Staff not having dinner with guests

Very warm welcome, made us feel right at home. Food was amazing, tasty and plentiful. Enjoyed sharing table with fellow travelers. Snorkeling was awesome, best at high tide, but walk around rocks to go at lower tide. Sunrise and island view from lookout were a great way to start day. Nice trip to blue lagoon for picnic lunch and swim. Would stay again

The staff were amazing and the whole experience exceeded our expectations. A really authentic Fijian experience-a slice of paradise. We would highly recommend this place to anyone. The snorkelling on their reef is world class.

No such thing. Comparing to other places in the Yasawas - perffect place!

Clean and well managed place wifh super friendly staff! I highly recommend it to anyone willing to learn about true Fiji. And the beach… perfect!

Our stay at this guesthouse in Matacawalevu Island was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with genuine hospitality that made us feel like part of the family. The food was absolutely amazing, every meal was delicious and traditional. Our room was so huge and beautifully maintained, it felt like the perfect holiday we were dreaming about. The guesthouse is perfectly located close to the beach, where we enjoyed kayaking around. One of the best things of our stay was visiting the nearby Sawa-i-Lau caves, an easy trip from the guesthouse, and taking part in local life through a village and church visit (the experience felt really authentic). This wasn’t just a stay, it was a real Fijian experience. We're so grateful to the wonderful family who hosted us and made everything so special. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a true experience away from everything.

We booked knowing that Ravita was a homestay. We were disappointed that there wasn't a resident family, and the staff who looked after us so well, wouldn't eat with us even when we invited them specifically to join us. We are not royalty, we wanted to be in Fiji with Fijians, and somehow these routines kept us apart.

Shirley and Laite were the ones who attended to us most closely. The meals were varied and tasty. The homestay is close to a beautiful beach for snorkeling and watching sunset. We were taken on a hike by Dan and taken to Catholic mass on both Sundays Dan and Male. These trips gave us wonderful contact with Vuake people (some whom I had me 40 years ago) and with Ravita staff as we travelled. Picnic at Nanua Lailai was also a great time. We enjoyed birdwatching too

Absolutely amazing experience — 10/10, 1000 stars! We had the most incredible time at Ravita Cove Home Stay, and we can’t recommend it enough! First and foremost, we want to send a huge thank you to the wonderful team who made our stay unforgettable: Meme, Laite, Shely, Male, Kare, Dan, and Captain Simi. You are all truly special, and your warmth and hospitality made us feel like part of the family from the moment we arrived. The place itself was spotless, well-kept, and beautifully located. Every detail was thoughtful and welcoming. The food was delicious and full of local flavor. We will truly miss this place and especially the incredible people who run it. Without hesitation, we recommend Ravita Cove Home Stay to anyone looking for an authentic, heartwarming, and memorable experience in Fiji. Vinaka vaka levu ❤️

Internet access was intermittent

Ravita Cove is a slice of snorkeling paradise. The staff were amazing - nothing was too much trouble for Sai, Leite, Marta and Marley. Every meal was different, and what was great about the Lovo night with the kava ceremony was how genuine it was. We were treated to lovo as guests, not tourists. The shared bathroom was spotless and not inconvenient.

Great beach - easy to walk, great hosts, nice guided walk to the top of the hill, snorkeling near the rocks to find some beautiful fishes and corals.

Nothing!

We stayed here for 6 days and absolutely loved this homestay. The friendly staff did everything they could to make our stay memorable. A lot of the activities were free and so much fun - amazing snorkeling, beach picnic, church visit, school visit. The food was great, we looked forward to every meal. Overall, a very Fijian experience and one we would recommend to everyone!

We had a wonderful stay at Ravita Cove. The house was clean and cheerful, friendly staff, and stunning location. The snorkelling off the beach was superb, with bright coral and an abundance of tropical fish. We liked that there were three guest rooms, so there were new people to meet at meal times, but it didn't feel at all touristy. We enjoyed the school visit, lovo and kava ceremony. If you want a place to truly unwind, away from the touristy resorts, I recommend Ravita Cove.

