everything was amaaazing. location, facility, peaceful and quiet. the view👌was breathtaking. the host were very awsome, made us felt like home, so funny, and helpful to our every need. thank you Knox and Kelera. it was a trip to remember👌

Food was great, prefect location for anyone looking to go diving in Taveuni.

We enjoyed everything about our stay at Maravu Taveuni Lodge. The staff does everything to make sure you are having a good time, with local guides (Rafa and Karly) arranging and going with you on the beautiful trips all over the island (like the Bouma Waterfalls, Lavena Coastal Walk, the water slide etc). The communication with Maravu was easy and efficient. Will recommend Maravu to everyone who wants to visit the beautiful island of Taveuni.

The snorkelling out the back of the hotel was lovely. There was a large staff to customer ratio which meant there was always someone to help you. Lots of lovely plants at the hotel and the rooms were nice. Free water refills is always appreciated.

Aroha is the perfect place to stay in Taveuni. We came on the ferry from Vanua Levu and it is right next to the ferry pier. The property is very well maintained and really beautiful. The location is perfect and I would recommend hiring a 4WD vehicle. (Organised by the host). The host Losalini was very accommodating. She went above and beyond. She also chooses exceptional produce for the chef. The restaurant has the best food on the island for sure with their signature Wood Fired pizza. The rooms are fabulous, air conditioned with outdoor showers. The island has the Rainbow Reef which is a must for scuba divers and snorkelIers (I can highly recommend Taveuni Ocean Sports). The Bouma falls is worth a visit (we went to the 2nd fall which was far enough- one has to cross the river so ensure you have shoes u dont mind getting wet). There are so many villages one passes by on the way to the falls. Its also quite cool to visit the 180 degree Meridian.

As snorkelers, we weren't sure if we'd fit in at a dive resort, however, our concerns were completely unfounded. Heading out on the dive boat in the mornings and exploring the reef with a guide (while the divers explored other deeper parts of the reef) was exactly the experience we were hoping for. From the moment we checked in, we knew we were somewhere different to any other resort we'd stayed at. First and foremost, the staff are what make Taveuni Dive Resort so special. HIGHLY recommend the meal plan as the food is incredibly tasty and beautifully presented (besides, there's no kitchen in the bures, so cooking your own food is nigh impossible... and why would you want to!?). Speaking of bures, although no air conditioning, the dual fans were sufficient to keep us cool on the hot nights. Windows are all protected with mesh, so no issues with bugs. The shower was great (best in the afternoon when water is hottest). The king (maybe super king) bed was really comfortable. It was quite a novelty for us to have a turndown service! Starlink WiFi Internet is fast, but limited to the restaurant area. Cellphone reception is present, but patchy and slow data rates. For location, the resort is only a 15min boat ride from the reef. It's a 1.5hr drive to Lavena (one way) over some very rough dirt roads (the sealed sections are a blessing). The dive/snorkel outings are half day activities, so it's possible to do something else in the afternoon. The pool was great afterwards! Breakfast was selected the night before (at dinner) and had a good range to choose from. The breakfasts were excellent (as was all the food!). All meals are served at the restaurant. The staff catered for gluten free (banana bread was so good). Coffee, tea and filtered water was complimentary (dairy, soy and almond milk was available). Packed lunches can also be booked the night before to pick up at breakfast if heading out for the day.

Everything! It offered so much more than you can even imagine! The personnel makes you feel so welcome and special, every one of them!! Thank You!
