10/10 Awesome

Clean room, and smile staff.

Stunning location and rooms Excellent staff Beautifully kept grounds A real treasure

Such a beautiful property. The color of the water surrounding the island is exactly the same as in their profile photo. No joke. It's spectacular. Lots of resorts that we passed while on the Yasawa Flyer ferry did not have that kind of water right out their door or anywhere near. Coconut Beach Resort is just stunning. Then it's covered by a thousand beautiful swaying coconut palm trees. Everywhere you look it's just constant beauty. The staff is equally incredible. They greet you by name on Day 1 when you arrive and, throughout your stay, just want you to have the best time. And that's exactly what my friend and I had! Also slept better than we'd ever slept in our lives! Something about that spot, the sand, the swaying palms, the turquoise water...just wow. We can't wait to go back!

Great experience as expected. First time back on Nanuya Lailai for 23 years.

We enjoyed our stay. The staff was super friendly and always happy the help. The food options were nice, I felt like I was always full! The beachside Bure was a highlight. Being steps away from the water was so nice! Beach walks were or favorite! There were maybe 40 guests and it felt like we had the beach to ourselves most times! Lots of space to spread out and enjoy!Everyday at 6:30 pm you can book your excursions or massages for the remaining days. They also have an option for private picnics. With the picnics don’t expect the same lunch you would get at the resort it’s more of a quick packed lunch. I only loved the picnics for the private beach and crystal waters! I want to add a WARNING. For the Yasawa caves excursion done on Fridays and Tuesdays. Please use caution. They don’t have any safety warnings about people who don’t know how to swim. We sadly went though a very very tragic accident. A man drowned in the dark cave portion. He, along with his wife, were the only two wearing life vest initially and were told they could not wear them for the dark cave portion. The fact that there are no CPR trained professionals at this location really angers me. This death could have been preventable. It left us with heavy hearts. This is not for kids. Not for elder people (steps to get in and out are sooo steep and slippery). Not for claustrophobic people. Not for people who are afraid of the dark. They really aren’t that beautiful anyways. I would not recommend that activity.
