A wonderful holiday spot on Taveuni island
We stayed 4 nights in Grand suite- cottage contains two double beds with two separate bathrooms and living/kitchen area. It has wonderful views. Snorkelling is just 3 mins from the beach, but only in high-mid tide conditions. Reef is very nice. Staff is very friendly. Mary has organised our land tours (Lavena coastal walk and waterfalls in Bouma National park- don't miss them and take a guide for coastal walk as we got a bit lost) as we did our water-based activities previously in dive resort. Food was the best on this island- both breakfasts and the dinners cooked by Mary. We strongly recommend to use this option for a dinner. Two small things are to mention: no dark blinds/curtains in the rooms, so it is quite bright to sleep after sunrise and the tea pot and pots for cooking are huge (it would be good to have a small cooking pot). On weekend, it was a loud music from the restaurant below on the beach, but finished around 11pm. Overall, we enjoyed our stay tremendously.

2/10 Poor

The resort is great and the host is beyond excellent. They take care of everything for you and they ensure that you have a good stay. BEWARE! The worst thing about my stay was my interactions with the tour guide they had at the resort named Varun, of 'Wings & Fins Tours'. This person is a conman who will lie to you, overcharge you, and take your hard earned money. Varun(aka Baba) is known to lie to and overcharge couples and guests, sometimes causing them to cry. I've heard stories about him during my stay all with the same ending. I wish I had been warned about him before he got to me. He is known by the locals as a conman. If you want to enjoy your time in Taveuni, avoid this conman.

This is a small resort, with only 4 guest cottages (which they call bures), so there's a lot of privacy. There are expansive views of the ocean, including sunsets. The staff is very friendly, with a wonderful sense of humor, and we shared a lot of laughs. Our bure was cleaned every day. The dinners in their restaurant were delicious, with generous portions. Breakfast was included every morning, and activities were arranged for us.

4/10 Fair

The positives – peaceful perch on a steep hill above calm waters and perhaps ideal for avid snorkelers and divers, a lovely staff always wearing a smile, lots of space in the villa to spread out, and awesome banana pancakes. But, based on the Expedia listing, our expectations exceeded the reality. The amenities listed for this 4-unit bed & breakfast makes it sound luxurious with 3 pools, direct access to the beach, a restaurant with international cuisine and a spa. The reality: a plunge pool about the size of an oversized bathtub adjacent to 3 of the 4 villas. The pools aren’t very private and are not fenced, so a local German Shepard mutt used ours multiple times to cool off – we didn’t. To get to the narrow strip of sandy beach, you need to walk down a steep hill, on a little road, then walk a bit along the main road to find a break in the trees or steps down to the beach, which disappears during high tide, so check your tide charts. The “restaurant” is the breakfast room and only serves dinner (one option when we were there) when Mary is available to make it, and you ask for it, and there’s no alcohol available to order with you meal. We arrived on a Saturday late afternoon, and she wasn’t cooking that night, so the only nearby options were two bar/cafes along the main road, which are close but bring a flashlight for the return, since there are no lights on the little road, nor on the property. And, BTW, there isn’t a spa either, just someone who can come to your villa for

We loved our stay here. Great view, amazing breakfast every morning (we're talking fresh fruit, coffee, juice, freshly baked muffins, homemade pineapple jam, toast, pancakes, homemade pineapple syrup!!), and super friendly staff. Every want and need we had was met with a smile from the staff. Cherry on top was the massages. Rooms are huge, clean, and have great views. Taveuni was our favorite island while exploring fiji, and we will be sure to be back :)

This was a great property, staffed with amazing people! Mere and her staff made us so welcome and was there to assist us with all our needs prior to arriving, than with a delayed fliight, missed flight, to getting us taxi to where we wanted to go even though we kept changing our minds. It really was a wonderful experience….food…..breakfast and dinner….DELICIOUS! Seriously so scrumptious! I had tears in my eyes when we left….such wonderful memories made! If you get the chance try a massage….best I have ever had! Hats off to Mere, Small (for getting us coconuts) and everyone else!!! You are in our hearts forever!!

Makaira is set up on a hill with a beautiful view of the ocean and a nice white sand beach at the bottom of the hill which has excellent snorkeling. The grounds are lovely and relaxing and the staff are kind and helpful without exception.

Great position with beautiful views. Menu was somewhat limited and the restaurant below the property is overpriced and pretty basic. The lack of air conditioning is ok for a day or two but difficult to endure for a longer stay as the weather is very hot.

10/10 Exceptional

The staff and accommodation are ideal for lots of activities on Taveuni. The Makaira family make you feel right at home but also have the privacy to do what you want if that is your desire. It is a very relaxing place to get away for a break. The meals were really great. And the local staff made the organizing of tours very easy. Booking a fishing Charter with Captain John gives you the most knowledgeable deep sea fisherman and the joy of success. The bures are simple but functional The phone and Internet on the island is variable which can be an asset if you are trying to get away from work for a few days. We will definitely be back.

Everything and everyone was really great. We felt like we became part of the Makaira family. Food was way better than anywhere else on the island. The staff was very helpful and very friendly. They made it as stress free as possible. Definitely a place that we have to go back to.

Unique was the friendliness of ALL the staff and Mary's awesome cooking. The place is very well maintained, great sea wiew, nicely located, although requiring -7 min walking down to the beach. You need a transport to go shopping, to the airfield or to the main town with ATM machine. Less ideal was the music from the "restaurant" down at the road. All in all a place I really recommend.
