We were a little concerned with some of reviews we read ahead of time.  We were amazed upon arrival at what a fantastic place this is.  The location is on the beach with beautiful hues of blue water, white sand beach, palm trees and hammocks. We pretty much had this gorgeous beach to ourselves, it was pure paradise.  Our family cabin was comfortable for 4 of us, there are screens on windows so we didn't have any issues with bugs.  There is a lock on the door and we felt very safe.  The meals were good and they catered to our special diet.  Breakfast was included while lunch and dinner cost $20FD per person.  You do not order from a menu they just serve a pre-set meal.  Our hosts were wonderful as well the other guests at the property.  This is not a big fancy resort, but is comfortable and very affordable.  It is important to know that there is no electricity during daytime, only at night.  There is no air conditioning, but was not an issue with windows open as we had a good breeze.  There is no hot water, but no problem since weather is so warm the water temperature was fine.  It is a long boat ride to the resort on either the Seabus or Yasawa Flyer but totally worth it.  They do offer free use of kayaks, Church Visit on Sunday and there are hiking trails. We did the paid snorkel trip to Blue Lagoon which was nice.  We really enjoyed our short visit and hope to go back again.  Don't miss out on this hidden gem!

Slice of Paradise

We took Seabus to Nacula Island on a very windy day.  It was great to come ashore and be greeted by such friendly people.  Our bungalow on the beach had fantasic ocean views and a nice little patio area to sit on.  There was a hammock right in front too.  The food was good expect fish, rice, and root vegetables.  Breakfast was usually pancakes. The natural beauty of the area is just amazing.  The other guests at the resort were friendly and we enjoyed conversations with all of them at meals.  It was a very relaxing stay and we would go back.

Remote Island Stay

We have just had Christmas  and New Year at Safe Landing eco lodge. This is not a "pamper palace", it is basic, clean accommodation for all pockets, it is directly onto a great beach with easy swimming in shallow water to reefs for snorkeling, it provides great value trips, fishing, reef visits and snorkeling, inter island transport, lessons on language, coconuts, canoeing and so much more. The staff are lovely and helpful. Drinks can be bought cold from the fridge, or filtered water is free. Our bure had a shower and loo and was perfect for our needs. We loved every moment. The breakfast can be a bit monotonous as it was pancakes most days, but there is unlimited coffee, cereal and fruit with most meals. The staff came out to sing us off the Island which brought a lump to our throat. Loved it and would not hesitate to go back.

Fantastic location

Really wished we had booked longer here. Stayed 2 nights and got to participate in lots of activities. Loved the bungalows on the beach, lazing in the hammocks, snorkelling and our own private beach. The staff were lovely and the food was yum! I really enjoyed our visit to the village and meeting the chief. It’s a great location as it’s not too far from the caves, blue lagoon and other great spots. We did a hike on the island where the views were amazing.

Awesome place

If you're looking for beautiful beaches, beautiful and warm people and having fun, this place is the best place to go in the Yasawa.
All the staff is very friendly and helpful, Tima and Naomi will make sure that your rooms are clean and welcoming and prepare great breakfast every morning. Nai and dodo will greet you with their warm Fijian hearts and help with anything you need. Chef Tevita will make delicious meals for your lunch and dinner. Bis and Malo will make you enjoy your journey for any activities that you choose. 
Plenty things to do, snorkelling, volley-ball, reef hopping, discover the Sawa-I-Lau caves, fishing, coconut demo, medicine lessons, enjoying the most beautiful beaches of the Yasawa and many more... You won't regret your stay in Safe landing Resort.
Don't hesitate you'll have such an amazing stay!!

Best place to be in the Yasawa

This eco-lodge is under new management as of the beginning of the year, so any review I read prior to that were not really relevant anymore or helpful before I arrived. The owner/staff are caring and considerate.  I stayed here for one month and it was an amazing experience! I love the people, this location is absolutely amazing, and this is a great deal for the price. The accommodations are very basic here and if you understand that and are expecting it you will really enjoy your time here. The major bonuses of this eco-lodge are the staff, lots of things to do, the location, the price, the fact that you can opt in to meals when you want and don't have to buy a meal plan as many other places require is great! This is a remote location run by locals, many who live in the village nearby. The cultural experience was great!

