Beqa Lagoon Resort

This is by far the best vacation I have ever taken. The rooms were very clean and well maintained. The beds were so soft, we all slept great. The entire staff are some of the nicest people in the world. They were very attentive, personable, so so so friendly and genuine. The food was fantastic, the diving was amazing! I just can't say enough great things about this Resort, I will absolutely be back, and I can't wait to bring more friends and family with me!

Our dive group (Dive World Austin) went to Beqa Lagoon and had a terrific time. The staff are incredible. I cannot emphasize enough how the culture of caring, kindness, and going the extra mile is prevalent at the resort. The dive shop was also good with nice staff who were happy to answer questions, especially their director who was kind enough to explain the history of their program feeding the bull and tiger sharks. Definitely get a Lomi lomi massage from the spa. You won't regret it. Food was excellent which is a neat trick considering they are a small island off a larger island - chef did amazing things with the food. The rooms with ocean views are top notch- and amazingly bug free (except for some non-biting ants in bathroom) considering it is a tropical island (I think the toads help eat the beetles/roaches so I never saw any of those gross bugs). Maintenance were around all the time to take care of things (I didn't have problems but others did and it was fixed immediately). The staff who handled entertainment and activities were incredible- friendly and funny and genuine. Shore diving was amazing- going either direction yielded coral heads, tons of baby fish and even octopus. Due to rain that we had a couple of days the water was more cloudy than usual on several dives so if you can go during dry season (this was shoulder where it was going from wet to dry) to minimize that it would be ideal- still lots of soft coral and fish and eels and even saw a turtle.

We really loved our stay at the resort. The food and the staff where amazing. The group did 14 dives, and cannot speak high enough praise for the Dive Team. Loved the trip to the school and village, and the feeling at the resort that we where family. We have decided to another visit in 2026.

We traveled to Beqa Resort with out dive club, Southern Maryland Divers. The trip was two years in the making and the club got a very good rate for those staying one week or two. The accommodations were spacious, the beds comfortable, and the food prepared and served very well…we had a waterfront villa. The head of the diving unit, Dive Master Paige, did a terrific job managing our dive operations during our two week stay, 3 dives/day with unlimited shore diving and all his dive masters were competent and very helpful… What was most unique about the resort is that there are no cars on the island….no bicycles, no trucks, no buses, no automotive conveyance of any kind…the evenings sipping our cocktails in the “Adirondack Chairs” just yards from the water’s edge were extremely quiet…very enjoyable and relaxing… Although our package was “all inclusive” as far as meals, alcoholic beverages were not and were a bit expensive…the internet was spotty if you didn’t get the upgrade …and that was expensive…. Would we go there again….well….I looked into 4 weeks in 2025, January and there were no waterfront villas available…same in 2026..what was available was roughly $325/night for one week…there was no option for an extended month-long stay at a better per-night rate… To travel from the east coast of the US for roughly 20 hrs including layovers is not worth it for one week… The answer to your original question is a modified no…we would like to visit again but it’s just too expensive ….We’re looking into other options..

About to leave this beautiful island. The Staff is fantastic and a special shout out is needed for Junior (Ju Jioji) one of many dive masters on Thresher, for going above and beyond in taking care of my family. Memories made that will not be forgotten. Recommended to all divers for an amazing dive destination.

We went to Beqa Lagoon Resort from Jan 13 - 20th and had an amazing time. We were traveling with a group of 12 people which were all divers except one couple. After the trip and listening to all of us discuss our dives they are going to learn to scuba before our next dive trip. We had requested the 6 Bulas on the beach each with a personal plunge pool. The staff at this resort are all the most friendly resort staff I have ever met. They all act like you are the most important guest and do everything to make your stay the best. Our group of 10 divers were all on the boat called Mako and had Amazing Captain and Dive Masters including Junior, Sivvo and several others that I can't remember their names. The weather for our first 3 days was a bit rainy and caused some really big waves and current. On our very first dive we jumped in and had 3 or 4 good sized sharks swimming around us the entire dive. I have only ever dove with Nurse Sharks and once saw a Hammerhead in Cozumel. When I first saw the sharks and at least one was a tiger I was a little worried but quickly realized the sharks didn't care about us at all and I was able to relax. The second day of diving was our day for the famous shark dive. The DM and Brandon (I think he said he is a marine naturalist) gave us a very thorough briefing. Once we got to the site they told us the current was really strong but as long as we held onto the ropes all the way down we would be protected by the reef at the bottom. We are used to Cozumel current but this was crazy, we felt like flags on a pole in a hurricane. When we managed to get to the bottom they were right and the rest was great and there was so many fish and sharks I was just mesmerized. We heard from the other groups that when they went the current was gone. The diving the rest of the week was awesome and the colors of the reef was something I have ever seen. I would recommend this resort to any divers and our friends that came to relax and didn't dive said they had an amazing trip as well.

