Food, room and service excellent

In addition to a perfect location, Helene and Peter (hosts) are wonderful caring people. Sorry we didn't have time to get to know them better.

We changed our plans at the last minute and happened to come across Sau Bay on Google Maps. It looked like a great spot for a resort, so we decided to give it a try. After our stay, my girlfriend and I found it incredibly difficult to leave. We absolutely loved this place and didn’t have a single complaint. The resort itself is beautiful, and staying there was an absolute pleasure. It’s a small, intimate retreat, accommodating only about 16 guests, which made for a peaceful and personal experience. The staff were, without a doubt, the highlight of our visit. Everyone was incredibly kind and welcoming, treating us better than at any other resort we’ve been to. From the warm welcome, with them singing on the beach as we arrived, to the delicious food and drinks prepared daily, every detail was top-notch. The dive masters were also outstanding, making our experience exploring the Rainbow Reef even more unforgettable. I can’t wait to return and explore more of Sau Bay. I’ll definitely be back!

Enjoyed staying at Makaira resort. Second time staying here and definitely will visit again if I get another chance to visit Taveuni!

What an amazing hidden gem. The location and the property is wonderful. Thanks for sharing your piece of paradise with us. All communication was quick and helpful. Robert and Vinna were excellent property managers and offered assistance when we needed. The island itself is beautiful (so many butterflies and birds!). Top food recommendation is Kai Time - their food is delicious.

The Bures are private and large, beds very comfortable. The setting and grounds are beautiful, their Staff works EXTREMEMLY HARD EVERYDAY. Everyone smiled all the time and service was perfect everyday ! Food is Chef Quality Liza, the Chef was excellent with her selections everyday. The Bar was perfect and service as well. The diving is the best I have seen in the world for soft coral, the White wall was extremely impressive. All the dives sites are healthy, Lui our divemaster was excellent. Hal who runs the Dive Operation was on point everyday. Can't say enough about the whole staff. My only suggestion is for the Owners to pay their Staff more, they proved to us they definately deserve it !! I've been diving the whole World for 32 years as a Dive Master, Tavenui Dive Resort ranks up there as one of the very best !!
