Naqalia was our favourite stay of our whole trip and mainly due to the staff. From the moment you arrive you are welcomed into the family and even get a bedtime hug! The food was delicious and you are encouraged to eat as much as physically possible 😂. Village visit was a great experience and shark snorkeling was a once in a lifetime experience. Thank you to the Naqalia family we miss you already ❤️

We loved our spacious bungalow only meters from a gorgeous beach, perfect for swimming and snorkeling! The amenities are simple, clean and functional. Cold water only, which we didn’t mind. The hosts are real gems: such friendly people who welcome you into their lives, but also allow you all privacy to do your own thing. Any special dietary needs were catered for, and everyone goes out of their way to make your stay special. They even arranged a personal afternoon boat pick-up from the mainland, as our flight got in too late for the public ferry. If you are after an authentic, no frill experience, i can only recommend Naqalia.

We had wonderful stay - so peaceful and relaxing. A bit windy when we stayed there, but house reef is protected and can be explored regardless. People who run it are very welcoming, warm and trying to please you. We felt like a part of family and would like to come back

Loved the staff! They are kind & very helpful! The food was all made fresh that day and served hot-they came to tell you when every meal was ready! The fresh fruit every day was amazing! (100fjd per day for all meals in addition to lodging). The beds were clean and mosquito nets provided. The beach, view from the beach and snorkeling just off the beach was stunning! Showers are brisk and refreshing! No warm water available.. Cell service is spotty and WiFi is 20fjd per day so is a great place to go off-grid for a few days :)

Great bure overlooking the ocean and swaying palm trees. The bed was super comfy and the water pressure was fantastic! All the staff were so kind, friendly and welcoming! We truly felt at home. They were attentive to making GF food as well and Sia made me a cassava cake that was so yummy. (Note fiji would be difficult to travel in as a celiac - I am not and can manage some gluten). What a great stay in a beautiful place.

We loved our stay in Naqalia. The staff was super friendly. The meals were excellent, and we were offered "more food. More food." The beach was ideal for snorkeling. We were lucky enough to visit two villages. This was my second stay here... it won't be my last.

Very authentic real Fijian people who are genuinely interested in you having the best time possible doing what you want to do. They want you to feel like it’s a home away from home and I wholeheartedly recommend it for people who don’t need or want a resort experience but want a real Fijian one

As soon as we stepped onto the boat we were greeted with a big smile from the wonderful Manager of Naqalia Lodge. Everyone there made us feel so welcome and treated us like family. There were two rules at Naqalia Lodge: 1. Eat as much as you can and 2. Wake up every day with a happy face. Pretty easy considering the outlook from our bungalow, the variety of delicious food and the beautiful, happy people who run Naqalia Lodge. The accomodation is basic so don’t come here if you are precious. Cold showers only. Our bed was huge and clean and comfortable. Whilst on their land, you are family. The reef is teeming with fish and colourful coral so snorkelling is a delight. There is a compulsory meal plan which was great value ( especially if you eat lots as you can go back and fill your plate until the food is gone!) Each day there is a different selection of delicious food, served buffet style. There is tea and coffee available all day and a cake or yummy treat left over from the morning meal which is available until it’s all eaten. You can drink their tank water ( we did with no problem). We had a fabulous time at Naqalia Lodge. We left with lots of happy memories, warm hearts ( and bigger bellies !!) and we will definitely be back again.

It's an interesting cross between a homestay and a resort. The beautiful welcoming staff made it a memorable stay in spite of the rough by western standards facilities. I'd go back!

The stay at Naqalia Lodge was amazing. Great staff and best food we had in Fiji. The food is buffet style and also has veggie options. The staff were super friendly and shared a lot of stories after dinner and at kava sessions. There were a lot of different activities that could be booked.

Lovely family who run the place, but quite fun down. Bungalows were built 20 years ago and have had no renovation. That said everything was functional. No cell signal except in 2 spots by the beach Very intermittently. No ac, no hot water, no locks for the doors. Food was basic but good and plenty of it. Reef shark feeding snokel activity was absolutley amazing. Hiking trails do not exist. Guide needed to hike. I was there alone for one night, then joined by a couple the next. Excellent place if you want peace and quiet

The Real Fiji

This is a place with true feeling. You get a real sense of being part of a Fijian family. Loved the beautiful singing to accompany a good variety of meals. Although old, the bures are spacious with lots of natural light and are progressively being renovated. We enjoyed relaxing, snorkeling and walking around the area. We would go back.
