Maui Palms

Great location. Lovely rooms and brilliant staff

Quiet and beautiful.

Absolutely incredible stay! The entire staff especially Norman, Felix, Aqu and the ladies were outstanding. Drinks cold, only ate once at resort during our stay (we had rental car) however the surf & turf was cooked perfectly. Resort vibe was great as we all were in chill mode. Very mature guests. Beach front snorkeling and kayaking was great. Evening walks were fun, many daily free activities and a local hangout called Craig’s palace and the thirsty Italian within a 8min walk. Will stay again!!!

We have just wrapped up 6 wonderful days at Maui Palms in one of their villas. Despite a initial payment hiccup and difficultly communicating with staff prior to our arrival, honestly, once we got off the plane and were greeted by our transfer driver and then arrived at the resort itself there is little that could have been done to improve our stay. The accommodation was very spacious, clean, and private. The bed was comfortable, and the the sliding doors were equipped with reflective/tinted glass which added privacy and blocked some of the heat. The food was good and priced in line with that in the area/resorts - we benefitted from a free airport transfer from Nadi ($350+ FJD value, according to our driver) and daily breakfast, provided with our booking due to the duration and booking direct through the Maui Palms website. The staff were flexible with meals, and even adapted a few for us. There were also no room service fee, and you could easily request food/drinks be delivered to your room, by the pool etc. There are a few other restaurants in walking distance, including a small convenience store which sold the necessities (notably, alcohol and chocolate). An absolute highlight was the welcoming, friendly, and attentive staff. Notably, each day they hosted a number of guided activities - a reef walk, snorkeling, a hike, kayaking, and coconut demo/cultural experience. Each of these lasted between 1-2 hours, and was *free*. The staff who took us on these experiences (Felix and Aku) went out of their way to engage and accommodate those available, and made our trip memorable. Outside of these experiences, you are free to request access to the gear available (e.g., if you want to kayak first thing in morning, for example). Aku was even kind enough to facilitate our own kava session, for our final night. We don't typically visit places twice, but we already miss our time at Maui Palms. Vinaka vaka levu!

Maui Palms was by far the best accommodation and experience on our two week vacation to Fiji. The rooms are large, well appointed and have clean facilities and plenty of hot water. Neal and Chris make fine hosts and helped us at the end of a long travel day, with a late dinner on our deck. The pool is lovely and overlooks the coral lagoon, which is very accessible for snorkelling, kayaking or swimming. The rocky nature of the water line means that coral shoes, or scuba booties are a must. The daily tour with Felix and Akqa is very good and we did it most days. Apart from eating here, we enjoyed the Chill and Grill across the road, and got supplies from the supermarket. Each night we played pool, before retiring to our very soft and comfortable bed. Maui Bay is a little way from everywhere and transfers are needed. We saw other people hire cars, and this would have been a worthwhile option.
