Vomo Island Resort

This was the 2nd time we have been to VOMO as we loved it so much the first we had to return. The service is excellent and they will go out of their way to do everything they can to make your stay more comfortable. The food was excellent, the room was comfortable and always clean and tidy. The highlight of our trip was learning to dive - my wife and I completed our Open Water Certificate last year with Hannah and made the decision to return to complete our Advanced Open Water. Hannah was extremely organised and came and found us on our arrival day to sit down to introduce herself and devise a plan for the week including selecting from some incredible dive sites. She was an exceptional teacher, clearly explaining everything required and patiently working with us to improve our diving. It was very clear the passion she brought to her work and to conservation of the reef. We felt extremely safe diving for the first time with Hannah guiding us - so much so that my wife and I decided she was the only person we wanted to do our Advanced Open Water with.

We loved that VOMO truly offers a break for families—no cooking, cleaning, laundry, or decisions needed! It’s a charming and beautiful boutique property with an intimate feel, accommodating around 130 guests and everyone is friendly and up for a chat. The food was of a high standard however, if you have dietary restrictions, be cautious. As someone with celiac disease, I was initially impressed by being provided with a dedicated gluten-free menu. Unfortunately, I was served regular bread by mistake, which left me seriously ill for days. Overall the staff are very friendly (we loved Olivia) and attentive though, service is still pretty slow. Food wait times averaged around 45 mins and it took 3hrs to get bottles of water to our room. Though I understand this is part of the relaxed “Fiji time” experience. Lastly, we had hoped for a warm, nurturing Fijian nanny for our children, but the nanny assigned to us (Lipa) never smiled and didn’t engage well with the kids.

Bula My family has just returned from our 3rd visit to the island paradise Vomo.There really are no adequate words to describe this magical place. From the smooth transfers (trip organised by the fabulous Kate from ‘Fiji for Families’) to arrival on the island. Vomo driver waiting at Nadi airport for us - off we go to Vuda marina - oh yes ! Our very comfortable Vomo boat is waiting for us and it’s even birthed sideways - so it’s easy for me to get on board.I have mobility issues so this is a great start. Very smooth trip to Vomo ( about 45 mins ) and we approach the side of the island where our amazing Beachouse residence awaits us. We can see some of the staff waiting and singing for us - oh no ! I’m crying even before we transfer to tinny to get to the actual beach. Lots of help to get me into tinny. Easy to get off tinny as a flap comes down and you walk straight onto the sand. Oh joy oh bliss ! Here comes Semi our Butler from our last visit. Hugs all round - we are all helped straight up to the Beachouse. Here comes Justin the Manager to greet us and we also meet Tim ( guest liaison manager). Our bags arrive and we settle in knowing we will be in heaven for the next 7 days. We know quite a few staff from previous visits and they all greet us like long lost friends. Semi later gets the Bula bus to take us to dinner. The food here is just incredible- every meal a standout -hats off to the chef Ajay and his team- there are enough choices to keep everyone happy and seafood aplenty. First night my husband gets the most amazing birthday cake and of course the birthday song by all the wait staff. Later we meet La our lovely housekeeper who keeps our house immaculate. Then we catch up with Moses one of the very helpful bus drivers- who also sings and is one of the main dancers at the Meke night ( also plays tambourine !) There has been some rain recently so gardens looking green and lush.All the staff extremely personable and big smiles and ‘Bulas’ everywhere you go. We are feeling very relaxed- hardly any decisions to be made except when and what to eat ! This place is the ultimate holiday destination in Fiji. We are the last group into dinner every night and the last to leave. We are enjoying the band so much.All members can sing and play guitar so well but Zac is a Maestro indeed. He brings the dining room to life and has the most amazing voice and charisma. How great is Joeli the handsome singing waiter- he looks so young but on our last day I discovered he has 5 children ! Semi our Butler is like a true friend and is like family to us- we love him dearly - nothing is too much trouble for him. He is so helpful to me getting around. Plus how great are the beds and those pillows ! Also having your washing done daily ! So much ( or little) to do here- kayaking, snorkelling and SUP- all part of your holiday deal. It was very hard to say goodbye on our last day - many tears shed and even more hugs. Off we go in the tinny- Semi and Zac come too- we raft up to the Vomo boat and all helped aboard - especially me. Another amazing holiday on the paradise called Vomo. No matter how great the scenery, food etc without the appropriate staff you have nothing - and this is where Vomo excels - the best most caring genuine staff in Fiji without a doubt.

