My husband and I were at Lalati for 3 nights to start out our honeymoon. We had the best time. The things that stood out to us the most were the amazing staff and the delicious food. The staff was so sweet and friendly, especially Lucy! She made our trip unforgettable! And Bill was so informative about Fiji and its culture during the activities we did. 

We booked the beachfront honeymoon suite and it was so spacious and had a very comfortable bed. We loved the private patio on the side which had a small private pool, outdoor shower, and lounge bed. 

We booked a private massage and picnic on the beach across the way and it was probably our favorite thing we did whilst there. The beach was stunning and the massage was so relaxing! 

On our last night we were lucky enough to get to experience a traditional Fijian dinner, including a kava ceremony. It was an experience we won’t forget! Throughout our whole stay the food was out of this world. During the rest of our honeymoon back on the main island we kept comparing our meals to Lalati and they just did not compare! 

We could not recommend Lalati enough if you are looking for a quiet getaway to escape from the real world. Thank you Lalati for making our honeymoon so amazing! 

Honeymoon Paradise!

I could not recommend this resort more!! The most idyllic place to rest and unwind.

We were picked up by car to be driven to the boat, and when we arrived at the resort my breath was taken away, it is stunning!! So green and beautiful.

We were greeted with fresh coconuts, music and beautiful flower necklaces. I have traveled the world and have never received such a warm welcome. 

The accomdation is beautiful, large beach huts with big balconies, and very comfy beds!

A few little things didnt work, but all these negative reviews seem to forget that this is the real Fiji! It isnt perfect! If you are looking for a standard trip with full entertainment, TVs, wifi, this isn't for you. This resort is for people trying to unwind, relax and have the most beautiful trip.

There are some great activities, we did a waterfall hike (not for the unfit) and visited the villages of Beqa island, the people were amazing! I would recommend taking some gifts for the school kids if you have room in your suitcases! We wish we had!

The food was brilliant, fresh and delicious! You have 2 options for both lunch and dinner, with always a fish and meat dish. Really really great! I would maybe recommend taking along some nibbles like crisps and you cant buy anything there, but we were absolutely fine just eating the food and not snacking as the portions were quite big!

Also some of the best snorkelling we have ever done! Kayaks available for trips and paddle boards. 

Big shout out to Lucy who made our stay so unforgettable!

Absolute Paradise

We have spent 4 nights at Lalati. The resort is beautifully authentic. Staff are amazing and they look after us very well. Oli, the manager is always helpful. Dema and Lucy do amazing massage. Caesar took me out for a great snorkelling just on the opposite island and we spotted 3 sharks. Freddie is very knowledgeable showing us the use of different herbs on the herbal medicine walk. The highlight of the trip was kids from village nearby came to sing Christmas carols for us on Christmas Day and we even had a bit of a dance off. Internet isn’t great here, but it’s great to switch off from the world and relax. One thing to note, bring plenty of mosquitoes repellent and after bite balm. 

A beautiful place to recharge your battery 

My son and I went to Lalati Resort for a scuba adventure for his 23rd birthday.  Found it online and took a chance...we got way more than we bargained for!

Beqa Island can only be reached by boat.  No cars, streets, stores.  Seriously remote with a few villages and three resorts widely separated by lush jungle, rugged coast and small steep mountains. Foot paths (at low tide) and small boats are the way to get around. Lalati Resort is a small tropical seashore delight with 14 villas, a top level dive shop and professional spa.

Divers...do the Shark Dive. Spectacular. Thrilling.  Lalati divemasters are expert, helpful and clearly love all marine life.  Our guide went out of his way to carefully remove fishing line from a coral reef.  Warm water, 100+ visibility.

Lalati staff are warm and wonderful. The one bdr villas are huge, beautifully decorated, clean and comfy.  The grounds are lovely. 
 Gourmet food. Charming open-air restaurant, bar, lounge. The Spa Package was 3 sessions of "ahhh."  Especially the banana leaf wrap.

The people were the best surprise of all. So happy, friendly and helpful.  I would give more stars if possible.  Check their website. Best vacation ever!

Pure Paradise plus Awesome Diving.
We love Lalati!

The 5 days that we spent at Lalati Resort & Spa certainly will be fondly remembered by our party of 4. To be honest we were a little concerned after booking then reading the webpage where the Resort stated that they were not a luxury destination and if that what was required possibly to look elsewhere. In my opinion they were underrating themselves quite significantly.

Lalati is approximately 40 minutes by boat from Pacific Harbour.  

It is by most standard a small resort, located on an island with no roads so everywhere is by boat or walking. It is an Adults only resort which suited us.

It is small in size. I believe the maximum number of guest during  our stay was just 21 and at times went down to 10 (and we were 4 of these).

