What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Really good Food Experience

During my stay, I was delighted by the really good food offerings. The dining experience at Wananavu was amazing, with a meal plan that included a three-course dinner every evening. The lovo feast at the reception was particularly nice, and I still can’t get enough of the delicious flavors. Each meal had creative presentations, and the staff seemed genuinely passionate about providing the best culinary experience.

Relaxing and Invigorating Spa

I indulged in various spa treatments that were not only relaxing but also invigorating. The daily specials on treatments added an exciting element to my stay. It was a fantastic way to unwind after long diving sessions, and the serene atmosphere of the spa only heightens the experience. I still reminisce about the massages and how rejuvenated I felt afterward.

Diving Heaven

Diving at Wananavu was an absolute highlight. The team was incredibly well-prepared, and each dive brought encounters with vibrant marine life, including reef sharks and a diverse array of fish. I appreciated the attention to safety and the way the crew personalized each dive to suit our preferences. The experience left me in awe of the underwater beauty, and I can't recommend it enough.

Stunning Ocean View Bure

Staying in the ocean view bure was part of what made my experience lovely. The room was spacious, clean, and had all the amenities I needed for a comfortable stay. Waking up to stunning views of the ocean and lush gardens right from my balcony was a daily treat. It felt like paradise, and I was able to fully relax and enjoy my time there.

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.
