"Bula Spirt was nowhere to be seen. Owner clearly is sucking the place dry and not a cent spent on up keep. Food was really basic, trouble with over croweded boats and staff are very unhappy. Do yourself a favour and avoid. Very unpleasant stay, such a shame"

"Great resort and excellent staff! Room clean and tidied up regularly. We had a beach view room near the pool which I’d recommend. The over water suites are gorgeous but quiet. Walk to restaurant, bars, and pool. Save your money for the great excursions!"
"Amazing place to experience “island vibes”.
Great people, excellent location.
Snorkelling, kayaking, sunsets, pool, bar, beach - all great!
Some construction going on as of May 2026 until about Nov 2026. Might want to check with staff to try to stay further away.
Food is fairly basic, but good and sufficient.
Excellent stay for a few nights, highly recommend!"
"Overall we had a great stay at Plantation. Heaps to do for the kids and kids club is super handy so you can do things without the kids. One super disappointing thing that happened on our morning of checking out though. They say to leave your luggage outside your room and they will collect to take to the ferry dock. Our ferry was leaving at 11am so we left our luggage outside, went to breakfast and then went to wait for the ferry. As we saw them loading the luggage on we couldn’t help but to think we couldn’t see ours, after awhile I thought maybe I should go check outside our room just incase, sure enough our luggage was still sitting outside. I had to call my partner to run, leave our kids at the dock, and us two had to run with four suitcases over grass and dirt only just making it to the ferry on time. I was furious. While on the ferry a lady next to us got a phone call saying her luggage was still left on the island and I believe she was going to miss her flight because of this. A super disappointing thing to happen at the end of a good trip, so just a warning for other travellers to check your luggage or take it to the ferry yourself. "
"The staff is awesome at Musket Cove. We spent 3 days here after a long trip in Australia and it was a great way to relax and enjoy the Fijian warmth before we headed back to the US."
"Place, it's great if you are looking for a peaceful, relaxing time, and if you are ok with booking activities offered by the resort on the island. Otherwise, you will have to pay for transportation every time a boat is needed, and you will have to coordinate with other boats and jump from one to the other in the water, which could be fun, scary, or impossible for others. Just be aware. Plus, of course, you will have to pay both sides to do that for you. And there is a schedule: if your activities end too late after 6pm, you will have to book a place on the mainland to stay, and good luck getting a taxi if you don't book in advance!
Best sunrise I have ever seen! Tho! Also, be aware of the food that is limited to what they offer."
"Beautiful resort at a beautiful location. Friendly staff and excellent food. The only slight criticism is that being able to access our bill prior to checkout would have been helpful."
"We had an excellent time at Tropica! We stayed in a Beach Bure and it was absolutely wonderful. Right on the beach and separated by jungle from the other Beach Bures, it felt like we had our own slice of heaven. The outdoor shower was a nice touch.
The food at Tropica was excellent. Breakfast was included and absolutely wonderful. Ask for the blended iced coffee! So yummy. We also enjoyed trying their amazing list of cocktails. Dinner was really special. One night my husband got a 1.2 kg lobster that he states is the best lobster he has ever had! It was beautifully presented. One of the team also plays the guitar and sings some nights and it’s very special.
The property has just been going through some recent upgrades and while they have a few more things to do, they have already done a lot which we benefited from. There is a bit of construction but it didn’t have an impact on our experience.
By far the staff are what make this a truly special place. They very quickly learned our names and what we liked. They go well out of their way to make sure you are happy and taken care of. By the end they felt like family.
This was our first experience with Fiji and we would go back in a heart beat!
Thank you to Tropica for making our first time to Fiji so special."
