Beautiful staff but beach front should be available. To families with young kids
Beautiful location and peaceful. The staff were super friendly. The staffing singing and playing guitar upon arrival was such a nice touch and welcoming. The food is delicious even for an all inclusive place so very impressive. It's much quieter than plantation island resort next door but the beach is more tidel so swimming was best at the plantation island resort (not a far walk though and can access anytime). The pool needs work and upgrade (cracking tile) but the setting is beautiful (sunset direction) and the covered seating area adjacent was awesome to use for relaxation and live music every night. There weren't enough loungers (16 in total) so often didn't have a place to lay by the pool unfortunately. The huts were lovely, basic and dated but the setting was splendid so no bother. There were enough activities to do book (snorkeling trips) that was nice to do since you can't access amazing reefs from the resort.

Great resort for a family holiday. It was really spread out and felt quiet most of the time. My only complaint was the cleanliness of the pool as well as the cabanas. Otherwise highly recommend!

Super friendly staff and nice area but quite outdated and not what you would expect for the price you pay.
Musket Cove was a really cool experience since its on its own island, so if you like isolation and only hanging around the resort this would be your place. If you like doing activities on the main island then this is definitely not your place since the ferry ride to the main island and Port Denarau is about 1 hour long and was quite costly per person ($200 Fijian per person or something like that). We stayed in the Lagoon Bure and my two complaints about it were there were ants on the ceiling you could clearly see crawling around which was kinda gross and the lagoon itself was technically overwater but not really since you could not jump in the water (it looked pretty muddy). Staff were lovely and meals were all included though, most drinks were not so be aware of that extra cost.
Musket Cove was a bubble in another world. The island was the most beautiful place I’ve ever stayed, the staff were the friendliest people who couldn’t do enough for you and the food was always delicious. Highly recommend.
We love Musket but the very loud music blasting by the pool and restaurant was disappointing. It didn’t used to be like this at Musket. Spoiled things for us. We could even hear the music in our room in the day which meat reading and relaxing was overshadowed.
Excellent stay. Only problem I had was that I didn’t reapply sunscreen enough. Temperature was very hot. Friendliest people ever all throughout the resort and Fiji in general. Every where you went you were greated with Bula and how are you doing. Wonderful people!
