Musket Cove was a bubble in another world. The island was the most beautiful place I’ve ever stayed, the staff were the friendliest people who couldn’t do enough for you and the food was always delicious. Highly recommend.
We love Musket but the very loud music blasting by the pool and restaurant was disappointing. It didn’t used to be like this at Musket. Spoiled things for us. We could even hear the music in our room in the day which meat reading and relaxing was overshadowed.
Excellent stay. Only problem I had was that I didn’t reapply sunscreen enough. Temperature was very hot. Friendliest people ever all throughout the resort and Fiji in general. Every where you went you were greated with Bula and how are you doing. Wonderful people!
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:)
We had an excellent stay, such a great time. Highly recommend the Beachfront Bure. Mike at the Traders cafe and Selena at Dicks restaurant were both lovely staff, and they go above and beyond for guests. Fireworks on new years Eve were a special surprise! Our only feedback is that it would have been good to know the new years eve event plans earlier as we only found out the night of and missed a lot as they were spread out over the resort.
World Class Hospitality | Only in MusketCove Resor
10⭐️
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.
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.
Musket Cove was just what I was looking for in a holiday with a perfect balance between Fiji hospitality, their culture and the commercial aspect of resorts. All of the staff were friendly and very welcoming. Leilani at the spa is a gem, best massage I have ever had. Very relaxing holiday. Vinaka.
