Family-friendly Hotels in Malolo Island

Spent 5 nights celebrating 2 birthdays with my sisters. But unlike the island resorts in Tahiti that provide private boats to pick up guests, we had to take a public ferry (designated time) at the terminal with many stops which took almost 2 hours to arrive (45 min if non-stop). But upon arrival, there were staff singing welcoming songs. Then one staff gave us welcome drinks and provided an overview of the resort. He then walked us to the front desk for check-in and drove us to our 3 beach-front bures. When we entered our room, the luggage was already inside. The only issue we had in our room was the air-conditioning wasn't cooling so we had to call maintenance to fix it. We had a great experience doing almost everything the resort offered: relaxing at the pool, snorkeling at the beach, kayaking, sailing, getting massages; not to mention all three meals that were included. We also did two other paid snorkeling and one scuba diving. Each one was only about 10 to 15 min boat ride. One snorkeling trip was at a small island called honeymoon island which is surrounded by coral reefs. However, we went in the morning during low tide so we had to swim around the outside edges or we would be too close to them. So I suggest going during high tide when swimming above the corals is allowed. Scuba diving experience was also great, which was offered by PADI. We started off at 9am with orientation by watching a video and hands-on training with full gears at the shore. Then met again at 2:30pm to open water and dove for 30+ minutes at 12-meter deep! Other complimentary activities during our stay: 1. Kava ceremony and tasting on Tuesday 2. Kokoda making and tasting on Thursday 3. Management cocktail and Meke performance on Friday Friday buffer dinner had lots of meats and seafoods, including sushi and sashimi! For birthday, housekeeping staff decorated the bed and restaurant staff brought in cake and sang birthday song, which was sweet! The only reason I didn’t give 5-star is because staff friendliness was inconsistent. While most staff were always friendly and greeted us “bula” every time, some staff at the restaurant were not very polite. We already made the hotel manager aware of the situation and was promised the issue would be addressed. Having said that, we have to give a special shout-out to Dimari, restaurant manager, who always carried a big smile on her face and accommodated all our requests! Thank you, Dimari, for making our stay so much more enjoyable!

Our beachfront private pool bure was amazing and the perfect place to stay for our 25th wedding anniversary. There is no wi-fi in the bungalows and the atmosphere is so peaceful and serene - not to mention the most beautiful views - even when it rained on a couple days. We kayaked out to Rock island for our own private ocean swimming excursion and also did a guided snorkling excursion which was awesome. The staff at Tropica were truly the best - so incredibly caring and thoughtful. We also booked a private dinner out on the pier for our anniversary and they put together an unbelievable vegetarian meal for us. All meals were delicious and there were plenty of tasty vegetarian options. We stayed for six nights and didn't want to leave. If you can make it on a Sunday evening to hear the Tropica choir sing, get ready for a treat! Thank you to Tropica for making our special trip even more amazing than we had expected! Vinaka Vakalevu!!

Stayed for 2 nights and felt that the house was clean. There was no hot water for showering on the first day, but there was hot water on the second day. The living environment is good, you can see the sea from the window, and the hotel has good greenery. The food was generally good. I had four main meals, one was simple, and the other three were rich and self-service, with meat and vegetables, moderately salty. Breakfast is a little simple, with juice, milk, bread slices, etc. You don't have to pay extra for the fried eggs you want. Drinking water is provided for each meal and is provided by yourself. The service attitude is also OK.
