Volivoli Beach Resort

The resort has a good mix of room and villa choices. The premium villas are set up as detached bungalows with a patio, living room, kitchenette and washing machine. Villa 970 was advertised as ocean view but the trees and foliage block the view. The villas and hotel, restaurant and hotel office are stacked on the hill. There is a climb to get from the beach to the restaurant, pool and your room. 5-star staff and restaurant staff. General manager, “G”, runs her property as if her staff is family, she cares about them. They all knew our names and personal preferences. Ra Divers, the on-property dive shop, was professional, knowledgeable, accommodating and safe. Highly recommend.

I recently stayed at Voli Voli Resort in Fiji and was pleasantly surprised by the overall experience. Despite having modest expectations, I found the diving to be exceptional. The resort is well-organized, with a staff that is both friendly and efficient in handling large groups of guests, ensuring that everyone feels welcomed and cared for. One of the highlights of my stay was the diving. The underwater experience was truly beyond what I had anticipated, making it the main attraction of the resort. The staff’s professionalism and expertise made each dive enjoyable and safe, and it’s clear that they know how to deliver a memorable diving experience. However, once the diving activities were done for the day, I found that the resort offered limited options for other activities. The organized excursions provided by the resort didn’t particularly appeal to me, and I found them to be overpriced for what they offered. This left me with a bit of downtime that could have been filled with more engaging or varied activities. The dining at the resort is abundant, but it seems heavily tailored to American tastes, with a lot of bacon and rather greasy options. While the food was of good quality, I would have appreciated a more diverse menu that offered a broader range of flavors, particularly local cuisine. The resort itself is good, with excellent facilities and a beautiful setting that makes for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. Despite a few minor drawbacks, such as the limited post-dive activities and the American-centric dining options, no free WiFi and some minor maintenance issues in the room I would definitely consider returning to Voli Voli Resort for another diving adventure.

+ Great staff + Fantastic SPA + Great food + Great location to the reef. We did both, snorkeling and scuba - Dive operations were a disaster. They put 20 divers (15 passengers, 5 crew) on one small boat, it was very crammed! They have five boats. Not sure why they did not split us up. - No safety check-in after jumping from the boat into the water. I consider this a standard practice for somebody on the boat to check in with a diver who just entered the water from the boat to avoid the risk of drowning for people who forgot to turn on the tank and have no air in the BCD. - My wife is new to diving. I connected with our divemaster, who was supposed to lead our tour, to make sure that he is aware of that and also carries some extra weight in case she has problems with buoyancy. However, just because we jumped into the water, the captain informed me that our divemaster was not diving because he was not feeling well and assigned us to somebody who was already in the water. That new divemaster also did not carry extra weight, as it turned out. I learned later that our originally assigned divemaster had a hangover from drinking with a guest and was, therefore, not able to dive with us. - After the second dive, the captain did not check in with the guests before taking off. Because the boat was so crammed, a few people were on the roof. They had to hang on for dear life as the boat went at 37 knots (I checked the speed on their console) through choppy water.

Absolutely amazing resort ... stayed there with the family this year mid July and was blown away. Accommodation/Grounds: Exceptional, beautiful rooms, comfortable, clean and very well presented. Stunning grounds and views. Staff: Extremely knowledgeable and ready to help. Everyone from ground staff to management/owners were present and genuinely engaging with guests. High level of expertise demonstrated across the resort. Food: I love food and dining out, the restaurant did not disappoint. An aspect that exceeded my expectations. Diving: Can't say much more than world class. Not to be missed. General: I had high hopes at the time of booking but these were exceeded in every aspect. Can't speak highly enough of our time there and the people involved. Absolute must do. Blair Rawlins

Volivoli is the epitome of paradise! The resort is idyllic and the staff friendly, fun and only want the best for their guests! The diving is sensational and the dive operation - Ra Divers - is second to none. The amount of training and regular updating of safety procedures and knowledge ensures absolute peace of mind. The dive crew make your diving experience a lot of fun!! I cannot recommend Volivoli highly enough! We have just booked our fifth visit and plan to continue yearly trips for the foreseeable future.
