I didn’t like anything about this property. The road driving in was full of pot holes (gravel road), the villa was dirty, ripped curtains, no tv, no WiFi, the walls were bare and the paint was pealing. Cockroaches were present along with lizards and huge spiders throughout the villa. There were cows and horses roaming the property, so there was also cow and horse poop all over the property and the so called beach area. We truely regret staying here and even tried to get out of our rental but they wouldn’t give us a refund for the unused time. The pictures on their website have not been updated and do not look like anything that is there now. Hopefully if anyone is looking to book this property they read this post first and change their minds.

This property is primarily targeted for the "local" market. The room, though clean, did not have an information folder, the only phone between the beds was disconnected with no wall socket visible to connect to, the large glass window was found with large cracks. Shower and hand basins would flood and took a long time to drain.

Nice enough hotel let down by WiFi
WiFi has been complained about for 6 months in comments and was still not working. Ended up paying for mobile sims as some of us had meetings to do. Simply put, they shouldn’t be able to advertise wifi. Beach has a reef/rock pools in front and so we ended up not swimming there. Road leading to the property is potholed and not great on car tires. Food choices in restaurant were pricy and not great value when compared to nearby Olive Tree. Property was however clean, worn but reasonably maintained. It’s a good place if you are exploring and we used it in that way.

Amazing from every point of view : clean,great food and beverage at very reasonable prices. Of course the beautiful indigenous Fijian people and culture was unforgettable. Pool and beach were a stand out. I cannot put in to words how remarkable Yadua Bay Resort is. I’ll be back for a much longer stay very soon. Thanks

quiet piece of heaven
If you are after a quiet resort on the beach, just to kick back and read a book, or lounge at the poolside then this is the place for you. We snorkelled only 20m out from the beach shore and could see all kinds of tropical sea creatures in the coral. the water in the bay is clear and dense with coral and tropical fish, star fish etc. - it gets shallow enough for kids only up to adult calf height when tide out - and above waistline when tide in to snorkell/swim. This resort offers friendly and safe family holidaying in Fiji about 1 hour 10 minutes from Nadi airport. The resort employs locals from the village and our daughter was treated to taste some village experiences which she loved. Beautiful views from restaurant. 10 min from main town Sigatoka, 2 min from olive tree supermarket and restaurant, and fuel station- we had great food/drink there, 15 min from sand dunes and 20 min from Kula wildlife park. Gecko resort about 10 min away offer cultural fire dancing 3 nights per week - we visited the restaurant there one night and only paid for dinner - fire dance was complementary. we had a deluxe room on ground floor which was equivalent to an aussie motel room with kettle and bar fridge - our room had ocean views and balcony is nice place to chill. food and drink available from restaurant. Best to hire a car just because you can just up and go whenever you need - a big thanks to all the folks at Yandau Bay Resort for a relaxing and safe and friendly holiday - lovely people!!!!

We rented the villa for 3 nights.There was no wi-fi, you are expected to bring your own. There is tv but no service and if u don’t have Wi-Fi you are out of luck. The slides were closed, and the beach had water snakes sun bathing. Rooms were made but toiletries weren’t replenished. Beds had sheet with no comforter or blanket, there were no irons and there was no way to contact front desk despite the landline. There was no washer to wash clothes.

Ok for a night or two
Nice large room with balcony. Huge menu in the restaurant but quite expensive. No complimentary water in the room, you have to buy Fiji water from the bar. No snorkeling equipment available. Littered beach belongs to the resort which could be cleaned up by the resort. Tiles missing off pool. Nice pool, clean. Dirty and torn sunbeds that need replacing. No activities. Expensive taxi to town with tourist price, not locals price. I am not able to add photos for some reason.

While booking online it stated rooms came with cooking utensils, mini fridge, microwave and other items but was not in the room. Even the microwave was not included in the room when it did state while booking online. Bedsheets were dirty. Didn’t even get ocean view rooms. Less staffs onsite for restaurant service. The day of check in the computer system was down. While waiting in line for checking one person just cut off line and went ahead to check in but staffs at reception didn’t say anything. Not so warm in welcoming. During check out they were counting pool towels as if I am taking towels home with me. I booked 3rooms for two nights but experience was terrible. I would not want to go back and would not recommend it to anyone either.

We stayed at this property just one night, even though we had paid for five! There were NO umbrellas, and absolutely NO shade at all by the pool. You can't spend any time outside, at a location like this, in Fiji, with no shade!!! Poor selection of food/ drinks (only one restaurant on-site, and even though the menu was long, half of the items on it were NOT available).

Great place to unwind
Hotel is relatively new so conditions of furniture and rooms are in very good shape. The villa we stayed was very spacious with kitchenette area for cooking. Excellent views of the ocean and great sunsets. Rural setting so a good place to unwind to get away from the hustle and bustle of life. Good restaurant onsite but had a bit of wait to get our food, food was good, go with local cuisine rather than burgers and pizzas. Great infinity pool, beach not really great for swimming but you can swim in a particular spot which the workers will point out. Otherwise, just sitting on the beach and watching the sunset is a great way to end the day!

good for star watching
Starry Sky is so nice. I can see beautiful galaxy and southern cross. The hotel is in a ranch, so it's full of cows. There is a sugar cane railroad beside the pool, which is also a living road for locals, and horses sometimes come and go. There is not much sense of luxury, but it has a very peaceful and nice atmosphere. And the starry sky was beautiful.

The location of Yadua Bay Resort was ideal for us as it was only a few minutes from. the village of our Fijian friends. The beach was beautiful; unspoilt, clean and the waters deliciously warm. The hotel was only recently built so the gardens are still in the process of landscaping but are starting to look good.
