The tented beachfront Queen Bure 18 was a magical beautiful comfortable place to stay with the sound of the ocean and the wind in the palm trees. Our trip was Oct 16-20 2024 and we had ideal weather and perfect conditions for snorkeling except for one afternoon when it rained heavily for 3 hours and it was damp in the Bure that day. I would probably avoid the rainy season November to March. The snorkeling was spectacular right from the beach except for the boat channel sections. There is often a free guided snorkel which is highly recommended. The most beautiful section is between manta beach and sunrise beach, far out from shore just before the drop off into deeper water. The sea was calm and visibility was excellent. If it’s not too windy you can snorkel from sunset beach at high tide, go out to the drop off, then snorkel to the right, snorkel past manta beach, then to sunrise beach where you can exit via the boat channel, this takes about 45 minutes. Huge variety of coral and fish, amazingly beautiful. You can also scuba dive. We heard and read that Barefoot Manta Resort has the best snorkeling in all of Fiji and it seems true. Look at the underwater photos at barefootmantaresort.com; it really does look like that, incredibly healthy beautiful reef. Four marine biologists work at this resort and build the reef by planting more coral. Many sections are sheltered from the wind due to the bays and the channel between the islands, allowing the coral to thrive. We were fortunate to snorkel with the Manta Rays on one of our 5 mornings here. The rest of the time and the previous 2 weeks they were not there. The best time to reliably see the mantas is apparently June-July. The staff are super friendly and fun and they all seem to sing in addition to their regular jobs. The food and entertainment were great. The hike up to the viewpoints was great. The free wifi in the lobby and dining area worked well most of the time.

The quiet at this hotel is amazing. There are only a few bures, it's very private and peaceful, and we loved the calm atmosphere. At the same time, the staff is super warm and friendly, and they really make you feel at home. The hotel offers activities every morning and afternoon—like snorkeling and a village tour—and we enjoyed all of them. The food and the facilities were great, and our bure right on the beach was everything we hoped for. Our only regret is that we didn’t book more nights!

The location is absolutely spectacular. The lodge is right on the beachfront on a beautiful bay with a sizeable coral reef in short distance from the shore. There are lots of activities and trips to choose from each day (some paid and some free) and all of the staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, we were made to feel right at home. The food was excellent, all freshly made and prepared with local ingredients. We would love to come back when we can. Vinaka vakalevu! 😊🙏🙌

Wonderful stay, incredible reef - must be one of the best snorkelling/diving experiences we’ve ever had. Expect to see +++fish, vivid coral and occasional reef sharks/turtles/octopus. Super welcoming staff, nothing was too much hassle. Plenty of activities on offer, you can’t miss the Mantaray snorkel if visiting at the right time of year. Would be a shame to miss out on this resort if you are visiting the Yasawa!

The Fijian staff were amazing! So welcoming and friendly. The incredible surroundings were unforgettable. The activities which included private beach picnics went beyond expectations. Truly a vacation that would be hard to find elsewhere. A must do!

We stayed at Taven Homestay. The family is super lovely and we spend Happy New Year there. We visited the village and got in touch with some of the familys friends. It was a very special experience. Big thank you to the family!
