Visa requirements
• It is the responsibility of all guests to check and adhere to Fiji’s visa requirements.
Travel Insurance
• There are limited medical facilities in Rakiraki so if any medical problem arises you may need be transferred to Nadi or Suva. If you develop a serious medical problem you will most likely want to leave Fiji for Australia, New Zealand or your home location. There is also a higher degree of risk in public areas, on local vessels, etc. Sea conditions and sometimes cyclones can prevent travel on the booked dates as well. It is therefore highly recommended that all clients have a valid travel insurance policy to cover the cost of any emergency medical treatment or accident and to protect payments in the event of cancellation which may occur for any reason whatsoever including that of weather or any other reason beyond the control of Volivoli Beach Resort.
• Volivoli Beach advises all guests to take out travel insurance at the time of booking.
COVID-19 clause: Amendment policy for travel until further notice (Valid for FIT & Groups)
Volivoli Beach Resort will waive any amendment fees being charged for any bookings that need to be changed due to Government border restrictions. Important – Volivoli Beach Resort highly recommends all guests to take out suitable travel insurance and dive insurance at the time of booking.
