More kids than we thought on this side in the pool, which was a surprise because of plantation island being next door and more family friendly. There was no rain water tap to fill your water bottle which is a waste to use plastic bottles once. Jonah who organizes the surf trips was not very friendly or helpful
Other than that, the resort is really nice and quiet in the rooms, they are very accommodating on the pick up and transfer to Nadi and it was seamless.

I emailed twice before our trip to confirm they could cater for me being a celiac and Pescatarian, they assured me they could on both occasions.
I had no option for cereal the entire stay, they occasionally had gf bread and occasionally had gf pizza bases available.
There was really very little for me to eat and the options, well let’s not call them options because that would give the impression I had choices, which I didn’t really. We also had a late check out of 11.30, I think purely as I’d complained about the food situation that this was to Placate me somewhat.
Our last day with the 11.30 late check out our only day of sun so we headed to the pool, at just before 11 we headed back to the room to get ready for our boat transfer only to discover housekeeping remaking the room and had removed all the towels etc so we couldn’t take showers or in fact even get changed. I did tell them we had a late check out to which they said they didn’t know about, so we ended up doing our boat transfer and arrive at our new hotel in our bathing suits, not the most comfortable of days.
The service was hit and miss, Traders was the best, they at least tried to accommodate my food allergies, although once came rushing out after I had started eating my meal to whisk it away saying it wasn’t gf after all and then replacing it (after the rest of my party had finished their meals) with something I hadn’t ordered and was in fact so overcooked it was Inedible, but they tried.

4.0
Great location for sunset photos and that's about it. The property is tired and needs lots of work. Many parts of the property require minor to major repairs and maintenance. Quiet adults swimming pool has been out of order and offline for years. The swim up bar in the main pool has been all but abandoned. Most of the staff were lovely, special mention to Cliff at reception, Adelaide, Oscar, and Job in hospitality. Food was just okay but nothing special; Dicks Place for average buffet food, Trader Café limited menu style meals. Highly recommend the Spicey Prawn pizza. Coffee was ordinary at both outlets. They do have a small supermarket type shop in the main reception building. The "island bar" was a great spot for afternoon sunset drinks before dinner each day. Activities were good; free daily snorkelling trip to the nearby sandbar reef was easy and fun, highly recommend the island hop trip FJ$85/pp for deep snorkel at Honeymoon Island then onto Castaway Island Resort for a look around. Also the Fijian night on Saturday night was a wonderful cultural experience. In summary I can still only give the overall experience a 2 star considering the AU$600/day we paid for a lagoon room and all meals included. I also feel that the owners investment in a large Riviera Motor Yacht is misplaced considering the difference that kind of investment would make to the resort. Not having a crack, just keeping things real people. Hope this helps inform your holiday decision.

Great resort.
We had a minor ant problem in our bathroom. We were careful not to eat food anywhere in the room & they kept to themselves, doing their ant things.

Really enjoyed our stay at Musket Cove (couple with no children). The staff were so nice and accommodating (Oscar at Dick's bar deserves a special mention). It is a beautiful place to just sit and relax. An itinerary is provided on arrival of the weeks activities that you can choose to participate in. Before arriving I was concerned if the included food would be enough for me. I did not need to worry. Buffet breakfast and dinner were amazing and the lunch options were also large and delicious. We will return.

The staff at musket cove are simply awesome. We stayed for 6 nights in the lagoon bure which was wonderful - spacious and had lovely touches.
Big shout of to the chefs here - we ate such wholesome food with fresh salads from the garden. Heaps of food at the buffet in dicks place, and traders cafe.
We loved our stay here so much - we extended for another night!

Great location. The island bure was excellent overall, albeit a little tired in some areas. Beds excellent. Our first time to Fiji and found the overall value marginal. $190 Fijian for a return bit ride. All in all we estimated about $1500 Canadian per day for a family of four excluding flights. Water is VERY warm and the inclusion of short snorkeling excursions and use of kayaks and paddle boards was nice. $45 a day for a VERY basic bike seemed a stretch. Vast majority of staff were terrific.

Very nice welcome at the resort. Rooms/bures are very spacious and equipped. There are mosquito nets at all windows and 2 showers, one inside and another outside. Freshly baked shortbreads filled in room every morning and very nice beach with free snorkel trips every day

Musket Cove was a great allrounder.
Although it’s not adults only, it was still quiet enough and spacious.
The property was beautiful, with plenty of activities and lots of amazing walking. And the food options were great.
My only feedback would be that during busy times it can be hard to find a spot by the main pool/beach area to relax, as the Cabanas and loungers get reserved, maybe a few more of these would be good so that if you do go out and do daily activities, you can still relax and enjoy the facilities after.

