Paid 150$fj for a private room with ensuite bathroom. What I got was a private room with a shared bathroom. No discount, upgrade perk or apology. The shared bathroom had two commodes & one shower stall. 3 out of the 5 nights I was there there was no water for showering off the salt/sweat from the day. That bathroom was only cleaned once, most of the time out of tp/no bog roll. Made the mistake of prepaying for full board. Was told I'd be eating fresh fish at every meal. Breakfast daily: 3 pieces of toast & 3 thin pancakes or crepes¿? And about a 30 to 50 grams of fresh fruit. One (1) breakfast had some kinda rough flour cake with a custard cream icing. Lunch: about 2to3 cups of cooked rice piled on your plate with a golash made from frozen peas, corn, carrots diced; cooked together with maybe an egg, instant noodles with a brown sauce. Only two lunches provided a bit of fish. Dinner was sometimes the same lovely lunch. 3 meals had fish, cassava fries & a fresh salad. My Fitbit claims my calorie burn went up 1,700-2,300 calories per day. With nutritional meals I should have been losing weight. Due to the carb overload+msg from the instant noodle mix, actually gained 6lbs. For those staying at the OTHER HOSTEL (where meals were not provided) they'd pay 30$fj for a nice dinner with lots of fresh fruit and veggies and a beer. 25$fj if no beer. Free activities: volunteer at their school or walk around. They only have one snorkel to rent. 10$fj perday. No loungers for sunbathing, no towels provided. 2 plastic chairs, two hammocks, and picnic tables make up the communal area. 6 months out of the year the island has a lots of restrictions due to the filming of the TV show survivor. David was the only staff member who seemed to understand customer service. The chef is absolutely capable of excellent meals if Noah would provide better quality food for the kitchen. I didn't appreciate Mary video taping me eating breakfast; I later threw up.

Summary: bed bugs, people sick from food, phones stolen, garbage everywhere, felt unsafe, didn't trust the staff. Beautiful beach and okay snorkelling, Saw reef sharks. Well from the summary i guess it's clear this was not our favourite place. After the first 2 days we seriously considered cancelling our whole trip because of the treatment we got. Which is a shame because all the other places was full of good trustworthy people and fun experiences. We stayed in 10 man dorm with bed bugs and bad ventilation. They burn off there rubbish just outside the window so the whole room is filed with plastic smoke. The staff seems lazy and have zero interest in giving the customers a good experience. Food was okay tho some people was sick with bad stomach when we got there. It is pretty with the beach but that's the only positive thing to say. I could go on... fiji is wonderful. Skip mana island and definitely skip mana lagoon is you have the chance.

I stayed at Mana Lagoon Backpackers Paradise for 10 days over New Year 2022/2023 and had a great time. It was simple and clean and the meals were from good to great. I was very lucky to be there for two lovos, (underground cooking) and one (free!) fire dance. In the typical Fijian custom, the staff was very friendly and sincere in helping people have a good time. The snorkeling was fun right out front, and even better via the trail to the opposite side of the island, where there was a nice quiet beach, colorful coral and countless fish, even (harmless) sharks. The optional trip to Cast Away Island was very fun. Electricity is on from 6pm to 6am. Most guests used inexpensive local sims for their phones. Helpful, honest, nice staff on a beautiful island, which can be walked around at low tide. Thanks for everything!

Okay for the price, the staff was welcoming but some guests had issues when asking for refunds when snorkel trips were cancelled by the hotel. Prices for drinks got marked up, so would recommend happy hour at the restaurant next door. Also, not quite worth the visit if you go when the island is being used to for TV show filming.

