The Bures are private and large, beds very comfortable. The setting and grounds are beautiful, their Staff works EXTREMEMLY HARD EVERYDAY. Everyone smiled all the time and service was perfect everyday ! Food is Chef Quality Liza, the Chef was excellent with her selections everyday. The Bar was perfect and service as well. The diving is the best I have seen in the world for soft coral, the White wall was extremely impressive. All the dives sites are healthy, Lui our divemaster was excellent. Hal who runs the Dive Operation was on point everyday. Can't say enough about the whole staff. My only suggestion is for the Owners to pay their Staff more, they proved to us they definately deserve it !! I've been diving the whole World for 32 years as a Dive Master, Tavenui Dive Resort ranks up there as one of the very best !!
If you’re coming for a dive trip to Fiji then this is the place to be! The staff goes above and beyond. The service was excellent. The food was sooooo good, I definitely gained some lbs over the course of 5 days. The diving was on another level. The resort is close to rainbow reef, approx 15min boat ride. You avoid enduring lengthy boat rides when staying on the other side of the island. The dive staff was the best we’ve ever been with. Each dive was practically private. It was just my husband, myself and our guide. That alone made it worth all the $ we spent. We’ve dived in other places where it’s groups of 8-10 people which really takes away from the experience. Everyone was so sweet and lovely. We’re definitely coming back!
Fantastic stay, wonderful cottages (burres), excellent food, friendly/helpful/accommodating owners/staff, and high quality rental dive gear. We're hoping to return with friends in June.
A couple things to be aware of. TDR specializes in SCUBA diving. Your burre looks out onto the best diving in Fiji, the Rainbow Reef. There isn't a beach to hang out on if you're not a diver (or at minimum a snorkeler). Also, the resort is totally off grid - solar hot water & electricity. As might be expected, no air conditioning. Instead, 2 powerful ceiling fans in your burre. We're from Colorado and were fine the 3d week of August 2024.
This is a great quality dive resort in an uncrowded region of Fiji in the Northern Division. Food was excellent, staff were fantastic and the diving was Stunningly beautiful! Thanks Carl & all your team for looking after us at Taveuni dive resort, we'll be back!!
Amazing dive masters, fantastic staff, friendly owners, beautiful gardens, exceptional bures, fantastic food, lovely smiles, laughter and fun.
If you are trying to decide where to go - just pick this property
The staff and people are amazing and that makes your stay. The diving and snorkeling is incredible. It’s worth the trip to the island
The rooms are good, with fans that keep you cool
enough as it’s cooler overnight in Tavenui,
The owners are very good and run a great business, they really care about the guests and it’s boutique with great service.
The diving is very well organised and my 14 yr old son did a discovery dive and loved it. We snorkelled most days and saw amazing things.
Just book it!! And make sure you stay for 5 days or more
