Wonderful & thoughtful accommodation. Bures are exceptional with crafted Fijian decor and comfy extras - like double hammock, sun loungers and Adirondack recliners on porch - ceiling fans and AC. Food plan (included) was very generous, delicious and varied. All the staff were gracious , helpful and put you in the Bula spirit! An interesting island area with history and charm plus a gorgeous bay, pools. beach and boating / snorkel or diving options. Didn’t want to leave!!

My boyfriend & I stayed at Musket Cove for 2 nights. Overall, we enjoyed our stay in a beachfront bure. The house was spacious & the view was great. However, we had an issue with bugs in the room, which made the stay unpleasant. When we first arrived, we noticed a large amount of ants on the wall, bed, bar, & night tables. We alerted the front desk, & someone came in & cleaned the wall & changed the bed linens. However, when we returned to the room a short while later, the ants were back. We ended up moving the bed away from the wall, which seemed to help keep them off the bed. However, there were still many ants on the bar & tables. This made these areas unusable. We did alert the front desk but we were told it was part of island living. However, in speaking with other guests in the same accommodation type as us, we learned that they did not share this experience. The situation was never resolved & this was truly disappointing.

Our stay included the meal plan. We enjoyed the pizza from the restaurant near the front desk & the seafood night buffet from the main restaurant. We found the other meals to be average.

We spent a lot of time in the \"quiet\" pool & enjoyed the zen vibes there, as well as the activities offered at the resort.

On this trip, we stayed at 5 different resorts in Fiji. At most of the resorts, we were impressed by the Fijian hospitality & friendliness. While we met some lovely people at Musket Cove, we found the warmth/friendliness to be hit or miss.

We stayed for 6 days but had a cyclone for 2 days so services were somewhat disrupted. There was limited information from the staff about what we should do during this cyclone other than stay in your room.

The bure we stayed in was lovely and the food was great, but perhaps Fiji time is not for us. Everyone was just in their own world. We couldn't get straight answers about services or prices, and at dinner asking for water took several requests and sometimes you got it and sometimes you didn't.

We travelled specifically to surf and again couldn't accurate advice. The time Musket did organise a boat to take us to the reef with one of their contractors, the captain had no idea which reef was best that day and the price charged was different than we were told prior. When I pointed this out, the woman at Musket Cove water sports, was rude and told us she would have to pay the difference if we didn't agree to the higher payment.

Subsequently we walked down to Plantation Island water sports and got a straight answer about prices, times and which reefs were best for the day. Any surfers at Musket, I would recommend organising with Plantation as they know what they are talking about and will pick you up in a boat at Musket.

Overall I think if you want to go to an island and drink and lay by the pool with a book, this is a good option. However if you would like to be active - use a gym, play tennis or surf etc on your vacation, then it's probably not the right place.

We arrived at musketcove with 2 young girls under the age of 4.
Instantly we knew this place was not a place for young children although both Expedia and musket cove suggest family friendly.
The pool is far too deep but the whole area feels like a retirement village with signage that says quiet area and no shouting etc. once again not good for kids.
We stayed in a garden bure which was a walk across a damp field to enter.
The room was extremely tired with no wifi access nor a tv.
The door barely closed with gaps all around which filled our room with mosquitos for the night.

We got up early and went to the breakfast buffet only to realise this to was below average for such a highly rated resort
This was not the family vacation we were after or expected especially for the price we paid and what the photos and comments suggested

I tried to reconcile with management as we were booked for another 3 nights but was met with “non refundable” and other excuses

I’m writing this in hope it finds another young family excited for a family holiday and deters them from the same disappointment and heartache we experienced

The staff are lovely but management have no conscience

Warm, welcoming, and outstanding from arrival to departure. The staff at Musket are, in our opinion, the BEST of all the island resorts we've visited, and always seemed to make and take the time to add a personal touch - nothing was ever a problem. There is something at Musket for every age and life stage. Daily snorkeling out at the sandbar, the beauty of a relatively large tropical island to explore on foot, and laidback BBQ's at Island Bar are stand-out memories for us that will also keep us returning and choosing Musket over the other resorts - but truly, these are only the highlights, because Musket is an All Star Cast of continually great moments. The food selection and quality is very good. Despite high occupancy, you never feel like the place is crowded as it is so well designed. We've stayed in both the Lagoon Bure (our first visit, with adult children in a separate bure) and Garden Bure, and both were tastefully appointed rooms that were thoughtful in their design and functional layout, generous in proportion, and offering good privacy from \"neighbours\" in other bures. So impressed, we've booked to return again this year! Thank you Musket Cove for a beautiful holiday, and see you again soon. Vinaka.

