Boathouse Nanuya

Amazingly friendly staff. Very professional and pleasant. Relaxing atmosphere and beautiful views. However, we had cash stolen out of our room (another guest also had a computer stolen while we were there) and the owner had an audibly significant argument with a customer in front of over 20+ guests at lunch.

We stayed at the Boathouse - very disappointing. Enuf so we didn't stay, but upgraded at significant expense to the only other accomadations at Nanuya we were told were available. The room smelled terrible - heavy cleaning smell masking a nasty mold or sewage order; window overlooking cluttered noisy come/go storage/parking area; several of us got crawled on in bed by bugs - not bed bugs, just ones that crawled and made you itch; unattractive structure in unattractive surroundings. As others said, you have to buy into a meal plan you don't want, food is mediocre at best, and slow, and things ordered don't arrive and you need to seek credit or reimbursement which is an effort to get. Would not recommend this place.

There are 2 reasons we wanted to go all the way out to Nanuya Lailai Island for our island adventures. One was trying out the all inclusive holiday feeling, the other reason which are more important were the Saw-I-Lau Caves. Coming to Boathouse Nanuya turns out to be the best way without breaking the bank. We booked Boathouse Nanuya and we dined at Nanuya Island Resort. We have to purchase a meal plan as there are no other restaurants at the island. There are dance and singing at meal times and after dinner. There are many activities to do. Just book at Boathouse activity centre. Price is reasonable. Many activities are free of charge like renting a stand up paddling board or a canoe. We did that. Wonderful! There is a grocery mart next to activity centre, accessible to the guests villagers to purchase grocery. Nanuya Island Resort is very relaxing and it is easy to unwind. Special thanks to Vilekasa who demonstrated basket weaving and talked to us about life in Fiji, Nanuya Lailai and the surroundings. The people are friendly, hospitable and helpful.

I stayed at Boathouse with 2 of my friends and we stayed in the Dorm. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. We were allowed access to the sister resort next door to eat and use their facilities. The food was top notch and they catered well for my gluten free dietary requirements. The staff were friendly and accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. We were slightly worried after seeing some of the recent reviews of this place but honestly can’t recommend it enough it has been one of our favourite places to stay during our time in Fiji.

Lovely scenic resort with fantastic facilities in the dorms. Staff were extremely and genuinely friendly and always wanted to help. Food was lovely with a buffet and hot breakfast, 2 course lunch and 3 course dinner. Couldn’t recommend more.
