Mana island review, words like “tired”, “old” and “neglected” come to mind. Was very outdated compared to what they represent themselves as, I would say the room was 3 stars at most and that’s being generous. It’s like they haven’t updated things from 10 years ago. The room had a very old bathroom and the door was difficult to close and open. The wifi is no longer free, there were no free boat rides etc. There were stray dogs everywhere, they would come and sit under your table when you eat and follow you when you walk. Even on all beaches they would be around and follow people. The only good thing was the clear ocean water and snorkelling. They were more focused on the new renovations and it seemed like there were basic/minimal activities for guests. The food was bad! Either straight out of packaged tins etc or poorly cooked. Really wasn’t worth the price we paid for it.

I do not recommend coming to Mana Island resort My husband and I traveled to Fiji and chose to stay at Mana Island resort for our honeymoon we arrived January 29th 2025 and were suppose to stay until February 5th. Upon arrival to Fiji (after our near 20 hour flight from the USA) the resort had set us up transportation to the port to be able to catch the boat to get to the island. Our tour driver offered to sell us crystal meth along with other drugs near immediately (of course we denied and were immediately uncomfortable) we will fast forward to our arrival at the resort, first thing we are told is that there are wild dogs on the island, and to not leave anything outside it would be at risk of being taken. there were signs posted everywhere that if something went missing and we couldn’t prove they took it it’s not on them. (Sketchy but okay) the wild dogs travel in a pack of at least 7 and there large dogs they jump a lot and tried to follow us into our bure and waited outside the door for us once we went inside. One of the dogs had my full hand in its mouth and scratched me on my way back from the beach. We chose a beachfront Bure with a hot tub we were placed in room 204. We could tell walking to our room the place is very run down so much construction and work being done and broken items all around. We entered our room the windows were wide open with no screens letting the bugs in. We start closing the windows and find a lizard in our room, we got the lizard out and noticed half the windows don’t shut and that there were gaping holes under the doors we could slide our hand under. The floor was disgusting dirty and so old walking on it plastic would stick to your feet from the floor boards. The hot tub was very dirty along with every towel being stained with brown and other colored marks. We went for food and a lot of the food was not good from the Buffett and due to all the windows having no screens tons of bugs would land on the food constantly. On our second day there it was raining quite heavily so we planned to relax in the Bure in the hot tub, to find out we had a leak in our ceiling around a light dripping into the hot tub I called and long story short after 4 hours of waiting for someone to come check the room and to be given a new room and many back and forth calls we were moved to room 203. We entered and again all windows wide open my husband starts closing them and we are already noticing how dirty this room is and the bugs when we see an even bigger lizard in this room than the last. We grabbed our stuff and went back to the previous room we already killed tons of bugs in and blocked up a lot of the holes with towels. After telling reception and the second lizard we have found (what’s the chance in there being lizards in both rooms they put us in (also what was the chance there wouldn’t be another in the next room) ) I spoke to management and complained about the endless issues they first offered a free dinner due to our trouble. I already had paid for meals I booked our flights home for the next day the resort did not feel safe everything was old, we went to the swim zone and there are so many animals and corals in the water it didn’t seem safe to swim. Why was the swim zone also the place people scuba dived?? Also our bure was a beachfront bure but you were told to not go into the water most o the day because it’s to dangerous to walk to the other side of the island for the swim zone. Why did I pay extra for a beach I shouldn’t use and for a hot tub that’s disgusting. The staff were very friendly but overall this was a terrible experience I would not recommend this resort to anyone traveling here we easted so much money and left on the third day because it was so bad We would have left a day sooner but we’re stuck on the island due to there only being three boats off the island a day. It was a terrible experience i dont know how this hotel has 4stars its a 2 star at best and thats only because of the natural beauty and the kind people working at the resort do not waste your money or time.
