable, with easy access to world-class surf breaks and stunning views all day long. We really appreciated the home-cooked meals, the friendly local hospitality, and the relaxed atmosphere that makes you feel instantly at ease. It’s not a flashy resort, but that’s the charm – it offers an authentic Fijian experience rather than just another Instagram backdrop. It’s great value, especially compared to the high-end resorts nearby, and was perfect for us as travellers who wanted to enjoy the real Fiji: the surf, the sunsets, the tropical surroundings and the warm people. We left with beautiful memories and would recommend it to anyone looking for a genuine, affordable island experience.

Beautiful location. Right on the beach. The Bure (hut) was dated and well lived in with many repairs and painting over the years. I loved it. It was quaint, the beds were comfy, patio was shaded. Pathway was well lit. If you are looking to be pampered or catered to, don’t look here! If you are looking for basic low key accommodations to relax and read a book this is it. No fancy cocktails or gourmet meals. 3 meals a day and it’s take it or leave it. Portions are plentiful but very basic fare. High on carbs and protein. Scarce on greens or vegetables. Some of the staff deserve a shout out. So here to John for the great Kava ceremony and sing along on my last night. And a hug to Grace who kept my room clean 😌

Surfs up!

This place was awesome. I was looking to chill out and do nothing other then sip on drinks, eat delicious home cooked meals and surf all day…. and I got exactly that! It’s exactly what I needed after months of traveling solo. The personal cabins on the waterfront were absolutely picture perfect. The islands were easy to navigate to and from. Never ran into any issues and the staff were always around to help. It’s a good fun environment, the best surfing and super affordable!! Definitely will return many more times. Thank you!
