Koro Sun Resort and Rainforest Spa

We had such a wonderful stay in Fiji! From the moment we arrived, the staff were absolutely amazing—so friendly, personable, and welcoming. Their hospitality truly made our experience even more special. We really enjoyed the excursions and getting to experience everything Fiji has to offer with such a wonderful team. The food was consistently delicious, and we looked forward to every meal! Fiji itself was absolutely beautiful, and we loved every moment of our trip. We left with so many great memories and are already talking about when we can come back. We can’t wait for our next visit! Highly recommend staying here—you won’t be disappointed!

The Koro Sun is a beautiful resort. We stayed at the Edgewater Pool Bure which was spacious with a fantastic view of the bay. There’s a large king size bed, a comfortable sofa, an extra third bed (that we did not use). The front of the villa has a wraparound, small pool and the back has a balcony deck that overlooks the bay with a ladder that goes right into the water. Sandbar for casual dining was definitely a fun spot with good food. The Latitude 17 is a fancier restaurant has a beautiful setting surrounded by water. The main dining area off the lobby, serves breakfast and lunch and dinner every night. The best thing about the Resort is the staff. Super warm and friendly, especially Felipe (he has a wonderful baritone voice, so be sure to hear him sing). Everyone is very welcoming. The hiccups: 1) WiFi: As noted by other reviewers, the Wi-Fi is spotty in the rooms. Walking around the property, we could see why - many of the Wi-Fi repeaters were installed incorrectly. The antennas pointed sideways - horizontally, rather than pointing up to the sky. As a result, the Wi-Fi signals are not reaching the rooms. 2) Slow food service: The food service our first night was painfully slow. It took over an hour to get our simple dinner at the Sand Bar of fish and chips and nachos. It was 6:30pm, prime dinner time, so I understand some of the delay, but an hour is too long. Breakfast the first day was also very slow. It took almost 45 min to get fried eggs and french toast even though we had a scuba diving tour scheduled (we ended up having to take it to go). Happily for us, after the GM reached out to check up on our stay, the speed of service improved significantly. 3) Diving concerns: The Koro Sun uses an independent dive operator Dive Suvasuva for its scuba diving and snorkeling tours. While there is a large boat, they took us out on the smaller aluminum skiff which was not a safe or stable vessel. I mentioned to the GM that the boat uses a short detached ladder to get back in the boat which is hazardous. The first step of the ladder is too high and it slams against the side of the boat in choppy water. My husband threw out his back trying to climb back in the boat with all his dive gear. Two issues which may be of concern to scuba divers: 1) Dive Savusavu does not have a PADI dive certified instructor. So if you’re hoping to complete your PADI ocean water dives at the Koro Sun Resort, you cannot do so through their dive operator. 2) July is not a good month for scuba diving from the Koro Sun Resort even though the Fiji tourist board states that May to October is the best time to scuba dive during in Fiji. Unfortunately, the tourism board does not clarify that while there’s less rain in the summer, July is not a good month (at least in Koro Sun area) because it is very windy and the boats can’t get to the dive sites. 4) Towels: Apparently, the Resort has a policy of providing one set of towels per person. When we asked for extra bath towels, the front desk was adamant that we couldn't get any extra towels for bathing even though I explained that we are showering twice a day - after swimming and again before going to bed. She insisted that we could only have 2 sets of towels and couldn't get any extra. I mentioned this problem to the GM, who agreed that the strict policy should not apply to divers. (But the towel limitation shouldn’t even be a policy at a 4 star resort.) 5) Activities. The resort advertises activities such as golf and croquet. But there were no golf balls or croquet mallets so we couldn't golf or play croquet. More positives: The hospitality at the Resort is top notch. The Resort also has cultural shows twice a week with the highlight being the Friday night General Manager reception with complimentary wine, beer, rum, punch, and snacks and a Fijian fire dance show. Except for the condition of the dive boat (safety hazard) , the hiccups were more of an inconvenience rather anything serious but there’s definitely room for improvement.

If you are looking for a slice of paradise Koru Sun has it. Stunning plantings, impeccably kept. Genuinely caring people. I injured myself whilst there (my mistake) and the attention and care was heart warming!!! Even drove me to town to Med centre after arranging w doctor prior. Plenty to do and ple ty stunning places to relax. Loved swimming in the lagoon and the rainforest massage next to a waterfall was amazing.

Koro Sun is truly about the people. Like I shared with one staff member, we felt like we were invited into their home with open arms and smiles. Bula vibes fill this space and many of the lovely staff take the time to remember your name. We were treated with such kindness in every moment. This was a highlight of our stay. The location was also breathtaking, with the pristine waters calling your name to snorkel and explore. The season wasn’t as sunny for us but it still felt refreshing and warm enough to take a dip or lay out on some days. The resort complimentary breakfast was also a highlight. It’s not basic and you get to choose some gourmet options included with your stay. As a vegan, this place was very accommodating. The coconut French toast and pancakes were Bomb (aka delicious). Some great excursions were also offered by the resort at a price but convenient for those stress free planning days. And if you just want to venture into the local town or other local spots, hailing a taxi is easy with the resort. Just remember to come with Fijian dollars as there’s no ATM on site and you will need some for some activities. They also have a rainforest spa that is truly therapeutic. We stayed in the Edgewater Pool Bure lodging and it was truly relaxing. Highly recommend, especially in the warmer months. Overall, we were very pleased with our stay. I would give it a perfect score but some things we wished they had included a sandy beach area to lay out and not having to preorder for certain restaurants. Out of all the restaurants on site, we enjoyed the Sand bar the most. All in All, Vinaka/thank you for the Hospitality. Definitely Recommend!

Our time at Koro Sun was unforgettable and it was made so because of the amazing staff, especially Caleb, Ana, Sara, Philippe and Annabelle. All staff were so friendly and kind and were able to help us out with anything we needed.
