“A week in Mana”

Some aspects of the facilities are getting tired such as the decking around the pool which has lost nails and planks are lifting. The staff are efficient and pleasant. The introduction and farewell from the island is lovely. The food has improved since I was last there 5 years ago. More of an Asian influence probably due to the number of Japanese visitors. The dive shop/backpackers down the beach is still a great place to escape the resort lifestyle once in a while. Family friendly and good value.

“Mana Family Fun”

Our family had a lovely time on Mana Island with wonderful weather. The snorkelling was fabulous but you need to get your snorkelling gear very early in the day to avoid disappointment. The Oceanfront Suite was a great size for a family of 5. The meal plan was good value and we enjoyed meals at both the Buffet and South Beach Restaurant. The kids enjoyed the daily activities and various watersports available on the island. With three beaches to choose from we were spoilt for choice. My daughter had her hair braided at the Backpackers Resort which was much cheaper than at Mana Resort - we paid $70 rather than $185 at Mana.

“2nd time there and will be back again for sure!!”

Love this hotel!!! This is the 2ns time we have stayed here and it's just perfect for families. The staff are just wonderful and always willing to help, the facilities are awesome and always clean, the food is sooo yummy it's hard not to put on weight. The kids club and babysitting service is just wondeful and it gives you the piece of mind that they will be fine with the wonderful nannies whilst you can enjoy a bit of parents time out. We were able to go for a couple of dives and just relax for a couple of hours each day. Diving is great and the dive shop team are fantastic (illy, John and Richard). Very professional team and take you to some great dive spots for all levels. Cannot rate enough the kids club and nanny service for babies. As both my kids were under 3 (2.5y & 9m) they both had a nanny each and we were given 5 free hours for each child each day. Plus it's so cheap if you wanted a night nanny service whilst you go for a date night, $5 fijian $$ per hour ($2-3 Aussie $) for in your room service (if you've exceeded your daily 5hours. As my 2.5yr was too young for kids club he was still able to join in some activities with his nanny, and my kids loved the big playground. It's awesome having the north & south beachside as if it's windy and choppy on one side you can walk to the other (5mis) and its perfectly calm and perfect for snorkeling on the other side. The 2 pools are awesome. We're planning on booking again for next year for our 3rd trip there.

“Island & Hotel was spread out and lovely,”

This island is picture perfect , the staff were friendly, our room was spacious and clean and the water just amazing, relax by the pool or do some adventure sports this resort can cater for families and couples, the day spa was great. Please for anyone travelling please keep in mind this is an island so drinks can be a little expensive and you need to get used to fijian time, nothing is really an urgency and this is what makes this place so relaxing to unwind and relax no pressure.

“Great relaxing holiday destination - be there in Sydney winter next year in a heartbeat!”

You can't go wrong by booking a family holiday at the Mana Island Resort. The moment you step foot on the island, you can't help but relax. The staff are amazing, free babysitting is a bonus and the beaches are to die for. Unwind and tune in to the island way of life...

“Great family holiday”

Mana Island was a wonderful family holiday. The Ocean villas were spacious, clean and well suited to our family of five. The food was average to good at the buffet and excellent at the restaurant. Staff were mostly polite, some warm and friendly and a few disappointingly rude. Drinks are not included in the meal package and are expensive, being a hot climate this cost added up, fridges are in rooms and I would suggest to bring some drinks from the mainland. The Spa at the resort was first class, couldn't ask for more. The resort has access to two beautiful beaches, both with great snorkeling, different aspects (southern or northern) allow you to avoid a swell or seek a cool breeze. Management need to enforce rules to protect the reef from damage caused by ignorant visitors, all should attend the activity club's reef talk.

“Stunning island”

I would highly recommend Mana Island - the beaches are beautiful, great snorkelling, good kids club & friendly staff (mostly). There are some downsides - at times the staff are too laid back, the food was average, water and drinks can be pricey. However if you bring some snacks and drinks with you it makes things much cheaper. Also, you can eat at the better South Beach restaurant on the meal plan (but need to book ahead). Overall a lovely spot.

“small, friendly island for a short holiday”

The individual cottages (bures) are spacious and comfortable. The bathroom is outdoors with a pretty pebble wall around it. A clothesline is provided. The bedside light on the wall is not bright enough or in the right position for reading in bed. There were an ironing board, iron, a hairdryer, an umbrella and a kettle with cups, tea and coffee etc. provided. The wardrobe is large and there is a safe. The airconditioner worked very well and whisper quiet. There is no table and chairs inside but outside on the porch are 2 chairs. The resort puts on various activities and show on some nights. I flew in and out and that flight can be late, so do not book a close connection from Nadi. The food was quite good considering that everything has to come from the mainland. I ate at the buffet all the time. At lunch they do not have any salads but hopefully will change that soon as I spoke to the Food & Beverage Manager about that. Snorkeling was ok off the beach on the northside. The 2pm snorkeling trip was great except the person driving the small boat did not give very clear instructions. There was a strong current pushing me away from the sandbank. Make sure you can stay near the boat.

“it was great honestly you could not be disappointed”

we booked two nights at mana not sure if we would spend our entire 5 nights n fiji there. we did end up staying another night there, so 3 nights in an island bure which are great, you dont need to spend the extra for the ocean view etc the island bures are in a great location. the island is small enough you can walk anywhere in no time. the meal buffets were really expensive 57$ for one dinner buffet. so we onlu ate breakfast buffet which was great. for dinner we wandered down to ratu kinis back packers and got great 12$ meals and cheap beer. snorkling is best off the north beach on the west point/headland.(not the beach with the jetty) it really was amazing we saw cuttlefish and all the reef fish. the mana beaches are really nice, we stayed one night on malolo and the beach was very tidal and rocky. mana was nicer be sure to hike to the lookout and to sunset beach at sunset! take time to talk to the ample staff they are great people. we saw the staff village, its a shanty town. for such a nice resort they make like 2$ an hour and dont even have doors on their employee houses, kind of disappointing. but i guess they live better than most impoverished fijians on the main land. i would definitely recommend this island and resort. you get a royal greeting and send off on the jetty. (go on the jetty at night and you see tons of fish swarming under the lights and big fish feeding)

“Mana Island”

Beautiful spot, good accommodation, full of young families with kids, taking advantage of kids club and creche. Food was disappointing. Resort and beaches great.
