We were surprised that the property only consisted of one unit. It was a little more rustic than expected. However the owner shared meals with us at his home & the food was unique & delicious. As a dive master he took us snorkeling & was a great guide. He showed us around his property & the construction he has been working on for three additional units. The location is great. Made up for the rustic accommodations.

Remote and unique area and experience away from civilisation with only the noises of the nature and wildlife. Super friendly and hospitable family who really take care of you and provide a unique experience. Very convenient and close location for diving the amazing rainbow reef!!

We had a great stay at Dolphin Bay! Service, food, diving, location and views were all amazing! Remote location was beautiful. Accommodations were as described, basic/cabin campground feel. We loved Dolphin Bay and would highly recommend! We hope to visit again soon!

It's an excellent location, the staff was wonderful and very helpful. As a non diver I loved just chilling out, relax leaving work behind. Great to wake up in front of the ocean. Go swimming or snorkeling the reef right there.

Overall Excellence
Dolphin Bay was a tremendously great place for me and my girl! The food was maybe a little pricey but it was made up by being very very tasty and a lot more varied than other places we stayed at during our time in Fiji. Attention to detail in all areas was what really made Dolphin bay stand out. The staff and owner was super friendly and competent. I would recommend this to everyone! Cheers and many thanks from Johanna and Victor :)

Great place, great staff, great food, great snorkelling, great walks with the Great dogs, some great diving but you don't get any say about what dives you do which I think is unfair. It's like going to a restaurant , being shown the menu but then not having any choice.

nice and quiet place, best for couples
nice staff, everything well arranged, but the food was too expensive and the diving far away from what I expected, so that I did just 2 dives.

Paradise and eco friendly
We loved this place! It is very simple but very nicely done. The staff gives phenomenal service and are so friendly and nice I felt like I had gained friendships with each of them. The food is awesome. The tents and rooms are clean and comfortable. I love the solar lighting in the "room." I love the cheap tent option (even though we were upgraded!)and the well maintained natural setting. It feels like being far away from everything but with as many amenities as possible. The beach is right in front of the property and the snorkeling is good even right off the beach but the diving and snorkeling 10-20 minutes by boat on Rainbow Reef is amazing. Roland and Viola have offered travelers a great way to visit their awesome piece of paradise with very little impact on the environment.
