Resort had nice views and friendly staff. But that was all. Getting to the resort was hectic. The taxi service very costly. The accommodation was not good. Not very clean. Bedding looked like it was never changed from last use. Bathroom was clean but net overhanging from the roof was full of insects and dust.

Our stay at Funky Fish was amazing. We stayed in the 2br Bure. The configuration is 2 singles in one room, a double in one room, and a single in the lounge. The best part of the place is the staff and service, really loved the hospitality there. Food was also really good value for what we paid, continental breakfast in the morning, cooked lunch, and dinner buffet. Simple but yummy food. My favourite part of the experience was the traditional demonstrations of coconut, cooking fish and basket weaving. The only improvement I’d suggest is to maybe have a bit more furniture in the 2br Bure so all can relax comfortably in the lounge area and maybe some side tables by the beds would be nice, and some utensils in the kitchen. Food wise, for Fiji in general, if you have any allergies like lactose or GF, to bring your own breakfast. Can’t wait to go back again and stay longer next time! Vinaka ❤️

Great little place to stay for the price. Hospitality was great. Included Meals were good and filling. Did have a leak in our burre and corner of the bed was wet. But that was the only thing. Fantastic budget accommodation

budget accomodation great place to base yourself.

Pros: Staff were very friendly like most fijiians,Sosi was especially helpful.
Cons: A la cart lunch menu could use a freshen up,greasy fish and chips not the best.
Location: Location was very close to cloud nine and numerous other activities .Mangrove area around the resort attracted the mozzies.
Very basic place with friendly staff and likeminded travellers,the water in front may be disappointing but you are based where a 20 min boat ride will have you surfing ,snorkelling or diving pristine clear waters.Dinners are great with the buffet choices,breakfast included was basic but adequate,6.00 am start for those surfing cloudbreak,wilkes etc,was disappointed with lunch at times but the burgers were a safe choice.

Friendly, fun and relaxed

Pros: Friendliness of staff, always interested, remembering names, and up for a chat. Their priority always seemed to be ensuring their guests were happy.
As a solo traveller, Funky Fish was the perfect resort for me. The staff were so friendly and helpful, I felt very welcomed and looked after, especially with dietary requirements! There were many opportunities to join in water activities like snorkelling, paddle boarding, surfing trips, and my favourite - the Cloud 9 trip. It was so relaxing, I have lovely memories, thanks guys!
