Plantation Island Resort

We had a great time with the family at Plantation Island for a midwinter break. Everything was really easy and relaxing. Shout out to Pia at the Copra Restaurant and Callie at the water sports area, who both really connected with the kids and helped make the stay special!

Very family friendly - lots for kids to do. Food and drinks are quite pricey here - so come with snacks and easy meals if you can to alleviate some of the food cost especially during the day. I enjoyed the Copra breakfast buffet. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Lots to do here, my children enjoyed swimming, I enjoyed the kayaks! Rooms are simple but clean. My kids really loved it here. I would come back

Our family of 6 had an absolute ball, there was so much to do whether they were booked excursions, daily activities, or just going for a snorkel with some tips from the locals our kids were busy all day making friends at kids club. We will definitely be back (we may have already rebooked). The wonderful staff here make this resort what it is, a great place for families

This resort gives a new meaning to “Fiji time”. Plenty of staff, just no apparent direction. Takes 40minutes to make a restaurant booking. 24 hours to get a hand towel replaced. If at all. Ran out of water.. All in all just really inconsistent. Some of our 10 rooms had new water and towels when being serviced. Others had neither. Weird. Good portions of food, one day is decent. Next 25% of the size. It seems the resort has a “say no” policy first rather than say yes with a smile. Compared to the other places we’ve stayed in Fiji, would be the least friendly. The kids had a good time, however they had just as good at other resorts. If you have options, try the other before here.

We stayed at Plantation Island with my son (13) and parents in April 2025. It is a great location for families and I'd describe it as a Big4 Camping experience. The accommodation is varied, and I think we were in an older part of the resort. The room was comfortable, but looking tired in places with dirty ceilings in the bathroom due to poor ventilation and dirty fans. But overall relatively clean elsewhere. The food was buffet to al-a-carte. The service at the Tavolo restaurant was exceptionally slow, waiting over 40 minutes for breakfast and dinner to come out. Staff were friendly enough, but it had a camp ground staff and not high end resort feel to it all. Great place for young kids with lots of safe water activities etc to do. There is a bit of construction going on which detracts from the relaxing atmosphere if you want a quiet beach holiday with good views - you'll get a bit of hammer and saw noise in the background! We also found that the meal plan was expensive compared to just eating off the menu - might be better value if your kids are of the age to eat free. Overall, a great place to visit for families and if you are the sort of family that would have fun and be comfortable staying in a cabin at a Big4 campground in Australia, then this is probably fine for you. If you are looking for a 5 star resort experience, then this is not for you.

This is a majestical (hunt for the wildebeest reference) island where the waters are clear and clean, the staff are excellent, the rooms are so comfy and the service is next to none. We were a large family of Nana/Poppa, five children and three grandchildren. We snorkelled, we paddle boarded, we just relaxed and sought out hermit shell crabs on the beach. Sure, the food could be a little better timed, but we are on island time and island time is fine, The staff are exemplary - what a wonderful asset to have. Smiling Bula faces and attitudes. We would definitely come bqck, armed with a little knowledge of bringing pegs, snacks and bug spray

Just returned from a week on Plantation Island with my daughter, son in law and their 4 kids. We had a fabulous time and enjoyed every second. I see a lot of reviews about slow service but what’s the hurry?? You’re there to relax, just enjoy being on Island Time! We found the days flew by as there’s plenty to do if you want to, or nothing to do if that’s your preference. The kids absolutely loved kids club, it was hard to get them to the pool or beach at times because they wanted to go to kids club. The grounds were lovely and well looked after and while some of the rooms could do with a bit of TLC they were perfectly fine for a tropical island stay. The staff were absolutely lovely, so cheerful and always happy to attend to your every need. I could go on and on but we had the most fabulous time and would love to go back.

We had a great multi generational family trip to Plantation Island. The swimming in the sea and pools kept everyone entertained for hours. The snorkeling, Sandbar, catamaran, bikes, courts, pools and sunsets were terrific. Such a good place to spend time with grandchildren and children
