Funky Fish Beach & Surf Resort Reviews

Staff gentle, but no organisation for any tour . Breakfast poor , dinner and lunch food so so . Beach is normal and nothing to do .

Funky fish is the perfect place if you sre in Fiji for surfing, diving, or just relaxing, and you are on budget. The staff is simply awesome, so familiar, and you get to experience the local vibes, which are more difficult to experience if you are in a big resort. The pool area is perfect to relax and the meals are great. The beachfront bures are simple but enough for sleeping and taking a shower. Beds are big and comfy.

I LOVED FUNKY FISH. ALL THE STAFF WERE FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL. I FELT LIKE I WAS WITH FAMILY. THEY CAN INVEST IN A PROPER COFFEE MACHINE.

If you come to Fiji just to see the sea and have a limited budget, you can come to this hotel. Many people who stay here come here to surf. The sea is right at the door and the food tastes good.

Stayed for 2 nights and felt that the house was clean. There was no hot water for showering on the first day, but there was hot water on the second day. The living environment is good, you can see the sea from the window, and the hotel has good greenery. The food was generally good. I had four main meals, one was simple, and the other three were rich and self-service, with meat and vegetables, moderately salty. Breakfast is a little simple, with juice, milk, bread slices, etc. You don't have to pay extra for the fried eggs you want. Drinking water is provided for each meal and is provided by yourself. The service attitude is also OK.

We stayed 5 days and 4 nights at the Funky, the best thing the Resort has is the Staff. Amazing food the best in Fiji. The facilities are rustic but are fine for the price that is handled in Fiji. Most of the activities are off the beach. That is a strategic point to move. The bad thing is its cleanliness, for example in the 5 days they never changed our towels, in fact we left them on purpose so they could take them away and nothing. A little more love to the facilities would help the staff who do magic to maintain everything.

We had a good time nice location But other than surfing it offered little for our tastes Friendly and youthful staff Good food

Like everything in life, you get what you pay for. It is the most affordable place on the island but it is extremely modest. They should tell you to bring your own towel-one thread bare towel provided but no wash cloth, hand towel or hair dryer available. They told us they had surf boards for us to rent in our desired sizes and shapes but WRONG. They did not so we wasted our whole first day and couldn't surf. That alone was very frustrating. Very nice staff but personally I wouldn't go back.

Almost all staffs are kind and nice people. The facility is simple but it's fair for the price and clean. The food is simple too but is also good. My problem there was with the manager. He seems to want all the control of what people will get as taxi boat or day trips. As we are in a island, the only way to go out the resort is through the boat. We have to organize with the manager and everything that he books get late for begin and for pick up you at some place. And when we try to book something takes ages to get confirmation and when we try to ask something they don't have anything to say. Very disorganized. The first thing was that he said that don't have the big boat to pick up us in the main port to the resort in the arrival because we arrive after hour. It cost us double of the price to get the private boat from the resort that keep us waiting more than 30 min in other port that wasn't the main one. After all this, we discovery that had big boat from the main island in different hours and half of the price that we paid. Second: we were there, as i said, island, not much phone service and the only way to move is get the boat. All our day trips booked with him got late. The worst one was in our last day we booked with him the cloud 9 trip from 2pm to 6pm. The boat he booked arrived 15min late so we arrived after the hour we booked and when was 6pm no one appear to pick up us. The cloud 9 closes at 6pm and just us stayed there waiting for more then 50 min until someone pick up us. And someone just picked up because the cloud 9 crew called someone to help us. When we arrived at the resort i spoke with the manager about it and he was very rude and said the hour of our pick up for the next day, only. He didn't apologies, he didn't say anything about let us waiting 50 min with the cloud 9 closed. Also, the the pick up to leave the resort to the airport got late too. But we manage to arrive in the Musket resort that helped us and organize our return to the main port. Staffs from Cloud 9 and other resorts said that it often happen. It's not the first time. Apparently the manager try to get everything for him, book more than one group with the same boat and someone stay waiting. Worst service ever. I do not recommend this resort to anyone. Specially because you are in a island and need the boat for leave to any place. Check the reviews and go to a place that treat you with respect and follow the agreement. Funky fish resort don't have respect with the customers and don't follow the agreement.

If you're visiting Fiji to surf and are trying not to break your budget, the Funky Fish is your spot. The staff is AMAZING - they are so attentive, and want to make your stay the best it can be. I was traveling with a group of friends, and our other accommodation got delayed due to rain. Within 2 hours of reaching out to the Funky Fish, we were on a bus headed to their boat to transport us to Malolo island. They provided a level of service I'd expect from a luxury property (which this is not, but that is ok). We stayed in the air conditioned rooms at the top of the hill. It's everything you need for a surf trip - a good bed, a shower, a sink, and a place for your boards and swimsuits to dry. The included meals are also great, the pool is fab, and the drinks were delish. 10/10 would recommend for the right traveler.

The best resort for the Malolo island . It cost nothing as the food is fantastic and the Fijian people are so friendly lovely people we were looked after like kings and queens. We met so many great people and we treasure the memories. Definitely going back. You don’t need to stay at a 5 star resort to have a fantastic time. Everything you want to do and see they will take you anywhere. And tumeuli the manager is the best . Anything you need he will get . Thanks Pete and Mandy .

Beautiful area, lovely little huts, relaxing experience. Food was great. Good value for money.

** A Real Review For 2023 - 2024 ** ** Save Your Sanity Go Somewhere Else ** Funky Fish in its current state is NOT worth your money. You will leave disappointed and be miserable during your stay. Summary: Food is Terrible Management and Front of House are clowns The Rooms are Depressing and Dirty The Views and grounds keepers are nice. The Good : The view from the bungalows are absolutely beautiful to wake up to. It's in close proximity to cloud 9 , cast away Island, honey moon island (snorkeling) and cloud break (surfing). The grounds keepers are super friendly. But " DONT " let a few good things fool you. The Bad : The First problem : The management & Front of house are absolute monkeys and have no clue what they are doing. They have no respect for the guest. Something as simple as arranging to go snorkeling or go to cloud 9 could take you days to get a conformation if ever, and if you ever confront them about any issues they " WILL " just walk away mid sentence. The Food : it is a joke, you are paying to have meals included, but unless you love your food covered in oily grease , cooked in an unclean kitchen or taste like utter garbage then you will not enjoy the food. There is NO MENU they will serve you what ever random things they cook up. They day we arrived lunch was soggy rice , a putrid seafood and cream dish and greasy noodles thats it. The Room: From the out side the room looks nice but inside is a grey box of despair, no décor , grey walls on all sides with just a Bible in the corner. The sheets and towels were always dirty or had stains of blood or brown on them bed bugs are included, the bathroom does its job besides the shower not draining. Please take this advice Save your self a lot of money and misery and find another Resort.

Did not get a key despite requesting. Pool not available and not notified. Rodents. Trash on beach. Left a day earlier than reservation
