This propwrty could be so much more than it is. A beautiful tranquil island and a hteat place to relax and recoup but and it is a BUT. There were no sunloungers, the pool was not maintained well and could not lay around it due to the lack of beds. The room was not cleaned when asked after ot had been left awvwral days. The sheets were not changed frequently enough. For 3 says there was no wine 1 day no eggs and there was a very poor selection of fruit at breakfast. One day they cut an apple up as I asked was there any fruit.

Incredibly nice people make you feel welcome. Dated, but comfortable, rooms and mediocre breakfast could be improved. It is a nice respite from boring Nadi for those on a budget and only 45 minutes from airport via taxi and water taxi. The beach is good but the pool is small. Clean around buildings, but garbage ridden further away.

This was our very first holiday away on a beach resort; very easy to get to from main land to experience that "island life". Heaps of water activities included which was amazing. The resort has authentic fiji dishes aswell as some home comforts, great selection of cocktails. The property needs some TLC, some fresh paint and the decking is also rotting in places, the outside blubs need replacing. The jet skis looked worn. Plus the pole cues need replacing desperately. The water pressure in the shower aswell as the temperature was tempormental. Very clean and tidy, they swept up the beach everyday and kept it pristine. The staff were so accommodating; tom, emma and luke were absolute stars! We were able to check in early and check out abit later which was perfect for us, management really kept us at ease when we had any special requests. Overall a cery memorable experience!

The team at this resort were so lovely and humble. A perfect place to stay if you are looking to switch off for a few days. Every morning we were greeted with smiles and a chat. The island has so much potential, but it's downfall is the amount of rubbish that has accumulated. The staff spent each morning cleaning litter that had washed up on the beach, obviously not their fault but kudos to them for trying. We were a bit disappointed as we didn't have hot water for the time we stayed, although it didn't ruin our stay. Snorkeling near the island was fun, plenty of coral for schools of fish to hang out. Opportunities to go to and from bekana to the mainland all throughout the day and night no questions asked, even if the boat has just returned and the tide is low.

Had the best time with the unbelievably best staff! It was so amazing that we are returning next year. The staff was SO FRIENDLY! Staying on Bekana Island was PERFECT! It was peaceful, friendly, had amazing food and drinks and the staff was so friendly that they felt like family! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND STAYING AT BELA VULO RESORT IF WANT TO RELAX AND STAY AWAY FROM LARGE CROWDS AND JUST TAKE IN THE BEAUTY OF FIJI!

Room 1 was outstanding. staff and food were excellent. Karsika is an outstanding chef. Va, Matthew and all the staff were great. And a nice pool. Unfortunately the amount of rubbish present in this area is distressing. Including the water so snorkelling was disappointing. Most of it seems to come from across the main land drains. If you get a taxi make sure you tell them the boat pick up is about opposite the TANOA HOTEL. not the other marina.

The staff were incredibly nice, the pizza is good, and the transport to and from the island is convenient. That’s all I can say positively about the resort. The upholstery in our room (sheets, chairs…) was dirty and stained. Most of the water park features are not in use, and are sitting uninflated on the grass. The restaurant is a bit dirty, and full of equipment that speaks to earlier glory days (e.g. a foosball table and DJ equipment in the corner, dance floor lights on the ceiling). The Fijian Bures listed in their ad appeared to us to be being lived in full time. The beach at the resort limits was covered in garbage, and there is a garbage burn right behind the garden bures. Their website lists a spa as one of the amenities, but when I asked three separate staff about it, none had any idea what I was talking about. We booked two nights but only stayed one. It really has the feeling of a pandemic casualty - a place that was great and affordable, but has gone to seed since. While I feel bad for the owners, and found the staff to be lovely, I would by no means recommend staying there

Extremely disappointing
I was under the impression that I would be able to walk out my door and jump in the ocean, unfortunately that was not the case as the beaches were lined with trash consistently, so we just sat on our porch and watch the garbage float on by. I do not blame this "resort" for being in the direct path of a "trash current" but with this being our first time in Fiji, I wish this would have been in other reviews. I have a few other complaints like the food, the cocktails (they put olives in the pina colada), the burning of trash on the island, the pool being closed the entire time with no heads up, for example, but the condition of the beach makes me not want to return. We tried looking at other hotels after night one but everything was booked or extremely expensive. I hate posting this review about a small, family owned hotel but if swimming in the ocean or sitting on a lovely, clean beach is what you are looking for, this is not the place for you.

A picture tells a thousand words. If you are happy to stay here you are welcome. We left after one night. Management and owner would not speak to us about the issues so have effectively taken our $1140 AUD and provided nothing. Expedia tried to get us a refund but to no avail.

Worth your money
Overall - you pay for what you get but I feel it is value for money. If you pay double or triple you get to stay on Denarau but at the same time, you get no character there. This place has everything that you need without the bells and whistles. Room - average. Beddings are a bit worn out but clean. We stayed in a beachfront room and it was really spacious. Aircon made a bit of noise but worked well. Service - great - what you need to realise about most of Fiji is that people are super laid back. They are happy to help but they are not constantly bugging you to buy things, see if you need anything or going out of their way. However, if you ask them for something or to do anything, they will happily comply. They checked most days if they wanted our room serviced and if they didn’t, if I just asked, it was done. I personally don’t like changing sheets and towels everyday because I don’t do this at home and so bad for the environment. Food - limited menu however, you can go to the main island anytime. They pick and drop you as many times as you need. The main land has many more options but note that Fiji itself has limited choices. visit The Boat Shed and Nan Yang. Generally the food at the resort was yum. Activities - kayaking, paddle boarding, snorkelling and water slides were free with stay. jet skiing was not worth it as they have really regulated the speed due to a previous incident. Pool was good but not for little kids as deep. Overall - definitely worth our money

Small resort and ideal if you are wanting a quiet / peaceful getaway with some basic activities at the resort. Not fancy/high end, but clean, well maintained, friendly staff, and general needs covered. Was ideal for our family of 5 (2 adults x3 children ages 16, 13, 10). Our kids had a fantastic time with the water activities and 'one on one' support from the lifeguards. Boat transfer to and from Lautoka easy and fantastic 24/7. We loved our stay.

The property has potential but is not being run well. Book only if you are ok with an adventure. They lost the only key to our room and we waited almost 2 hours for them to break into the room... We never got a key. The keys are kept in a plastic bin at the bar and they said this has happened frequently. Finally we asked for our welcome drink and while waiting a mouse strolled by in the dining room. Room was fine, pool was cute, beach has potential. We did not feel like they were prepared for us at all and we did not feel welcome.
