Likuliku Lagoon Resort

This was our second visit to LikuLiku and it was as AMAZING as the first time . It was like a dream come true to be able to be among you again. It’s true the lagoon is picture perfect, the food is at the level of any Michelin star restaurant in a big metropolitan city (SALUWAKI IS TO DIE FOR) and the weather was the best, but the real strength and winning quality of LikuLiku is the staff! You really made us feel like we were long time friends or better yet, like we were family. We loved the new amenities kit, the new turn down sweets and how lucky we were that our stay coincided with Fiji Day to be able to learn more about your beautiful country and culture. The only thing I would change is making space for a slightly bigger gym but it’s really not that huge of a deal and we made it work. These are challenging times for the world and local businesses but your warm smiles and attitudes make up for any small flaw and made us forget the worries of everyday life. We want to give an enormous thanks to Mere, Torika, Evi, Adrea (at Massima Bar), Moses, Luke, Joe and specially to Laisani for curating this unique experience. Thanks to everyone else in the staff whose names I couldn’t get. You are AWESOME! Vinaka Vakalevu and Sota Tale! (We will be back!)

This resort, the island, the water, and the staff were ALL amazing! I can't say enough about the staff's attentiveness and friendliness. Everyone went above and beyond to make us feel special. I cannot remember all of the names of those who were so gracious and hospitable (I am challenged to remember the longer names...chalk it up to old age!), but they included Qoro, Leba, Rosi, Emy, Joe, the waitress whose daughter is named Naomi 😊, the lady at the front desk who so patiently helped me with a call to my travel agent to clear up an issue with an upcoming flight, the resort manager, the activities guys (the guy who led our amazing snorkel trip around Honeymoon Island, and Simone and one other guy who played guitar and sang well on our sunset cruise, as well as the guy who took my husband handline fishing). I can't forget Mary and all the staff and singers that provided us with a memorable anniversary dinner at the special "one-time" restaurant, complete with a very touching Happy Anniversary song that truly choked us up with emotion. The bures were large and beautifully decorated, with his and hers large closets and separate bathroom vanities. Our patio was perfect for coffee and their homemade cookies first thing in the morning, while listening to the birds chirping and the small waves lapping on the beach. We also went snorkeling right off the beach at the amazing coral reef nearby and saw some "new" fish we hadn't seen on the snorkeling excursion. It was so exciting...the only reason we quit was to get out and warm back up in the sun! The evening programs provided wonderful entertainment centered around the Fijian culture, which ended our last night with a traditional Fijian dance and party to celebrate Fiji's independence day. Truly a memorable, luxurious stay at such a beautiful resort!

We had a wonderful honeymoon at LikuLiku. The staff are absolutely incredible - they make this place a 5 star experience. We befriended many of them and were sad to say goodbye when we left. The overwater bure was a dream. The food is incredible, coming from Chicago we are spoiled with food options and this was such a nice surprise. Everything is fresh, well planted, and truly feels like a Michelin star experience. The app was super easy to use to book experiences through. We recommend booking a snorkeling or fishing excursion with Tasi and Luke, they are great! We will absolutely be coming back and could not recommend this place enough - it is a true luxury experience.

The resort was amazing! Everything was just perfect, the food was incredible and the staff were so helpful and friendly. Special mentions to Kaya (reception) Leba (restaurant) Dee (restaurant) Peni (Sulawaki) and Qoro (pool). We liked the conservation foundation aspect as well - the iguana experience was very cool.

True luxury escape. Terrific setting -- the lagoon is beautiful and the view beyond the lagoon of other islands and passing boats is pleasing to the eye and really takes you into the vibe of being in the South Pacific. Yes, there are tides that affect ocean water levels 2x a day - you can still walk/wade/snorkel in the lagoon/hang in the hammock/take outings. Very nice rooms -- large bures with large, well-designed bathrooms and outdoor (optional) shower set ups. Great bedding on all counts, with pillow options in the closet. The TV was a nice add, even if we only used it for a little bit of Netflix viewing. Great A/C. Great lighting options. Daily housekeeping left the place spotless. Daily drop off cookies and next day's calendar of options was a nice touch. The deck and patio lounger/day bed were really nice places to hang out in the late afternoon, after several hours of pool time. We had a plunge pool and it was a nice touch. We took a trip in 2024 and did not have the plunge pool and, while we didn't use it every day or for many hours, it was a definite add to the experience. But is it essential, no. The food was consistently excellent. We were there 12 nights and there were no duds. There might have been a dish here or there, like 1 or 2, that we didn't love, but it wasn't an issue of quality, just taste preference. And there were several dishes that I couldn't wait to come back to in our second week. The Friday buffet is a fun evening and I would say I learned in our earlier visit about the hits and a couple of semi-misses and focused on the hits this time around. Breakfast has a long list of entree choices and a terrific buffet. We started ordering off the menu as our stay went on, e.g., some poached eggs and toast on their own or editing a menu item to only have x but not y. In a nice change from our last stay, lattes and the like are now included in the breakfast and don't incur a separate charge. The new restaurant for one-per-stay dinner has a nice vibe and of the six dishes we ordered, we really liked two, liked another two perfectly fine, and were ok and not unhappy with the other two (one of which we knew was a chance, given our usual palates) -- you can choose the six from around a dozen if not more options. Really nice wine selection (we only ordered by the glass) and mixed drinks. As for the staff -- I fight a daily battle against the over-use of the word "Amazing" but the staff here is indeed AMAZING! So hospitable, friendly, warm, professional, responsive, never saccharine or "too much." When our water taxi pulled away from the dock, I was sad to be saying good bye to the staff, several of whom made a point of coming to the dock to see us off, joining the staff who already were assigned for send-off duty. We are planning our third visit and have to keep reminding ourselves that there are a lot of places to go in the world, because the tug to return very soon and every year is super strong. For logistics, strongly recommend arranging the direct water taxi (using the option that theoretically could mean sharing the boat but in practice seems to result in private boat for a little less than the private boat rate) rather than the ferry if coming in from LA or SF on the flights that land at 530 am. We did the ferry in 2024 and it was fine, but it was probably a little after 11 before we got to the resort, after we had to kill time before, and get to, the ferry, and then ride the ferry for like 90 minutes. For this trip, we landed 5:30 am and we were arriving at the resort around 7:20. For the trip back, we left the resort at 6 and we were checking in for our flight around 7:15. We used SeaFiji and their jetty that is about ten minutes from the airport.
