Clean, comfortable room with a lovely staff. I was a little surprised that the bungalows didn’t have a private bathroom though. I would have expected this at the rate that was charged. I was also surprised that there was no shampoo in the shared bathroom and hair dryers were not in the room or bathroom. I was able to get a hair dryer from the staff but some of these items weren’t really highlighted in Expedia’s description. Expedia also didn’t mention the meal plan. The food was very good but expensive. Overall my stay was good but the description on Expedia was missing some details and I wouldn’t classify this as a 5 star resort.

A picture perfect slice of heaven. Water was crystal clear and excellent snorkelling immediately in front of the resort. Bure was tidy and comfortable. No aircon which wasn’t an issue at the time that we stayed as the weather was lovely and not too hot. The staff were amazing, could not be more helpful and hospitable in every way. Kids club was small but my 8 yr old had the best time due to the wonderful staff. Food was good with a decent amount of variety. Would highly recommend and intend to be back again.

Beach bar was under constraction during our stay, daily from 8:00 am to 5 pm. Restaurant, pool, beach areas were all involved with construction noise. The worst thing is: We got no information about this before check-in. There was only a short sorry for this.

Absolutely amazing beach and location! Stayed for 5 night in points villa #3, what a lovely accommodation! Resort property is charming and well maintained. We did not have any issues and concerns, even it was a bit a construction close to a restaurant and second bar was closed, that did not bother us it all. Great dining options, dinner is a like a cruise ship style with chef's specials and all dishes are well presented. All staff is extremely friendly. Special thanks to all service stuff for keeping our villa spotless, main Chef who was making sure we had a great lobster dinner (ordered separately) experience and guys from dive shop who provided a seamless boat tender transportation and snorkeling trips (I definitely recommend night snorkeling). I will absolutely recommend Octopus resort to my family and friends!

The Octopus Resort far exceeded our expectations. The resort staff are wonderful! I had the most memorable birthday on the beach. The kava ceremony was fun and entertaining. Snorkeling with my 6 year old right off the beach was incredible. The hike to the top of the island was insanely beautiful and a fun challenge. Netball might be my new favorite sport. The food was very good. A lot more variety than we expected. The visit to the village and school was incredibly special. The children were so friendly and sweet. What a magical life it must be to grow up in such a beautiful place. We are so happy that we chose to stay there. Vinaka Vinaka Vinaka!

Bra resort med riktig bra frukost

vi bodde i bungalow på ca 25 kvm. Vi fick egen bungalow, men hade köket och disk nära som kunde höras tidig morgon. Matsal hade sand på golvet som stack ut och gav känsla. Man kan ”reservera” egna bord vilket jag tycker man skall göra. Frukost var mycket bra, fräscht och många olika alternativ. Ägg gjordes på stående beställning. Olika aktiviter. Pool och bar. Öl 10 FJD, milkshake 12 FJD. Wi-fi fungerade dåligt men gratis. Man fick sitta utanför reception för bästa täckning.sanden på stranden extremt fin och skön. Korallrev har tyvärr dött men färgglada fiskar och såg liten stingrocka.

Awesome Octopus

Was a great trip a way, would definitely recommend. The house reef was awesome for snorkelling, the diving was great, and a shark dive just around the corner. Our room was great, even though the evenings were a bit hard as there was no air con, we knew that, but didn’t realise how uncomfortable it was actually going to be. Food was yum, and plenty of activities for everyone. All in all, a great place!!!
