Savasi Island Resort

Magical place Sawasi is a magical place, with such a beautiful natural setting with lots of "secret paths", rock outcroppings on the ocean shore, canals to kayak on, exotic birds and bats flying at dusk, beautiful flowers, amazing food, wonderful people! We stayed on Serenity, an old refurbished cruise ship. Nice experience but the Serenity could benefit from an upgrade (carpets, etc). The bed was very comfortable, sheets, towels, high quality. We had a great time and rated it 5 stars.

A huge thank you to all at the Savasi Island Resort who made our stay simply wonderful. From the moment of arrival at the Savusavu airport until our departure one week later, we were embraced as welcome visitors and offered the warmest of thoughtful, gracious and sensitive attention. Our assigned bure went well beyond any expectations and was perfect for the moment. A place of tranquility and respite after a hectic vacation was just what was needed. We have to admit spending a lot of time in the beautiful private infinity pool taking in the life of the seashore while simply cooling down in the beautiful tropical weather. It was such a joy to not only experience personal attention but to witness how staff interacted with other visitors, especially those with young children. An establishment run very professionally, there exists a well organized structure for delivery of services with plenty of flexibility to accommodate individual needs. All staff we interacted with were very sensitive to the well being of guests. A well thought out menu was featured well prepared locally grown foods, much of which comes from their own gardens. Food was prepared and served with well deserved pride; we enjoyed eating often amidst the sounds of staff singing joyfully as they went about their business, often taking a little time to dance with child visitors. Service was timely and the food very good. We left feeling we'd been offered a just tiny peek into Fijian Culture. The richness of the culture is apparent in context, and a willingness to engage in thoughtful conversation left us with much to reflect on. There's so much to learn from South Pacific Islanders ......... Thank you again to all at the resort and to Joanne (Goway Travel) who arranged for a beautiful visit

I cannot express sufficiently in words, the true perfection of this place. Every day was a day spent in paradise with absolutely amazing staff, beautiful food and an atmosphere of pure ‘family’ and ‘love’. The attention to detail and the welcome we received throughout our stay made it extremely difficult to leave. Thank you each and every one of you, for making our time together so very special, we’ll definitely be back but with the kids next time .. until then, ‘vinaka vakalevu‘

A beautiful place, really good food. There is no pool and not easy to get into the sea especially at low tide. Other than that it is an excellent place to stay

Don't expect to much.... The villas are nice, but if you expect them to be cleaned properly, no they make your bed... floor cleaning is not on the list. Food is served after you have to make your choice at breakfast what to eat at night. It is a true Fiji experience - amazing speed, but you are on vacation... Serious interaction with the people you will face with the driver, who seems to be the most professional person at all. Well he is a service guy! And the disappointment in person is the general who is running the show... Acting like a youth hostel manger, not interest as all in guest requirements. Try to make a booking and you face the challenge of your resilience.... SPA appointments: The advertise being small with limited number of guests, so you do not have to make a reservation well in advance... Well, asking in the evening for a treatment next day is responded with a "No problem" , all free... When showing up I the morning it is entirely booked for the day just a minute ago.... Frankly speaking they do not want to work. An Excursion to a nieghbour island wich was ranking high on our wish list and a reason why we decided to get here - well you have to beg Ma that she will take your money.... It is VERY expensive and all based on the willingness of the host... There is no respect toward the demand of guests and that they have limited time - you have to adjust your plans to the will of Ma.... It is a poor experience - I am sure other resorts in Fiji are by far better organized and prepared to meet customer wishes. Access to "blue" water is not an option, you have a little pool. . I would not recommend going here... and I am not a very critical person. Have a look at next doors "Namale" resort - it is very likely the better choice.
