I spent two weeks at the resort and fell in love with Nakia, it's family and the most delicious food ever. Robin, Jim and family made me feel at home. Very clean, comfortable, beautiful place to stay and the incredible service and food can not be beat any where. I hope to visit again soon. More

I have never written a review on Trip Advisor before, but my husband showed me the highly negative review posted by hutuandtutsi. Given the specific criticisms they list, I feel fairly sure they were guests along with our family at Nakia in December 2011 because we all remarked that this couple found nothing positive to say even after going on...

This was our second time visiting Nakia. We considered our first trip two years ago the trip of our lives, but, thanks to the perfect diving and gracious hosts, it was even better the second time. Last visit we stayed for 5 nights and visited Castaways in the Mamanuca island group. This time, as our time at Nakia was simply... More

This is the first review we have written in TripAdvisor although we always rely on the reports to make vacation decisions. After reading the "Slightly Creepy" review posted on January 24, 2012, we felt compelled to comment on some of their accusations based on our experience and observations of this couple since we were at Nakia during the majority of...

We stayed here for over a week and while the manicured lawns and local staff were absolutely lovely, we constantly felt uneasy with US owners Jim and Kelly. It would be little things that added up, like asking could we perhaps not have croutons on our daily salad please, as we were on a diet (we were on full board),... More

An undeserved and inaccurate review such as this makes it difficult to respond objectively. We are a small, family-owned-and-managed eco-resort. We take enormous pride in our business, in which we offer a relaxing experience in clean, well-furnished accommodations and great diving, with excellent meals. 96% of our guests who write reviews agree with us. We do this while maintaining a... More

We stayed at two other much pricier resorts and Nakia had the best food and service and diving! I can't say enough about this place. Robin treats you like family and has trained her staff to deliver great service and food. I originally booked because of the fact they have a huge garden to grow their own food and it... More

I'm here with a volunteer medical team. On most such trips our accommodations are typically spartan, but this? This is luxury setting without excessive amenities. Our hosts are "real" and have designed a getaway of graceful ambience, outstanding service and culinary excellence at which our team constantly marvels. As a bonus, this serenity is delivered through environmental respect with power... More

My wife and I spent 11 nights at Nakia in November. The resort and the staff are nothing short of amazing. What Robin and Jim have accomplished on Taveuni is incredible. We got to stay in 2 different bures during our stay. The first three nights were in The Forest Bure. It didn't have the view(not that it was bad)... More

My wife and I just spent 11 wonderful days at Nakia Resort. Despite a rather rainy spell of weather at the start of the wet season, we had a wonderful time. We can't say enough about Robin and Jim's efforts to make us feel at home and cater to our needs...including Robin's driving us into town to tap the ATM... More

My husband and I and our two boys aged 8 and 10 visited Nakia in October this year. We have read all the tripadvisor reviews, looked at all the photos etc but we were all still blown away by the magic of the place. We have done a lot of travelling in our time and for us Nakia is the... More
