Barefoot Kuata Island Resort

Really a big family, every one on the island is really lovely, and starting miss all of you on the island.

Barefoot Kuata is one of the nicest places I’ve ever stayed. It is spectacular to step out of your room onto the beautiful beach. The staff are so friendly and go above and beyond for their guests. The room was spacious and the bed was really comfortable. The food was delicious. We did the awakening shark dive which was an incredible experience and I’d recommend everyone to do it. The staff sang on Saturday night, it was fantastic. Would recommend barefoot kuata to anyone.

Barefoot kuata was great! Pretty large so lots of bures, 3 small pools and lots of really comfy sun lounges which was awesome! They had scientists doing talks about various ocean subjects most days which was really awesome, highlight of the trip! - Adi at the main bar makes the best Moscow mules - very buffet heavy, about half the dinners are set menu and the rest were buffet - good snorkeling - rooms were good and clean - I preferred the smaller resorts I stayed at but this one had pools, two bars, a bigger beach, and scientist talks which was awesome!

Made the booking Took my money straight away, 1 day later cancelled the booking and now won’t refund the money. I have emailed emailed the company a few times and they have very been unhelpful, Now having to go through the bank to try and get $300 back

This is an absolutely wonderful place. The beachfront bures are beautifully designed, the outdoor shower is sublime, the snorkeling is great, good dinners, and very mellow, quiet vibe. Most important are the people — incredibly warm and helpful. We will definitely come here again.

Most amazing experience I have ever had. Stayed in the female only dorm and I think the workers and other travelers really can make or break the experience. Every single worker at this resort is so nice. My friend and I had the best time, became friends with all of the staff, and took advantage of every amenity possible. While it was rainy for a few days, that does not mean it will ruin your vacation. We had the absolute best time. The shark dive was amazing, snorkeling was amazing, and the food was good too. The only complaint I have is that the shower was only warm for 2 out of the 6 days we were there but since its so warm I really did not mind at all. Be prepared to stay in your bathing suit all day, paddle board, kayak, snorkel, hike, and have delicious meals. There are also some activities and games after dinner that helps everyone get to know eachother! My friend and I had the absolute best time and we hope to go back as soon as possible. A special shoutout to all the staff that we got to know. We were greeted with smiles every single day and it truly feels like we created a family while staying at Kuata. For those of you who are doing multiple islands, I would recommend staying at Kuata for at least a few nights. All of the other travelers we met said they wished they had stayed at Kuata for longer. Barefoot Kuata is definitley for socializing so take advantage of everything and talk to everyone! At the end of the day everything is what you make of it! Looking forward to going back.

Barefoot Kuata is a wonderful place--the best, safest, most reputable shark dives, a phenomenal house reef, and wonderful night snorkeling. My only problem is a big one--the reef shark snorkel activity drops anchor directly into live coral. The guide said that their usual tie-off place was damaged months ago so this is what they do now. That is totally unacceptable--if you can't moor responsibly, you must stop the activity. Replanting coral in one part of the island doesn't make up for knowingly breaking every day on the day side of the island.

Outstanding dive experience/team: can’t recommend the Bull Shark dive enough! Brilliant staff throughout Good atmosphere at meal times, guitar player and singer Cleanliness 9/10 (public toilets let it down- ants) Amazing bed, duvet and pillows Stunning outdoor shower Privacy in the buré felt luxury! Lovely pool areas Welcome chat was brilliant, mocktail and cold scented towel Beautiful resort Plenty of relaxing areas, sun loungers and places to chill in the shade Paddle boards didn’t have fins Buffet evenings (albeit lovely) not 3 course a le carte as advertised Sweeping brush in the room would have been good as you are right on the beach Beautiful and romantic beachfront setting
