Really beautiful place, however, food was terribly overpriced and not so special. They say breakfast is included but in that they just include a few not-so-good-looking fruits, bread and jam. No proteins at all. Sorry but that can't be called breakfast. I needed to pay 20$ for a few eggs and some bacon. Now, the room. Not so clean, found mold in the shower and on the pillow. Ok the shower, but the pillow? I might get sick. Tiny room and if youre with kids, there's no privacy whatsoever. Nice beach, but they pollute it a lot. I saw them throwing some trash in it, really bad. Sometimes they hired a guy to cut the coconuts from the palms and I hate to say they just smashed the coconuts on the floor. Did they think about selling them for a few dollars instead of throwing them? And they're good because I asked the guy if he could give me one and it was so sweet and refreshing. So sad. The hotel is in the middle of nowhere so you're almost forced to eat there, unless you paid super expensive taxis or rented a car. Closest town is 30 minutes away with car. Even went to the capital but nothing to see at all. Really sad to see a beautiful place used badly. The only good food I ate was at the village. Fresh fish caught that evening, so good. Won't come back.

returned after 7 years, won't come back again

I've returned to Crusoes Retreat after 7 years, hoping it will be the same resort I remembered. But aparently lot has changes. Resort is quite run down. They are working on some renovations, but still lot of work ahead. We were 4 adults, they have organised an airport pickup for us, but sent a small car. It was quite uncomfortable, especially when the resort is rougly 2.5 hours drive from the Nadi airport. But what really spoiled the vacation for us were some of the resort staff. Especially the old lady serving food and taking orders. Cant recall if I ever met somebody so rude and useless. She was unpleasant and never made any order right. Quite a shame as most of the resort staff was actually quite nice. The hotel is also quite isolated and without a car, there is not a lot of options to get out. Hotel restaurant is ok, but quite pricey for what they offer. They say you come as a guest and leave as a friend, but that was definitely not our case. After this experience, I am sure I will never return again.

We really enjoyed the friendly staff, mostly locals from nearby village. The whole property was well kept and offer a variety of activities. The negatives were that in some booking places, it is listed as an adults-only property, when it actually accepts children. It wasn’t a deal breaker, but unexpected. Also, make sure you go over and keep tabs on what you order, so there will be no surprises at checkout.

Heaps of palm trees made the view and the property look beautiful. Close to the water and very nice views. It was quiet, calm and safe. The staff was really nice and welcoming!! The bed was comfortable and we had a lot of space in our accommodation in general. The AC was perfect! We also liked the hammock. The outdoor shower was pretty cool too but unfortunately the water pressure is not that strong. The way from the Main Street to the resort is not sealed and you have to be careful with pot holes. It’s about 3km around 7minutes. Also, we would have loved to use the lounge next to the hammock a little bit more but unfortunately it was a bit dirty. We recommend getting a new cover for this one. Also, we suggest to get new hair dryers since the once provided are not the strongest as well. My partner and I are both from the hospitality industry and we know that these replacements are on the owner!!! and not the staff!!!

Very sad to have such a beautiful resort run in a very poor way. Breakfast was said to be continental and being toast bread with margarine and jam, no other ingredients provided. The very first dinner was advertised as “marlin with wedges” and it came out the kitchen in super fast 3 minutes and dished out for us! Oaohhh!!!! But that was the worst ever see food dinner in my life. Definitely wasn’t marlin! And in the end they were trying to charge extra. 8-10$ / person for the dinner plates they thought that we are completely stupid and can’t remember the prices on the menu. Next morning breakfast we have trying to get a simple ham and eggs breakfast. Well that was just as disgusting as the previous nights dinner so we decided not to eat in the resort for any ordered meal anymore. We survived on the breakfast toast with margarine and jam and on the outside of the resort purchased ingredients. Do not except anything to eat and drink in this resort. They management is poorly experienced with their international customers and their needs. The staff is very kind but they are probably just following orders from the stupid money hungry management. The resort has absolutely no concept of costumer satisfaction, programs for their visitors while staying in the resort. This was a good learning trip for 3 of us from Australia. Probably never come back again!

This property is horribly mismanaged and is in a deteriorated state. The deck around the pool is rotted. My sister fell through one of the boards. Management could care less and did nothing to compensate her. A lawsuit will follow. I learned she is not the first person to fall through the pool boards. You can’t get any towels in your room or by the pool, and there are frogs and rodents in the barres/rooms. The dining choices are limited and there is no entertainment. The only bright spot was the service staff - Joey and JJ are exceptional. Everything closes down at 9:00 pm. The beach bar and grill is non-operational and in a dirty, nasty, disgusting state. There are only four (4) pool chairs, most of which are missing slats and have dirty, torn, worn cushions. And, the hot tub is cold. The resort’s website is a misrepresentation of its state and conditions. The rooms are not as depicted. There are no room safes, telephones, or updates. There is no WiFi in the rooms. They do not spray the property and you get eaten by the bugs. I have photos of the horrid conditions. This property seems to be owned by a slumlord. There’s no medical care on site. We couldn’t even get a printed copy of our bill at checkout. We had to stand at the desk and have the staff worker scroll through every charge to verify. Expedia should remove this resort from its offerings.
