Caqalai Island Romantic Vacations

Sadly the reality of this resort was not quite what was promised when booking. Major plumbing issues causing bad smells and water off or limited pressure for over 2 days of our stay. While we thought there were 2-3 dining options there was only 1 restaurant and 1 menu. Also limited places to take a decent walk and communication overall was poor. We were unaware of significant renovations occurring on the resort and felt that there was not enough acknowledgement of the impact this had on a hard saved for holiday. Would definitely not go back and would not recommend

For the self contained couple who want a positive adjunct to their life, this was perfect. The staff are 10/10.

We had an incredible stay at Vatu Vonu. The accommodation was beautiful and the view exceeded our expectations. Seni and Waqa, along with their daughter JJ, went above and beyond to take care of us. From their warm welcome to the delicious meals they prepared, we felt so well looked after throughout our stay. Their kindness and genuine care made our experience unforgettable. Highly recommend!

Bula! Saphire was a beautiful place to bring together a family group, but could benefit from a couple of simple changes. It’s a stunning location at the top of the hill, and perfect if you like a bit more solitude/happy to travel to do things. The pool is beautiful but on the cold/refreshing side because it’s in the shade. The house is huge, so could easily host a crowd. It’s reasonably set up for cooking but simple things like dishwashing liquid are missing. Lots of pretty run down/needs fixing but if you are relaxed about that for the price you are paying than that’ll suit. The bedrooms are also huge, they could do with some basic decor (like a piece of art) and definately lamps because they are super bright/like hospital rooms. All the staff we met were very lovely, inc the Jo who looked after the pool.. Ravi the driver is such a nice guy/easy to communicate with and always timely. We found the main house manager/contact lovely but not great at responding both before and during the visit, which made things a bit tricky. Hope this is helpful for others :)

It was amazing, the best trip I’ve been on. The hotel was outstanding and beautiful.

Great visit. Will be back!,

Convenient location near the beach, basic sufficient facilities. Only downside was we booked room for 4 people, sofa bed was not made until we contacted reception. Staff were helpful and quick to action things. Downstairs restaurant service and meal were a bit on the slow end in taking order and bring out food/drinks.

Excellent staff