It is isolated from everything else. Nothing t walk to other than the village, no stores available, no activities. Everything requires a boat ride. The people running the homestay are very helpful and provide boat rides to some places, including some activities like hiking. For some reason, it seems that people in Fiji homestays do not like to cook fish - we had more chicken than fish, and even had sausage, which to me makes no sense with the ocean right in front.

Location is great, with two beaches very close, and one that provides amazing snorkeling! Friendly people, comfortable, bright and ventilated rooms, very clean. Food was plenty and varied, even had a beach barbecue. Very affordable, and great value for the money.

The bathroom is basic, but not at all bad for the price.

The staff were amazing, sai cooked the most delicious food for us and everyone was so kind and accommodating. The coral reef off the beach from the property had the most incredible snorkelling.

I'm a women solo traveller and stayed 7 nights. I had an amazing time. Sai and Leite cared a lot for me and helped me with any questions. Sai cooks delicious food. Loved her banana cake. The boys Malei and boat driver picked me up from Yasawa flyer and we went to blue lagoon snorcheling and to the cave. The other guests were lovely, we had cava ceremony and played cards at night sitting together enjoying sunset at the beach. Kajaking is for free any time. The room is big and cosy and you have privacy. Showers, bathroom, fridge and WIFI is also there. Everything is well organized and guests are treated like friends. I am so happy i came here and will be back.

The guys at Ravita were amazing. The location is gorgeous and everyone goes out of their way to really make your trip special. Sai's cooking is incredible. She will spoil you every day with delightful dishes and fresh baking. I really hope that she gets that Bakery opened one day! The activities were great, the beach picking, hiking, village tour, Snorkeling and more were so much fun and beautiful. We just had the most amazing time! Thank you all for that.

Nothing, it exceeded my expectations.

Beautiful fijian property which was kept very clean. Vibrant colours were beautiful! Fantastic people, fantastic location, fantastic food! Cannot recommend enough. So much better than staying in a resort and great value! Fijian owned tourism is the best!

Lots of grass would wash up on the beach making it hard to use. However they took us to blue lagoon for a picnic and snorkle which was amazing.

What a gem. The ppl here are amazing. They had an amazing lovo dinner and little party while we were there. Caught fresh fish and crabs for dinner. The spot is stunning. It's a home stay shared with 2-6 other people, if you like that then you're good. Overall 5-stars. We loved it!

The staff are the most incredible, caring and friendly people that we have ever met. Everyone there was communicative and ensured we were having a good time with lots of activities! Sai’s cooking was also delicious- thank you! We stayed for 8 nights and had an amazing stay at Ravita Cove. The beach outside the homestay is gorgeous and has hammocks to relax on. The free use of the kayak was great for us to get to the other islands for more snorkelling, too! Highly recommend Ravita Cove due to the lovely staff and great activities (cave trip, snorkelling, fish feeding). Thank you everyone!

Facilities are what you’d expect. It’s nothing fancy but more than good enough for a couple days. Fans in the room are life savers

Food was amazing and staff were lovely. We did the cave tour and was so much fun! Water is spring water so you can drink from taps and only a couple hours that electricity doesn’t work. Perfect for the price it is!

The food was absolutely amazing. The culinary skills of the staff are very impressive. I was made to feel extremely welcome by all and they did their best to accommodate any activities I wished to do. I don't think I've enjoyed a stay much more than Ravita. Highly recommend if you are looking for an authentic relaxed opportunity to live with a Fijian family

Nothing really

We stayed for a total of 19 nights at this lovely homestay. We absolutely loved it, a real home from home. The staff team were wonderful and we really felt part of a super family. We were looking for a rural traditional experience and this is what we got. Sai provided us with delicious meals.... nothing was ever too much trouble and she made every effort to meet the needs of her guests. Kara and Laite kept the clean and tidy and filled it with smiles and lots of laughter. Male and Simi kept us occupied with lots of trips to feed the fish, snorkeling and to see the caves. Male also is a dab hand with the guitar and it was lovely to hear him and the rest of the team singing. We were sad to leave our new found Fijian family, we were sent on our way with hugs, flowers and lots of fond memories. Thanks to the whole Ravita staff team for making our stay so memorable.