At first don't care about my nickname. Ok where to start ... - breakfast with just 2 slices of toast without anything ( at least they had margarine) - in total the meals, which are included, are bad, really small, always cold and tastes like from last week - the toilets, showers and bathrooms in general are dirty and stacked. Furthermore they have no water most of the time, u can't even wash your hands or use the toilets, the reason why the whole hostel has an unique flavor. - the manager, who introduced himself as Philippe tries from the beginning of your arrival to sell trips and stuff in a really aggressive way, he doesn't understand that people comes to this Island to relax and refresh, it seems like he just want to get cash. Further he's trying so badly to hook up every girl, which is sometimes funny, but often just childish. We went with him also to castaway ( i wanted to see this island really) and end up just lost, doing nothing and came back after spending just 1 hour there - right know I'm back from this hostel and went to the next hospital, because I'm ill and have to throw up all the time. Thank u mana lagoon

I had a Great Time on Mana Island in General Because i Met amazing People. But the Mana Lagoon Hostel was the biggest Fail. Yes Its Cheap.... But i would really recommend You to Book the other Hostel Ratu Kini for a few more Dollars. Mana lagoon was Dirty, the Food was Not good ( i became ill Because of it) and the stuff , especially One guy was rude unfriendly and Always Wanted your Money. The One guy also Tried to Hook up with any Girl there and was very very Moody. One Time he was pissed of, the other Time he was laughing. He was Very unfriendly and always Wanted to sell Trips to You. Guys! Don't Go there, i was at the Hospital Right now and the doctor gave Me Medicine. The Food made Me ill.

We are 2 students and we have booked a return boat trip to Mana Island and a night at the Mana Lagoon hostel, for a return the next day at 11:30 am. The meeting is at 9:30 am in front of the bamboo travellers hostel in Nadi. At 10:00 am, the owner of the Mana lagoon hostel and the woman who is in charge of checking the tickets tell us that the boat is on its way. First lie. They told us several times that it will arrive in 30 minutes. We finally left at 12:30 ! The worst thing is that we learned from other hostel residents that it is not a simple setback, but that the boat is late every day by several hours, up to 5 hours late. Ineligible for the price paid. We asked the owner of the hostel who was with us if it was possible to leave 2.30 pm later the next day. He said he would do his best. During the day, we talked to him again and he said we would see tomorrow. The next day, at 9:30 a.m., we are told that we have to hurry because the boat is at 10:00 a.m. So we went to see the boss who told us that he never said that the boat would leave at 2 o'clock, that he pays a lot for our return trip by boat and that he loses money because of us. He said also that we are disrespectful and that he would cancel our return boat and we would just have to make our way back to Nadi. He also insulted us in Fijian. All because we were asking to get the service we payed so much for... We finally had to take this boat and we only enjoyed an afternoon on the island. So I would advise you to maybe go through the Ratu Kini hostel, whose boats to and from the island were about right on time. You can also negotiate, we got for example the return boat trip at 140$ (normally 180$) and the room at 30$ (normally 35$ and meals compulsory at 35$). I would rather advise you to go to islands served by local ferries such as Ovalau, Vanua Levu and Taveuni. The prices are 5 times cheaper and the relationship with the locals is much more authentic. These islands are also beautiful.

Simple and nice backpacking place. A little bit rough around the edges, but staff is really nice and welcoming which compensates for the inconveniences. I enjoyed my week stay there very much by either being lazy and enjoying turquoise waters, or exploring nearby islands with my friends. Never forget this piece of paradise.

This was the last place we stayed in the wonderful fiji and the BEST so great pleople were so nice AND OMG THE FOOD SO AMAZING we went SNORKELING at the sand bank sooo nice if you did not like it dont leave a review i loved it thank you mana lagoon staff for you help have a good day❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤we wish to come back

You can enjoy “The Survivor”. It will be good place to you If you like wild life !Mana lagoon is not just accommodation.I felt it was homestay or village experience. “Cash Only” coz no electronic between 6am to 6pm “Save the water “ There is a limit water so can not use shower sometimes and never hot water. “Free activities” Village tour ,Handy craft,school visit,valley boll,Ping pong etc... *Snorkel gear $5/day *Fin $5/day They are super friendly! Enjoy drink with natives! You will see real Fijian life!

I had a great time here in 2012! Friendly people and a lot of fun.

Spent 3 days and was such a nice experience with a great and friendly staff Food was great We tried locals specialities Amazing place to stay and discover the islands around

I was there in December 2016. The island is beautiful and most of the staff are very nice. However, some of the employees steal the things you put in the supposedly safe vault. Unfortunately, since I was told at the time that on many islands you can only pay in cash, I had a bit more money with me. When I left the island, I had a few hundred dollars less in my wallet than before. Better choose another island for your vacation before you pay dearly. Nothing like that happened to me on any of the other islands.