This is our third trip to a resort on one of Fiji's outer islands. We spent 4 nights at VOMO Island Resort in early October 2024. Crystal clear waters, clear blue skies, and pristine white sands! VOMO guarantees a bespoke experience like no other. Reservation: A big shout out to everyone from Reservations team patiently explained to me every question in detail. Thanks for all the prompt reply emails and we have finally booked our magical escape at VOMO Island Resort. The Boat Transfer and Check-in: Although our boat transfer was significantly delayed, the staff from VOMO at Vuda Marina made excellent arrangements for us. We were able to enjoy meals at nearby restaurants and indulge in any food and drinks, including ice cream, from the shops around. Ocean Play: Snorkelling, Freediving and Scuba Diving: GREETINGS from the ocean floor! The best spot is just under VOMO Lailai!!! You'd be surprised at the wonders VOMO Lailai house reef has in store for you. With the house reef rich in vibrant marine life at VOMO Lailai, you are assured to discover something or someone new every day during your casual snorkelling. We have encountered all kinds of marine animals, Sea turtle, Anemonefish such as Tomato Clownfish and Clarks Clownfish; Blacktip and Whitetip sharks; Groupers; Trevally; Butterflyfish; Angelfish; Hawkfish; Surgeonfish; Triggerfish; Pufferfish; Boxfish; Unicornfish; Hind; Parrotfish; Sweetlips and Moorish Idol. Hannah Quigley, the Dive Manager, went above and beyond to address all our needs during our stay. Her respectful and attentive demeanour truly enhanced our experience at VOMO. The memories we created were even more special thanks to her prompt responses and her dedication to ensuring we had everything we requested. We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for her outstanding service. The experience of the daily snorkel safari was excellent; both the captain and the dive guide were very professional. BEACHFRONT VILLA #12 It had breathtaking panoramic ocean view and the seating area outside the room was spacious. We have found the perfect spot to relax while listening to the lapping waves. Lying in the beach hammock and spend away the mid-summer noon with your loved ones. Let yourself be treated to unparalleled panache and a dream filled thought made a reality only at VOMO. The Vuda Reef Restaurant and Vuda Bar: We were spoiled for choices at all-day. This is for a culinary experience worth cherishing for years. The breakfasts can be as blissful as it seems. Each dish served for both lunch and dinner are exquisite and delectable you can order whatever on the menu. Desserts are fabulous not to mention the extensive beverage selection served all day at Vuda Bar. Birthday Celebration We celebrated Lucy's birthday on the morning of our checkout day at The Reef Restaurant. The service team sang a birthday song and provided a beautiful chocolate cake. The Rocks Adult Oasis Sit down for a refreshing sip by the pool. Treat yourself to a one of kind thirst quenching drinks made just for you after a long sunny day at VOMO. Spend the afternoons by the main pool at VOMO, listening to the gentle rumble of the ocean under swaying palm trees. Pure Bliss and panache at its finest! Service team All the staff at the resort were very friendly and respectful in their role. Farewell Home away from Home! Welcome to your family’s exclusive wonderland. VOMO Island Resort is the perfect destination for families to relax and make memories for a lifetime. With a wide range of activities for all age groups and a fully equipped Kids Club for your little ones, this paradise assures you a fun filled family vacation. Time is irrelevant, the day is irrelevant, what is relevant are those moments! Those moments that you will cherish for years to come. What better way to relish those moments other than with your families at VOMO Island Resort. Waking up in paradise and embrace an experience like no other only at VOMO Island Resort! Suggestions for Improvement at VOMO Island Resort: First, I think the boat used for the transfer should be upgraded, as it does not match the hotel’s positioning. I believe it should be upgraded to a luxury yacht that can accommodate around 20 people, so guests can experience VOMO's high-end positioning right from the start. Second, the check-in time flexibility could be improved. According to international standards, check-in at 2 PM is fine, but it's disappointing that VOMO does not allow guests to arrive earlier and start experiencing the island. While it’s understandable that rooms may not be ready, the island is large enough for the hotel to offer an earlier boat transfer time. Guests could explore the island upon arrival, with their luggage stored in a designated area until the room is ready, and then proceed with the formal check-in at the reception. Third, I think the pool next to The Vuda Reef Restaurant is too small and should be expanded to accommodate children. Currently, the pool feels undersized and does not align with VOMO’s luxury image. During our stay, we noticed the pool was often crowded, and the children were not able to fully enjoy it. Adding a water slide and creating an integrated pool area would enhance the experience. Fourth, I would suggest installing a fan in the bathrooms of the Hill Villa and Beachfront Villa to help the air conditioning system cool the entire room faster. Often, the temperature in the bathroom is 1-2 degrees higher than in the bedroom. Additionally, the hair dryers could be upgraded to Dyson models for faster drying. I also found it surprising that the VOMO-branded bags provided in the room are not complimentary. It seems a bit stingy that the bag can only be used during the stay and must be purchased if guests wish to keep it. I believe gifting one VOMO bag per room would not be a significant cost. Fifth, I feel that the restaurant staff were sometimes slow to respond. I’m not sure if it was due to the school holidays and perhaps being very busy, but there were several occasions when we had to repeatedly remind the staff before our food was served. Additionally, the children's high chairs in the restaurant need to be updated, as many of the safety belts were either missing or broken, which poses a safety risk for children. I also think the breakfast buffet area requires a dedicated staff member to regularly check which foods need to be replenished. Often, when a specific item ran out, it wasn't restocked in a timely manner. Lastly, the most disappointing part of our trip was that, despite confirming with the reservation team that the room would be decorated, and a birthday cake and song would be provided during dinner on the birthday, this was forgotten. Instead, we received the cake and song on the morning of our checkout day. Tim handled this issue very well during our checkout, and I would like to thank him for his prompt handling and compensation. Please note that the above suggestions are based on my personal experience with luxury island travel, as well as my experience at VOMO. In my heart, I truly love VOMO Island, and I hope it can continue to improve, offering even better and higher standards of service to its guests. Vinaka and Warm Regards

We just returned from our third trip to Vomo. There is a reason why so many guests are returns guests. You couldn't possibly want anything more from a holiday. Beautiful beach, relaxing vibe (even when the resort is full you never feel it), excellent food (with great variety - after 10 days we never felt tired of the food) and amazing kids club. Justin, Melanie and their entire team do an amazing job at ensuring you have an outstanding stay. Kids club cater to all ages, they did an amazing job with our 8 and 10 year old boys.... we thought they would have outgrown it but Vomo have a crew of wonderful young men who keep the older boys active and entertained, which gave us much needed time out. We thought this would be our last trip to Vomo but we've already rebooked :)
