Delicious Local Flavors

We had the option of the breakfast buffet each morning, which was a great way to kickstart our day. I highly recommend trying the local dishes, particularly the kokoda made with fresh coconut milk. It was a good culinary experience!

Exciting Water Activities

The variety of free water sports was fantastic! We spent afternoons kayaking and paddleboarding in the serene waters. My family also engaged in the paid activities like wakeboarding, which was thrilling and well worth it.

I had a wonderful holiday at Plantation Island Resort, with pristine beaches and several activities for the whole family. The rooms were modern and clean, which added to our overall comfort, though I believe the food options could use improvement. The service from the restaurant staff was exceptional, making our experience memorable. The resort has potential for even more with upcoming developments, but some issues with food quality and staff morale were noticeable.