Beqa Lagoon Resort was an absolutely phenomenal experience for us. The location is beautiful and relaxing, the prepaid meal plan (3 meals a day) is delicious, and all the activities the resort put on are fun and engaging. The diving was enjoyable, but the highlight was definitely the shark dives. The dive team are well informed and are able to provide good insight into the nearby shark population and their place in the ecosystem. Despite all of the above, the thing that makes Beqa Lagoon such an amazing experience is the staff who work there. They all do such an amazing job, and truly live by the mantra that it is your 'home away from home'. Everything about our experience at this place was phenomenal.

We booked our honeymoon at Beqa Lagoon resort so we could dive with sharks. I read several reviews, good & bad but decided that the location and shark dive experience outweighed the potential negatives. Diving: We did 15 dives in 5 days. The reef dives were fantastic, even though the team said the viz wasn’t great. The dive team were the highlight of this trip, they have a laid back style but help you with everything. I barely lifted a finger but they want to make your diving as enjoyable as possible. Free Shore Dives: The reef is directly in front of the resort. The boat reef dives and shark dives are incredible but we had one of our best diving experiences 50m from the resort. We dived with 2 octopuses Shark Dives - this is one of the main attractions at the island and it did not disappoint. My mind was blown and the dive team were exceptional at making us feel safe and shepherding the sharks underwater. This experience is definitely for experienced and confident divers. Yes, they protect you but you do have very close encounters with Tiger sharks and bull sharks. Rooms - we stayed in the cheapest room and it was brilliant. Air conditioning was great, we were greeted with flowers and a fruit platter. There were no locks on the room but each room at a safe for valuable. The water pressure was low but manageable. Food: Excellent - we are both vegetarian and the food was just fantastic. All meals were heathy, freshly cooked and each day you got to decide what to eat the next day. We were never hungry. We did bring our own snacks for when out diving and for in between lunch and dinner. Staff: Beqa offers something that is special. It is like a big family, within a week we knew all the staff by name. Every one of them was friendly, caring and treated you like a friend. Activities: Each day there are 3 activities. These range from reef snorkel, fire walkers, village visit, waterfall walk etc. It’s an opportunity to learn about the people who live on Beqa. There is plenty to do even if you don’t dive. Overall: Most of the problems I read in reviews about the cleanliness, food and air conditioning have obviously been fixed. I’d 100% return and recommended to anyone to go to Beqa Lagoon resort. I will be forever grateful to everyone on the island who helped make our honeymoon so special. Thank you

I’ve been wanting to write this review as soon as we left. We were there for 8 days and 7 nights with a group of 37 people, mainly divers and some of us non-divers. From LAX to NADI, it was an 11-hour flight, and to the resort, another 3-hour bus ride and then a 45-minute boat ride from the mainland to the Beqa Island Resort. When you are at the Fiji airport or when the bus stops at the store, buy some snacks and drinks, especially if you like to snack between meals. Sodas are an extra charge at the resort, and their store only has candy and a few snacks. The staff welcomed us with a song and a free foot massage, which was wonderful! It surprisingly included a sugar scrub massage. Because of this, I signed up for a Lomi Lomi massage (similar to a Swedish massage). Lita did my massage located in a secluded area of the resort facing the beautiful ocean. It was heavenly! During our stay, the staff catered to us and always asked if there was anything we needed. Filo, the hostess, remembered & greeted us by name and was wonderful in explaining everything about the resort. Some of the highlights of dinner everyday for us was selecting our meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) for the next day and having dessert every night. Meals were simple, because we had 3 choices for lunch and dinner. The foods were fresh, healthy, and tasted delicious. The resort was laidback and not overdone with activities. We could go at our own pace and choose to participate or not. My husband would go out to scuba dive in the mornings and return around 12:00 noon. As a non-diver, I snorkeled, did kayaking, got a massage, and swam in the pool and ocean. There was also stand-up paddle boarding, which I didn’t do. I wished there was slightly more planned resort activities with the staff in the morning for the non-divers while the divers were away. Most of the free resort activities happened in the afternoon when everyone was back from diving. My husband said the dive crew was very knowledgeable, helpful, and attentive in making sure they pointed out things that the divers were not looking at, so they wouldn't miss anything. The dive crew also were awesome in getting everyone's gear ready & correct before diving, so my husband didn't have to worry about it. My husband has been diving for a few years, and this was his first shark dive, and it was the highlight of his trip and is still talking about it today! The best excursion we paid for was the Secret Island Trip & Picnic lunch. This was a boat ride 20 minutes from the resort to an island that only appears for a few hours and then it disappears again. This was the best snorkeling we have done compared to snorkeling we had done in Hawaii, Mexico, and Jamaica. It had the whitest sand, the clearest sky-blue water, and the reef being in only seven-feet of water made it the perfect visibility for snorkeling. It had the prettiest reef top and was not lacking in fish or sea life. When you visit the village and the schoo
