    Food could have been better. More fruit, juices and regular coffee tea or even soft drinks would be good. An ice machine! Ice seemed to be rare. Wifi spotty, but it is an island.

    Lovely cabins, exceptional staff in this small resort make you feel cared for, always over and above. The island is beautiful, the snorkeling off the beach great.

    Not much deck chairs/hammocks at the beach itself - mainly just by the swimming pools. Not having food choices outside of meal times 😂 (except packaged snacks n chips)

    Clean toilets, easy layout of resort to get everywhere. Friendly and helpful staffs. Dive Team was amazing! Had a fantastic time at the bull shark dive.

    Not the largest space for swimming/ snorkelling, but would definitely try diving here if I came again

    An excellent introduction to the Yasawa islands! Everything from the welcome from the boat to the beauty of the island was so special, and I loved the uniqueness of our beachfront safari bure. Special mention to the staff who were all fantastic and so friendly. I loved the chef, Tima, who made me feel very comfortable in talking about my vegan diet, and genuinely wanted to make something I enjoyed.

    The property is amazing with many difference activities both in and out the water. Every one of the staff and management were extremely friendly. We truly didn’t want to leave. We will definitely be back!!

    More fruit would have been great, often little available by the time we arrived (even very early) to breakfast

    The staff were absolutely amazing and the location was stunning. Even travelling with a 10 month old baby we had a wonderful and relatively relaxing time. The bathroom in the beachfront Bure was very nicely done.

    Barefoot Kuata was an amazing authentic Fiji holiday experience. The island is just under 2 hours on the ferry and once there you won't regret leaving the mainland. The island provides for a hike, amazing snorkeling literally 5m from the shore you'll see tropical fish everywhere and amazing coral, there are also options to dive and snorkel with sharks. The water is like a warm bath and you can enjoy for hours on end. The amenities are relatively basic however contain everything you need, such as power, running water, comfortable restaurant, full bar and wifi. Our beachfront bure was great, so easy to relax in and straight into the golden sand. 3 fans that keep you cool during the hot days/nights. The staff are caring, very nice, respectful and the happiest people I've met. All up everything was great, Kuata is the perfect place to experience real Fiji, allow yourself to get board so you relax and if you can't sit still go for a hike, go snorkeling again, talk to locals about their culture and soak it in. If you are someone who can't live without stable wifi and require constant entertainment and require 5 star amenities then perhaps looks elsewhere and review your life choices because to miss out on this would be a thing to regret.

    The bure area is a bit far from the restaurant area, and surrounding still under construction. should look better once it's all finished. Funny to have the outdoor shower and toilet, but also brings a lot of mosquitoes and flies.

    Barefoot Kuata offers unbelievable connections to the ocean. Snorkeling with sharks, at night, but also just down the beach was incredible. Swimming with reef sharks was truly a memorable experience. We even got the chance to see a sea turtle. We were told the bull shark dive was also worth its while. Meals were buffet: good with live music. Everyday a lot of people come and go, it makes the atmosphere a bit buzzing but I guess it's just Kuata's fame being close to Denarau. The staff were adorable! Thank you Kina for helping my wife with the shark snorkeling. We had a bure with view on the ocean. It was beautiful and quite. The room offered an outside shower. Was fine for me who felt closer to the nature but less for my wife who does not like bugs. You can pay both cash and card (3.5% fees) but there is no ATM. Loved our stay

    Even if the food was very good, 3 out of 5 of us felt sick during our stay… shouldn’t happen paying 140$ a day for meals. We let the staff know and didn’t do anything about it.

    Very comfortable dorms with fans and huge bathroom. The food was buffet style with plenty of options. The reef in front of the beach was amazing to snorkel. Loads of room to chill close to the pools and staff was lovely.

    The food is ok but you have to pay like a package 3 meals per day which is understandable but a bit too pricy.

    This island is such a paradise on earth. Spending time 3 days 2 nights and everything went so well. The dorm is ok and the bathroom is always keep cleaning most of the time. All staffs are so friendly and very helpful in every ways. Thank you for your hard work :)
