Hotel Nanuya Balavu Island

"What a shame… this place may have had an amazing potential. Unfortunately my stay was incredibly disappointing. The good sides : - The bures are in good shape and the room is agreable close to the sea hearing the waves - the food is ok and in big quantities - The spot is beautiful and the snorkeling is nice What made me shorten my stay from 5 nights to 2 : - The lady in charge here was of no help whatsoever, unnice, asking for money ahead of any request - I had rats or bats fighting in the ceiling of my bure making soooo much noise at night, didnt sleep much, but didn’t get any assistance. I stayed my 2 nights with my family of rats… - One member of the staff made inappropriate propositions to me on the very first evening. Offered to stay in my room and sleep with me. As a solo traveler this is never reassuring. I would advise solo women to avoid this place by any means. A few other women were here at the same time and felt inappropriate heavy unwelcome flirting. - They put pictures of the pool on the booking websites but there is no pool. Everything is falling into ruins. - They charge you for the small boat to pick you up from the ferry but don’t tell you in advance. 30$ for less than 2 minutes of boat seams a bit of a stretch - Electricity is on only 3 hours in the morning and 3 hours at diner. But in reality they don’t respect the time and it is more like 1.5 hours. - Finally, this is not the lodge’s fault but the beach is incredibly shallow, you can walk for 15"
