"Pros: The hotel is very close to the airport, with a convenient FJD 5 transfer. They allowed me to check in early at no extra cost, which I appreciated. I booked an 8-bed dorm but was placed in a 4-bed dorm instead—not sure why—but I ended up having the room to myself for the entire stay. The staff were friendly and did their best to help. The food from the restaurant was delicious, and they accepted card payments, which was especially handy given the location. The place was quite clean and within walking distance to the beach and 2–3 restaurants. Cons: There is no internet or phone connection whatsoever, which made it very difficult to organize trips, flights, or other logistics. Every time I needed internet, I had to go to a café and spend money just to access Wi-Fi. I was supposed to stay for 6 nights, but I cut my stay down to 3 due to the high costs of exploring and the lack of internet access. Taveuni is a remote island—and that’s part of its beauty—but the hotel is quite far from the town, where the only ATM is located. Most services on the island require cash, and each trip to withdraw money cost around 20–30 FJD. As in many tourist destinations, misinformation about pricing was frustrating. Many tours ended up costing more than initially agreed upon. I also found it quite expensive—or even impossible—to explore on my own. Without booking a tour, transportation often became much more costly. One minor inconvenience: my bathroom was outdoors, and on a rainy day, taking a warm shower while standing in the cold rain wasn’t the most pleasant experience." ~Natani
