The retreat is a little out of the way however it is amazing. The staff were so accommodating even when we arrived late. The village tour was just amazing, the place was so relaxing just want we needed
The air conditioning works well staff was amazing. Broken boards on deck faucets stripped out hard time turning off water sometimes had no running water and shower would not drain standing in two inches of water . The room needs a good deep cleaning kind of dirty. Cooks do a fine job the food service a little slow one plate at a time not everyone gets food at the same time at your table all all would come again it’s a very slow place worth the price transfer a bit pricey to goto activity in big cities drive your own car.
The staff were wonderful and the place is beautiful. The gardens are very well maintained. There are activities everyday and music in the evenings. The people living in the village next door are very friendly and the children are very nice and respectful. The spa is wonderful. The chefs are friendly and answer any questions you may have about local food.
To stay at Crusoe‘s retreat is to go back in time. I live in Hawaii and the feeling was of how it must have been at least 60 years ago. I loved the simplicity of the resort.
I brought my own mask and snorkel, but they have sets you can use for free. They also have kayaks you can use for free.
An authentic village is close by and one of my friends suggested bringing things like crayons and pencils. They were very grateful.
They will arrange excursions, but for me the highlight of staying at this authentic resort is the peace and quiet of just enjoying the view and location.
At times it feels like being on a cruise ship with daytime and evening activities and entertainment. You can participate or just chill.
Don’t expect a slick kind of resort like in a glamour magazine. Instead, you can experience the charm of a simple life (and of course, there is a bar on the property and the food was good. I had a lamb shank like I’ve never had before. It rivaled what I might have experienced at a Parisian restaurant.)
We enjoyed our stay. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. The grounds were nicely kept. Limited options for food menu but everything we ate was very good. Wifi was excellent.

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Cleanliness
The rooms were unfortunately very dirty. My parents had eight lizards in their room and they pooped on their bed. We did have an amazing time with the staff. Inoki, Mere, and Chef Fakhim were beyond kind to us and made the best drinks, had the best service, and made us feel special. Exceptional staff and service though the cleanliness was not nearly the best we’ve experienced in Fiji.
Operational staff from the village were all helpful, happy and friendly. Meals were lacking vegetables. Continental breakfast and availability to have cooked breakfast was terrific. Loved being involved in daily organised activities at retreat , including village tour.
I feel that locals and reception staff could work together moreso to provide transfers for guests to allow more options.
Overall a memorable experience with Fijian locals. Vinaka

Friendly staff and clean room. Absolutely beautiful views. The resort was very quiet when we were there which was lovely.
Very friendly and helpful staff.
Most of the staff lived in the village next door which was lovely, as we were able to to experience the village such seeing their church, village hall and some of the ladies who lived there and their Handicrafts.
Food selection was average, but the chefs was happy to cook food to order if there wasn't anything suitable on the menu.
Room was clean and tidy with air con and a lovely outdoor shower.
Location was a bit secluded but was on a beautiful beach front with another resort further along the beach.
Best place for us, such great staff and the location is unbeatable. Big thumbs up also to Minnie for fantastic boat tours, incl fishing and spearfishing, and Manassa for excellent cooking AND line fishing tutorials :)
Awesome and a very simple place to stay in. I admired the location and its quietness.

Our room was serviced daily.We had an awesome view of the ocean an surrounding areas.Abit let down on the spa pool not working and pool needing a good clean bit other than that staff were awesome and had an awesome sense of humor an we were informed about activities nightly
Staff willing to assist..Breakfast .. same same every day and anything cooked you pay for.
Room very very basic..BED , SIDE TABLE , DATED BATHROOM, NOISY FAN AND AC AND THAT IS IT.. No tv or radio and extremely weak WiFi.
The so called resort in in the middle of nowhere and unless you have a car you are at the resorts MERCY as you cannot go anywhere. What you see in their listing is NOT WHAT YOU GET...Small sandy beach head which disappeared at low tide and snorkeling??? Do not expect much .. a few small coral rocks and some tropical fish and that is it.. Because you are trapped at a resort in the middle of nowhere be prepared to pay plenty for basic lunches and dinners Fjd 45.00 for Fried rice ??. The food menu is very basic and does not change much .. and here is the clincher.. THE RESORT PROHIBITS ANYONE FROM BRINGING ANY FOOD OR DRINKS FROM OUTSIDE THE RESORT... THE PENALTY FOR THIS IS LISTED AT FJD200 PER DAY...figure that out..bad luck if you bought duty free alcohol..Plan to book day tours through there resort.. FORGET IT .. you will pay through the nose and then some..