Very basic, but perfect for a few days island get away. Only has electric between 6pm and 6am. Cash only island. Phillipe is a ladies man, but a good laugh and has a wide skill set ( fire dancing, local crafts and medicine, tour guide, events host etc). Nothing much to do on the island it's self. Go with the intention of chilling out and switching off from the world.

The Good, The Bad and the Wonderful!!! We were there for 4 nights a few weeks ago and LOVED It!!! Heres what you need to know. This is a Very Basic Backpackers Hostel. It has very few private rooms, mostly dorms. The main building is right on the water along with only two private rooms, the rest of the rooms are in the back. This is the least expensive accommodations in the Mamanucas chain that we could find and given what you pay you cannot expect a lot. So if you are the kind of person who is looking for a US style hotel with niceties like coat hangers, a mirror, bedside table etc, you may want to skip this one. However, if you want to experience TRUE FiJIAN Island life, the beautiful, friendly locals and an exceptionally interesting and constantly changing group of young world nomads, you won't be disappointed. Our family group consisted of a 60 year old married couple and a 27 year old son. All of us are typical, somewhat spoiled Americans who often stay in luxury resorts or upscale hotels, and yet we also LOVE and seek out the rare & "authentic" places in the world like little Mana Lagoon! Three meals a day are served and though the food is simple and basic, the helpings are generous. If you come here, please understand that EVERYTHING has to be brought in by boat and there may be times when something you normally take for granted, like syrup on pancakes or jam on toast just isn't available. I recommend bringing at least a gallon of water per day per person. (The island water is not good to drink) also A supply of your favorite snacks to share, Strong Sun Screen and bug repellent, and an positive attitude. Bring plenty of whatever you need to be comfortable and leave whatever you don't use with the locals or the backpackers who will be genuinely appreciative! We didn't have problems with mosquitos but the sand Flies are invisible and vicious. Bring Benadryl or the antihistamine if you get allergic rashes from bites or sun exposure. (mosquitos may also be seasonal) We did not have a problem with bed bugs but I always travel with some pump spray for the mattresses just in case. There is no hot water per se but most of the time the outside temp calls for cold showers anyway. By late afternoon you'll may be rewarded with a sun warmed shower. Bring plenty of Fijian Dollars for the bar, and boat trips to fish, dive or snorkel. There is no credit card machine or ATM or market that I know of on the island and the nearest one is a $60 boat ride away. Electricity is by generator and is only on dusk til dawn and you'll need an adaptor plug to charge your devices though there is no wi-fi which is wonderful!!! Strangers soon become friends when there faces aren't buried in their EDs . A small but well stocked first air kit is a good idea. One last note. The Village located behind the main building has very little of anything, because mainland prices are high and island wages are low. The locals are SO VERY Gracious, Friendly and Kind that I would encourage all visitors to really consider packing some small gifts which would be so appreciated. I spent $25 at a "Dollar Store" in the US and brought small sewing kits, carabiners , clothes line and clips, zip ties, nail care kits, toothbrushes, kids card games, coloring books, colored pencils & sharpeners. The Villagers were amazed and SOO grateful. Other things they really need, include literally EVERYTHING so if you have a little extra space bring what you can, but skip the plastic junk that will break easily and will became a trash problem. The only remedy for trash on the island is to burn it. Para-cord hammocks were an oft repeated special request as many of the men sleep on the beach sand for lack of a bed. I found some online for $12. but shipping prices from the US are CRAZY. Finally, just want to say THANK YOU to all of the staff, Geeten, Giovani, Vetti, Valerie, Bua, John, Felipe and all the rest whose names Im embarrassed to say i never learned to pronounce correctly.

We had bedbugs in the whole room and the only things they said is sorry. Apparently they had them before because one of the women said: „Every time she gets bed bugs...“. Never ever go there! No washing machine, no dryer, no money back. Food is good, but only vegetarian, so mostly rice or tapioka and veggies. Clean is different. Worst experience in Fiji!

Amazing spot! Can’t recommend the people & scenery. The yummiest local meals, with easy conversation & tips from the locals. Rooms were nice, right on the beach! Epic snorkelling, walking and beaches all around.

