Delicious Dining Experience

“The food at Octopus Resort was absolutely fantastic! I thoroughly enjoyed the A La Carte menu, which felt almost like fine dining. The curries were exquisite, and each meal was well-prepared with generous portions. Breakfast was varied with many options to choose from, all served with a smile. It made every dining experience truly good.” view full review

Very nice Beachfront Bure

“Staying in the Beachfront Bure was worth every penny! With a king-size bed and its own reserved lounge chairs right on the beach, it was the perfect setting for relaxation. The open-air shower was a highlight, as I got to enjoy showering surrounded by nature. The mix of modern comfort with traditional Fijian style really made my stay special.” view full review

Octopus Resort truly felt like paradise with its pristine location, beautiful beach, and attentive staff. Families will appreciate the spacious beachfront villas and numerous activities for children. However, while we had a memorable experience, the dining options did not quite meet our expectations, and there were minor issues with the management that could impact guests' comfort.

My experience at the resort was nothing short of magical! From the warm welcome song by the staff to the delightful birthday surprise, every moment felt special. While the service was generally attentive, the dining could be more varied, and the room setup wasn't what I expected. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay and would love to return.

My stay at Octopus Resort was a mix of highs and lows. The beachfront location was stunning, and snorkeling right out front was a highlight. However, the dining experience left much to be desired, especially given the price of the meal plan. The management's absence during critical times and lack of communication was concerning. I found it hard to relax with the food variety and overall service not meeting expectations.