The room was clean, the staff was very nice and offered a \"Bula\" at every turn. The pool seemed a little run down and could use some repairs. There are few places to snorkel by just walking out to certain areas. We actually saw a moray eel. The hobo cat is free to use, but if you would like some instruction for a bit, it will cost. \"All inclusive\" can mean different things. Here it means the meals are free, but drinks of any kind do cost.

A fantastic business model, but a terrible hotel. For AU$900 a night I would save your hard earned cash and go elsewhere. We are genuinely shocked that a hotel of this calibre can charge this much - having visited, it should be worth about half that price in our estimation.

Inedible food that gets recycled from lunch to dinner. Half the facilities are out of use. The staff are disinterested, sometimes to the point of sarcastic. Who can blame them, they are captaining a sinking ship.

The owners are clearly sucking out the last from their cash cow before it runs dry.

We arrived on the last boat so it was dark and I couldn't fully grasp the resort and its layout. Thankfully the light of day made it so much better. The pool is large and warm and never over crowded. Its more of a grownup resort as the one next door caters to families. The air con in the rooms does its job but make sure you keep your wooden blinds closed! There aren't any glass on windows just screens and wooden slats. Garden bure was spacious and cleaned daily. We loved the free daily boat trip to snorkel at the nearby sandbar. It made my holiday! Gorgeous in every way! Very happy with our decision to try Musket Cove. We stayed 4 days and it was perfect. Found a few walks to do around island to stay active when all the lounging and eating got too much.

Relaxing and Beautiful Island Getaway – Perfect for Water Lovers!
Musket Cove Island Resort is an absolutely beautiful and peaceful retreat, set on a small island that feels like your own private paradise. One of the best things about staying here is that all meals are included in the rates, which makes your stay completely hassle-free — no need to worry about extra costs or planning where to eat each day.
The resort isn’t overly crowded, which makes it perfect for those looking for tranquility and space to unwind. There’s no Wi-Fi in the rooms, which actually turned out to be a blessing — it encourages you to truly disconnect, relax, and enjoy the stunning beaches, crystal-clear waters, and the serenity of island life.
If you love the ocean, this is the ideal spot. The resort offers amazing swimming, snorkeling, fishing, and a variety of other water sports right at your doorstep. Plus, the location is perfect for day trips to nearby islands, where you can experience even more activities like surfing, sport fishing, diving, and more.
Musket Cove is the kind of place where you can slow down, soak in the beauty of nature, and create unforgettable memories. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a peaceful, authentic island escape!

This was such a cool place. It was spread out enough to feel big, but very easy to walk from your bure to the different dining areas and pool. We were skeptical the bure would stay cold with the air conditioning running but the windows were screens with wooden blinds, but they did! The garden bure had everything we needed for our stay. Our favorite part was the complimentary daily snorkel trip. I planned my day around it. We don't need to book any other activities beyond this perfect daily excursion. The food was great and more than enough. Staff are very friendly.

This is a much quieter resort than its neighboring resort. If you have children that want to participate in a kids club or go swimming at the beach at their own resort then this is probably not the right place for you. It's not kid focused but is child friendly. They rent bikes for a fee, which is pretty high per day, it would be better if they were included. They do not have a swimmable beach until the tide comes in. You can access the beach at the resort next door. We spent 3 nights here and had a good time with the exception of a couple employees that were not very kind particularly when renting the bikes (Ruth) and at check out (Tali). Those small interactions really soured the experience. I wanted to love it, but I just liked it.

The property was well laid out, with spacious accommodation offering privacy and peaceful spaces to enjoy. Plenty of included activities at the resort including 2 salt water pools, along with the ability to explore the island outside of the resort. Staff are very welcoming and friendly and show case the very best of Fiji's famous culture. The general store located next to reception acts as the islands main supermarket and contains a limited but varied array of staple products (no alcohol). The Island Bar is a must and gives \"castaway\" vibes. Daily changing buffets and menus at \"Dicks place\" were simple but very fresh and tasty, with the cafe a nice alternative for meals.

Great location, awesome food and staff!

