No idea we were coming, no Internet, no breakfast, lunch or dinner facilities.  No garden to pick from as described.  Virtually we had a room with roof and flushing toilet, no running water for shower.  We were provided with hot water urn for cup of tea, which we supplied.  Not the place for a diabetic.  Avoid unless you are set up for a camp site.  Photos are old from when it was running properly.  New Managers were very nice, but no idea of what they should be doing.

Not at all what it is described as, may of been once.

I was expecting to stay much longer here. I wish I could have, but circumstances had changed my plans. But the short time I spent here was amazing. The staff were incredible and once the renovations   are complete it will all be a perfect location for a serene and Real Fijian experience. The manager Ali was a very kind an professional businessman and I wish him and the rest of the staff nothing but the best. Bula - Ryan B

Incredible place

Nothing like the web site photos. 
Off the beaten track, down a road really only suited for 4 X 4's. 
The chalets ( l am being very polite ) which are akin to a 1950/60's very cheap English holiday camp but worse, I've owned better garden sheds. Evoid like the plague.

Rubbish

Once.you negotiate the 3k windy potholed narrow dirt road in off the highway, you will be blown away by the serenity if this small enterprising local venture. As always, the people are adorably friendly and welcoming and we had a freshly cooked meal and a few beers and a swim.
The beach itself us nothing flash.

Way off the beaten track

Initial impression of Vatai Beach Eco Lodge is that it needs a lot of work to upgrade, but the price reflects this. Currently they have a good cook and the fresh fish with garlic sauce is fantastic. Hut style accommodation with shared toilets and cold showers. Great spot to lounge in hammocks, and the best is the access 2 km+ by boat, to the coral reef for snorkeling at a reasonable price and our weekend bonus was heading out to the coral reef at night and swimming in a sandy lagoon while the local guy went off with a torch and spear gun looking for sharks. The night sky of stars, (minus the moon) was breathtakingly spectacular. Fish fly at night in the torch light with one landing in the boat!!. This is a gem spot that hopefully will get better if plans to tidy and upgrade come off but well worth the effort to get there especially in fabulous sunshine. Owner is very helpful organizing transport once you get to Ba or Tavua on the local bus.

Basic accommodation setup but with surprises


“The road in is very rough, a rocky bush track for the last 2kms. The property is very basic with solar powered lights and cold bore water showers. It is not for people with physical disabilities as the paths and stair are very rough and uneven. We took the two units with ensuite bath rooms (3 adults and three children) extra bed $30 each per night was a foam mattress squeezed onto the floor, the second night we took an extra room which was $60 (no ensuite) which was a bit more comfy. Breakfast was included, and was excellent pancakes with fresh pawpaw/watermelon. Lunch and dinner meals were discussed and agreed on. Fish and potatoes with a tomato/carrot slaw and chicken curry and rice, tasty well cooked simple food. Do not expect a menu or choice. The grandkids loved it, table tennis, volley ball swimming and a fire on the beach. A real adventure. There was coolish beer, but only 4 stubbies because "the truck hadn't come" . Better next day when it did! Second night was cold, only a sheet and light throw so we were all cold most of the night. A great adventure for the young and fit. Not so good for elderly Nanas!”
