Hotels on the Lake in Mana Island

Spent 7 nights at the Sheraton, room was nice, clean, comfortable with good aircon and a ceiling fan. Island 619 breakfast and dinner buffets were good, but birds at breakfast time are a huge issue. We observed birds standing in the food and eating directly from the buffet daily and the staff did not seem to care or do much about it. Dont walk away from your plate, the birds will beat you back to the table! Spent most of our time at the Wet Edge bar and pool which was nicer and quieter than the main pool area of the resort. Room service and bars are well priced considering you are inside a resort. The Tatuvu restruant offers fantastic food , service and sunset views with nightly entertainment. The grounds of the resort are very well maintained and most resort staff are friendly and helpful. It is worth mentioning that on check in the resort requires a $1000FJD hold as a security deposit and that the resort is completley cashless. None of the resturants, bars or cafes will take cash, you need to pay via card or charge to your room. The only places that accept cash are the retail / convenince stores inside the grounds although the prices here are extremley inflated. If youre looking for better value for money go to the supermarket at Port Denaru where food, alcohol and medication are all significantly cheaper. We will absolutley return but would like to see the bird / food safety issues adressed.

This is a great location to experience Fiji for the first time. There are two beaches included in the resort that are walking distance to each other. The food was great with lots of choice and good quality. The cocktails at the pool bar and drinks were delicious made by Oscar and Seru. A fantastic benefit was free and unlimited use of the kayaks, snorkels and fins. The evening entertainment, in particular the singer and the choir were absolutely fantastic! The sunset bus trip to the western part of the island was a gorgeous way to start the evening/finish a day relaxing. A wonderful addition to the resort.