Beautiful location and peaceful. The staff were super friendly. The staffing singing and playing guitar upon arrival was such a nice touch and welcoming. The food is delicious even for an all inclusive place so very impressive. It's much quieter than plantation island resort next door but the beach is more tidel so swimming was best at the plantation island resort (not a far walk though and can access anytime). The pool needs work and upgrade (cracking tile) but the setting is beautiful (sunset direction) and the covered seating area adjacent was awesome to use for relaxation and live music every night. There weren't enough loungers (16 in total) so often didn't have a place to lay by the pool unfortunately. The huts were lovely, basic and dated but the setting was splendid so no bother. There were enough activities to do book (snorkeling trips) that was nice to do since you can't access amazing reefs from the resort.

Musket Cove was a really cool experience since its on its own island, so if you like isolation and only hanging around the resort this would be your place. If you like doing activities on the main island then this is definitely not your place since the ferry ride to the main island and Port Denarau is about 1 hour long and was quite costly per person ($200 Fijian per person or something like that). We stayed in the Lagoon Bure and my two complaints about it were there were ants on the ceiling you could clearly see crawling around which was kinda gross and the lagoon itself was technically overwater but not really since you could not jump in the water (it looked pretty muddy). Staff were lovely and meals were all included though, most drinks were not so be aware of that extra cost.

What an amazing place! We visited a few other resorts on our trip and this was by far the best. The food was fantastic with lots of choices for my picky 6yr old. The rooms were spacious and spotless. The wildlife and snorkelling were exceptional. And the staff were genuinely warm and kind - they went over and above to make us comfortable and happy. We would love to visit again in the future :)
The one thing I'd love to see them do better (not just this resort but all resorts in Fiji) is educate visitors about caring for the coral. We saw a lot of tourists stepping on and breaking the coral whilst snorkelling. I worry that the reefs won't stay pristine for long if people keep doing that.

We had the best time - loving all aspects of the resort from the location on a palm tree beach, the clear and warm water, our beachfront bure, the service, the choice of 2 restaurants and the AMAZING STAFF and music. The entertainment was so magical and we simply loved it.
This is a luxurious resort but not as 'posh' as the adults only resorts - for us the best of both worlds - as we stayed in an adults only area, enjoyed the quiet beach (there weren't many kids here as there isn't a kids club) but also loved the authenticity of the entertainment and the fact that it was great fun - we had so many laughs - dancing bare foot to the band on Sunday night, enjoying a jamming sing along session with the wonderful guitarist on Friday and Sat nights, watching the whole restaurant team sing their traditional songs and so on - can't recommend highly enough:)

This is one hotel that I would highly recommend because of their top class Fijian hospitality. Here I tasted the true Fijian authentic food which I failed to see in other resorts that we’ve stayed-in in Fiji.
The service from front desk to the bar and restaurant were world class and the activities team were always ready to provide any type of daily activities you want to do. Whether its aqua or land activities. Your daily Meals | Brea-fast/lunch/dinner are included in your room cost.

Lovely holiday needs fine tuning

Staff were just lovely
We had really bad weather for 4 days heavy rain which caused quite a mess around the island -just unfortunate no fault of the resort and gave the staff a lot of cleaning up to do
Food was really nice however the resort states on line and also in the welcome paperwork that the main restaurant has a buffet or you can order from an al a carte menu
However this was not the case as there was only the buffet or go to the traders cafe
When we were advised on night one that there was only a buffet I just assumed it was due to it being 23/12 and so close to Xmas
I did check after Xmas with reception who advised that I was correct there was either a buffet of a la carte menu
On the 4th night I was not happy with the style of buffet and asked again for the a la carte menu to be told there was not one
However they could make me something
Great but that was a disaster
I was asked if I would like seafood to which I replied yes if it was the slipper lobster from the night before
The staff member checked with the kitchen who said yes it would be about an hour
No problem I said but an hour later when the meal arrived it was 2 scallops, fine I like those, plus a heap of mussels and unshelled prawns. I was going to go to the buffet but my husband did advise the waiter that I did not like what they had brought and it was not what they offered me.
It put the wait staff in a very uncomfortable position
They just need to learn communication and get things right

Underwhelming

Wildly expensive for an average resort.
Some staff made an effort others did not, inconsistent levels of hospitality. Unlike other resorts staff didn’t make an effort to get to know your name.
Mission impossible to get pool towels or swap them for dry ones. There were none in our room. Was told room service would provide as part of daily clean, except they didn’t. When addressed with reception they had 4 towels sent to pool area but they couldn’t find us. Just seemed a really difficult way to do something so simple.

Resort is spread out so factor in walking. No information book in room to get familiar with resort (how to book spa, hire a bicycle, activity schedule, etc). On check out no one asking how your stay was.
Had expected top notch hospitality for price we paid.

