I’ve been here 15 years ago when it was under different ownership. So I returned to find it to be very boring & undeveloped. Price changes for food daily here, it goes up 50% depending on the crowd. The food is just okay if you’re really hungry you can eat it. I didn’t understand not getting a room key to lock your door, we were told they lost them all so we had to leave the door unlocked at all times. This place needs a facelift. The good news you would love the staff & the village next door. They will feed you if you’re hungry & personally I was starving

Crusoe’s is in a peaceful bay with a beautiful outlook of the sunset, but the service is below what we expect in Fiji. Checkin was lacklustre - we were left standing around and no one showed us to our room. When we got there it didn’t match our expectations - all beds no comfortable place to sit. We moved to a beachfront Bure which was better with a pleasant patio. Service was slow and the resort felt unloved and empty, like it had seen better times.

Really beautiful place, however, food was terribly overpriced and not so special. They say breakfast is included but in that they just include a few not-so-good-looking fruits, bread and jam. No proteins at all. Sorry but that can't be called breakfast. I needed to pay 20$ for a few eggs and some bacon. Now, the room. Not so clean, found mold in the shower and on the pillow. Ok the shower, but the pillow? I might get sick. Tiny room and if youre with kids, there's no privacy whatsoever. Nice beach, but they pollute it a lot. I saw them throwing some trash in it, really bad. Sometimes they hired a guy to cut the coconuts from the palms and I hate to say they just smashed the coconuts on the floor. Did they think about selling them for a few dollars instead of throwing them? And they're good because I asked the guy if he could give me one and it was so sweet and refreshing. So sad. The hotel is in the middle of nowhere so you're almost forced to eat there, unless you paid super expensive taxis or rented a car. Closest town is 30 minutes away with car. Even went to the capital but nothing to see at all. Really sad to see a beautiful place used badly. The only good food I ate was at the village. Fresh fish caught that evening, so good. Won't come back.

returned after 7 years, won't come back again

I've returned to Crusoes Retreat after 7 years, hoping it will be the same resort I remembered. But aparently lot has changes. Resort is quite run down. They are working on some renovations, but still lot of work ahead. We were 4 adults, they have organised an airport pickup for us, but sent a small car. It was quite uncomfortable, especially when the resort is rougly 2.5 hours drive from the Nadi airport. But what really spoiled the vacation for us were some of the resort staff. Especially the old lady serving food and taking orders. Cant recall if I ever met somebody so rude and useless. She was unpleasant and never made any order right. Quite a shame as most of the resort staff was actually quite nice. The hotel is also quite isolated and without a car, there is not a lot of options to get out. Hotel restaurant is ok, but quite pricey for what they offer. They say you come as a guest and leave as a friend, but that was definitely not our case. After this experience, I am sure I will never return again.

We really enjoyed the friendly staff, mostly locals from nearby village. The whole property was well kept and offer a variety of activities. The negatives were that in some booking places, it is listed as an adults-only property, when it actually accepts children. It wasn’t a deal breaker, but unexpected. Also, make sure you go over and keep tabs on what you order, so there will be no surprises at checkout.
