We had read some average reviews on plantation island so had lower expectations than our previous stay at Castaway.
We were pleasantly surprised at how great plantation was and rated it even higher than Castaway for a lot of things. The selection of great restaurants and la carte menus was fantastic. Also we were able to afford a beach bure which was amazing (the bed was only a queen though, would have preferred a king, and the set up of the room didn’t allow you to lie in your bed and look at the sea). We were right in front of the beautiful beach and turquoise water, near snorkeling spot.
For the kids (our 4 and 8 year old) there were so many fun things to play on and the kids club was great. Note kids have to be 4 for the kids club or you’ll be paying a nanny $15 Fijian an hour).
We bought a lot of our own food as don’t like to eat lots of buffet meals, there’s a fridge, but no microwave which we recommend booking before you come as it took us 3 days to get ours.
We went first week of Jan which was nice. It rained a couple of times at night, but clear days to do activities. Was a bit on the warmer side after 10am to sit outside in the hammock and read so spent afternoons in our room while kids napped.
Snorkeling at plantation wasn’t as good as Castaway but the short one hour snorkeling trips were well worth it and only $35 Fijian a trip so we did a couple.
Loved the couples massage on the beach but the let them know where you want them to focus or you’ll be disappointed.