The pizza I ordered inedible as it was just a pile of cheese. Unfortunately my husband and I both got sick at the same time after eating the fish curry for lunch at Dicks.
The pool bar was never staffed during our entire stay and the pool was too warm to swim in.

Hit and Miss

Overall, we had an enjoyable stay. The beachfront bure was nicely decorated, very large and overlooking the beach and ocean. We especially loved sitting on the patio enjoying the view. The staff was friendly and the pool was a nice spot to relax. However, the food was not great. The fish appeared to be frozen (surprising for an island) and the breakfast was the same underwhelming items day after day. There was the option to order eggs but they messed up my order so many times that I stopped ordering. Also, the first day, they had an abundance of fresh lilikoi and mango, but after that, it was the standard honeydew, pineapple, and watermelon. The Indian-themed night was delicious, but otherwise, we did not really enjoy the food. There's nowhere else to really eat except the island, especially if you get the all-inclusive package, so that detracted from the vacation. The hotel runs daily activities and tours, which were a nice option to get out and about. We enjoyed the complimentary kava ceremony and daily music. However, others were pricy for what they were. For example, the island hopping tour included dropping us off at Castaway Island for two hours and a little bit of snorkeling for 170FJ. Also, the sheets were very rough (my partner called them sandpaper) and there was broken glass in our shower upon arrival. Lastly, we were supposed to get a free bottle of wine on arrival, which was not there and we ended up having to ask twice to finally have it delivered.

LOVED this resort! Stayed in a beachfront bure and it was beautiful - very spacious, clean, comfortable bed, and just steps from the beach with a beautiful view. Staff were super friendly and helpful, singers in the lounge and live band at the island bar were fantastic. Loved the casual, relaxed, island vibes. Loved having the grocery store on site too. If you are a reader though, need to bring your own books as there is no library, only books for sale. The only thing that we were missing was wifi in the room, had to go to the restaurants or lobby to get wifi. For us Canadians, it was very hot/humid, but being oceanfront we had a decent breeze. Had we had a room that was more inland it might have been too hot to sit outside. But air conditioning in the room was good. Would absolutely love to stay here again!

It was great to have the food all inclusive in the price - which had an extensive eating options to choose from at both restaurants. Wish I could have stayed longer.

Musket Cove was an absolute delight to stay at. It was always clean, the food was beautiful and the employees were welcoming and accommodating. Our room had everything we needed for a baby and the facilities were great to keep our family entertained. Musket Cove is a bit smaller than Plantation but this made it feel cosy and had more of a community vibe without sacrificing on the quality of the experience. Highly recommend this Resort and would definitely stay again!

We had to take the meal plan with no choice
We’re vegetarian and there was no options for us
The buffet breakfast was last night’s reheated food and it was awful
Lunch choices for us we’re a lettuce with a tiny tomato
Dinner was better but definitely not 4 star
The pool ladies toilet was disgusting and the seat should have been destroyed because it was beyond filthy
The beachfront Bure we had was the only redeeming factor but smelled badly

Musket Cove was a short ferry ride to beautiful Malolo Lailai island. The staff was amazing starting with a warm musical welcome. Grace was our host that checked us in and showed us around the resort. We arrived early, so she made sure we had a shady cabana by the pool which included lunch. We enjoyed the food at both restaurants and the buffet had a variety of food every evening. The bay in front of the resort was great for paddle boarding, kayaking, hobby cats, snorkeling and ocean walks at low tide. Don’t forget to book a massage on the pier. The beach front bure we stayed in was so nice with open air feeling with screens and louver. If you wanted the air conditioning, you closed up louvers and enjoyed the cool air conditioning. It had a large bathroom and sitting area with a kitchenette supplied with bottle water and filtered water for coffee or tea. They also have a small convenient store for things you may have forgotten or want to cook in your unit. My on recommendation would be to have a clothesline or drying rack in the bathroom or behind the bure for your wet items. When your trip is over, the staff sings as you depart on the ferry. Would highly recommend this casual, friendly, well maintained and comfortable resort.

The resort compound is beautiful and the houses located at the lagoon are beautiful. However, we had serious problems with mosquitos. Also, the amenities were somewhat run down, the food rather simple and the staff while friendly didn't pay much attention to the guests.

Maybe more beautiful than the pictures online. 5 star tropical island. Trips snorkeling a must. Be prepared to go up a dress size, as food is delicious and in abundance. Staff couldn’t be more friendly or helpful. Loved it, very romantic.
