Coralview Island Resort

Snorkeling and Activities: Proximity to top snorkeling reefs with free gear, kayaks, and guided tours. Free activities like hikes, cultural demonstrations , and sunset walks. Paid activities offered good value.

Decent option for the Yaswa islands Coralview was a decent experience for us. The staff were absolutely lovely and took great care of us. The burres were clean and spacious. There was great snorkeling just off the beach, and the option of walking over to the Savuti reef (about 1 mile walk along the beach) for additional snorkeling. There were also free kayaks available for use. So, lots to see and do here. There are however, two negatives we experienced. The one minor issue was that we didn't particularly like the meat and way it was cooked (the fish was quite good, but the red meat options were, in our opinion, not great). However, once we switched over to the vegetarian options, the food was quite tasty! Another minor food issue is that the salt shakers never worked due to the humidity - I would suggest that management switch to either using salt grinders, or just put out little cups of salt for their guests. The really big issue for us was that the coral lies in a fairly busy boat route, so we were always stressed about getting run over by a boat - and many of the boats go quite fast over this area, so we ended up not really enjoying the snorkeling. The little yellow floaties they provided us with were useless to us, since we like to do a bit of freediving when we snorkel. Definitely something to keep in mind if you're avid snorkelers like us. This is the one thing that would keep us from returning to Coralview, so we really hope they can do something about this.

We stayed at CoralView for 5 days and loved every minute of it. The staff were incredibly friends and said welcome to the family when we arrived and we felt part of it by the time we left. We had reservations about the compulsory food plan but the food far exceeded our expectations and was the best we had in the Yasawas. The quantity and quality were amazing and we at no point needed to have snacks. The team were great for the activities including but not limited to Kava, coconuts, boat trips, snorkeling and manny more. Make sure you do their cave trip as you get there before anyone else and feels very special. Only feedback we could gove was to have more hanging space inside rather than exclusively outside the bure but would recommend the stay to everyone. The vibe of the resort feels between a home stay and a resort which really suited us.
