Lovely resort, very helpful and friendly staff good for the price

Crusoe's Retreat is a piece of paradise. It is tucked away on the Coral Coast and was peaceful and idyllic. We stayed in the Ocean front bure which was comfortable with a great verandah to relax and chill out. It has a beautiful relationship with the village next door and we found the people to be friendly and hospitable. We missed it when we left!

There was not much we didn't like. The restaurant is pretty basic, but the meals they do they do well. It is not close to other shops or restaurants so just be aware that if you stay here, you are pretty much committed to the retreat.

Great location, very friendly staff. Clean and very comfortable rooms. Snorkelling from shore Kyaking, lovely grounds

fabulous setting right on the beach with lovely individual cabins and nice grounds. good facilities too.

pretty poor buffet dinner with terrible singing!

location, views , staffs are friendly, they have kayak, snorkel gear for free ..

fans are running too slow and we can’t sleep as it’s very hot! no air conditioning and I can say it’s 2/3 star! it’s not worth for money

We fell in love with this place from the first minute. We felt absolutely at home. Everybody was super nice and friendly. We want to say Vinaka! to each one who we met during our stay. Henry and JJ, thanks for keeping us entertained. We'll never forget our crab and frog race. Siteri and Johanna, thanks for treating us with your smiles at breakfast and dinner. Meals were delicious. Thank you to chefs. We got nice massages made by Sai. Vinaka! Sorry if we forgot some names. You guys are all amazing! We'll definitely come back and will recommend your resort to our friends. Vinaka and huge hugs to you all. Elena and Sergey

Nothing

I was admittedly sceptical about the slogan, "arrive as a guest leave as a friend" but honestly it did feel that way after only one night, the staff are so friendly. Retreat is an apt description, it's a little out of the way but very peaceful accordingly. The room was nice and the view is great. The snorkelling straight off the hotel is pretty decent and there's a sandy area to sit on. (The beach itself is available depending on the tides but the sitting area above is nice).

Some of the facilities are a little tired, the pool is not overly special, but the water makes up for that.

Comfortable bure overlooking the gardens and ocean. really friendly staff, nice little pool and I enjoyed the ocean side Takas bar/grill. Reasonable good breakfast, cereal, toast, cakes and fruit and tea, coffee and juice.

nothing, all good.

staff was terrific

lots of steps

Everything was perfect. Excellent service, nice staff, nice beach, everything was very clean, big room, big bathroom, amazing food!!!.. i am happy with this place and i would love to go back over and over again.

Nothing. Everything was perfect!

Crusoe's is in a beautiful location and is made even more special by the friendly, thoughtful staff who greet you by name and really want to make sure you have a great time. There were activities on offer every day which allowed us to get to know the natural and cultural side of Fiji - this made it extra special. Loved that the resort is right next to a local village and we were able to visit and take part in a kava ceremony - it felt so genuine. Or you can choose to just do your own thing on those days you want to do nothing at all. It is excellent value for money.

The view, the Bure was wonder and spacious, accessible to everything

there was nothing we didn’t like

so clean, so friendly, so good

nil

The view is one of the most beautiful in Fiji. Just breathtaking at sunset.

We had a rat in our room. Sadly, so did our neighbors 😕. It was only a nights stay so we didn't bother moving but it was quite obvious that the rat had been there for a while. Rat droppings everywhere. There is also an ant problem. Ants on our bed when we arrived. The cost of food and drink is quite expensive for what you get. Limited menu and the serving is quite small for the price. There isn't any other dining options nearby so you really don't have a choice but to pay and eat what they offer. Sadly, I would not stay here again and would not recommend it to friends either. A shame because the property has so much potential.

Fabulous staff, who were eager to do all they could to make our stay enjoyable. We visited during the early days after Covid lock-downs, so they're still getting on their feet and not all was open yet, but they made our stay as fun and comfortable as possible and went the extra mile to be friendly and helpful.

Second time visit for us. Crusoe's Retreat is everything it is meant to be. Arrive as a guest and leave as a friend. This is a Fijian stay of old – relaxing, calm, and great to wind-down. Staff are friendly, b’fast basic and enjoyable, dinner terrific. This is not a ‘touristy’ resort, although staff will organise daytrips and links to any main tourist activity. What you get is a real Fijian experience. If you want hustle and bustle and staff all over you to spend more money, then go somewhere else.

If you are staying for a while - best to have a hire car. Gives lots of freedom to explore. The resort is a couple kms off Queens Road and while this is great for privacy it restricts transportation a little.

Beach, jacuzzi, pool, sea view. Food was good but pricey. You can get free snorkeling gear

Hot water was hot only first day. Stairs.
