# Avoid Leluvia island resort Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Fiji
pauljamieturnbull 04:47 UTC 20 Aug 2011 | Just a quick warning to any travellers thinking of staying on the Island resort of Leluvia, between Viti Levu and Ovalau. Although the island itself is lovely, the bures are small and a bit haphazard and the restrooms aren't great (cold salty showers). On a much more serious note however there is a group of about 11 male staff working there, who try most nights to get the guests very drunk and then take advantage of them. I had $70 stolen and when I went back to our accommodation at 4am an hour after my girlfriend, she was paralytically drunk and there was a male staff member in our bed trying to rape her. I chased him off but being drunk and it dark, did not get a good look at his face. |

wsims57 22:19 UTC 11 Sep 2011 | both of those suggestions are correct. The elders will not put up with that. It is a small island and everyone knows everyone. | 3
