My husband and I stayed at Makaira for 6 nights for our 1-year wedding anniversary. After doing the island-hopping thing in French Polynesia for our honeymoon, we chose to stay on only one island in Fiji, and we're so glad we chose to stay on Taveuni at Makaira! It's kind of like going home to visit your parents - you... more

My husband and I stayed at Makaira for part of our honeymoon and we even extended our stay to longer than we intended because we were having so much fun and such a beautiful relaxing time. The staff at Makaira is AMAZING! They are so personable and ready to help make your vacation the best possible. We had dinner (BEST... more

My husband and I loved staying at Makaira by the Sea. There are only 2 bures on the property. Both were beautiful and clean. Words can not descibe the view. You can see the sun rise and set from your porch. Roberta and John were so helpful and informative. Whatever you needed, they were quick to help you with. The... more

My wife & I spent three glorious weeks at Makaira in January 2009. We would and have recommended Makaira to friends and family. Roberta's email responses to our inquires were prompt and very informative ... no misrepresentations only truth. Not sure what some of the other reviewers experienced but the Makaira we stayed at was far far better then what... more

Our slice of heaven has a name... It’s called Makaira... Writing is said to be therapeutic so I’ll try to heal the hole in my heart that’s been there since we left Makaira.. We stayed there for a week, March 2009 and flew back to Amsterdam, Holland, just a few days ago. Never have I felt the need to write... more

We stayed at Makaira for 2 weeks over the Xmas/NY holiday period 07/08. We are seasoned travelers and avid divers who made the trek to Taveuni for the diving. We're not high maintenance folks. A good holiday is eat, sleep, dive, and maybe have a couple of relaxing drinks now and then. Also, while we don't mind paying for quality,... more

I just read through the reviews for Makaira and while some of the negative points are partially true, I think they were a bit exaggerated. I hope this review helps to sort out the truth and I will be completely honest with what I write. It is only fair to future guests and to the owners and staff at Makaira.... more

I read the two latest reviews with interest. I wrote a review of Makaira over a year ago, but it was never posted. I also expected a beachfront location, since I read their web site and saw their web site address, which says beachfront. Their resort was in disarray, as if they had just opened. However, they had been open... more

The owners' smoking ruins the experience for non-smokers. These people are cooking the guests' food WHILE smoking! I quit smoking over 15 years ago, and shouldn't have to be subjected to second-hand smoke all during my stay. Since the owners are such heavy smokers, they can't even tell how they smell, and the rest of the resort smells. In addition,... more
