Absolutely stunning views, professional staff hospitality, food was amazing and the fact that rooms didn’t have TV’s was brilliant. Peace and quiet. Definitely recommend to anyone that simply wants to escape the busyness of life. You will not regret a moment. Magical indeed.

I was quite disappointed with my recent experience at Mana. Many staff members seemed disengaged, reflecting in their lack of enthusiasm. Several guests I interacted with echoed similar sentiments. Regrettably, the property's condition appears to be deteriorating, and the snorkeling experience did not meet expectations. Having visited Mana on three occasions, it's evident that standards have notably declined. Compared to other Mananuca island resorts I've visited, this was the least satisfactory. The resort facilities are in subpar condition, suggesting a lack of maintenance or renovations by the owners. I would recommend exploring options like Mololo, Treasure, or Plantation for a more rewarding experience within a similar budget.

The food quality in general was very dissapointing and poor despite being incredibly expensive with very limited food options, only 2 main restaurants in stead of 5 as promised

Needs a huge amount of renovations and a lot more effort in cleaning. Very expensive for the quality, everying (washing, water excursions) all very very expensive. None of the restaurants other than the buffet were open, meaning the meal package was very limited.

An average resort but can be turned a exclusive and exotic resort. Main concern is the fly infestation during the day. I cannot see any control in place in the restaurant, bar or the pool area. I have been to many resorts but did not encounter this much flies. Staff were friendly and I was impressed with the function held for the returnees. There is a need for staff to pay extra attention during Buffets in replenishing plates, glass and cutleries on time. I had to remind staff about 4 occasions. Rooms were nice and every amenities were working well. I liked the laid back village setting. Gardens needs improvement as it seems that not much effort is being done to improve this. Will consider coming back in 2025.

First off, we read the reviews so we knew the hotel was going to be run-down and need some TLC. This was true, so keep that in mind. But also, you are not paying $2,000/night so keep your expectations in check! Our ocean-view suite was perfect for travelling with our 2 teenagers, as they had their own space downstairs, and we had our own space upstairs. The unit is VERY large and had excellent views of the ocean. At first, I was disappointed that we were on the South side of the island (where the pier is) as the pool is on the other side (it's a 5min walk, not that big of a deal). HOWEVER, we quickly realized that the snorkelling on the south was WAY better than the North, as there was next to no waves. The coral was amazing, and it was easy to get in/out right from your suite. The little bar there is great too, as we could get cold beer while we relaxed on the beach. This resort is cashless, so all charges (and I mean ALL including the little market store) are added to your room to pay at the end. This suited us very well. We did not opt for the meal plan, and I'm glad. We skipped meals due to jet lag and being out in the heat all day. Breakfast was excellent, lunch and dinner were okay - not great. However the fly's while you eat were horrible, and for one meal we got so fed up, we ended up taking our plates to our room to finish. The staff requested to have the restaurant sprayed, and the next day it was somewhat better. I would recommend, but know what you are getting.

Staff trying very hard however you can’t turn a pigs ear into a silk purse. Rooms very basic and lacking in maintenance as is the whole resort. Food was ok but there are not multiple restaurants as advertised- it is one restaurant with several different menus. It appears to be run down and poorly managed.

We absolutely loved our week at Mana Island. Having never been to Fiji before, we had dreamt of beautiful white sand, sparkling clear water and incredible snorkelling just off the beach, and that was exactly what we got! That said, we arrived with realistic expectations post-covid, as we assumed that hotel maintenance would have suffered. We were really impressed to see all the work going on quietly in the background to develop new paths and features, none of which impacted the peacefulness of our holiday. Mana has the fantastic advantage of being a narrow island with lovely beaches on both the northern and southern sides, so you can always escape the prevailing weather. Even in the ‘off’ season, we swam for hours every day, and the snorkelling was brilliant. The southern beach was particularly sheltered and clear, and the variety of fish just a few metres off shore was stunning - captivating! The resort staff were - without exception - amazing! They were all so happy, friendly and helpful, and we loved them all. The meals were excellent (Do make sure you try the Kura menu and visit the range of restaurants, as it’s easy just to stay in the main restaurant). Our family loved the games room (pool table and table tennis) and all the water sports: snorkelling and kayaking are free and paddle-boarding very affordable. We also really enjoyed our massages and facials at the Spa. We will always remember this fabulous holiday, and would definitely return.

