After a long trip from the U.K. to Fiji via Melbourne, we were delighted to arrive at Malolo Island, a 35 minute boat ride from the port on the main Island of Fiji. Our lovely villa had a supremely comfortable bed, a nice living area and enclosed outdoor shower. We also had a little patio overlooking a plunge pool. Our villa was a short walk up from the beach. Our visit coincided with Cyclone Sarai so we were glad that the villa was sturdily built and we had the protection of trees surrounding us. Normally there are many activities at the resort, but due to the cyclone we were mostly villa bound. The friendly and accommodating staff did all they could to keep us comfortable, well fed and calm. The meals were delicious and we all enjoyed excellent spa treatments. We were most grateful to Fiona for arranging a helicopter transfer when the boats were still unable to make the crossing. Thanks to the whole team for making our stay enjoyable despite the storm.

This beautiful resort has a potential to be great but lacks details of 5 star resort.
I would rate this place 4.25 star resort.

Pros:
-Our GEM (general experience manager) Tingi was very attentive.
-Friendly staffs overall.
-Great spa experience with professional staffs.
-Beautiful sunsets every night.
-BBQ night was my favorite dinner.
-Nice room and great cleaning service.

Cons:
-Too many flies everywhere. It’s impossible to eat food without coulple flies on your dish which is quite disturbing.
-We paid $480 for a boat transfer for 2 people which was fine but we shared a boat with their employees which made me feel like I’m in a shuttle bus and not getting 5 star hotel experience.
-They had a sushi and sashimi night and the food they provided was sub par supermarket made sushi which was really disappointing. It honestly tasted like if I made Fijian food which means chef had no idea of how sushi should taste like. Also please don’t call that cabbage thing kimchi as a Korean I cannot remotely relate the taste.
-I was relaxing by the pool and there were couple times staffs are spraying insect repellents for 30 mins which was really loud also another time staffs were mowing the lawn which was quite loud and distracting. I think they should be doing this early in the morning not middle of the day when people are trying to relax by the pool.
-It could have been great if resort was equipped with sun screen and have them available for public use since sun is really strong on this island.
-It could have been great if cold towels were available throughout the resort which I think other 5 star resorts usually provide.

We absolutely loved our short stay at Six Senses Fiji and would certainly recommend this property to others. It really is the definition of 'bare foot luxury'.

Our ocean front villa was clean, comfortable and luxurious and fitted out with everything to make a stay homely and romantic: large private plunge pool, indoor and out door showers, an outdoor oversized bathtub, double vanity, king sized four poster bed with views of the ocean, his and hers wardrobes, safe, lounge area, impressive mini bar along with wine fridge and tea and coffee making facilities (nespresso). For those who need to stay connected there is a TV and super fast wifi. No old fashioned light switches in this room - everything from lights, to blinds to air con and fan at the press of a button. Impressive.

Also impressive is the Resort's commitment (wherever possible) to locally sourced produce, much of which comes from the Resort's very own nursery, herb gardens and orchards. They even have their own chickens (Cluckingham Palace!) and Bee Hives. Breakfast was a particular highlight - the creativity of the Six Senses breakfast has set a new benchmark.

There is so much to do you'd never get bored: world class surfing, scuba diving, snorkelling all within easy access. Hiking trails, yoga, spa, gym, library and so the list would go on. We wished we could have stayed longer to sample everything on offer.

Thank you to Frans and Fiona and the rest of the team. We had a great time!
