Lavena Coastal Walk

This resort is a beautiful, quiet, near perfect place to relax, if you can overlook a few short comings. We stayed in the beachfront bure with plunge pool, and I highly recommend it. The ocean is very calm, the waves crash about 100 yards onto the reef and very few waves reached the shore. There is coral and sea life everywhere. When the tide is high it is chest deep, good for swimming and kayaking, and when the tide is low, you can walk very far out and look at the sea life. The property is very well maintained and very natural with palm trees and coconuts lying every where. The staff can call you a car and it’s a short drive to nearby shopping and restaurants and the driver will wait in town until you are ready to head back. The short comings I mentioned are mostly the staff and the food. The staff means well and are very nice, but could do much better. For instance, it took three days of asking to get a tv remote. We were pretty disappointed in the food and the fact that between the waitresses and cooks, they often didn’t get our orders right. We bought some snacks in town and skipped a few meals at the restaurant. We also learned that the snacks on their menu were better than their main dishes. Having said all of this, we would definitely stay here again because we don’t let a few issues ruin a great stay. We loved that it wasn’t crowded and has no kids. It felt completely fine to sunbathe and swim at our bure with or without clothes. It’s a 90 minute ride to Nadi airprt

Second visit, staff continue to be extremely friendly and helpful. Easy reach of the beach and the pool was great for an early morning lap swim. Excellent snorkelling spot 😊. Saw two black tipped reef sharks. Good food, great curries from the chef Vikram Singh.

We enjoyed everything -friendly helpful staff and fabulous resort and villa
