“Garden Island Taveuni”

Reviewed 13 May 2013

As part of my visit to several resorts in Fiji in April, I had the chance to stop at Garden Island in Taveuni. Not a scheduled stop but one that I wanted to see. There had been a lot of changes there and I wanted to see them first hand. Please note, I did not stay there, dive there, or... More

“Best Room on the Island”

Reviewed 21 April 2013

There may be wonderful cottages right on the ocean and beautiful expensive rooms on the island of Taveuni that make you feel tropical but if you’re looking for the most comfortable room the Garden Island cannot be beat. Beautiful King size beds with wonderful pillows all imported sheets that make you feel comfy wonderful and cozy. The room can also... More

“Fabulous time at Garden Island”

Reviewed 7 April 2013

I stayed at Garden Island over spring break and loved every moment of it. The resort itself is beautiful and spotlessly clean, the rooms are homey and comfortable, and I got to wake every morning to a beautiful ocean sunrise. The resort is right on the beach and you can easily swim or snorkel in the clear water. Garden Island's... More

“Excellent Resort for Diving and Relaxing”

Reviewed 18 December 2012

The Dive team are extremely professional, the Rainbow Reef is spectacular. The room could not have been any cleaner, every morning we had our choice of tea or coffee as we sat on our patio watching the waves, what a site. I have traveled a great deal around the world, the members of the staff are well trained and very... More

“Management does not care...”

First of all...who is CHI International? Do not be fooled they are not part of the acclaimed CHI Hotels & Resorts. This is a poorly managed family business an I have no idea how they have achieved a 4 and a half star rating on tripadvisor. Whilst Fiji is a great destination and the diving was spectacular, it was unfortunately... More

“How to go out of business by just sitting there”

Food poisoning, Poor Dive Shop (bump & smash your dive gear) & new owners that never went to "hotel school." I was there during the 2d week of October, when the owners' relatives were visiting. I can't explain the whole, awful experience in 200 words or less so: Honestly, stay-away from this place. The"new" design is straight out of an... More

“Mixed review, dive shop is below standard”

Reviewed 16 October 2012

We spent almost two weeks in Fiji, at both Garden Island (Taveuni) and Wananavu Resort(Raki Raki on Viti Levu, Bligh Waters). Diving at both locations was excellent, quality of dive operations was dramatically different with Garden Island rating poorly. We chose Garden Island on Taveuni primarily because it is the closest hotel to Rainbow Reef in the Somosomo Strait. The... More

“Stay and dive at Nakia Resort Instead”

Reviewed 11 October 2012

We were quite disappointed after reading the many positive reviews. Our main reason for visiting Fiji was to dive and relax. While Garden Island has nice rooms and beach loungers overlooking the ocean, my praise for this place stops there. In a place where fresh water is in limited supply, this resort has large soaker tubs on each patio (however,... More
