Ratu Kini Backpackers & Dive Resort

瑪那島下船棧橋的右側第一家就是Ratu kini背包客度假村。度假村的房間夠大，設施一般，沒有WI-FI。中國移動的全球通，在島上可以用，4G信號，1元/M，每天30元封頂。 度假村在土著村落旁，附近還有一所小學。夜晚風聲、水聲，還有羣狗的吠聲。沒有毯被，衹有一層單子，晚上會感覺有點涼。 瑪那島的沙灘都是銀色細沙，島的兩側各有近千米海灘，海水清澈見底。在Mana的時候，並不覺得稀奇，以為斐濟所有的海灘都這樣。回到維提島（主島）Blue Water酒店附近的Wailoaloa Beach看了一眼。兩廂對比，瑪那島的海灘好的不是一點半點，是天壤之別。

I have spent two nights here. I was travelling with a group. I stayed in a 2 rooms beach front bungalow. The other people of the group were placed in a dorm and in a double room. All three accommodations were perfect! Clean, comfortable beds, private bathroom, hot water. Wifi is available at the restaurant and at the reception. Food at the restaurant was delicious!!! To consider that you won't find all drinks, just beers and some sodas. Rain water is available to refill your bottle. They offer nice daily excursion at a good price. The real plus are the people! They are all sweet helpful people that really made us feel at home! I recommend this place and I hope to visit Ratu kini again soon.

Very different experience than the Yasawa islands. There was no one around so couldn’t do the tours. You can go down the beach and do the tours with the big resort but they are 2-3x price. No menu for food so you just have to ask for what you want and see if they have it/can make it. No chairs for lounging in the sun. Wi-Fi is very weak. Lots of bugs around / the dogs have flees and ticks. I would stay here if you want the local Fiji experience with nothing fancy.

What a magical experience this was. The locals living on the island are so friendly and welcoming it gives great vibes. The food was excellent and we felt very at home even after 2 days. The snorkelling experience with Paula will forever be the greatest experience and he was the most genuine guy! Thank you to all for making our experience 10/10

Just came back from Ratu Kini after spending there 4 days with my teenage daughter. We had the family cottage- two rooms with shower and toilet in each and a common area. The cottage was very basic but quite clean and perfect for our needs. Overall, Ratu Kini resort is integrated into a small village, the only one on the island, so plenty of dogs and kids running around. The food was ok, limited choice of menu every lunch and dinner. The prices- same as in NZ or Australia which was a shock to me (min wages in Fiji are 4$!) but it seems that all of Fiji is very expensive for tourists. The staff-very friendly and always smiling, real pleasure. The beach- we were there during the Survivor filming so most of the island was off limits. However, we still had about 3-400 meters of beach and could go around the island on a kayak or a paddle board, just couldn't land on the other beaches. The beach in front of the resort is not the cleanest- plenty of bottles, plastic and broken glass. The snorkeling and swimming was quite nice when the weather was calm. Really enjoyed the snorkeling trip to the Sandbar. Castaway Island was ok. Took Ratu Kini boat both ways. Paul the Captain is fun and a great guy. The boat broke down on the return trip, we had to catch the flight home that evening and also getting stuck in the middle of the sea was not really appealing but Paul managed to get it running finally. Bottom line- we enjoyed our stay but doubt I will be back to Fiji- everything is just way too expensive! SE Asia offers much better value for money.

We had a fab time at Ratu Kini, would recommend. Great location with coral reefs surrounding the island. We did our PADI open water dive course with Instructor Tuks which was great and had an amazing time exploring the reefs around the island. Snorkelling is great just off the beach in front of the hostel. We stayed in a beachside cabin which was fab and pleasantly surprised by hot shower and AC. Staff lovely, friendly, and made a real effort. V good value for money. Social evenings with live music every night

Hello ! I travel to Fiji quite often however this is one of the BEST places I have ever stayed at before! For those looking to experience Fiji but on a bit of a budget, I cannot recommend Ratu Kini enough!!!! I travelled with a large group of friends, and the staff were so friendly and accommodating towards our wishes, dietary requirements and overall stay. Though this place is considered a 'hostel' I was amazed at how clean and well kept the private rooms were. We stayed in the beachfront cottages which were spacious and clean! Additionally, the views from the verandah and close access to the beach were spectacular. Brian, Manni, Paul and Mare were all so helpful with organising our daily adventures, food, drinks and activities whilst allowing us to party from time to time haha. The food available was reasonably priced for how large and delicious they were, along with the free breakfast on offer. There is wifi available in the reception area, however, I would recommend buying a sim card so that your connection works well in your rooms as well. Mostly I cannot recommend this place enough due to the amazing hospitality of the staff who work here, I believe that they made our trip so special and something we will look back on with such happy memories. Overall, It was such an amazing experience and I cannot wait to return soon as I am missing this place already. Vinaka !! (miss u brian)

Nice place to stay for snorkeling, diving or just visiting Mamanuca Islands. Of course it need some renovation ( what started this month ), but the staff was amazing and location is the best . Highly recommended.

My wife and I finished our Open Water certification here after completing our theory and confined water dives in California. Couldn't be happier with this choice! Our instructor Tuks and the entire staff were simply amazing. Tuks did a fantastic job of incorporating the skills we had to practice for the course with realistic dives that allowed us to both see things and feel much more comfortable in the water. We did another 4 dives with them afterwards and were able to explore more of the 20+ dive sites around Mana. If you are considering a diving vacation or just want to explore diving and you are on Mana, I'd highly recommend checking out Ratu Kini.
