Plantation island

Great place for families! So many kids and our unit fit our family of 6 well. Bare bones as far as the room goes. But the property is really fun and the beach is great! Food is expensive and not great.

Great stay in garden room. Spacious room, not fancy but had everything we needed. Beautiful island, stunning beach, wonderful friendly staff. Meals were adequate for a 3 star resort and plenty of restaurants to choose from. Family group had a wonderful time. See you again in 2 years.

Fiji Holiday

Plantation Island resort is really showing its age. Food options were average at best. The staff were truly amazing. Great location and fun things for kids to keep them occupied.
Jason, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Wonderful stay! Our 6 year old son absolutely loved kids club, which really made our holiday. We stayed in a poolside room which was just perfect. The pool near our room was big and clean and just the right depth for kids who can swim but are still learning. One end has some shard. We spend time scuba diving and snorkelling, also great. We’d come again for the kids club. This is a big resort, lots of families. The food was fine. Outdoor seating could be kept cleaner (lots of bird poo). But it’s really my only complaint.

Great family friendly affordable resort. Great time to go as it wasn’t too packed and loungers/seats/bikes were always readily available. Very clean room & ammenities, gardens/grounds maintained beautifully. Easy transport to and from airport to island. An easy, affordable family holiday. Just pray for good weather, it’s a little boring without the sunshine and beware of the sea lice!
Melissa, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was a little run down; however it was clean and the staff serviced it regularly. The staff were very friendly and nothing was a problem. We only dined at Tavola; however the food was nice and reasonably priced. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there.
Aaron, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Plantation Island Resort is located on the most beautiful island and so close to mainland, just a 50 minute ferry ride to get there. We love having the option of multiple pools and swimming/snorkelling in the gorgeous sea. Tavola is a great restaurant too. PIR is a tropical paradise!

We really enjoyed our stay. Plenty to do especially with kids. Really liked being right on the water with good snorkeling at the reef or a short boat ride nearby. Look forward to returning.
