Had a large group of 17 heading to Plantation Island. Ok for a stop over but wouldn’t want to stay any longer. Food was average for the price and couldn’t finish a few of the meals as they were so bad. Rooms were nice and bathrooms upgraded. One of the single beds had a massive stain on the sheet which you would have seen when/if making the bed up?
My wife and I stayed 4 nights, walking ~300m from NAD Arrivals, crossing the highway and arriving at 7AM. A nice receptionist checked our pre-payment and said our room would be cleaned with priority as a steady parade of occupants were leaving for the airport. We took the wifi code and worked in the lobby until 9AM when the receptionist carried our bags to the room.
Garden view #501, 503 & Pool view #103, were all spacious and quiet with a comfortable king across a closet and a 40” TV with BBC, Discovery, cartoons and more channels. A corner shelf(hot pot, coffee/tea & refer below), extended to a desk with outlets, then a couch with table and chair. A large sliding glass door opens to a private patio with table/chairs.
The AC was quiet with temperature control and the room WIFI was strong and secure. Room WIFI is now charged at F$15/day with lobby use continued free.
The fully outfitted bathroom was perfect with a tile shower and good hot water.
Room serviced on request and we swam in the large shallow pool with its water slide, both clear and clean.
We had the 5:30 AM serviced quiet poolside breakfast buffet(F$ 22 each) with juices, pineapple /papaya, cereals/muesli with milk/yogurt, breads/muffins and regular coffee. We also ordered from the ala carte menu.
We returned twice more for 2 nights each as this hotel was an ideal location for airport rental cars, bus stop out front for 7 Sea Cruises, a good IGA supermarket 1.4km south and its walkable location to NAD(to fly to other island countries).
We used this hotel for a one-night stopover once arriving in Nadi before heading off to our resort the next day.
The value for money here was excellent, the staff were very kind and welcoming and it had everything you need for a stop-over stay.
The food was decent and good value for money compared to the rest of Fiji.
What a fabulous hotel for a quick overnight near the airportUpon arrival the free hotel shuttle was there. Check in at the hotel was quick and efficient and we were greeted by friendly staff. We had a good sized room at the back of the Resort so it was lovely and quiet. The rooms are quite tired, looking but fully functioning and clean. Good selection of teas and coffee. We ate at the restaurant and I had no problem having a gluten-free meal as I am coeliac. The restaurant staff were lovely. We had breakfast the next morning and that was also easily accommodated to meet my needs and very delicious. We wanted to go to the local supermarket to stock up on a few supplies and the staff organised a taxi for us, which also waited for us in progress back to the hotel. We are very appreciative of all the help I would definitely recommend this hotel when you arrive in Nadi, or when you are departing Nadi. Although we didn’t use the pool area or the water slide, it was there and available and waiting for a transfer down to our main resort. We were able to take advantage of the sun lounges and relax for awhile.
It was ok… we got sick from the food, I’m guessing the fish, it’s wasn’t the cheapest either. It was extremely humid and no restaurant with AC so we had to eat in our room. TV was good. Wifi very weak and always cutting out. We did like the refurbished room and the pool was good although my daughter got a cut on her foot from something sharp in the pool. Walking distance from the airport. Overall we didn’t like Fiji and hated Nadi- so dirty and humid in the winter. Will never go back but you don’t know until you try. Unless you have the big bucks to stay in the fancy resorts like in Denarau it’s just not a nice place. Staff were all nice and helpful.
