Vomo Island, Fiji — Hotel in Western

This is our third trip to a resort on one of Fiji's outer islands. We spent 4 nights at VOMO Island Resort in early October 2024. Crystal clear waters, clear blue skies, and pristine white sands! VOMO guarantees a bespoke experience like no other. ||Reservation:||A big shout out to everyone from Reservations team patiently explained to me every question in detail.|Thanks for all the prompt reply emails and we have finally booked our magical escape at VOMO Island Resort.||The Boat Transfer and Check-in:||Although our boat transfer was significantly delayed, the staff from VOMO at Vuda Marina made excellent arrangements for us. |We were able to enjoy meals at nearby restaurants and indulge in any food and drinks, including ice cream, from the shops around.||Ocean Play: Snorkelling, Freediving and Scuba Diving:||GREETINGS from the ocean floor! The best spot is just under VOMO Lailai!!!||You'd be surprised at the wonders VOMO Lailai house reef has in store for you.||With the house reef rich in vibrant marine life at VOMO Lailai, you are assured to discover something or someone new every day during your casual snorkelling. We have encountered all kinds of marine animals, Sea turtle, Anemonefish such as Tomato Clownfish and Clarks Clownfish; Blacktip and Whitetip sharks; Groupers; Trevally; Butterflyfish; Angelfish; Hawkfish; Surgeonfish; Triggerfish; Pufferfish; Boxfish; Unicornfish; Hind; Parrotfish; Sweetlips and Moorish Idol.||Hannah Quigley, the Dive Manager, went above and beyond to address all our needs during our stay. Her respectful and attentive demeanour truly enhanced our experience at VOMO. The memories we created were even more special thanks to her prompt responses and her dedication to ensuring we had everything we requested. We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for her outstanding service.||The experience of the daily snorkel safari was excellent; both the captain and the dive guide were very professional.||BEACHFRONT VILLA #12||It had breathtaking panoramic ocean view and the seating area outside the room was spacious.||We have found the perfect spot to relax while listening to the lapping waves. Lying in the beach hammock and spend away the mid-summer noon with your loved ones. |Let yourself be treated to unparalleled panache and a dream filled thought made a reality only at VOMO.||The Vuda Reef Restaurant and Vuda Bar:||We were spoiled for choices at all-day. This is for a culinary experience worth cherishing for years.|The breakfasts can be as blissful as it seems. Each dish served for both lunch and dinner are exquisite and delectable you can order whatever on the menu.|Desserts are fabulous not to mention the extensive beverage selection served all day at Vuda Bar.||Birthday Celebration||We celebrated Lucy's birthday on the morning of our checkout day at The Reef Restaurant. The service team sang a birthday song and provided a beautiful chocolate cake.||The Rocks Adult Oasis||Sit down for a refreshing sip by the pool. Treat yourself to a one of kind thirst quenching drinks made just for you after a long sunny day at VOMO.|Spend the afternoons by the main pool at VOMO, listening to the gentle rumble of the ocean under swaying palm trees. Pure Bliss and panache at its finest!||Service team||All the staff at the resort were very friendly and respectful in their role.||Farewell||Home away from Home! Welcome to your family’s exclusive wonderland.||VOMO Island Resort is the perfect destination for families to relax and make memories for a lifetime. With a wide range of activities for all age groups and a fully equipped Kids Club for your little ones, this paradise assures you a fun filled family vacation.||Time is irrelevant, the day is irrelevant, what is relevant are those moments! Those moments that you will cherish for years to come. What better way to relish those moments other than with your families at VOMO Island Resort.||Waking up in paradise and embrace an experience like no other only at VOMO Island Resort!||Suggestions for Improvement at VOMO Island Resort:||First, I think the boat used for the transfer should be upgraded, as it does not match the hotel’s positioning. I believe it should be upgraded to a luxury yacht that can accommodate around 20 people, so guests can experience VOMO's high-end positioning right from the start.||Second, the check-in time flexibility could be improved. According to international standards, check-in at 2 PM is fine, but it's disappointing that VOMO does not allow guests to arrive earlier and start experiencing the island. While it’s understandable that rooms may not be ready, the island is large enough for the hotel to offer an earlier boat transfer time. Guests could explore the island upon arrival, with their luggage stored in a designated area until the room is ready, and then proceed with the formal check-in at the reception.||Third, I think the pool next to The Vuda Reef Restaurant is too small and should be expanded to accommodate children. Currently, the pool feels undersized and does not align with VOMO’s luxury image. During our stay, we noticed the pool was often crowded, and the children were not able to fully enjoy it. Adding a water slide and creating an integrated pool area would enhance the experience.||Fourth, I would suggest installing a fan in the bathrooms of the Hill Villa and Beachfront Villa to help the air conditioning system cool the entire room faster. Often, the temperature in the bathroom is 1-2 degrees higher than in the bedroom. Additionally, the hair dryers could be upgraded to Dyson models for faster drying. I also found it surprising that the VOMO-branded bags provided in the room are not complimentary. It seems a bit stingy that the bag can only be used during the stay and must be purchased if guests wish to keep it. I believe gifting one VOMO bag per room would not be a significant cost.||Fifth, I feel that the restaurant staff were sometimes slow to respond. I’m not sure if it was due to the school holidays and perhaps being very busy, but there were several occasions when we had to repeatedly remind the staff before our food was served. Additionally, the children's high chairs in the restaurant need to be updated, as many of the safety belts were either missing or broken, which poses a safety risk for children. I also think the breakfast buffet area requires a dedicated staff member to regularly check which foods need to be replenished. Often, when a specific item ran out, it wasn't restocked in a timely manner.||Lastly, the most disappointing part of our trip was that, despite confirming with the reservation team that the room would be decorated, and a birthday cake and song would be provided during dinner on the birthday, this was forgotten. Instead, we received the cake and song on the morning of our checkout day. Tim handled this issue very well during our checkout, and I would like to thank him for his prompt handling and compensation.||Please note that the above suggestions are based on my personal experience with luxury island travel, as well as my experience at VOMO. In my heart, I truly love VOMO Island, and I hope it can continue to improve, offering even better and higher standards of service to its guests.||Vinaka and...
