Funky Fish Beach & Surf Resort

“It was great!”

The staff arranged an extra early breakfast each day so we could hit the waves first thing. The spot is perfect for surfing, and I’d definitely return. The portions were a bit small; grab snacks in your room if you’re surfing a lot. The food was good, especially the fish curry.

“An absolute scam and not worth your money at ALL.”

Mira was the only bright spot of the trip—she really stood out. I strongly advise people to reconsider booking here. Our stay was one of the worst we’ve ever had, and the resort looks nothing like the ads. It’s in disrepair, offers almost nothing to do, and the advertised massages, snorkel and paddleboard rentals were missing. There’s no indoor space, so when the weather turned cold and rainy, it was miserable. No activities or entertainment were provided by the staff. We had to repeatedly ask for extra blankets and remind staff before getting them. The manager was extremely rude and unprofessional; his poor organization made guests worry about missing ferries. When we mentioned being late, he stomped his feet, yelled at us, and told us to “find our own way off the island” even though there is no other exit. Unexpected fees piled up: $45 per person each way for the boat transfer and $20 per person per day for “energy costs,” neither of which was disclosed at booking. The weather was beyond the resort’s control, but the bad management, lack of facilities, hidden costs, and guest mistreatment made this a horrible experience. Read the Google reviews before booking—I wish we had.

The staff (except the manager) were friendly and treated us with great kindness. The manager’s behavior was deplorable—arrogant, prepotent, and barely willing to help. If you’re not paying a lot, you’ll be charged an extra 50FJD per person each way to take you to South Sea Cruises. If you eat a lot, you might go hungry. The food is amazing, but the portions can be tight. If you’re looking for a place to relax on the beach, this isn’t it; it’s more for surfers because the area is windy and the beach isn’t suitable for swimming.

“It isn't a resort, just a basic accommodation for surfers with no activities for ordinary travellers”

The staff, aside from the manager, were genuinely kind and helpful, and breakfast was good. The website listed many activities that weren’t available, so if you’re not a surfer, I wouldn’t choose this place. The tide was receding, leaving tens of meters of mud exposed. There were no menu options. We disliked the manager’s attitude; he seemed to focus only on money instead of guests’ needs. At the end of our stay, he even added $20 per person for fuel costs related to the island.

The staff were friendly. The location feels isolated and there’s not a lot to do. Dinner food was limited in quantity and felt very budgeted, not enough.