Absolutely amazing people, best place we’ve been to in fiji, everyone is very helpful and anything you need, they provide. Food is alright, doesn’t have shower water 24/7, just in the evenings. Has unlimited activities to participate in and do. Cant say enough how great all the people were. Will return in the future

My friend and i stayed in mana lagoon for 2 nights and it was the perfect introduction to the fiji islands! It was right on the beach and offered amazing activities. Jim made the stay unforgettable giving us a tour around the island, collecting coconuts to drink, preparing a cava ceremony and more!! The only problem was the heat of the rooms at night but as Irish and English travellers i think that’s on us and not them. The family are lovely and the food is delicious. Can’t say enough about this place definitely recommend!

We were staying at Tropic of Capricorn in Nadi and the receptionist recommended this place to us. Mana Lagoon is a hostel with *very* basic facilities. We paid for a private room with meals. There were bedbugs in the mattress and the bathroom is dirty. Sink tap was not working. There's no drinking water here so bring your own from the mainland. Food was pretty good. There's no power between 6am-6pm (not a big deal if you are out doing activities). There's no free WiFi either, FJD 7 for an hour. We had a tourist SIM and mobile data. The staff here are so lovely and helpful. Some of the nicest people I've ever met. Staff arrange trips and activities for guests. You can hire diving and snorkelling gear. Having meals outside with an ocean view is magical and the meals were pretty good. You can hire kayaks from a shop near by. If you are a budget traveller then this is the only place in the island that is affordable. Would recommend staying here for about two nights.

Chef Ravi's cooking is the tastiest in Mana. Went there on 3rd nite and returned every nite for next 7 days. Many fresh seafood & off-the-menu options. Dining under a thatched roof cabana at the water's edge is unbeatable for the senses.

It was a perfekt Island Trip for me the people are super Kind, it was more like a Familie, super relaxed!

The place is basic but the price and the atmosphere was awesome and the staff was super friendly

What you'd expect from a backpacker's but the staff are warm and treat you like family right away. It's simpler compared to Ratukini next door but the hospitality is tons better.

If you are travelling to Fiji.. DEFINITELY STAY HERE!!! What an amazing group of people. We stayed at Mana Lagoon for 1 week in June 2019. The staff were incredible and made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. When you arrive, ask for Moss and Joe; they are so epic! They treated us like family and we got to truely experience what culture in Fiji is like during our stay. We will definitely be back to Mana Lagoon! Much love. Xo

Very basic but lovely people looking after you.Did what it said on the tin...thumbs up.

The most beautiful part of Fiji! my entire trip turned from being ordinary and amazing! There's a local fisherman named Moses on the island. He will give you a beautiful sunset boat ride as well as take you fishing for a very very resizable price! This hostel is ran by villagers who love their land and every kind of people coming to visit. Extremely loving people!

Cons -Bed bugs, limited electricity, they ran out of water that was available for guests, rude staff that seemed desperate for anything to make a extra dollar, food was extremely basic with unsanitary preparation methods, rooms being built upon arrival for people to sleep in that evening as they over booked beds with just a cot on the sandy plywood makeshift just built room, awful smell from “ a dead rat in the wall” as told by staff NO REFUND Pros- Beautiful beach

Beautiful place with amazing staff! Is not a luxurious place but is locate in a paradise beach. Good meals and a real fijian experience. I hope to come back in the future.

Overpriced. Some personnel are friendly and helpful, some others keep asking you for money for anything you need, as if we didn't pay expensive enough rates to stay for a night. Some people were super caring and friendly, though, my 4 stars go all to them! (dive instructor, snorkelling guide, blonde woman at reception)

Phillip and everyone were truly brilliant. Phillip made sure the questions were answered and everyone knew about Fiji. He had excursions planned for those who wanted and those who wanted to stay and relax, that was fine. Every evening he had something for entertainment. I truly enjoyed the stay. They want everyone to enjoy themselves, with what they have to work with. Please take note of that, it is an island. They truly make the experience pleasant. Thank you.

