I have to be honest: the rooms have no fan or aircon and could get a little bit hot, you have to fill the tank of the toilet with a bucket and there's no light at nights. But you know what? none of that matters when you take a bath in the gorgeous beach, do the dives of your life,... more

Bula guys, thanks for the great review! We had a wonderful time having you as our guests! OK, we have broken down and each bure now has a re chargeable fan:-) ours included! Also there are 2 bure with solar lights. We do have running water but - unfortunately, still no rain, so hence the bucket toilets; so may be...

Hospitality - Feel like you are staying with friends - comfortable and easy Food that is amazing and plentiful (really as many servings as you like). Accommodation - Very Comfortable bure... more

Unbelievable escape to a eco-lodge that just wraps you in a warm blank of friendship and kindness. The staff are unbelievably friendly, the dogs and cats are pouring with affection and the owners welcome you as if your coming home. The food was not matched at any of the finer hotels throughout Fiji. Beer was ice cold and a great... more

When I sit in my office wishing I was in a tropical paradise, Dolphin Bay Divers is the place I dream about. It is not a smart resort where activities are scheduled. At Dolphin Bay you can take off your watch and wake with the sunrise to wander barefoot along the beach to enjoy breakfast. The rooms are set privately... more

We spent the last five days of our trip in Fiij at Dolphin Bay Divers Retreat. We had been staying in Savusavu, and caught a lift with a friend of the owners of Dolphin Bay through the lush and beautiful countryside to Fawn Harbor, where a boat from Dolphin Bay Divers Retreat picked us up. The supposed half hour boat... more

dolphin bay, for me, is a little piece of fiji magic... the bay has a beautiful beach front and is enclosed by a hill behind which gives the feeling of total seclusion from the rest of the world...and the climb to the top of the hill is more than worth it for the view the atmosphere created by roland and... more

Our September 2008 stay at Dolphin Bay Divers was great. The resort is located on a gorgeous stretch of beach on Vanua Levu accessed by a short boat ride from Taveuni. The property is absolutely beautiful. The owners Viola and Roland are very warm, and greet you like family. Also on the resort are many pampered dogs and cats. The... more

`The beach is very nice even if snorkeling is generally not possible. The rooms are very basic, no hot water, no electricity. I've been in September and it was very hot in the room for most of the day. For those who don't like too much animals going around, there are two dogs not really well treated, one is supposed... more

Bula lelino from Melbourne, I am sorry you feel you could not snorkel most of the time even though I do not see why. Our beach is white, the entry is flat and sandy and the reef is absolutely beautiful. We are in a bay and most of the time it is flat calm, however, if it was rough, I...

Roland and Viola were excellent hosts, and Roland is one of the best dive masters I have gone with. Easy to feel comfortable even in some pretty good rips. Housing is basic but done up really well. Really makes you feel at home - right on the beach!!! I can't wait to go back. more

I have now stayed with Viola and Roland 3 times - every time i go to Fiji I think i should try somewhere new, but i keep finding myself going back to my tropical paradise as i really can't imagine anywhere more perfect. The diving is absolutly amazing, and if you are not a diver there is superb snorkelling straight... more
