“A home away from home”

Reviewed 13 June 2013 NEW via mobile

I stayed at Makaira resort a couple months back and I could not have been more pleased. I went out snorkeling with the owner, Roberta, and she is definitely a pleasure to spend time with. I had dinner in the beautiful little restaurant with John serving me, and the food was just to die for! What I thought was the... More

Makaira resort is very welcoming. The views are amazing and the staff incredibly friendly which all makes for a wonderful stay. Also the best Kayak fishing I have ever experienced.The reefs are within paddling distance of the beach and Captain John can also take you out to the further reefs on the big boat if required.

Thank you so much for your lovely review. All I know for sure is you are one heck of a Kayak fisherman. You really had quite the adventure and the fish thank you for releasing them whenever possible. The fishing Kayaks await for your next adventure. More

“Relax and unwind!”

Reviewed 21 March 2013

We have been to Makaira quite a few times, so this review is long overdue. As others have said, the ambience there is very unique and suited to those who want to unwind from the drama and bustle of everyday life. The bures are well spaced apart to give one the sense of privacy. I for one do not like... More

Im Fijian and having lived in Fiji all my life & then having lived in Rio for the last 5yrs I make sure that all my trips home are really special. Having spent a few years in Taveuni as a child, out of the 300+ islands in Fiji, Taveuni holds a special place in my heart & I always make... More

Thank you so much for your kind words. We also enjoyed you both very much. Sometimes when we have locals who come back to visit Taveuni it puts a different slant on things because we don't have the first time magic of Taveuni adding to the ambience. But clearly you have not lost the love and magic of Taveuni. It... More

“We loved it!!”

My wife and I decided to head to Fiji for our honeymoon in October. We were looking for something just a little bit quieter than the commercial hubs of island paradises, so settled on Taveuni as our destination for the first week (after plenty of research and asking friends). Makaira appealed to us because it looked beautiful and had great... More

This was my second stay at Makaira Resort on Taveuni Island, Fiji. I enjoyed my 2 week stay last year so much that I added another week this year! And once again, it still wasn't enough time even though some people might wonder how I could stay at the same place for 3 weeks? My answer to that would have... More

Reviewed 19 October 2012

When my husband and I decided on Fiji for our vacation, we dreamed of clear, blue water, swaying palms and lush scenery, but we were doubtful that any place could match the legendary tales of the South Pacific. Not only did Taveuni live up to those expectations, we had the best trip we’ve ever had because of Makaira. It is... More

Just had six nights at Makaira and loved it. The first thing that strikes you is the idyllic location, with views to die for and a spectacular reef on your doorstep on Fiji's most beautiful island. But even this pales into insignificance when you meet the wonderful owners, Roberta and John and their amazing staff, Baba, Ron and Lena the... More

“Wow. Just wow.”

Reviewed 19 May 2012

Makaira isn't plush, but it has everything you need, and as soon as you fall into "island mode" you'll think it's perfect. The absolute best thing about Makaira is its location. The views are stunning, you're isolated enough to feel like you're enjoying your own private view of paradise, some of the finest snorkeling in the world (no exaggeration) is... More
