The island itself is gorgeous, but very small. The staff are lovely, and the rooms are adequate, but clean. The food that people seem to rave about was not visible during my stay at the end of February. One lunch was a plate with chopped lettuce on one side and grated carrots on the other. Feeding a pescatarian was no... More

How to write a review of Navini? Perhaps I can start by saying it is the only vacation I have ever been on where I actually started to tear up as I left - and I'm a pretty hardened, cynical guy. My wife and I have been on numerous vacations all over the world, and travel extensively on business (in... More

We spent 7 nights at Navini. The staff was very kind, the bures roomy, un air-conditioned & private with their own beach & shady porch, & the food was adequate. We were surprised by all the raves though. This is a very small island. It takes about 7 minutes to walk around the island & the walking is rough. Snorkeling... More

As soon as we left Navini, we understood why so many people from around the world decide to come back. In fact, I can't wait for our return to Navini Island Resort! The staff at Navini was SUPER friendly and really made our stay memorable. The island itself is small, very personal, and surrounded by soft white sand and cool... More

Well, we came back for a second time, and everything was as wonderful if not more so. We were met at the beach by Julie, who recognized us immediately, showed us to our lovely bure and made sure we were comfortable. The bures are large and inviting, with plenty of light to read at night, comfortable large leather chairs to... More

We have just returned from Fiji, after staying 6 nights at the magnificent Castaway Island and one night at Navini. We had booked Navini for 5 nights but after our arrival we soon realised this place was not for us, and left the very next day. There was no super warm Fijian welcome from the 40 staff of Navini as... More

We regret that you did not enjoy your stay on Navini. However, one of Fiji’s advantages is that it has such a wide variety of mainstream resorts as well as others that offer something different, so guests are sure to be able to find one that is to their liking. We would just like to comment on a few statements... More

My boyfriend and I spent the most relaxing 6 days on Navini in Oct. the weather was in the 30s, water temp perfect for diving and generally doing what ever water sports you wanted. Navini staff were super friendly, welcoming and lovely. A perfect location to relax, unwind and do nothing! No TVs, wifi or Internet unless you want to... More

We were originally booked to stay at Navini Island in April 2012 for my husband's birthday but the cyclone that devestated Fiji at that time postponed our holiday until November. Our 7 nights at Navini was just perfect. The weather was delightful except for a couple of windy days, but then you just move to the other side of the... More

I'm not a very experienced snorkeller, eg. I dont dive with my snorkel, so I prefer not very deep locations, where you can see stuff from the surface of the water. In this sense Navini is not bad during high tide - so if you are like me - check your dates to make sure high tide is around the... More

We are glad that overall, you enjoyed your stay and snorkelling experiences on Navini. The island we took you to on the snorkelling trip was Honeymoon Island, which does have some spectacular corals. All of our Two Room bures are on the north side of Navini, and we did have a problem with a batch of mattresses, however these were... More