Island - top Food - very basic, little and strict schedule Accommodation - stayed in a room, first one had loads of cockroaches and was super dark and noisy. We were moved after my girlfriend was crying in the morning. Second room was ok, clean. Water tap dripping generally noisy. Staff - OK If you go bring drinking water and snacks. Both available but expensive.

(Translated by Google) I went here through a travel agency in Nadi Town. As soon as I got to the accommodation, I called the travel agency and said something. Let alone not have a basic soap refrigerator He asked for ten dollars to borrow a towel. Because it was 5 nights and 6 days, I went to Ratukini next door to find out other places. Anyway, because they are Mana Islanders, they didn't even give them a room left-... So I thought to just wait and sleep Wow..badbugs and junk food ....... I felt like I was really sick... I endured 5 nights (The reason I endured is that when I cross the mountain from the hostel to the other side, a really pretty sea came out and I spent the day there every day while fishing.) Whatever you do, money, money, money... People crazy about money. The friends I went with are suffering from bedbug bites... Employees who do nothing... Fire show like a beggar I wanted to escape on the long-awaited last day I had to get off at wailoaloa beach, but the boat stopped about 100 meters in front. I said why I have to bring people to the Sea Beachcomber. Leave 100 meters and return again ... There was only real curse (one more hour..) Just don't go. Go to Mana Resort & Spa Expensive but expensive. (Original) 난디타운에 있는 여행사를 통해 이곳을 갔어요. 숙소에 도착하자마자 여행사에 전화해서 엄청 뭐라고 했죠 기본적인 비누 냉장고는 없는건 고사하고 수건 빌리는데 10달러 달라고 하더군요 저흼 5박6일이었기에 다른곳을 알아보려고 옆 라투키니로 갔는데 어차피 마나 아일랜드 사람들이기때문에 방이 남아도 주지 않더군요-... 그래서 그냥 참고 잠만 자자 생각했는데 와....badbug와 쓰레기 같은 음식들 ....... 진짜 병걸릴 것 같았습니다.. 5박을 견뎠어요 (견뎠던 이유는 숙소에서 반대편으로 산을 넘어가면 정말 예쁜 바다가 나와서 매일 그곳에서 낮을 보냈습니다.낚시도 하면서) 뭐만 하면 돈돈돈.. 돈에 미친 사람들입니다. 같이 간 친구들은 베드버그네 물려서 고생중... 아무런 대처도 안하는 직원들... 거지같은 파이어쇼 대망의 마지막날 탈출하나 싶었어요 wailoaloa 비치에서 내려야 하는데 100미터 정도 앞에서 배가 멈추더라구요 왜 그런가 했더니 더시 비치콤버로 사람을 데려다 주고 와야한다고 100미터를 남기고 다시 리턴 ... 진짜 욕밖에 안나오더라구요(1시간 더탐..) 그냥 가지마세요. 마나리조트앤스파 로 가세요 비싸도 비싼 값합니다.

Island - fantastic! Staff - very friendly and helpful Facilities - uncomfortable, not clean Food - horrible

Wonderful people, and even better beaches! We learned that mana is Fijian for magic and this island is nothing short of it. Mana Lagoon Backpackers included us three meals a day with our accommodations, which were great. Overall a great experience. If you like beautiful beaches and adventure, this is the spot to go!

Honestly, this one star is only being given because Mana island is beautiful. Amazing sunset, awesome water for swimming. The accommodation itself makes me rethink the concept itself. It is not accommodation. It is disgusting. This place is a dump, smells like a dump, I even witnessed a cockroach coming off of the tap. The "food included" is worse than the food locals eat. Flies everywhere. Staff is rude and lie to your face, all the time. The only attention you get is when you show them the money (literally). On the first night at 130am they tried to enter our room, after knocking for a while (I didn't understand they were knocking on my door because I had to get drunk to fall asleep on that disgusting bed) then I realised "our private room" was a staff room. That's why they got confused and tried to open the door! Drinks were warm and you have to pay an overpriced amount per bottle of water. There's no electricity before 6pm or after 6am and, at night, we realised how dirty our sheets and walls were. Honestly! We left there feeling so sad, they didn't even say good bye to us, we ate their food, we tried to smile and be nice thinking "this is the village life, I am just a spoiled white person" but no. They took advantage on us (we paid $140 per night) and laughed at us. I don't recommend at all!!! We made friends there with other international travellers, which made our struggle bereable.

