-Seaside bures were so lovely and cool even though no ac or wifi, the outdoor shower was beautiful -The staff are incredibly friendly and have made us want to come back just for kuata -The food was great with mostly buffet style. Not many options if you have diet restrictions though or allergies. -The dive team was super professional and did such a good job to help us all do a shark dive, we are super thankful. -I had a bad experience at the spa so I wouldn’t recommend it. -The Fiji night, signing dancing were all apart of giving us such a great experience. -The dining outside for dinner is super cute and romantic although no options if it rains. Highly recommend.

The resort is amazing, not only is the property beautiful and stunning but when you arrive you truly feel welcomed. But once you leave it’s a bittersweet goodbye. The staff really make your stay a home. The dive team at the dive shop are amazing and each and every single one are beyond special. Semi made my first dive experience memorable with the rest of the team.

nice stay at Barefoot Kuata
Stayed in a beachfront bure at Barefoot Kuata, and it was fantastic - very comfortable (super comfy bed), amazing outdoor bathroom, very clean, great airflow, and right on the beautiful beach. The staff were friendly and I was able to do the shark snorkel, which was good. Unfortunately I wasn't able to do the shark dive as it was booked up and there was only one day where it would have been possible for me, if it's something you're interested in I recommend booking it as soon as you're able- I heard it was incredible. Over my stay was great - the island is stunning, staff is friendly, and food was good (one night was a buffet, one night was a la carte). Snorkelling off the beach was great too, you have to go out a little ways but then it's very good. Reef sharks can be found there too. I'm really happy I went with the beach front bure, it was ideal!

We had a difficult stay at Barefoot Kuata however there were some aspects that were very enjoyable. The diving offered at the resort is fantastic and we spent an excellent morning doing the introductory shark dive. The diving staff were very friendly and competent and undoubtedly the highlight of the trip. The first room we stayed at (Garden Bure) fell well below expectation. The bathroom had not been cleaned properly and the entire room carried a strong smell of urine. The staff suggested this was because of the air freshener they use, but we were very skeptical of this and asked for a different room. We were given an ocean front bure and straight away could tell the air freshener was not the problem as the smell was absent. Unfortunately, this was the highlight of this second room. A big issue for us was there were some openings for lizards to enter into the bedroom and the outdoor shower / bathroom area felt very exposed. The pillows and the bed smelled musty and damp and in addition, the sunlounger just outside the bure also looked like it had a mould on it. All in all we felt the staff were great and tried to help us however the quality of the rooms made this a very underwhelming stay.

Loved the staff! They are very caring and make you feel like family :) the marine biologist is super charismatic and passionate about the marine life, and the man that led me for the scuba diving with sharks was so chill and kind as well. Would definitely recommend if looking for an adventure!

My boyfriend and I just returned from this beautiful and captivating island. The staff was absolutely fabulous and made us feel at home from the moment we got off the boat. They went above and beyond to meet our needs and satisfied every desire we expressed. The water was clear and the reef was incredible. We went snorkeling everyday! We also did the snorkeling with the sharks. It was amazing!! Thank you Samy, Frank, Allie, Butani, Lipue, Seta, Tim, Nathan, Nancy, Johnny, Jimmy, Ben, Solomon and Sir Paul! Miss each and everyone of you! We will be back!!

Barefoot Kuata Island Resort A+++++
I can not say enough great things about Barefoot Kuata. Anyone leaving negative feedback about this island clearly doesn't know how to appreciate Fiji. The staff was so friendly and really tried to make you feel part of their family. I stayed here for 4 days and everyone knew me on a first name basis and that made me feel so welcomed. I stayed in a beach front bure and it was absolutely amazing!!! I spent most of my time scuba diving here and the dive staff was exceptional! The shark dive was a blast and all of my fun dives were spectacular as well. It wasn't manta season yet but the underwater diversity was great. Snorkling right from the beach was great as well and usage of the kayaks, paddle boards and snorkel gear was included. There are a few different hikes you can do to explore the island as well which was nice. The food was great too. Buffet style and all you can eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Very relaxed atmosphere and the photos online do not do this place justice. Definetly make this island a stop along your journey, you won't regret it. Big thanks to all the management and staff for making my stay here one I will never forget:) Vinaka xoxo
