The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Dining Experience

The food at Wananavu Beach Resort was excellent. I particularly loved the corn and chicken chowder soup, and the lamb chops were the best I've had. Each meal was beautifully plated, making dining here a feast for the eyes as well as the palate.

Relaxing Spa Treatments

I utilized the spa services during my stay and thoroughly enjoyed the treatments. Each day featured a special discount on one of their treatments, which made it easy to pamper myself without breaking the bank.

Comfortable and Spacious Bure

My ocean view bure was spotlessly clean and very spacious. The large balcony offered stunning views of the gardens and water. Having tea and coffee facilities, along with a fridge, made my stay even more convenient and enjoyable.

Peaceful and Cozy Sleeping Arrangements

I had a wonderful sleep in the king-size bed in my bure. The decor was charming, and the ambiance was very peaceful. It was a perfect refuge after a day of diving and exploring.

Our stay at the resort was overall delightful with friendly staff who treated us like family and a beautiful beach location. The rooms were clean with comfortable beds, though a bit dated and lacking some amenities. Dining was a mixed bag, with fantastic breakfast options but some dinner choices failing to impress. The facilities could use a bit of work, especially regarding the pool area which was small for the number of guests. Nonetheless, we enjoyed our experience and found it to be a good value for money.

This resort is a hidden gem for relaxation, nestled amongst palm trees that give it a true tropical feel. I enjoyed free activities like snorkeling and kayaking, making the stay even more delightful. However, the dining experience was lacking, especially considering the limited options outside the resort, and the service could use some attention. Overall, it's a peaceful getaway, but there are areas for improvement.

Wananavu Beach Resort is a breathtaking paradise with stunning ocean views and a very welcoming atmosphere. The staff truly made our stay memorable with their genuine hospitality, and the diving experience was phenomenal, showcasing vibrant marine life. The food was delicious with a unique variety each night, although the dining area felt a bit like a private party since there was only one restaurant for dinner.

My stay at the resort was simply amazing, with a beautiful setting and stunning views. The location is peaceful and perfect for both relaxation and adventure. The staff made the experience even better with their genuine warmth and attention to detail. However, the dining options, while good, might not satisfy everyone, and it does take a bit of time to reach the resort from the airport.