I had bedbugs there , I couldn’t sleep a single day because the heat , and flies all the time during lunch and breakfast... I won’t recommend at all ...

Fantastic budget accommodations for the gorgeous island of mana. Dorm style beds, tasty food served by local chefs, excellent and caring staff/hosts, multiple hammocks to relax in, snorkeling excursions are a delight, short distance to mondruki/castaway island, private beaches are walkable, baby sharks are common to see in shallow areas, kayaking, paddle boarding, a local village resides right behind the location as well

(Translated by Google) a place that will never go again in a lifetime Excellent: Someone will arrange a full day of activities, including free or paid activities, three meals Lack: Only 6pm-6am power supply, no hot water, the room is not clean, let alone the toilet, meals, if you are super invincible, not picky eaters, then consider Although it is a poor tour, the budget is limited, but the quality is not worthwhile compared with the price. When it comes to the beach, if you dive and sneak, Taiwan’s Lanyu and Green Island are really much better. Here, you can Shark diving (non-captive), the beach is really beautiful, but there is only seaweed at the bottom of the water, no fish. Taiwan is really beautiful. (Original) 一輩子都不會再去的地方 優：有個人會安排一整天活動，包含免費或付費活動、包三餐 缺：只有6pm-6am供電、沒熱水、房間簡陋不乾淨，更別說廁所、餐食部分如果你是超級無敵不挑食的人再考慮 雖然說是窮遊，預算有限，但品質和價錢相比一點也不划算；說到海邊，如果你潛水、自潛，台灣蘭嶼、綠島真的好太多了，這邊特別的是能跟鯊魚潛水（非圈養），海邊的確很美，但水底只有海草，一隻魚都沒有。 台灣真的很美。

Great place. Service was okay. Not as friendly as could have been. Good food. The island was clsoed for filming a tv show so we barely got to experience the island

(Translated by Google) Very nice atmosphere right in front of a magnificent beach! Possibility to swim with masks and snorkels for hours! Very friendly staff! Only negative point can be: the meals are almost always identical. The quantities are quite satisfactory, it is even difficult to finish the plates! (Original) Ambiance très sympa juste devant une plage magnifique ! Possibilité de nager avec masques et tubas des heures ! Personnel très sympathique ! Seul point négatif peut être : les repas sont presque toujours identiques. Les quantités sont tout à fait satisfaisantes, il est même difficile de finir les assiettes !

I wouldn't even give this place 1 star. The only saving grace of staying here was that Mana Island is beautiful. Apart from that the beds were horrible, our sheets had blood stains on them, some of us didn't even get pillows, some had no sheet at all, the shower was a pipe in the wall that came off and spat water everywhere, we had only 1 key for up to 14 people and the worst part of everything was the food was inedible. Im pretty sure we had dog food for lunch. They also mislead us on the pricing of the whole thing basically forcing us in to paying for the meal deal as seperate meals were about $50 each. They also didnt have beer when we got there. Absolute disaster.

I have stayed at Mana Backpackers a few times while in Fiji and always have a fantastic experience. To see some of the negative reviews it makes me scratch my head. However people are entitled to their own opinions. I give it 5 stars not because you will be staying at a 5 star resort but because I have stayed at some grand resorts and I felt more at home at Mana! At Mana you are right on the beach, you wake up walk outside and bam your in paradise. There are very friendly local staff that are ready to help you at all times and the locals on the island are also very friendly and I always feel safe. The price is amazing for what you get, accommodation and meals included, you absolutely cannot beat that. The day trips are not very far and the staff do an exceptional job at organising them. I cannot wait for my next trip to fiji and I will defiantly be staying here again! Till next time.

Low cost accomodation. Consider this review compared with other low costs. Food not bad. Rooms clean but you can find some big spiders there sometimes and the view doesn't have to be good as some rooms have view straight to a garbage pile in the back. On the other hand the crew is nice and the area is beautiful. They also do some workshops you can attend to, like coconut ring making. To sumarize it, I would say this place has a lot to offer if you looking for low cost and only want to stay like 3 nights or less. Cheers.

