Not Impressed
Stayed here over Christmas and unfortunately struck a rainy week. We used to stay at Plantation regularly when our kids were little and came back this time with the Grandkids. Grandkids loved it even in the rain but we found the whole hospitality side needs a shake up. We arrived on late ferry because of Air New Zealand was delayed. On checking in were told even though we were unable to book a restaurant reservation we would be fed. Yeah Right after unhappy discussions we were then sorted out by someone who overruled the young officious ones and we were told to sit in the corner and later served a half cooked pizza and cold fries. Reluctant service which unfortunately became the way this resort was run throughout our stay. There is still some of the real lovely,friendly Fijian staff but the strict holiday camp way the restaurants are run do not account for a relaxed holiday appeal. Someone running this food and beverage side has forgotten about the customer and who is paying their high prices. Obviously some of the staff do not want to be working there and it shows in their attitude. Once back on the mainland it was nice to see the smiling faces again. There are other resorts in the Pacific Islands who welcome our hard earned dollars.

Plantation Island Resort is located on the most beautiful island and so close to mainland, just a 50 minute ferry ride to get there. We love having the option of multiple pools and swimming/snorkelling in the gorgeous sea. Tavola is a great restaurant too. PIR is a tropical paradise!

Good potential based on location however the resort is quite run down. The food options are very limited and poorly exicuted and the pools and beach are not as advertised and not equal to the price you pay. The staff are the saving grace for this resort but cant recommend this resort for others unfortunately, may be ok for large groups.

10/10 Exceptional

Very happy place, a little expensive with meals, check out could be easier having my daughter in law exit in a queue for 30mins to be told when it was her turn that the cashier was closed and she would have to join the end of another queue- very stressful when trying to get the ferry. Staff member was not polite and caused some distress

STAY AWAY!!! Money making operation!!! TOO EXPENSIVE AND QUALITY HAS BECOME POOR, FOOD WAS NOT INCLUDED AS IN PREVIOUS YEARS AND STAFF KEEP EYE ON EVERYTHING YOU EAT, DRINK, AND TOUCH. THEY WOULD CHARGE FOR AIR WE BREATHE IF THEY COULD. Boat ride 1 Way is $300 American, BLUA BIKES RIPOFF, SOMEONE TOOK OFF WE MY 10 olds daughter bike we renter for $50 for 24hours. They charge and keep charging while quality has suffered, along with quality. We stayed previously in 2023 and had great experience, but this time we stayed and will not spend $1700.00 for 2 day stay, NOT EVEN CLOSE TO BEING WORTH IT. IF YOU THINKING ABOUT IT, DONT DO IT. WASTE OF GOOD MONEY and be ready to be liberated from your cash. BTW, on our way back waiting for ferry, guy tried to explain someone stoked his wallet, but staff not having it. Him and his family sat in corner trying to make arrangements for payment. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED FROM SOMEONE THAT HAS BEEN THERE WITH FAMILY 2 years in a row, NEVER AGAIN!!!!

Plantation Island is an absolute paradise for families with young kids or teenagers. There is so much to do 4 beautiful pools, a beautiful (yet tidal) beach and lagoon, Bula bikes, snorkeling, paddle boarding, small yachts, kayaks. Our kids are not usually ‘kids club’ kids but the little one went a couple of times with their cousins and enjoyed it. Made a very cute ty die t shirt which he wore the rest of the trip. The new cabanas around the pools are awesome! It never seems too busy. Some beautiful photo opportunities on the beach towards Lomani Resort. At High tide the beach is gorgeous around there. It’s our second trip, we stayed for a week and we will be back. I probably wouldn’t choose it for an adult only trip. There are a lot of kids which brings crying, whining, splashing etc. we did the sandbank snorkeling and dolphin safari. The snorkeling on the dolphin trip was amazing! Got to see dolphins too. We also did the sunrise Kayak. Very hard to get up at 5.30am but it was worth it. A great adventure for the kids.

The island was beautiful, the people were beautiful, the room was great. Food was ok, drinks were a little slow.. sometimes the drinks we ordered before our meal came after our meal. But loved the island and the staff will definitely be back,

Just returned from nine nights (single Dad & two kids, 11 & 5) and we all loved it. I've been to Fiji a couple of times previously but this was the first time out to an island and it was definitely worth the extra expense. Water activities were excellent, in particular the water jungle and even the sand-bar snorkelling was good for kids. Food was pretty good, though it was difficult to get booked into anything other than the main buffet rom for evening meal, but we did go to Tavola twice. I'd probably only do 5-nights next time and go somewhere else too, but I would definitely return here.
