Octopus Resort

世外桃源，海景一級棒。餐食不錯，適合放空自己。海灘很棒，沙子圓潤不割腳。每天菜單都會變，中國人比較罕見，需要全程英文溝通，銀聯不支持，網絡衹在餐廳有而且不太靠譜，但他們辦公室的wifi不錯，可以應急。上島可以郵件聯繫他們來接，或者乘坐南海巡航班輪

Siamo rimasti contenti di aver scelto octopus Location meravigliosa Servizi ottimi e lo staff gentilissimo e amichevole Veramente un bel posto da consigliare

My boyfriend and I just spent 4 nights at Octopus Resort. The house reef was the highlight for us, although I did find the water to be frigid. We also enjoyed the Island Hopping Snorkel activity - the only day time snorkeling activity offered during our stay. Shortly after our arrival, we went to the dive shop to learn about the activities at Octopus and get signed up. The employee who helped us was not able to describe the activities well (the activities are well described in the guide book in the rooms) and was not particularly interested in helping us. He told me there was no need to sign up for the island weaving activity and just to show up at the scheduled time of 2:00 the following day. I went to the dive shop at 1:55 the next day where I found one employee taking a nap and the other on his phone. After a few minutes, the guy on the phone asked if I was ok. I replied that I was there for the island weaving activity. He told me I was early. A few minutes later (after the scheduled start time of 2:00) I asked if the activity would be happening. He told me it wasn't time, so I left. Each time I stopped by the dive shop, I was met with the same lack of enthusiasm. Once I stopped by to borrow a mask and had to wait several minutes for an employee to leave the "group smoke break" that seemed to be taking place. The food was okay, but not great. The service at the restaurant was excellent. The evening activities seemed to be well run. Be advised that there are far more guests than beach loungers. If you have not secured a chair by 9:00, you probably won't get one. Overall, we were a little disappointed by Octopus - mostly due to the staff at the dive shop not having time for us and by the lack of daily organized snorkeling activities.

Octopus resort is the perfect antidote to today’s world , Switch off to island time with extremely caring skilled and accomodating staff who make you really feel at home in their island . The exceptional reef snorkelling is off the beach , the food is varied and of great quality and diversity . The accomodation charming and clean , the spa treatments perfect , and a variety of activities make each day a new adventure the music each evening ,over dinner ,the Meke show , village visit so many highlights but overall it is the happiness and friendliness of the staff that makes this such a special place in todays world.

We’ve visited other islands in Fiji like Paradise Cove and Blue Lagoon, and sadly Octopus Island was the most disappointing. After spending thousands, we were given a bure right next to ongoing construction—something we were never told about, yet still charged full rates. When we asked to move, they wouldn’t accommodate us at first. We were finally moved, but only for part of our stay. The spa, however, is a bright spot—lovely ladies, excellent massages, and very reasonable prices. The bar is just “ok.” Most of the time, staff seemed unsure about where drinks were, what they were, or how to make them. Food is hit and miss. Breakfast was good. Lunch one day was “grilled” fish that was definitely not grilled. Dinner choices were limited—the veggie option had run out, and what we did get was bland. The bures themselves are nice, with AC and great Wi-Fi throughout the resort. Staff try to be friendly, but many seem tired. The beach is a small but pretty area. Chairs are all taken by 8am, so our tip—find the little secret spot near the bar to lounge for a while. Overall, this could be a fantastic place, but for the price and reputation, it fell short compared to other islands we’ve stayed at in Fiji.

I stayed at Octopus Resort and was extremely disappointed with the way we were treated at check-out. They asked us to pay for lunch even though we were leaving at 10 a.m., which made absolutely no sense. Despite explaining the situation calmly, the staff insisted multiple times, sighing in front of us as if we were causing a problem. To make matters worse, the two receptionists kept speaking in Fijian while looking at us, clearly trying to avoid transparency. It was unprofessional and made us feel disrespected. Only after 10 minutes did the manager arrive, and we were finally able to negotiate. Out of all the resorts we visited Blue Lagoon, Mantaray, etc. this was by far the worst experience. It’s really unfortunate, because the island is stunning, but the way guests are treated here is unacceptable.
