Honestly before I start the review. These negative reviews I am not quite sure of what there expectations are but they must be pretty high or totally unrealistic. Plantation is a 3 star resort - consider it like that and you will enjoy it. Yes it is full of kids but that is the type of resort it is. My... More

This place is in need of a spruce up, but apart from that the staff are awesome. The kids club is fantastic. The food is good but not fantastic but there is plenty of it. The pools are great. Overall this is a gret place to stay for families, not so much honeymooners or couples. I had a great time... More

The only thing this place had going for it was the location and the crystal clear water which allowed for good snorkeling. We were traveling with 4 other families and had spent our first part of the trip with a 7 night stay at the Warwick Resort on the mainland which was absolutely amazing. Our last stop was Plantation Island... More

This was the final stop of a long business trip to Fiji before returning home. This is a big resort with several pools a giant common / bar / restaurant area. This is also a very popular place for families. There must be a ration of 5 kids to each adult at this resort. The place was packed and very... More

Visited Plantation Island in April 2013. Idyllic location, beautiful beach, not too far by boat from Nadi. The resort facilities could use a few million spent on them, so if you are looking for 5 star accom don't come here, but I can cope with a few chipped tiles and rust spots in an otherwise well serviced, clean comfortable and...

We just returned home from Fiji travelling with a large group (7 adults, 6 kids). First impressions of the resort left us a little concerned but we couldn't have been more wrong. If you come here looking for a 5 star experience, go elsewhere. Once you look past the tired buildings and get used to 'Fiji time' and appreciate it... More

We were booked at another resort but had to change. The location is excellent a beautiful beach with nice coral and fish to be seen off the beach, the highlight of our trip. The rooms were a bit scruffy but this is a 3 star resort. They were beautifully clean and the staff were very discreet hardly saw our maid... More

Dear TripAdvisor readers: Please read reviews posted on here regarding watersports activities with a big grain of salt!! Plantation has two external companies that operate our watersports activities. There have been a number of fake TripAdvisor reviews posted recently that criticise the activities provided by one of the companies, and in some instances also praise the activities offered by the...

The title of this review would fit any island you visit in the Mamanuca chain. They are all equally spectacular ! Let me start out by saying that we had no problems with hot water or water pressure, it could have been because we were in the 100s block close to the resort, but no interuptions at all.
