章魚度假村(Octopus Resort)

Great resort and tucked away from everything. Beach gorgeous and beautiful blue water. Staff were accommodating and friendly. Villa hut we stayed in was cute with a outside shower. Food was delicious.

Siamo rimasti contenti di aver scelto octopus Location meravigliosa Servizi ottimi e lo staff gentilissimo e amichevole Veramente un bel posto da consigliare

Everything about this resort was wonderful. "Resort" here is not what you'd envision from typical American, Mexican, or Caribbean resorts. It's more of a remote, primitive grouping of around 20 beach or garden huts scattered on a private and quiet stretch of the island, far from anything and everything. Just outside this small resort is a local village where about 350 villagers live, several of whom work at Octopus. To get to the village, one must pass across to the other side of the island, walking through dense bush in a very remote setting. But that experience alone is an unforgettable memory in and of itself. I spent just a night here and two days enjoying my beachfront bure, lounging in the hammock, walking through the soft white sand, and snorkeling with the most colorful fish and bright reefs—it was all perfect. The highlight, of course, was the visit to the local village—Nalauwaki Village—where the people live very differently than we do, yet have such a wonderful place to call home. They wake up next to a vibrant sea, where they can catch fresh fish daily. They live on an island meant for postcards with bush, mountains, and perfect beaches. Despite their different lifestyle, they are happy, kind, and content—a quest many of us in America chase daily. My beachfront bure was excellent. #16 - request that one! From an outdoor bathroom to a private deck, hammock, beach bed and loungers everything was terrific. I will be back!

We stayed in early January in a family beachfront bure with our two boys (aged 9 & 11). The beachfront accommodation is highly recommended. The hard choices are deciding between the deck, bed or lounge sitting just metres from the ocean in front of the property. The beach itself has golden sand and is surrounded by palm trees and has a reef just off shore. The food is excellent - the menu changes every couple of days - and the beachside bar is a great spot for sundowners. Octopus is a low key resort - there are activities through the day - however as a suggestion there could be a few more aimed at kids older than 5 or 6. The new games room - which opened when we were there - is a great first start.

Our family of 3 stayed there for 2 nights after spending 6 nights at Barefoot Manta resort in early October. I booked a Family beach front bure on their website because other booking site did not have this room category available. I had to send a request for booking first then they confirmed the availability and I paid non-refundable deposit. However upon check in we were given a point beachfront suite, a 2 room bure, which shares a balcony with the Bure next door, and people walk pass our room to get to their room, hence no privacy at all. I knew this before based on reviews so I would not have booked this resort if the family beachfront bure was not available. I complained to the manager on site but was told there was no availability for the family beachfront bure or any other more private bure. They insisted it was not their fault as the office in UK did room allocation. They offer me a free credit for a bottle of wine but I was not happy given that we paid US$1800 for 2 nights stay with mandatory meals and transfer and did not get what we paid for. They should not have accepted my booking request to begin with if they sold out the room category! I wrote an email to the main office but did not receive any reply. Shocking, awful management, I feel we were deceived. Oh the snorkeling was also disappointing as the beach was very rough for both days. We had much better time at other resort which was half the price with much better reef with better service.
