Dont kid yourself, this is a homestay and is very basic. If you expect a white glove service then this is not for you. The food varied between awesome and very bland and rather starchy. Though the portions were more than adequate. But if you want to experience the people and culture of the real Fiji then this was an awesome few days.

The people are fantastic and a joy to know. They were very accommodating, always happy, helpful and fun to hang out with at the end of the day. There is no TV and the electricity goes off at 9. But we werre usually exhausted after a day swimming, snorkelling or hiking and ready for bed at 7 most nights. Hearing them sing and interacting with their families was as much a highlight as swimming with tens of thousands of colorful fish and being overwhelmed with the sheer scale of the barrier reef

Very low pressure shower but it’s enough to rinse off There were wasps in windows of the room but they never bothered us

Beautiful location!! Saw incredible view of the ocean during sunset. This is basic accomodation, more like a home stay and it is good value for money compared to other more expensive accomodation options Make sure you have cash to pay for accomodation at activities Otherwise can use world remit app to pay. Super easy for Australians to set up, harder for the Italian couple who was there at the same time as us Boat transfer is an extra 30pp Highlight of the trip was seeing manta rays!! It was $100pp and the guides were great at maximising how many we saw. They will only take you out if they have been spotted the day prior. In the weeks before us they hadn’t seen any for a while Electricity available 6-10pm and you can charge your phone at this time in the dining area Drinking water available when having meals can ask to fill up bottle

If you haven’t had a guesthouse experience in Fiji, you have to stay here! Mela and Lela are super kind hosts, that will cook the most delicious food and even take you to play volleyball by the beach! One of my best stays in Fiji, totally recommend!

Leaving it and saying goodbye.

Warm welcoming friendly people, Kaisia, Mita, Bruce and the team. They went well over and above what anyone could expect as they are still recovering from devastation of Covid. Room was huge with large terrace and internal bathroom. Expect limited power and no shop as you are on remote island with limited facilities which was more than made up by willingness of staff. Many many thanks.

Friendly staff and beautiful scenery

No electricity with the Fijian heat was hard.

The beach and snorkeling are the best we saw in Fiji

Stayed in December 2024

We went there off season

Effectively it is five bungalows and dorm house located practically on the beach of calm bay with plenty of coral for snorkeling. Coral is not too close to the beach so there is plants of room for splashing around on sandy bottom. Wonderful team to take care of you. Guitar music and songs most of the day (not on request but just because girls on staff felt like singing, sometimes men joined). Coconuts, papaya, mangos — all you can eat. Tasty food and places to go to nearby resort, backpackers homestay over the hill, villa on the other side of the bay, hills and secluded beaches to explore.

We expected basic accommodation but were surprised that there was a very limited and sometimes non existent water supply for showering.

This was a home stay . The food in general was excellent including breakfast. The breakfast area was basic the resort is still recovering from the effect of Covid

The place is beautiful. Don’t expect luxury, but you will enjoy delicious food during your stay and receive the best treatment. Very good people.

We booked our stay at White Sandy because they advertised themselves as providing great manta snorkeling options. We stayed for two nights (from Saturday until Monday). On Saturday they informed us that there was no manta trip in Sunday but that we would be able to go in Monday morning. On Sunday evening, they told us that there would not be a manta ray trip on Monday either, without giving any explanation… quite disappointing for a place that advertises itself as offering the « best manta ray snorkeling ». As mentioned in many other comments, the facilities are extremely basic. They ran out of fuel and of electricity on our second day and we had almost no water to shower. Also, I would recommend bringing your own drinking water from the mainland. There is another resort, owned by the same family, right next to White Sandy and the facilities were in a better state. They also look more reliable in terms of activities offered.

friendliness of the staff, location of the resort, amazing food

Stayed in July 2024

Everything there is pretty rundown and falling into disrepair. Needs a lot of work Could hear rats scratching around in the roof of our burre. DO NOT have food with you in the burres!! We were in the furthest burre from the main building, which meant our water pressure was so weak the shower could barely rinse soap off us, and no water coming to our sink at all. Make sure and bring plenty of cash to cover the expenses. We were made to register with and use this app "Remit" to pay. Which was untimely legit, but made me uncomfortable. It didn't end up working, so I used a bank transfer which I wanted to use first and foremost which worked fine, but they tried very hard to discourage me from doing so and to use the app.

Beautiful white sandy beach right outside your door. Amazing coral garden and tropical fish Close by to trips for the swimming with manta rays. Which was amazing! Delicious meals Super relaxed and quiet

It was very rustic and no electricity in my bure. However was not too bothered and the positives much outweighed this!

I really loved my stay here!! The setting was incredibly beautiful. The beach out front was lovely and the snorkeling was very good too. Huge variety & number of reef fish. The food they served us was really good and they accommodated for my dietary needs. The staff were great, very helpful and friendly. I will come back for sure!! This is a great place to come if you want beauty and peace. If you want luxury - not the right place!

Unfortunately the whole place is a bit run down and needs better maintenance and TLC. I think it is still struggling to recover from aftermath of covid and they seem short-staffed. No bar, not even soft drinks for sale, just water. There is an even more run-down 'resort' up the beach which does sell beer only. My bure had very little water pressure but who needs a shower anyway in such a place!

A good, pristine beach with amazing corals not far out. As with most islands, very tidal, so swimming not so easy at low tide, but another small beach (nicknamed 'Honeymoon' beach) a 10-minute walk and climb over a hill through the forest with great swimming. Friendly host Emi and team make everyone feel welcome. Electricity from 6-9pm, cash only. It was my first island stay so didn't have much to compare it to, but any shortcomings were made up for by the friendly, laid-back vibe, tasty home-cooked food, and a truly lovely setting.

Stayed in July 2024

Unfortunately, the rooms are REALLY run down and require a complete renovation. There's no power, but it is part of the experience. Swimming can always be done but better with high tide.

We really enjoyed our stay with the family. Everyone is nice and welcoming. Food is good. If you like to be in a remote place without modern amenities, this is the place for you.

Stayed in May 2024

Water pressure is a bit of the problem with water not available for showers many times throughout the day. Electricity is only 4hrs a day

Bures are located right across the beach, beautiful house corals and swimming just off the beach. The staff is very friendly and makes you feel like family

A great place at a beautiful beach with beautiful people! Thanks a lot to Aggi and Mel, it was a great time!

We just spent six nights at White Sandy Beach, and wish we were able to stay longer. Welcoming and lovely staff made our family feel at home. Wonderful beachfront bure with direct access to the beach and reef, great shade and lots of facilities and activities for the adults and kids. Daily coconuts for all was a lovely bonus!

Stayed in July 2025

The place is a bit rundown and needs better food. The snorkeling gear needs some new purchases as many of the masks are in disrepair.

The location was great - right on the beach with a reef for snorkelling on your door step. Staff are super friendly and lovely to guests.

Should have stayed longer.

Amazing location. Great beach and reef. Wonderful walks to secluded beaches. Great food. Awesome friendly staff. Very simple living, no bells and whistles. Expert Manta Ray guides. Loved the trip to church. No mozzies in late June. Perfect place to switch off and unwind. Not 5 star, but we found it perfect.

The water was slow to come to our room, sometimes we had none but it is expected in this type of place. They gave us a bucket which immediately solved the problem. :)

The place is stunning and the girls on charge are the best. We had so much fun, they always offer activities and the food was amazing. There’s a really cool and beautiful beach to hang out just 10 minutes walking from there.

The resort was simple but well taken care of and the staff were fantastic. Swimming was lovely especially at high tide.
