Mai Dive Astrolabe Reef Resort Reviews

The resort is located on remote Ono Island which makes it a very unique and local experience as its run by local Fijians. Delicious and fresh local food was prepared - 3 hearty meals each day. They even gave us fresh coconuts to drink from, had delicious local seafood every day and they prepared a LOVO, a traditional feast for us on our last day with fish, chicken, pork, lobster and many many sides. And it was just my husband and I! We went on 8 amazing dives and our dive master, Dee, was so amazing, taking us to different places each day to see a variety of places, fish and coral. She spotted and we watched the largest octopus she's seen in 4,000+ dives and took us to see the eagle rays since the manta rays weren't around that time of year. The boat rides and views were all picture perfect - such a serene and picturesque location away from crowds and tourists! A big vinaka to all of the staff (Tutu Joe, Joe, Dee, Ame, Nani, Joanna, Maria, Junior, and Elijah) who made our stay at Mai Dive so special.

If you are looking for a remote experience this is your place. There's no cars (access just by boat), no internet and almost no telephone coverage. What they do have is beautiful beaches with crystal clear waters, stunning corals and plenty of sea life. Perfect place for divers and snorkelers. The food is fantastic too. Just one remainder: be prepared for some bugs in the room. It's their home too.

We stayed at Mai Dive between December 24, 014 - Jan 1, 2015. It is a perfect paradise: location, staff, facilities and especially FOOD and DIVING and SNORKELING were absolutely superb.

Fabulous stay with amazing Fijian hospitality and the Astrolobe reef on the doorstep