(Please read ) if ur looking for a 5 star hotel don't bother coming ,go to the other side $1000 a night. If u want a home away from home then this is the place. Great place ,lovly staff , food is good. Mana island is a great spot to easily access to other islands . I was ment to stay 4 nights but stayed 11.

(Translated by Google) Preferably no star at all! If you didn't have to give one, I wouldn't give one either. Was promised: -Buffet -beautiful room -Cleanliness -private bathroom -private room Of these, only the private room applied. The food was to fill us up. Any hearty meals. Very easy and not really good. Still not filling. When asked, there was no more. The room smelled bad. One saw the mold on the ceiling. And smelled it in bed. I am sure the bed was moldy. It's very humid inside. The walls are painted very ugly and everything looks very shabby. Everything? There would only be a bed and a table. Our things still stink today because the backpack was right next to the moldy bed. Our skin was extremely itchy in the morning, which is why we think of bed bugs! The private bathroom did not exist, it was shared with at least five others and the staff. Very dirty and gross to use. Some report stolen things, others their door was broken into. One of us stood at the window in the middle of the night and said the same words over and over again, which translated "should call us to death". Creepy. It may be the cheapest in Fijis, but it's better to spend a little more money and NEVER go there! And if only to sleep and eat next door in the ratu kini restaurant. There are many more points to be mentioned, but that's enough. Please just don't go there. Cheap really means more than cheap here. (Original) Am liebsten gar keinen Stern! Wenn man keinen geben müsste, würde ich auch keinen geben. Versprochen wurde: -Buffet -schönes Zimmer -Sauberkeit -privates Bad -privates Zimmer Davon traf nur das private Zimmer zu. Das Essen war um uns zu füllen. Irgendwelche kräftigen Mahlzeiten. Sehr einfach und nicht wirklich gut. Sättigend trotzdem nicht. Auf Nachfrage, gab es nicht mehr. Das Zimmer hat übel gerochen. Den Schimmel hat man an der Decke gesehen. Und im Bett gerochen. Ich bin sicher, das Bett hat geschimmelt. Es ist sehr feucht innen. Die Wände sind sehr hässlich bemalt und es sieht alles sehr heruntergekommen aus. Alles? Da wäre ja nur ein Bett und ein Tisch. Unsere Sachen stinken heute noch, da der Rucksack direkt neben dem schimmelnden Bett stand. Unsere Haut juckte morgens extrem, weshalb wir an Bettwanzen denken! Das private Bad gab es nicht, es wurde geteilt mit mindestens fünf anderen und den Mitarbeitern. Sehr dreckig und ekelhaft, es zu benutzen. Manche berichten von geklauten Dingen, andere ihre Tür wurde aufgebrochen. Bei uns stand mitten in der Nacht einer am Fenster und sprach immer wieder die gleiche Worte die übersetzt „uns den Tod herbeirufen“ sollen. Gruselig. Es mag vielleicht das günstigste auf den Fijis sein, aber spendiere lieber etwas mehr Geld und gehe NIEMALS DORTHIN! Und wenn dann nur zum schlafen und iss nebenan im Restaurant ratu kini. Es gäbe noch viel mehr Punkte zu nennen, aber es reicht. Geh bitte einfach nicht dorthin. Billig heißt hier wirklich mehr als billig.

C'mon, this place is not really intended for tourists to stay ! It's part of a scam, and they want you to pay before you arrive and there's no refund. It's filthy, damn full of bed bugs, and the beach is unremarkable. There's a vibe of concentration camp in the air, as guests are unhappy to have ended up there. Every other comment giving 5* must be a fake one. I guess written by the staff himself. Be real. Avoid this place.

Had a wonderfull stay here at the Mana Lagoon! Philipe and the staff where amazing and friendly. I was never bored here🌺 cant wait to come back 💛

Brilliant place. Originally I had booked to stay for 3 nights and ended up staying 7. The staff are so kind and incredibly helpful and the food was delicious with plenty to go around. The beds were also comfy and really clean. Can't fault this place.

Me and my partner stayed at Mana Lagoon for four nights and had an amazing time. The staff is friendly and does everything to make you feel welcome. They arrange different activities everyday and night. All the food was amazing as well. Would highly recommend!
