We weren't impressed with Amunuca Island Resort. Visited: June 2007 Posted by jacquelineknight Amunuca has recently been heavily promoted by travel agents in New Zealand and Australia as the newest and best thing to have happened in Fiji. I thought the web site totally misrepresented the quality of the establishment. Amanuca might be a three-star concept, but it has been finished with two Star quality. Amanuca opened eralier this year. However, the rooms alreay look about a decade old. The bathroom you see on the web site is the bathroom of the honeymoon suite that is yet to be built. Our bathroom only had a shower with a poorly painted wooden door, and the room itslef was also poorly designed and finished. The developers of the Amanuca Island Resort seems to have bought the cheapest possible furniture. It is already falling apart four months after opening. The kitchen is currently operating with much of the equipent broken. The food was good despite this, but the staff seemed poorly trained. After six nights there, we had only one dinner that came as we had ordered. However, we did wait three hours for it to arrive! That was exceptional though, once we got a meal in about an hour and a half and that was after three power cuts that they had to cope with. Mostly, the wait was arround the one hour mark. The beach was not very nice, but the snorkeling was great. The equipment and the sports activities were operated independently by an Australian company who demanded payment immediately for all water sports. If you are reasonably active and like to experience the cat sailing, snorkeling, fishing etc. it is probably cheaper to go to a five-star resort like Yasawa Island Lodge or Vomo where all the water activities are incorporated in your room rate. The staff did not seem to betreated well. Five female staff sleep in one room and share three beds. They are rotated 16 days on the island and four days off, or 20 days on the island and 6 days off. They are paid $3.00 per hour - as long as there is work for them to do. I also had some items stolen from my room. Our teenaged children had a great time in the pool, and made good friends with the other teenagers. 41 users found this review helpful. 7 found this review unhelpful. Did you find this helpful?