We booked 2 of the Honeymoon Suits which were fantastic. Spacious and very clean. All Bures are beach side. Our package included a Sunset Cruise, Massage, Romantic Dinner at on the wharf, Cocktails on the beach. The staff could not have been more friendly and genuinely nice.

Meals were great. The system was that you order your Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner whilst at breakfast to enable the staff to prepare the meals to order. I have noticed other small resorts that are isolated from supplies (being an Island) also doing this which was fine by us. There are a number of activities for those looking for sedate lifestyles as well as the more active.

We will certainly return to this Resort.  

A seriously fantastic resort

A gorgeous small resort about 30-40 mins boat ride from Suva. I don't think we've ever had such a relaxing holiday. There are plenty of activities/day trips available if you are inclined.
It was all inclusive, with delicious fresh food each day.
The snorkeling was definitely a highlight.
The staff were amazing and really made the stay so memorable.
We hope to go back.

6 nights of complete relaxation

We went there for snorkelling and we left with a whole new Fijian family. I'm already planning my return visit. Fire walking, village visits, and I'm hoping to climb to the highest point on the Island. The snorkelling was better than any of the day trips from Denerau and you could literally snorkel off the beach. Can't wait.

Best snorkelling

Very peaceful & relaxing. Staff were amazing & well led by Olly. Caesar was there to ensure we had a great time & Lome cooked plentiful & delicious meals. Couldn’t fault anything & definitely place to go to escape the rat race. 
Highly recommend. 

Fiji relax time...no hurry, no worry!

June is off-season, so often very few guests = extra great welcome and service. Spacious and comfortable accommodation and I loved the hammock on the deck next to the water.
Great place to do very little (me) , but diving and fishing are good. Expert and relaxing massages.
Staff all extremely cheerful and helpful.
Make sure you arrive Nadi or Suva before midday, otherwise you risk being unable to make the boat ride before dark,

Perfect spot to do very little ...

I read the negative reviews about Lalati after booking so was quite concerned about what we had gotten ourselves into.  However, after our 7 night stay we would be more than happy to stay there again. We didn't want to leave.  After re-reading some of the negative reviews i believe some are over-reactions or people who simply can't be pleased.  Some issues would have been genuine and it appears Lalati have dealt with these.

The food was great with very tasty & flavoursome options.  Two for each sitting and every option on every day was different.  No two meals were the same with a fully cooked lunch and then a 3-course dinner.  Breakfast options were always eggs poached, fried or scrambled and another option such as pancakes or french toast as well as the usual offerings of cereal, breads, juices, yogurt and fresh tropical fruits.

Rooms were large and spacious, cleaned and checked twice a day.  The bed was probably the most comfortable bed we've had for any holiday and 2 pillows provided (soft and medium).  I have neck issues and did not wake up sore which was such a relief.  The only issue i had with the room was the gap above the front sliding doors to the deck which let too much wind through during times of high winds - otherwise it wasn't an issue.  This was mainly because its a 3-panel sliding door system to open the front up completely to a deck overlooking the water with the mainland in the distance.  Incredible views from the villa (we were in HMV4).  Each room is a free-standing construction with good space between each room.  The private outdoor shower in the Honeymoon Villa was so great.  It used hot water and we used it every night as it was always warm enough outside even late at night.

The scenery at Lalati is spectacular and unforgettable.  Unfortunately when the tide goes out it reveals patches of muddy sand with only a few spots of real beach.    When the tide is in there is no beach but the scene is beautiful and relaxing.  Lalati have made an effort though to create a large sand area in front of the swimming pool next to the water so you don't miss out regardless of the tide levels.  You can still go for a comfortable swim as well.  There is a beautiful beach across the lagoon which you can be boated to or can Kayak to.

The staff are wonderful, very friendly, helpful and do everything they can to make your stay a great one.  There was a lot of fun & laughter between the staff and guests.  Fijians are very family orientated and treat their guests like family.  Thank you so much to Ollie, Lucy, Tama, Sisa, Kula, Morrie, Lomi, Bill, Oscar, Mickey and everyone else whose names we can't remember.  Leaving them was truly a sad day for us.

Some of the activities included visiting the local Lalati Village and one of the primary schools which showed us the real Fiji.  Take some Fijian dollars with you to the villages as the ladies sell handmade items to sell as part of their income.  Snorkelling was fantastic as well as the guided Kayak trip down the Beqa Lagoon around Bat Island and into the Mangroves.  We also took a day trip to Suva.

We felt that the alcohol prices were a little steep, particularly during happy hour when it was only a $2 discount on all cocktails rather than a heavy discount on selected drinks accross the range like we are used to in Australia.  However, there was a large selection of cocktails, spirits, about 7 beers and we had great times around the bar with other guests and staff.

Overall this was a holiday we will never forget for all the right reasons and highly recommend Lalati.  We'll be back for sure!
