8/10 Very good

The dorm rooms are ok (and I was lucky to be alone so private room..), position is beautiful and good snorkeling from the beach. It is not that good the compulsory meal package, if compared with other resorts with the same price (or even cheaper) food is worse for both variety and quantity. The blue lagoon trip is ok for the beach but for snorkeling is a waste of money since they have better reef in front of the resort.

10/10 Exceptional

We loved absolutely everything about Oarsman's Bay Lodge-the beach, accommodation, surroundings, activities, food and especially the staff. We went to 2 other islands afterwards, and realised how spoilt we'd been at OBL. It was everything we'd dreamed of, and a lot more. Thank you to ALL the staff, who were like family. We had the holiday of a lifetime, and will definitely be back. This is the place for the true Fiji experience. Cannot give a higher review or recommendation. Thanks team OBL.

Beach was wonderful. Had this been first place we stayed we would have given higher marks, but stayed first at another island resort that had choices for meals instead of fish, fish, and more fish. Service at other resort better too as never had to ask for anything as someone always asking and attentive to our wishes.

Séjour paradisiaque

Bonne pension familiale où nous avons passé un agréable séjour et à taille humaine (8/10 bures). Le site est idéal au bord du lagon et de la plage. On se sent vraiment coupé du monde. La Bure est top et très confortable avec un super lit et une vue sur la mer et le coucher de soleil. La terrasse est top ainsi que les transats sur la plage. Ils prêtent des kayaks. Nous vous conseillons de faire la randonnée pour avoir la vue sur toutes les baies, c'est magnifique (chemin juste derrière l'hôtel). Les petis plus appréciables : l'arrivée en chanson, l'animation musicale au dîner et le goûter tea time, la table réservée pour manger tous les repas et en-tête à tête. La nourriture est bonne (attention, si vous n'aimez pas le poisson, vous abstenir car on en mange à tous les repas). Le seul point qui nous a dérangé, c'est que la patronne a une rigueur trop militaire : pas le droit de prendre d'autres transats que ceux attribués, quand vous avez le malheur de le faire vous vous faites réprimander comme à l'école (désagréable surtout quand il n'y avait personne sur aucun transat), manger les repas à heure fixe (ils sonnent l'instrument local) soit à 8h, 12h, 19h, le briefing collectif à l'arrivée, le check-out où chacun notre tour on se fait concoquer dans le bureau (comme à l'école chez Mme la directrice). Une ambiance plus détendue est attendue surtout avec le fiji time et dans cet endroit paradisiaque.

Excellent Island Adventure

The staff were absolutely wonderful, they made had everything we needed and were very helpful. hey served 2 meals of fish per day, cooked in a different recipe for each meal. Sounds like a lot of fish but it was delicious. Very nice place for swimming and snorkelling. They have free use of paddle boards and kayaks which is a nice touch. Highly recommend it!

We came here for the last leg of our honeymoon and this was our first time in Fiji. The staff was wonderful - so sweet and accommodating and always willing to try to help us. The water temperature for the shower was very finicky, but the bathroom/shower outside was very cool. Our bure was very comfortable and we had a kitchen but it did not have any pots/pans plates/silverware. It was nice to have a refrigerator though. The water comes up pretty close to the bures which was really nice, and you're able to walk right out into the water for snorkeling. We used the facility next door for our scuba activities and diving. They accommodated me fairly well for being a vegetarian as they only offer one meal for lunch and dinner with fairly the same breakfast choices daily. Some more variety with their meals, and maybe some options for mid-day to eat would be a good idea as there are no other places nearby to eat and if the kitchen is closed you can't get any food besides chips at the bar. We did enjoy the community feel and our last night there was the Lovo dinner buffet and a Kava ceremony afterwards which was wonderful. Thank you Ben, Anna and Joe for all of your help during our stay - you guys were great. If you enjoy a small, community style, simple stay in Fiji, this place will fit you just fine.

