The view has certainly got the wow factor, we booked 5 nights in the deluxe beach bure which was a few seconds walk to the beach. However our room was not made up upon arrival at 9pm. The outdoor shower was lovely and we slept very well, super comfortable, huge bed! We liked the outdoor bed and hammock, room service every day. The food was very delicious, although a little more could have been offered on the menu. Breakfast was included, which was basic but did the job, we loved the bananas and papaya. They could do with buying a second toaster, as big groups stay here. Our only disappointment with the food was the $60 buffet offered on our third night, with no other options on the menu, this was unexpected and expensive! Free snorkel and kayak hire, The wifi was a little patchy but okay. The staff were super friendly, putting on activities each day. It is a remote resort, we had a car and left the resort once, the road is unsealed but accessible in a Toyota corola. Perfect secluded getaway, which is exactly what we wanted, we would go back!

The Staff and village need support from the owner.
The staff are amazing and so helpful. Millie, Mika, Henry and JJ all made our stay so much better. It’s in between owners so understand no money has been spent for a while. Need to upgrade the Snorkling gear and reef shoes. The biggest disappointment was the food. I get you have little choice as you are at the resort but I found the prices and lack of variety on the menu a real disappointment. We asked for a chicken fried rice that was not on the menu and the chef obliged and was great when it came out but to come back the following night and see it as a special of the day but price went up $10 overnight is a bit rich. It’s a fairway to find dining options here and if you don’t have a hire car you are stuck.

Road in is not in good condition, seemed like a farm track. So be prepared for that, trust your nose and keep going. Resort is older and dated in places, but clean and staff very helpful and friendly. Nice to have a beach to swim in and a pool as well

This is a lovely retreat space, a bit off the beaten track. It needs a little upkeep as it is quite old now. But the Fijian staff are wonderful and as it is right next to a fijian village you get to meet many of the villagers who work at the resort. One of the highlights is the coral reef out front. Take a boat out and go snorkelling out on the breakers. You will love it. The ground are well kept and beautiful.

This is a peaceful, quiet and beautiful location, perfect for a restful break. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I received a free upgrade to a beautiful beachfront room. The bed was possibly the most comfortable I have ever slept in. Meals are modest and a little pricey as you would expect for a captive audience. Transport is difficult and I will hire a car next time. I would recommend this resort.

I hadn’t been to Fiji for 24 years so wasn’t exactly sure what to expect but I’m so glad I chose Crusoe's Retreat. Incredibly beautiful location with wonderful staff. Loved my room with its amazing view. The resort is right next door to a village so you get to interact with everyone. Fiji can be as active or as relaxing you want it to be but everything at Crusoes forces you to slow down and relax. I loved every moment. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Make sure you take some cash though in case you want to buy something in the village as it’s an hour to the nearest town with an ATM.

Very peaceful and tranquil, very old property that has been well maintained/upgraded through the years. Not many menu choices for 3 or more days. Extra cost for breakfast items not on buffet line (toast, cereal, fruit). 30 kilometers to ATM's other food/grocery. Only a hot water maker in cabin (Acceptable as there could be major bug issue with cooking/food in cabins). 3 kilometers off main road on occasional steep/blind 1-lane road. Challenging for firsttime island visitor. Staff absolutely great. A very delightful stay otherwise.

Very special place - built onto a hillside with beautiful views. We stayed in a seaside bure which was huge. There was a daybed and hammock on our deck with a lovely outlook. Bed very comfy, massive bathroom with an inside and outside shower. Simple breakfast included. We only stayed one night but it looked like there were lots of daily activities. Well maintained gardens and very friendly staff. They helped us book transport to and from the Retreat. We met a couple who have been coming here for 20 years - and we can see why. Very peaceful :)

All five of us absolutely loved the location, very beautiful. All the staff are super friendly and helpful. The kitchen department on the other hand needs a major haul. For the 2 nights spent at this resort there was not a single meal that we enjoyed. Barely made it half way through a meal. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Somehow the second night dinner was worse than the first. The chef needs to go back to school or change profession. Speaking to the manager about the quality of food didn't help in any way, no idea how to deal with the situation. Definitely first and last trip to this beautiful location.

Be careful before book.
Firstly, pick up from the road was an hour late. Then room wasn't ready when we arrived there. No towels in the room and bed sheet was dirty. No upgrade has been since we last visited 20 years ago. Toilet doors don’t have a lock. Ant and insect problem in the room. The sheets are re-used which is very old or torn. Not enough towels. With no vacancy at the venue, there was only one kayak to share and they ran out of snorkeling gears. Food per meal is quite expensive and you don’t have much choice as the nearest town is about 30 mins away. Not worth the money we spent The only positive thing is the staff have been amazing. I don’t think I will ever go back again at this venue.