My only complaint about this superb resort is the enforced disconnect from the "real world" beyond. Sometimes we do need easy contact and access to information, even while on vacation. The resort provides slow and unreliable Wi-Fi access, but only in a few common areas. There is no Wi-Fi in the rooms. We struggled with this issue, but others may not care. Just be forewarned. We didn't anticipate the issue.

We stayed at the Island Villa, and it was stunning. The room and resort was clean and the beach was beautiful. Service throughout was excellent, though we did see some ants in the room, but this cannot be avoided in Fiji.

Firstly a few of the restaurant staff were fabulous.
Arrived to find the lagoon bure we had booked was
not available and were offered an "upgrade" to a smaller and much older room , " beachside"- actually garden bure. We were not the only ones this happened to. Nobody should have to be in tears and prove their booking on arrival. Paid and booked 7 months ago. Very Unprofessional. Management need to spend money on the accommodation - the bures are very tired ,moldy bathrooms and shutters, dirty timber furniture. Food very ordinary and constantly running out of basic items. Feel very angry, and we travel a lot ,so we know 4 star when we see it, this was not even close. Cant use the words I would like, beyond disappointed will have to do.

Outstanding . Love it here. Wish we were staying longer. Our garden Bure is magical.

Everything about the resort and staff was wonderful. Our complaint would be the confusion around the airport arrival and the ferry schedules. We virtually lost our first day and arrived at the resort in the dark. Had we known more, we would have stayed overnight in Nadi and extended our trip by one day.

Best part of the resort was the high quality food. Otherwise would've been a dissapointing stay considering the price of accommodation compared to offering offerings.

The rooms were a little dated and the ants were taking over but the true gem of musket cove is the staff. I would stay here 10 times over with double the amount of ants just to have such amazing service. Do not hesitate to book here! We visited other resorts on day trips and the service never compared. They sang to my daughter on her birthday and sang to us again before our departure and both times I had tears. Musket Cove you have our hearts!
5.0
The staff were all exceptional other than the guys at the Activities Desk, though the Managers had a chat with them, and were able to arrange a well priced private boat to take us on an explore of neighboring islands and reefs without any of the usual tourist trap stops at loud floating bars. It was peaceful and wonderful!
The room, we stayed in a Beach Bure, was gorgeous, spotlessly clean, and had that traditional building style and feel that the more modern resorts of the same or similar price point lacked. We woke up every morning saying "wow! This place is lovely!" Followed by a coffee on our little porch looking out at the soft ripples of the little bay the resort sits on.
It's also quiet. The resort next door had loud parties and lots of families with kids and could be heard faintly from across the bay at times and we were grateful to be at Musket Cove Resort for so many reasons! Beauty, friendly staff, local traditional acoustic music every night after dinner, and the peacefulness.
The food was mostly good. I have celiac disease and while they could accommodate most of the time, there seems to be a LOT of confusion everywhere we went in Fiji about what Gluten Free actually is. Be VERY careful and never eat anything fried even when it says GF! They use the same deep fry oil for everything in most places we ate, including other resort hotels. But Musket Cove staff will have special order meals prepared without extra cost.
We will stay again!

The hotel was very nice and staff very friendly except for a bearded guy manning the water activity centre. First tour for which we presented ourselves 13:00 as he himself told us the day before being the time we should present ourselves for the tour, was canceled by him at that time, unless we were willing to pay extra. Had to get reception involved to go on tour without paying extra. The only other tour we reserved was one included free of charge because of my hotels.vom VIP status and for that one we had to present ourselves at 14:30 only to be notified at that time that that was canceled too. No explanation why and no alternative given. We were fed up with the guy and did not want to go into an argument so just gave up and left. We did hear him react very inpolite to a lady that was inquiring about a tour as well. I did a SCUBA diving tour which was perfect and very friendly staff, so want to stress it was only the bearded guy that was extremely unfriendly, and with the price one pays for the hotel one would expect a person behaving like that to be sacked immediately

Beautiful location with a pretty beach, snorkeling of the island tip that is amazing, very friendly staff who truly seemed happy to see us. Very comfortable stay in a beach bure with Adirondack chairs on the porch, a hammock and two chaise lounges. The meals were all included and the food was fabulous with a constantly changing menu and multiple choices each meal. The pool is very nice with private cabanas at no charge. A perfect get away!!

Wow! We really loved our vacation at Musket Cove. The setting is gorgeous. Accommodation was very comfortable (Garden Bure). The food was excellent. The service was nothing short of exceptional - so friendly. And the resort made it so easy from the airport and back. A hassle-free holiday in paradise. We will be back.
