"... Tubakula is a quiet, do-your own-thing kind of a place.... Seated on your terrace watching the sky turn orange and purple behind the black silhouettes of the palms along the beach, a bucket of cold Fiji Bitter stubbies close at hand, you’d swear this is paradise! One of the most popular backpacker resorts in Fiji and well worth a couple of nights" (David Stanley, Moon Handbooks Fiji , Avalon Travel Publishing, 2004)
