Nukubati Private Island, Great Sea Reef

We spent nine nights in a Honeymoon Bure on Nukubati in February 2020 and were the only guests during our entire stay. We snorkeled, hiked, kayaked, star-gazed, relaxed and ate. We loved our private sand-bar picnic and the snorkeling was wonderful. The food was always fresh and delicious. I cannot say enough about all the Nukubati crew who treated us like family. Everyone was friendly, helpful, informative and truely made our vacation even more special. A big thank you to all!

This hotel is not fit for purpose in the Fiji summer. We paid nearly £3k for a premier room which was unbearably hot day and night. We ran 4 fans in the room 24/7 and they were old noisy fans. We were always covered in sweat. This hotel has no A/C. We could not even cool off by swimming for much of the day because when the tide is out it’s not possible. There is no pool. I am sad to write this because the staff are lovely and certain events were great, the village church service was a joy and The Great Sea Reef amazing, but non of these things compensated for the discomfort in our room. A few minor annoyances, no hot water on 2 mornings ( human error), a mosquito trap area between the bedroom and the bathroom, terrible internet and then only by the office, the bathroom fan stopped working for the last 24 hours making the bathroom an oven and finally the only fish was ‘Spanish Mackerel’ and this became boring. This resort is in a superb remote and natural location and I accept that is a challenge but it should not be sold as a luxury resort and charged as such because it is not. We moved on to Savasi island resort which I will review later, but for a very similar cost the comparison is ridiculous.

Small family owned and operated resort. Very genuine Fiji islands experience, which is to say friendly, laid back and focused on the guests. Premium food featuring locally grown and caught ingredients. You won’t find better fish dishes anywhere. Ask to snorkel the Channel Island site.

I met up with friends for 5 days of fishing at Nukubati. The smile never left my face from the moment I arrived. Absolutely wonderful staff, fishing locations that were breathtakingly beautiful, pristine coral reefs, excellent guiding, delicious meals. Vinaka Gordon and Gloria and all your lovely staff. If I could give you more than 5 stars on Trip Advisor I would.

This place is perfect for a couple looking to relax!! Excellent food, accommodation and facilities. Great happy staff who will do anything to make sure your day is memorable. I had my birthday celebrations here and they did me a cake and all sung!! Fishing was great I caught a 10kg Spanish Mackerel and I knew nothing about fishing!! About to go diving now. The resort looks after the local community as well - very important!!
