Beqa Lagoon Resort

The resort itself was spectacular. The food was the best I've had on a dive trip. The diving was beautiful and the dive masters top notch. The activity group was wonderful and entertaining. However, all of it was overshadowed by the horrendous trip to and from the resort. We arrived in Fiji after traveling for over 40 hours only to stand outside the airport in the heat without food or water for hours waiting for the bus. Then the bus was not air-conditioned and without opening windows for the 3+ hour ride. The bus could barely make it up hills and constantly honked the horn. Similarly, returning, we were recommended to book a day room at the hotel near the airport as we would arrive 7 hours before our flight. But we were delayed by 2.5 hours waiting for the bus so we were only at the hotel for a little over an hour. It was a huge waste of money. There was also absolutely zero communication about when the bus would be there so we ordered food while waiting for the bus since it was already 1pm and we hadn't been able to eat since 7am and we had been waiting for the bus for hours. The bus came before we could get our food so we continued to go hungry and wasted the money on the food we never got to eat. They need to be on time, or at least communicate well about when to expect the bus, and have bottled water and snacks/packed lunch to and from the airport.

Our stay at Beqa Lagoon Resort was truly unforgettable, but what made it so special wasn’t just the breathtaking island, beautiful surroundings, or incredible experiences—it was the PEOPLE. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with genuine warmth, huge smiles, and that unmistakable Fijian hospitality. Every member of the staff went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, happy, and having the best possible experience. They remembered our names, checked on us, laughed with us, and somehow made every interaction feel personal rather than simply part of their job. You can tell that caring for their guests comes from the heart. By the time it was time to leave, it honestly felt like we weren’t saying goodbye to resort staff—we were saying goodbye to family. There is something incredibly special about Beqa that is hard to put into words. The staff create an atmosphere where you feel welcomed, valued, and completely at home, even though you are thousands of miles away. Their kindness, generosity, and genuine love for what they do are what we will remember most. Beqa Lagoon Resort isn’t just a place you visit—it’s a place that becomes a part of you, and the people are the reason you leave already dreaming about the day you can come back. Vinaka vakalevu to the entire Beqa family for making our stay so incredibly special! VINAKA!🇫🇯❤️

Bula! What an experience Beqa Lagoon Resort is. The diving is spectacular. The shark dives are incredible: tiger sharks, bull sharks, lemon sharks and nurse sharks - all within inches of you, but do not touch! But, for me, that wasn’t the best part! From the singing greeting as our boat arrived to the farewell song as we sadly had to leave, the staff genuinely loves that you are there. Beautiful people absolutely treasure your presence and work to ensure you feel well taken care of. I spend a huge portion of my time taking care of others and it was a treat to be taken care of. The massages, the amazing meals, the fire walkers, fire dancers, village choir, kava ceremony and of course dive instruction if you need to get certified. There are trips to the villages, primary school and kayaking through mangroves. However, I have to say, the conservation activities you can participate in are extra special! You can help eradicate invasive species threatening their beautiful reefs, help clean the reef and even help build a new reef being laid out as a maze! I now have my own small reef started with 7 pieces of broken off coral (sometimes the big fish bump too hard and break off pieces). One piece of coral represents me and the other six are for each of my grandchildren, doing our part to cherish our plant and ocean life, and leaving a legacy in Fiji! The conservationist records and shares the annual growth! I’m so excited about this!

I am a Scuba Group leader and took 20 people for a week to dive at Beqa Lagoon Resort. we all had the beautiful Beach front buras with large decks, private soaking pools and lawns. The buras are very spaciest and clean. The staff kept our rooms clean and the grounds around the area and resort were always clean.

I’ll start with what I didn’t like about Beqa Island Resort and that is the 4% charge on ANY card when settling the final bill. I use a debit card which has less than half a percent merchant charges so 4% is extortionate. Note that if I had a local Fijian debit card, it would be illegal to add a card charge to the bill. I hope this policy changes. As for a dive holiday destination, Beqa Lagoon is good, the staff are very welcoming and hospitable. Many of the dive team have been with BLR for a very long time and this shows when you are diving with the sharks, these guys know their behaviour and know the sharks well. I wouldn’t rate the reef dives as top notch bit I have been spoilt with some of the places I’ve dived. The diving here is generally very easy with slight current around the island and visibility is generally good in the dry season. The rooms are very spacious, they are well maintained and kept meticulously clean. The grounds are beautiful and also very well maintained. The food is great and the chefs are more than happy to cater for people with specific dietary requests. I enjoyed my time at Beqa Lagoon Resort and intend to return in the future for more shark diving.
