Navutu Stars Resort Yasawa Islands

An absolutely wonderful Fijian experience in the Yasawa Islands!! I suggest any adult stay here for intimacy and fun! The food is FABULOUS 👌. Very good options each day for every palate. Loved the staff and the village... a place to "be" with the culture. So authentic and real. Fiji time! No hurry, no worry! The huts are very comfortable - accommodations provided are focused on the guest's immediate and ongoing needs.

We stayed 1 week at Navutu Stars Fiji in September 2025. Overall our stay was lovely and relaxing. The snorkeling and activities were wonderful. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Food was great. |However, the resort looked a little tired but clean. The sundeck also was not available as had not been fixed due to being wrecked somewhat. |We thought that this resort was overpriced even though we had a lovely time. If all the food [not just b'fast] was included in the price we paid for accommodation--it would then be more attractive.||Would we stay there again? --Maybe, if they reviewed this report and management was motivated to upgrade a little for the price we paid.||We loved the staff, food, snorkeling trips, and just relaxing---and we were made to feel special.|We loved taking a trip to the village but would have liked more information of village living.| We loved having the experience of going to the island village church, even though we didn't understand their language. ||It would be even better if they played soft, easy listening Island music over the intercom whilst having your meals, instead of western modern music.---we go to different cultures to experience just that!!

Best holiday in a very long time. A beautiful, peaceful resort with great food and really friendly staff. Stayed for 9 days just taking time to switch off and relax. The bure's are spacious, light and airy. The food was great, lots of fresh seafood and local produce. Ocean is warm and clear, great swimming and snorkelling. ||Flew out by helicopter with Island Hoppers and back on the Yasawa Flyer (ferry). Highly recommend the Helicopter 😊||Thanks to all the staff at Navutu Stars for making our stay so amazing. Vinaka vaka-levu

Visited NS over 4 nights for our 10th year anniversary trip. The only negative I can think of is having to leave.|This was, unquestionably, one of the best weeks of my life. The staff, location, bures, food, activities, weather... everything was perfect or close to. I would absolutely recommend this resort to anyone.|I will caveat this review with the following disclaimer: although I'm a reasonably seasoned traveler, I do not ever stay at 4 or 5 star resorts, and this is my first experience with such since my honeymoon. In addition, this is my first "tropical paradise" vacation, our family is typically a "beautiful mountain scenery" kind of crew. |The staff was absolutely wonderful: friendly, relaxed, attentive while being very much on Fijian time. I'm bad with names, so will shout out Big Dan, Skinny Dan and Penny (sp?) in particular, but everyone was great. |The bures (rooms) are large, romantic and always attentively cleaned. The location... I mean, it really is paradise. Secluded (only 10 bures in the whole resort, and this is the only resort on the island), on a perfect beach, coconuts, lush vegetation, the works. Because the resort is so small it feels intimate, but with enough space for both privacy when you want it and socialization when that is desired.|As a 5-star resort it skews older and couple-y, so much less of a "party vibe" than most other resorts. And that's with Fijian baseline of not being a party destination at all. The food is fantastic (not a given since Fiji is not really a culinary destination), and if you get a chance to experience the lovo it is absolutely incredible.|Overall, super pleased with the experience, wish I was rich enough to go back every year :)

My daughter and my good friend shared a waterfront bungalow situated perfectly on the island. We were in paradise and loved the Fijian culture, village, food and meeting other guests. We are from USA and couldn’t have been happier with our choice! Vinaka Vakalevu!!

Nowhere Near 5 Stars – Very Disappointing Experience We only booked Navutu Stars Resort because of its supposed 5-star rating, but this is in no way a five-star property. The rooms had no air conditioning, and it was nearly impossible to sleep in the sweltering heat. We visited during Fiji’s “winter” season, and it was unbearable—I can’t imagine how awful it must be in the summer months. The food was another major letdown. Not only was it terrible, but the same few items were offered every single day with zero variation. For the price being charged, this was unacceptable. On top of that, we were even charged for basic drinking water, which felt unreasonable. As for the beach, calling it one is generous—it was nothing more than a muddy pit that became a breeding ground for mosquitos. Definitely not the tropical paradise we were expecting. Overall, this resort is overpriced, uncomfortable, and misleadingly rated. Save your money and look elsewhere in Fiji—you’ll find far better experiences for a fraction of the cost.

It takes some effort to get the Yasawa Islands , a 2 1/2 boat trip from main island but it is worth it|We had a spacious room with water views which was thankfully protected from the winds|Breakfast is included which includes fresh fruit, juice , tea or coffee, fresh baked goods and a hot breakfast if you want . A few other things are at extra charge. We choose the al carte option as after breakfast we didn’t often even need lunch and a main and dessert at dinner is heaps|The staff are all lovely |We enjoyed the resort dogs who are very much at home and friendly |The only improvement we thought would be to have tea and coffee in room or near restaurant and water was limited to only 2 small bottles and was not served with meals|We will return one day

My wife and I stayed at Navutu Stars for 4 days & nights. Our experience was slightly mixed. There was nothing bad at this resort. However, there were some things that could have been better for their price-point. So I am going break up this review into Good and Room for Improvement.||Good:|* Location was gorgeous. The grounds a clean, the bure was beautiful and comfortable. You can snorkel right of the beach from the bure. |* Most of the staff was exceptional nice and kind. The bartender just gave off amazingly happy vibes. The snorkeling guides were wonderful people. |* Massage was nice. Their two massage therapists are good at what they do.|* Snorkeling tours were very nice. The locations chosen were gorgeous. The staff was extra nice. They would stay with you as long as you want to keep snorkeling.|* Your cell phone works at the resort. To my absolutely shock, we have excellent data reception.|* Internet speed was acceptable (about 10 bps download).|* The resort is small. We averaged about 7 adult couples every day. No misbehaving kids or drunk teenagers. So it was quiet and relaxing.||Room for Improvement:|* Food: Our biggest disappointment was the food. There is only one place to eat. The breakfast and lunch don't change at all (by day 3, we were not looking forward to neither dinner, lunch or breakfast). The chef is a nice guy but the food was mostly bland and just not to the level for a resort that claims to be 5-stars. We chosen the al a carte option, so the meals were pricey (about US$50 pp for dinner and $30 pp for lunch. Basic breakfast was included). The meals were just not worth the money they charged. I didn't have a problem with the price, as per se. I just had higher expectations for my meals for that price.||* Drinks: We ordered only one but our new friends ordered many. They were basic in quality of the liquor. Personally, I prefer higher quality liquor in my mixed drinks. However, at about US$15 per drink, they were not worth it for me. I get that we are in an exclusive resort, but the price has to match the quality of the drink. ||Overall, my wife and I spent about US$850 per night at the resort including food, water, room, a daily snorkeling tour, and a massage every other day. We had a great time and enjoyed the facility. This resort has the potential to be an amazing 5-star resort. I am hoping that they will strive to achieve it in the near future.
