Bees and Honey at The Intercontinental

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 5 Jul 2024
We are staying at the Fiji Intercontinental at the moment and have had a great stay and have enjoyed the water sports, golf and wonderful hospitality. Our family travels a lot and without a doubt, our hosts here are THE FRIENDLIEST and MOST WELCOMING hosts we have ever met. Interestingly, the highlight has been a little left field - the Beekeeping and Honey making tour run by expert Fijian apiarists and overseen by the Executive pastry chef was incredible. A little bit of science and a lot of culinary art made this one of the best resort activities we have ever experienced. Once we learnt how the bees did their stuff, we were then let into a world of how the honey is put to work in making some very tasty creations. The chef prepared the best “honey inspired high tea” you could imagine. Rolling back to the pool for the sunset was difficult. 10/10 for a Fijian Masterchef afternoon. It’s a must do when you’re here.

We came here because we had heard great things about the actual beach to be honest. Have been to Fiji 8 times and were so disappointed with this hotel.

The beach was beautiful and thank goodness.

Our first room was overpriced and also the neighbours looked right on to our bed. We had curtains but seriously we wanted to look on to our view the garden and other people’s room.

I complained respectly and we were moved after about 3 hours upstairs( so much better) but then looked into our previous room very funny. Anyway food overpriced especially at the top restaurant and staff seemed so unhappy although all female staff were brilliant. I suspect most of the men working at the hotel were failed rugby players very ignorant.

Anyway I say visit the islands especially Paradise Cove.

Room tip: Don't stay here go to the islands

Bula Getaway35082356886,

Thank you for you for taking the time to pass on your personal thoughts on your stay to us via TripAdvisor.

We do very much appreciate the feedback on our beautiful beach. I understand both our Chef Indrashis and Executive Resort Manager Ravikash, managed to locate you prior to your departure this morning and arranged complimentary lunches to take away. We are very surprised and disappointed to read around your gender based feedback which is most unusual and also your refusal to pay on check out charges that was clarified on your confirmation and on also on check in. Please note the InterContinental Fiji Golf Resort & Spa is proudly locally owned by the Fiji National Provident Fund (FNPF), Fiji’s largest financial institution, FNPF is Fiji’s sole superannuation fund dedicated to securing the future of all Fijians and as always we encourage our guests to provide their feedback.

Thank you again and we appreciate the opportunity to respond.

Vinaka and kind regards,
Lachlan Walker

An absolutely unforgettable family holiday in paradise. From the moment we arrived we felt welcomed beyond belief. The property is outstanding, rooms 5 star. restaurants with many choices for our 6 night stay, staff incredible and the best beach snorkelling. The bar was always a great way to start our night watching the fire lighting ceremonies whilst enjoying our cocktail.The Day Spa absolutely 5 star not to mention the facilities to have a beachside massage in a cabana. The property has many activities along with a little gift shop and mini mart for those essentials required. Also a great medical centre if needed. We will deifinitely be returning to this amazing property and highly recommend to anyone wanting a fabulous 5 star break.

Room tip: Pools were fabulous and plenty of chairs for people. A beautiful adults only pool if you feel like a little break from the kids pool.

This resort was like being in a tropical jungle. The staff were amazing and the service was the best. Rooms clean and nice. Natadola Bay was one of the prettiest places I have ever seen. We enjoyed the Spa and our daughter did the Scuba certification with 4 dives and she loved. I would highly recommend.

There are loads of wonderful things about this hotel such as location, reef out the front of a spectacular beach. Staff super friendly and go above and beyond for guests. A few concerns such as a $400fj deposit per night which we fought and won a waiver. Stupid hotel rule. A very long check- in/ argument over this not being on any paperwork. Plus a long checkout. Tip…,You gotta monitor your billing . Room could have been cleaner

Room tip: Expect haggling at checkin regarding the bs hotel policy of daily deposit , like the usual but much cheaper 1 off hotel bond. Check ur bill

Thank you for taking the time to pass on your lovely feedback around our Resort and we are thrilled you had a fabulous stay.
.
The comments on our staff going beyond and the spectacular beach is very much appreciated, thank you. We’d welcome some more feedback around your billing and as your review remains anonymous, we are unsure of the details, Ravikash Nand our Executive Manager would welcome more information to investigate and ensure this does not occur again along with your feedback on room cleanliness; thank you.

Please note the pre deposit is certainly not a stupid rule, when you are traveling overseas, it is imperative all guests have sufficient funds to settle their account on check out, certainly a predicament to all if you do not, in a different country to your own. For your stay at the Resort ( this is on our website along with registration card and all booking confirmation's ) a pre-authorisation amount of F$400 per night will be run against your choice of payment at check-in, based on the number of nights you will stay and rooms booked. We will contact you throughout your stay should your balance exceed the preauthorisation amount, if this occurs, we appreciate your kind understanding and please do not be offended when our team contact you. This will avoid any unforeseen surprises on departure for either party. This preauthorisation is a temporary hold on funds that will act as a security deposit for payment against incidentals such as restaurants, bar, spa, kids club, boutique purchases, activities and all other spend incurred during your time with us. Your final incidental bill will be settled against this preauthorisation amount with the balance released to your credit card; please note that this process can take up to 7 to 14 business days.

Once again Thank you again for choosing to stay with us,

Warm regards

Vinaka Vakalevu
