Independent review for Botaira Beach Resort in the Yasawa Islands of Fiji
Botaira Beach Resort Fiji is set on a beautiful beach with private bungalows hand-crafted from traditional materials facing one of the best snorkelling lagoons in the Yasawas. This budget style resort is not the best value place to stay and the food is simple fare, but if you're looking for an idyllic laid back holiday location you won't be disappointed.