6/10 Good

The situation of the property is second to none with the most beautiful scenery, staff are all very friendly and helpful with lots of activities to take part in. The only reason I havent given a higher score is purely based on the food which was all fish, I don't eat fish at all so I opted for the vegetarian option but I just felt that the $98 was expensive.

4/10 Fair

The staff and location are fabulous! The actual Bures are terrible. We stayed in Bure 4 for 3 nights. The size and amenities of the bure were fine. However, the screens were filthy with bugs, there were spider webs on the bench in our room, our sheets had sand, and we could not escape ants and mosquitos - in or out of the room. The only relief was in the ocean. Additionally, the outdoor shower worked fine if scalding water, lukewarm and ice cold water in random rotation with minimal pressure are your idea or working fine. The food was fabulous! I happen to love fish but if you don't, I have no idea what you will eat. Lunch and Dinner is limited to the single option which is fish. Breakfast is pastries, fruit, hard boiled eggs, cereal... It was all presented and cooked well. I really did enjoy it but won't be eating fish anytime again soon. Instant coffee and tea are available complimentary from early morning until after Dinner as is filtered water. We were also able to get ice on a couple occassions. Cocktails are available and during our stay typically two special drinks were offered at F$35 to F$40. Soda was also available for F$5.50 which I thought pretty reasonable. We took three tours - snorkeling at Honeymoon Beach, Blue Lagoon and Sawa-i-Lau Caves. These tours were actually some of the best we have ever taken. If I was just reviewing the tours, a 5 would not be high enough. Overall, the resort was super boring, dirty and buggy.

Freundlich, familiär, keine Massenabfertigung

Sauberer und schöner Dorm, freundliches Personal, toller Strand (deutlich ruhiger als im Resort nebenan), nicht so überlaufen. Es gibt jeden Tag (ausschließlich) frischen Fisch, der sehr lecker schmeckt. Vegetarische Alternativen werden ebenfalls gekocht. Portionsgrößen sind ok, manchmal etwas wenig. Frühstück ist nicht so gut, sehr wenig Auswahl und recht "rustikal", oft überreifes Obst. Allerdings ist dies kein Beinbruch. Der Rest entschädigt absolut. Sonntags-Ausflug in die Kirche ist kostenlos, allerdings mit Vorsicht zu genießen, da es sich bei der besuchten Kirche um eine der "Pfingstbewegung" handelt.

Such a peaceful place. Fresh local food served daily. Beach is lovely and the reef for snorkelling is just outside your door and is amazing.

Alles war super: unser Bungalow war groß mit gemütlichem Bett, 2 Sofas, Aussenbad mit Jalousie, Küchenzeile, die wir nicht brauchten, denn das Essen war auch super. Schnorcheln direkt vor unserer Haustür war schöner als am Schnorcheltrip, türkisfarbenes Meer, Meerblick, Terrasse mit bequemen Adirondack-Stühlen und ein Hängesessel. Sehr nettes Personal, unaufdringlich, zu Ankunft und Abfahrt hat das Personal wunderbar gesungen. Ein wahr gewordener Traum.

Wonderful stay

Super friendly and warm staff in a beautiful location with terrific snorkeling. This was one of my top two locations out of the five I stayed at while in Fiji. The lodge offers lots of activities and delicious food (as long as you like fish). Would be happy to return here.

Everything was beyond perfect! I would suggest Oarsman’s Bay Lodge to anyone who is traveling to Fiji! Ms Oni Ratulele and the staff made you feel like part of their family, so warm and kind. If there was any changes to be made I would suggest mixing up the lunch and dinner menu. After a few days something else besides fish please. We will be back to stay real soon!

Gut, aber Preis/Leistung stimmt nicht

Das Hotel ist gut. Unser Bungalow lag direkt am Strand. Leider war die Toilette nicht geputzt, aber nachdem wir das gemeldet hatten, kam sofort jemand zum sauber machen. Der Strand ist toll! Das Essen war fantastisch!