I think this property has a lot of potential. Unfortunately, many facilities were very old and broken including the rooms. For example the kitchen area behind the buffet was all broken and held up by wooden planks. I had seen a lot of things and was disappointed. I think a lot of these things can be updated and made safer for staff. The resort does not look like its photos online. Understand with covid this may of impacted updating the resort but by now i would have thought with the amount of people staying there and the cost we pay it would be good to look into this. The communication of front desk and concierge with customers was difficult to get what was required. Our villa was very clean but again very old. The outside of the villas are all worn down. I hope one day this resort gets a revamp and more staff put on to serve customers as it truly is on a beautiful island that deserves a visit from tourists!

Can not rate any worse
The service at this resort was unacceptable. Whenever I needed assistance, I was met with rude and unhelpful staff (of course unless you tip them upfront). The rooms were not up to standard and were in dire need of maintenance. Cracked floor, broken couches, non-operational lockers, no coffee table, leaking roof, broken windows….the list just goes on. The lack of basic amenities such as water and TV was also extremely disappointing. The food at this resort was also a major letdown. It was poorly prepared and lacked consistency. You can order 2 serves of same dish and they both will look and taste different. I was extremely disappointed with the dining experience at this resort. To make matters worse, my money was stolen from my room during my stay. When I reported this to the resort, they took no action and did not even investigate the matter. This lack of concern for the safety and well-being of their guests is completely unacceptable. In conclusion, my experience at this resort was extremely disappointing. From the poor service and subpar rooms to the lack of amenities and pathetic food, this resort did not meet my expectations in any way. To top it all off, the resort's management showed a complete lack of concern when my money was stolen from my room. Stay away, your hard-earned money can do lot better, don’t waste on this resort. I would not recommend this resort to anyone based on my experience.

The place was nice but the loss of personal property was not acceptable. We were thinking all the staff were friendly, but unfortunately we could not find my son’s sunglasses after the room was cleaned. We actually bumped into the housekeeper when back to our room. And thought she was nice even leave us a big bottle of shampoo. But later on when we realised that the sunglasses were missing then we can sense that she felt guilty of taking our sunglasses. After reporting to the management we were told it was the second time in a couple of days time. Another customer lost her duty free purchases in her room. So be careful with your personal belongings when in Fiji. The place was nice but this unpleasant experience has ruined our holiday!

The first night room was horrible! Way too dirty and everything from last century! I understand because Mana island was the last RE-opened island in Fiji after Covid so the place is definitely needed renovations or repairs/maintenance! They’ve moved us to honeymoon suite the second day and it’s a big place but still out dated everything. Not enough lighting and some of them are broken! Facilities aren’t open fully yet like the chapel or some pool. Staffs are nice and helpful! The best thing I love here is their air conditioner! The dry mode dries everything!! The jet ski tour to sandbank was awesome! So is the handling fish tour! You can catch fish and take to their restaurant, chef cooks for you! This was the most delicious dish I’ve had in Fiji! Chef Raj is awesome!! Cool your own fish only charge $35 FJD up to 5kg! Many different kinds of fish you can catch, we chose the rock fish and snapper! Steamed with chef sauce! Absolutely recommend handling fish tour and cook your own fish! Family friendly place. **Watch out for huge bats flying around.

Where do I start. The rooms are so dated and disgusting it’s not funny. We have visited Mana 3 times before and geeze it has gone down hill since 2008. The maintenance on our 2 storey suite was beyond shocking with mould in bathrooms, furniture dirty, dodgy repairs in the room with holes and patch work everywhere and the level of cleanliness was a -10 as hair and sand grit on the floor. The cleaners are not provided with a vacuum and they use traditional brooms made out of coconut frond strands. This island needs a major refit compared to what it was like on our last visit. Staff are lovely and the beaches are great. The Overseas’s owners really need to look at this aspect of the resort and Improve the state of the resort if they want repeat guests. The itemised billing has no prices on anything and they just put whatever on it. We got told $12 fjd for a drink and on check out it was $18 fjd. The prices on the receipts are so different to what you are told. I didn’t get anywhere with the staff and just ended up paying it as they came up with every excuse for it. I would not recommend this island to anyone expecting a clean and presentable room.

Liked having access to two different shores. Bures were nice. However, no hot water and freezer in fridge didn’t work. Pricing for food and activities were too expensive! The Beach restaurant menu at $150FDwas overpriced. Lobster was dry and overcooked. $250FD for a snorkel trip was ridiculous. Mana should subsidize boat trip to get to their resort! $157FD one way is unacceptable. Fiji tourism needs to change that.