The rooms are very basic. They are making upgrades to very things literally on a daily basis so the place just keeps getting better. The food is good for short stays but if you are staying longer the menu is limited and repeats itself frequently. If you need reliable internet, bring it with you or grab a SIM card for Digicell or Vodafone the cell signal is very strong throughout this island. Change is always a problem on these remote island (Fiji in generally really) bring cash and bring it in small bills. If you need any snacks, candy, or a regular supply of alcohol, stock up at the airport or a grocery store and bring it with you. These smaller privately run lodges often run out of alcohol for a day or two at a time, and don't carry a wide variety of snacks. Bring a battery backup charger for your phone, I did this and had no issues at all. Power is up and down during the day and runs all night. One of my biggest worries was hot water and the absence of it, this really was not a concern. The water is fairly warm that comes out of the tap/shower and it's so warm on these islands even in the winter that it was refreshing most of the time! Mosquitos are better here than most places, the screens on the rooms are good so you don't need a mosquito net but do bring repellent to wear at night and early evening. If you are vegan, you'd be advised to bring some alternate forms of protein as the diet here is limited. Pre-download Netflix or other entertainment as you will probably not be able to stream major video while on this island.

The rooms, beds, bathrooms, are all very basic here but I was comfortable. If there is something you really need or is unacceptable just ask the staff and they will help you out. All of the excursions are worth it, be sure to take the boat over to Oarsman Bay and have lunch there and hang out on the beach/snorkel - it's fantastic. I will be coming back to this lodge and staying again next year, I couldn't beat the location, experience, or the staff for the price. With the exception of the prices at the lodge, almost everything in Fiji is negotiable price wise... I bought things for $50 that I could have paid $20 for, and tipping isn't part of Fijian culture - however, I found if someone gave me excellent service they would reluctantly accept a tip in private (not in front of everyone).

I spent almost my entire month in Fiji here and would do it again. The beaches on this island are as good as any, the excursions are the same almost everywhere, and the major things to see on the mainland were not really worth it when I stayed there for a few days. I found that everything I needed/wanted to get from my Fiji experience was here. If you want luxury or a hotel experience there other places that are MUCH more expensive.

Amazing "local" experience and basic accommodations

We felt like family in the end here, it was wonderful.  It’s simple, basic, genuine.  The food was really really good, creative, especially for a remote place.  The grounds were kept tidy and it felt very peaceful here.  Beautiful beach with the best hammocks to lounge away the day with a book. Reasonable out trips to snorkel.  Nice activities, lots of free things too should you choose to join in.  Our room was big and basic, pretty clean although bugs can still get in and they did.  The en-suite bathroom was not super nice, ugly toilet and cold water.  Try to get a bungalow on the beach, the ones in the shade looked nice overlooking the beach with a breeze.  Our bungalow in the middle of the property was not beeezy, although we used the fan all night and it was fine.  The generator is on at night.  Bring mosquito spray!! Decent snorkeling, right off the beach.
For the price, it was reasonable and we are glad we stayed here.  We were sad to go.

Basic and wonderful 

The arrival is beautiful, a beach second only to the blue lagoons (the real blue lagoon and the blue lagoon resort beach) and a very nice setting.
The conforts are austere, very simple bungalows with cold water and spartan decor, a little bit rundown like it was better and decayed with time although it wasn't unclean. A restaurant/bar simple but enjoyable in front of another beach wit a nice sunset.
Good activities and fairly priced.
On the con side, very simple and uninteresting food, cheap but no fijian at all. Staff noy unkind but sometimes absent, Comparing with other experiences, the idea that in here you feel less like family and more like a client, not bad but less good.
On the pros, apart from the paying activities, kayaks for free and an island beautiful as any other

Nice setting for a budget resort. A little bit rundown but with plenty of potencial.

We visited safe landing in May 2019. The place is quite worn out, which is fine but was falsely advertised online. We booked a private room with an en suite, however, were given a room with a shared bathroom. No one seemed bothered or cared to check we were in the right room. Most of the staff are friendly enough but quite distant and the atmosphere, especially, after dinner is quite dead. Especially compared to other resorts nearby which are livelier and friendlier. Some of our friends who were also staying here, had issues with their booking and as a result they were made to feel very unwelcome and there was a lot of hostility. On the plus side, the beach is stunning and very quiet and peaceful. The huts are also right on the beach which is amazing. The food portions are huge, decent food, not much for Vegetarians, and Vegans will massively struggle.

Not great

The place was nice and clean. 
They are well organized about activities. 
Food was okay, we had pancakes every single morning ( a bit tiring if you stay more than 3 nights) not much fruits. We wished we had more variety of food and more fish instead of chicken. 
The owners were really nice to us, asking questions and making sure we were okay. But they lady who was serving us at the table didn’t offer a good service. I felt she almost wanted to kicked us out.
