Reviews Beqa Lagon

  I just came back from Beqa, after a full week of great diving, and a great stay! Upon arrival in Nadi, they had a bus (not fancy, but not uncomfortable... read more either) waiting for our group in the airport, and it took us about 3 hours to arrive at the Marina, to finally catch our boat to a 30 minute trip to the resort. The resort is gorgeous. The property is situated alone in the lagoon, and nearby there are two villages. They have no píer, so the transfer between the big boat to the hotel itself is by a mini boat, which wasn’t a problem at all. We felt so welcome upon arrival. I must say tho, that filling all paperwork and getting information about our stay, was a little long, and they could make improvements on that. But our group had 35 people, so that might have been the issue. We got a room with a private pool, + ocean view and that was super nice! The “little villa” is huge, the bed is super comfortable, and the bathroom have not disappointed either. The only issue is, our room (#14) needed maintenance! We had a big window/door in the shower, with a gorgeous view of the ocean, that we couldn’t enjoy, because unfortunately our “patio” was full of itens that looked like they were using for hotel improvements, and felt kinda trashy! The pressure of the shower was bad,... I just came back from Beqa, after a full week of great diving, and a great stay!

The pressure of the shower was bad, and always took forever to clean my hair. Our closet, didn’t have any drawers or shelves, being just a big piece of wood (beautiful wood tho), impossible to storage clothes inside, except with hangers. But, I loved to just hang in my private patio, to relax, or to enjoy the view and the little pool.
Food was very delicious! But one complaint, is the way it’s handle. They give you a paper every night so you can choose your breakfast / lunch and dinner options. But there isn’t many options, and you can’t combo. They won’t give two itens as well. You choose only one option and that’s it! Kinda frustrating! The breakfast “buffet” is very poor. Only bread, butter, jelly, fruit, 2 types of cereal, coffee, juice, tea and water. They give you a choice to order something hot from the kitchen, and that was great tho! The fruit, which is grown in the island, is just amazing! The papaya and the pineapple were my favorites.
I don’t drink, so I can’t comment on the alcohol.
All the employees are great people. Everyone is always trying their best to make you feel home. They know you by name after the first day, and that’s so incredible nice. They offered some tours, and I did two. I loved to be able to visit the villages, to be able to learn about the way they live and meet the Fijians. The activities during the day and during the evening was great also, and I had so much fun watching the torch lighting, the fire walkers, the Polynesian dance, the Kava making, etc, which it was a great way to learn about their culture!
We spend a week diving, and I must say their dive team is amazing! The diving sites were great, nice easy diving, full of things to see. And the shark dive? OMG! I was so afraid of doing, and they made me feel so comfortable. The way they handle is so safe, and it was incredible! Literally, the highlight of the trip.
Beqa, thanks so much for an amazing week in paradise. I can’t speak for everyone in the group, but Tim and I, had a blast. More

Very grateful to have experienced such care from the activities team, Freddie, Saula and Taii were brilliant. Dive instructor Del made diving an amazing experience for our daughters, the food was to die for from the kitchen team, and the resort is very effectively and efficiently run. Meri and Filo, thank you for the warm welcome home. We will absolutely be back, and missing you already.

Filo the amazing guest manager warmly welcomed us then gave us a briefing about how things run - recommend paying attention to what is respectful clothing for the local staff working in the restaurant. I loved that the staff are nearly entirely locals and a friendlier or more hard working crowd you’d be lucky to meet. Our Bure was sparkling clean and beautiful. I did struggle to manage the hot water in the shower but I think that was mostly user error by me. The food was healthy and delicious. Good amount and variety of food on offer each day which you order your choices the evening prior. We wrote our breakfast choice on the back of our slip so our food was ready and we could go get ready to dive (alternating pancakes & French toast was on offer but not listed on the menu - just ask). They catered for vegetarian and gluten free. Cultural activities were super interesting and genuine experiences. I walked to the waterfall with the guides which was really fun and the pouring rain on the walk back...

The diving was incredible! The Dive Shop crew were professional and organised. They ran on time the whole week and when a few very small things went astray they very quickly rearranged things so we were not affected. They were happy to support the free activities for those keen on shore dives on home reef. Smart money was on buying a prepaid package so your dives are all preplanned and your names are by on the dive lists with a good mix of sites dependant on the conditions. Double dives are run every morning.
The shark dive was excellent and there were a large number of staff running the safety side (on our shark dive day was one staff member per customer). Huge shark numbers which included lemon sharks, reefs, nurses, bulls and unfortunately on our day the tigers were shy. They have set up a rocky wall so divers can kneel behind it and place staff strategically around. It was incredible and when a few got a bit close the boys gently pushed them away. We felt extremely safe although it was very exciting!
The dive crew were so lovely and helpful, dives were all double boat dives and they even changed all the gear over to fresh cylinders for us - they would anything at all to help. DMs taking the tours were very knowledgeable and found so many tiny and interesting animals. I
found it nice not to have to navigate myself but a couple of divers hired a personal guide for a very reasonable price and really got the royal treatment. If you’re a bit nervous or have had a longish break then let them know and consider a one on one guide - Nix, Livvo, Dix and the crew will have you covered. The clownfish/anemone carpet on the top of our last dive on a coral pinnacle ended in what was undeniably the most awesome 5m safety stop in my life.
Beqa - beautiful location, lovely resort, delicious food, unbelievable diving and amazingly
friendly people. More

  The resort, rooms, food, staff, social and cultural activities were awesome. The shark dive alone was worth the stay on Beqa Island, and the resort staff couldn't have been friendlier... read more and more attentive. The shark dive was an exceptional experience and felt extremely safe, despite the presence of several species of sharks, including several tiger sharks. Other than that, however, the diving experience was sub-par. The dive staff could use some improvement (we felt rushed to go into the water, equipment was not always set up correctly, etc) and the dive sites were not in the best condition. Although the latter is not the diving team's fault, it made for a less than interesting diving experience. I would strongly recommend Beqa for the shark dive, but then move to the northern tip of Viti Levu for truly outstanding dive sites with healthy and diverse coral reefs. More

  Beautiful place. Friendly staff. So many great outdoor activities to do. Great food. Safe. Overall, I had a great experience and would be booking my next stay there very soon!... read more

I stayed at the resort for two nights. The rooms were just perfect for me and within my budget. Its definitely worth the trip from Suva!

The most amazing thing about this place was the staff. I cannot express enough how welcome I felt. The staff made me feel like family and like I was home. A special thank you to Filo, the guest relations manager. Beqa Lagoon Resort is my favouite place and I will be coming back many, many times.

  So peaceful and relaxing..Beautiful private bungalows with your own plunge pool/spa. Awesome gardens.

A great place to get away from the hustle and bustle and reasonably priced.
Definitely a thumbs up for this place for both couples and families with little kids.

  The island is beautiful, lush green trees and landscape as far as the eye can see, very friendly local staff and the beach front bure has views of sea and... read more surrounding islands that is breathtaking. The bure is modern with a pool, outdoor furniture and two very comfortable cosy beds. What is really surprising is how delicious the food is and how affordable the meals are per day. There is a set menu for the day. You choose your meals for the rest of your day at breakfast, so efficient, when you sit down for lunch and dinner, the food arrives, no long waiting periods.

There are no roads so you don't miss the sound of traffic. There is a free hike to a waterfall and if there is alot rain, you can take a dip in the cool refreshing water. There is also an opportunity to see sharks at a shark watching activity. There is an opportunity to kayak, snorkel, paddling board if you don't go out for a dive.

My family enjoyed the our stay and want to go back More
