Navutu Stars Resort

Three of us stayed at Navutu Stars for three nights. The room was beautiful—very spacious, private, and right on its own beach, which we loved. That said, the resort is extremely small, with one central area for all meals, and the menu did not change during our stay. Getting there requires a four-hour ferry ride from Port Denarau with only one arrival and departure per day, so flights must be planned carefully. The ride can be rough if you’re prone to motion sickness. Fiji overall is quite expensive, and water is not complimentary with meals, which adds up quickly. The resort is very natural, so there are many insects, which may be uncomfortable for some guests. Our main takeaway is that this is a very quiet, slow-paced resort. With only about 15 guests and 1–2 short activities per day, most of the time is spent relaxing. The pool is small and not very inviting. If you’re looking for an active resort experience, this may not be the right fit, but it could suit travelers seeking total relaxation and privacy.

Amazing amenities and rooms in a lovely location, great spa/massages. One of the best restaurants on the Yasawa islands. The only thing I would criticize is the lack of a clean water tank to refill reusable bottles. I don't want to buy plastic bottles on a small island and add to the pollution of the world.

Stunning location and rooms Excellent staff Beautifully kept grounds A real treasure

Disappointing Stay at Navutu Stars Resort I arrived with high expectations, but unfortunately the resort did not meet them. The beach area was rocky, surrounded by mangroves that made it feel swampy and attracted mosquitoes. The reef in front of the resort was completely dead — there was no snorkeling to see whatsoever. The mandatory meal plan was costly, yet the food lacked both quality and variety. For the price, it felt like poor value. My bungalow was semi-nice, but it lacked basic amenities expected at a 5-star resort — no air conditioning, no coffee kettle, and no bathroom door for privacy. Amenities were extremely limited. Aside from the room and dining area, there was very little offered to enhance the stay. Overall, Navutu Stars fell far short of expectations and did not deliver the quality promised.

Loved our stay here The Yasawa IIsalnds are beautiful!!! The room was spacious with a ocean view The staff are lovely We bought meals as we went . Breakfast is plentiful so we didn’t often need lunch Food was very good Loved our stay
