I have been fortunate enough to travel the world for over 20 years, but I have never experienced a welcome as warm and genuine as the one I received here. From the moment we arrived, the entire team made us feel like family. Every person was so kind, attentive, and always ready to help—not in a pushy way, but with a quiet, thoughtful presence that made us feel truly at home. There was no pressure to buy anything or do anything we didn’t want to; they were simply there for us, whenever we needed them. What truly stood out was the sense of connection and authenticity. It wasn’t just about being guests in a resort—it was about becoming part of a community. We spent hours chatting, laughing, and learning about each other’s cultures. Everything felt natural, and we became more than just visitors—we became friends. Our kids felt completely embraced by the local people. They roamed freely around the resort, playing and interacting with the community, which gave us the true Fijian experience we were hoping for. The genuine warmth and acceptance we felt here are something we will cherish forever. I have to mention the unforgettable moment when they sang us a goodbye song. It was the first time in my life I almost cried when leaving a place, not because of the departure itself, but because of the beautiful people who had made our stay so special. You could tell that their kindness was not just part of their job, but a reflection of who they truly are. They made us feel so valued, never once making us feel like we were asking for too much. My dear Fijian friends, you truly exceeded all our expectations. We would come back in a heartbeat if we didn’t live so far away. But as they say, “never say never.” My son, Filip, already said that when he grows up, he will bring his family back to this paradise. Thank you again for giving us 5 unforgettable days. We miss you already. Ema, Filip, Tomaz & Petra

We loved everything about the Oarsman’s Bay lodge. The delicious food, the comfortable accommodation, the beautiful water right at your doorstep and the staff is world class. We visited numerous resorts in the Yasawa Island chain and by FAR Oarsman’s out-performed all others by a mile and in every category. It’s a magical place and we cannot wait to return to once again enjoy this amazing slice of paradise.

A little piece of paradise! Paul, Liti and the team made us feel like „home away from home“. The facilities are new, comfy and the garden is beautiful! The staff is friendly, knows you by name and is taking good care - a highlight: you even get coconuts for free all day long :) They offer a lot of different activities (both free of charge and charged): we went snorkeling, visited a local village, prepared our own coconut ice cream & played volleyball. The meal plan is worth the price: you can choose between many different meals for breakfast, lunch as well as dinner and the portions are big. You can drink as much coffee and tea as you like.

We did a long tour of all islands in the Yasawas, and Paradise Cove is on a short list of the very best. Of course, as it is a higher end resort, expectations were also high, but the place met them easily. The property is located on a beautiful island where the beach and water entry / water level is just perfect, regardless of high tide / low tide. One thing they don't say and they should advertise is the amazing coral reef they have just steps in the water. This was easily comparable with things we saw on boat trips. So definetlly a very big plus. Then the restaurants, they have two, and we loved them both . Magic breakfasts at the main restaurant in the gentle sun light or romantic dinners at Donu . Unforgetable memories . The team has some of the best people we met in Fiji and we felt very welcomed. Special greetings to Nebz , hope you get the message, the first steps with Scuba were very helpful, thank you.

The resort is very nice. Even in the little Lodges they have installed an AC. The staff is very nice and helpful and the property is very nice. The two pools are good to relax if you want a bar next to you ;) Both restaurants are very good and we enjoyed our stay.

The staff we nice and helpful. The place is clean. Has beauteful shore with many beds. Many atractions, most of them are complimentry. The food is amazing, so tasty and there is always enough.

The facilities and services were excellent. The friendly staff.

That it was real, un-glossy insight into Fiji village life today.

The room was very well kept, the most comfortable place we stayed during our Yasawa island trip! Lots of activities to choose from and the food provided was delicious. The host family were so nice and even took us to Sunday Church service with them - truly an amazing experience. Thank you very much to the lovely family for providing us with an amazing stay.

I think this is just one of the best places I ve been. Hospitality, location and new clean rooms. Thanks for this great memory
