Get A Way
Spent 3 nights. Staff was attentive and gracious. If you are looking for a laid back, low key get away, this could be it. It is somewhat isolated, access is only by boat.....if you want to go anywhere, you have to arrange a boat to take you there. Great weather while I was there

Surfs up!
This place was awesome. I was looking to chill out and do nothing other then sip on drinks, eat delicious home cooked meals and surf all day….
and I got exactly that! It’s exactly what I needed after months of traveling solo. The personal cabins on the waterfront were absolutely picture perfect. The islands were easy to navigate to and from. Never ran into any issues and the staff were always around to help. It’s a good fun environment, the best surfing and super affordable!! Definitely will return many more times.
Thank you!

We had a great time staying at the funky fish! Accommodation worked really well for our group of young students. We also really enjoyed the food, and the drinks selection was great too! There were some really fun activities on offer, and I would definitely encourage taking advantage of these- we really enjoyed going to Cloud 9 and having a day trip to Musket Cove!

Great: staff, pool/deck/eating area, beds, rooms simple, but clean. Quiet and restful. Nice water and not a bad place to visit a few other islands from on day trips.

Pros: Food was good! They were kind enough to accommodate my dietary needs. We really enjoyed the snorkeling. Pool was clean. Fans really cooled off the room; lack of A/C was not an issue. Cons: Organizing boat trips for the off-island activities was a bit more challenging than I thought, and punctuality was an issue. We learned that the schedule is catered more to the needs of surfers. Sometimes I felt like I was bothering the staff members when I asked questions. But overall, our week at Funky Fish was super fun. It's not fancy, but we were totally comfortable.

My partner and I came here recently on a surf trip and absolutely LOVED it. We were warmly welcomed and recognized when we came back a week later. Loved the huts right on the water, the delicious homecooked meals, and the surf we could access via boat with ease. Super relaxing vibe, good price and community feel. Coming back to Funky in November.

It is a nice happy spot. Not pretentious and where many nice and easy going people gather. Malolo is also a beautiful island and from the property you can reach Mt Silo and have a stunning view. However, the food quality should be improved, including with some more local products/cuisine, and costs should be made clear and transparent, such as the 25FJD per person asked for a 1 minute boat ride from the Ferry to the resort.

Excellent staff! Great area for diving. Beach is not swimmable, but loved walking it when the surf was out. Plenty of food but would have liked more options. Too much rice and fries. Loved the bure’s. Not much to do.

Perfect place to chill. The staff were great. The facilities basic but adequate. Meals were good and there was always plenty for everyone, even those having 3 servings! Take something to fill your time e.g. books, and just enjoy the time out.

Great place to stay in bure with sea view, lovely crystal clear water for swimming. Lovely morning and evening views. Very helpful and friendly staff. Walking distance to six senses beach resort, which is a great add-on. Cheap boat available to visit Musket cove and plantation resorts. Cheapest of most of the other resorts.
The beach is tidal, so you won’t be able to swim there all the time, but just over the little hill and six senses beach resort offers all tide swimming and facilities available for visitors.
I would really love to go there again.

Affordable, chill, wonderful staff and just good vibes to really slow down if you're willing to go with the flow and embrace the bumpy boat rides!
Fanatstic snorkelling and surfing options that you can boat out to and decent hiking areas.
Really communal with other guests and staff.
Big shout out to the staff when power was cut and they worked so hard to make sure everyone was comfortable as they worked through the night to have it restored. They were such legends.
