The location is great and the fact that it is a family who owns it makes that it is super nice to stay there. They are very friendly and sincerely smiling. The room is correct, clean and with mosquitoes nest. They switch off the electricity at 10pm so you are guaranteed to sleep well! I liked that it was not... More

Nabua lodge is a well laid out resort with hammocks dotted around, green grass, volleyball area..very nice. The beach is fairly narrow when the tide is in but beautiful. The snorkeling of the beach isn't great so you need to go further out into the sea on one of their trips in order to see more. The bure we got... More

This was our first stop in the Yasawas and of the 4 places we stayed at, this was the one we liked best. It is also one of the cheapest resorts. Sure, the bures are a bit worn and the bathroom are not enough for all the people staying. But its a really cute place with plenty of hammocks for... More

This was the first stop in my Yasawa Islands adventure, reccomended by the tour desk at the airport. Upon first arriving all the new guests were sat down at the dining tables for a nice lunch and had a chance to get to know each other. The staff also explained the meal and events schedules to us and gave some... More

We stayed there for five nights, while the average is 1-2. Our first feeling was bad - we didn't buy bula pass but booked the hotel independently and they didn't have free bure in the standard we booked! So the first two nights we spent in bure with shared facilities (bathroom and toilet outside shared with four other bures) and... More

I stayed here two nights and had a very relaxing time. The second you step on the island you feel the peace and your rhythm slows down. Arriving early afternoon, lunch was on the table for us, on the open terrace, under the coconut trees overlooking the bay. I stayed in a private bure, which had a double bed, a... More

PROS: Awesome staff!! Nice little clean bures (no AC - but there is a fan and a mosquito net) but our bathroom needed a serious upgrade. Great location and setup. Good food (esp compared to other islands). Wifi available for $10 a half hour (only place that had wifi for us). Mini day trips from here range from $15. Nice... More

Let's say this in the first place: Nabua Lodge people is nice, and this is quite common in Fiji. But.... I think they simply never clean the bathrooms in the rooms. Never. The conditions were terrible in both the rooms we occupied, difficult to describe. The only funny thing was to look at the faces of the new couples arriving... More

We stayed at Nabua Lodge in September for 5 nights. We could not have asked for anything better. The resort is basic but its hard not to be when you are this far removed from the main island but this does not detract you from the excellent service, food and activities. The staff are incredible. Particularly Sarah, Lulu and Joe... More

I did about 10 days travelling the Yasawa Islands with Awesome Adventures. Nabua lodge was the highlight - friendly, welcoming and a great group of people. It was amongst the most basic (no hot water, electricity on for certain times) but it made it feel like real Fiji
