My wife and I took our honeymoon to Vatulele resort, and stayed in the vele vingi house. I can't say enough how great this trip was. We had a private butler who drove us to dinner in a golf cart. We had great food, learned to scuba dive, and participated in cool local culture. This truly is 5 star, I'd... More

We were the second last couple at Vatulele before it was due to close for renovations, and quite simply we had a marvelous time. Vatulele is such a wonderful place. The people, as you will always find on the islands of Fiji, are so gorgeous, welcoming and friendly, and just great to chat with and learn about their lives on... More

We have had the same experience with vatulele canceling our honeymoon accommodation with three weeks notice. We had also paid in full and are fighting to get our money back. We are getting no consistent answers and are not confident in getting our money back..

My partner and I stayed over the Christmas period of 2011. Our overall rating would be poor! Firstly, when we arrived at Nadi Airport we were not greeted by anybody. Once we did find somebody to help us - we were told that we had been booked onto an early flight without any notification. We had previously booked a day... More

We stayed at Vatulele in early December 2011. Firstly the island and the local Fijian staff were delightful. This is our first review on trip advisor and we couldn't help post our experience regarding Vatulele Resort. Our villa was large, comfortable and private...ok the towels were a little dated and stained but we understood the reasons. No amount of bleach... More
