The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Meals!

I had the pleasure of enjoying the seafood platter during my stay, and it featured a generous selection of fresh fish, including a whole lobster! The dinner buffet on our first night was good, with freshly cooked meats and a live singing performance that added to the ambiance. Wananavu's dining experience truly elevated our vacation.

Lovely Leisure Facilities

The resort offers a well-maintained pool and a tennis court, perfect for relaxation and some light exercise. I enjoyed lounging by the pool with stunning views around me. Though the beach is manmade, it was still a great spot for sunbathing and taking in the lovely scenery.

Spacious Ocean View Bure

I stayed in an ocean view bure that was incredibly spacious and comfortable. It featured a large bathroom and an outdoor/indoor shower which added a unique touch to our experience. The bure was well-equipped for a family with ample room for our belongings and provided amazing ocean views right from our room.

Our stay at the resort was an unforgettable experience, thanks to the impeccable dining options and fantastic service. The rooms were spacious and well-appointed, providing breathtaking views and luxurious amenities. However, the Wi-Fi was a bit unreliable, which can be a nuisance for those needing to stay connected. Additionally, while the beach was nice for lounging, it wasn't ideal for swimming, which could be a concern for some guests.

This resort is a true gem, nestled away from the hustle and bustle and offering stunning views and luxurious accommodations. The food was surprisingly delightful, and I highly recommend opting for the meal plan as it was excellent value for money. However, be prepared for some steep walks around the property, and there were a few hiccups with room cleanliness that need attention.

I had a lovely stay at Wananavu, enjoying its stunning location with magnificent views and a peaceful beach atmosphere. While the rooms were spacious and clean, they felt a bit dated and could use some updating. The service varied, with some staff being welcoming and others less so, but this didn’t greatly diminish the experience. Dining was hit or miss, with some meals being enjoyable while others were lacking, and prices for drinks and snacks were on the higher side. Overall, it was a nice retreat, especially for its natural beauty.
