Two Aussies 25,26 year olds experience in October 2022.

Getting to the resort:
2 days prior to checkin I emailed the resort asking what transport options there were to get to the resort from Nadi, there was no response at all (Still haven’t heard from them).
Google gave 2 options,
- take the public bus from the Nadi bus stop (10FJG pp)
- Take a taxi/private vehicle transfer (150-200 FJG)
We chose option 1 with sunbeam buses, it took 2 hours and was completely packed. We had to push our way onto the bus and were only able to secure 1 seat for the two of us. Just because you have a ticket doesn’t mean to get a seat, it’s first in best dress. The bus dropped us on the side on the highway, not into the resort.

Check in:
Upon arrival there were beautiful gardens and the staff we lovely and welcoming. Checked in at reception with no issues at all.

The overall stay:
Positives:
- Staff were friendly and helpful.
- The views and exterior of the resort were lovely.
- A lot of activity’s to participate in, a lot of which were free.
- Lots of family’s with young children (negative for some).
- Pools were lovely, we did find it strange that the swim up cocktail bar is in the family pool not the adult only pool.

Negatives:
- We stayed in room 122 (ground floor), upon walking it it smelt musty and stale. The room was dated, we paid for a queen room however received a double bed instead. The mattress was a old cheep spring one that bottomed out when you sat on it. Not supportive at all leading to a very poor nights sleep. It was very noisy at all hours, hope you’re a deep sleeper! The ceiling in the bathroom was very low, I am 6ft 2inch and my head was nearly touching the ceiling. The bathroom was also very dated with a very small shower/bath and appeared to have mould in the silicone.
- Food and drinks were average and overpriced. There are 5 restaurants to choose from. We ate at the main buffet style for all breakfasts (only one open and included in our booking), it was ok. We had 1 buffet dinner which again was just ok. This costs 80FJD per person….The next night we ate at the steak house outside. A 300g standard steak costs between 92-100 FJD. It was alright however no different to a basic pub in Australia (for half the price). Drinks were very pricy too, cocktails all 29 FJD besides the specials that were 15-18 FJD each. The cocktail specials were pre made and too sugary sweet. A corona was 20 FJD, the house wines 18 FJD.
- The monopoly of the resort is frustrating and leaves you paying top dollar for everything. Housekeeping put a 1.5 litre bottle of water in the room each day, if you want more than that your only option is to purchase it at the bar (crazy prices). All of the restaurants and bars are part of the resort, you can put everything on your room or pay with card (3% surcharge)

Overall I can’t say I recommend it, very expensive for average food and drinks, dated noisy rooms and that the resort don’t offer and sort of shuttle from Nadi leaving you to pay 147FJD to get back to Nadi by a taxi.

What an amazing pampered holiday to relax and reset!!! The hotel and the hospitality was great. The enjoy the spa and Luisa was amazing. She was kind and caring, listented carefully and provided a great Escape Package - Massge, Foot Spa and Mini Facial. I would recommend all to book her in while you are in Warwick hotel. I booked by spa on Day 5 and it was a great end to the holiday.

The Warwick is a well run resort with a lot of features that our family enjoyed, such as a swim up bar, spa, a few different bars and restaurants, a gym and activity center and free hire of towels, snorkeling gear and paddle boards. There were nightly activities, including some breathtaking dancing and fire twirling.

The highlight for us were all of the sporting activities, such as pool volleyball, soccer and touch rugby. The staff are really fun and inclusive and friends were made quickly.

The shopping trip to Sigatoka was well worth it as it was one of the only opportunities to get out into the local community. It was a decent bus ride to get there, but it was engaging because there was a guide talking about the local culture and pointing out landmarks along the way). We had about two hours of shopping and exploring the town. There was a bit more selection in the souvenirs that you could buy in town compared to at the resort, but similar prices (unless you are much better at negotiating at the local market than we were!). We were back at the resort for a late lunch.

There was a kids buffet that had a consistent selection of food that most kids like (e.g. chips, chicken nuggets, pasta). Our kids were a bit older and became bored of the kids buffet, but there were no easy options to upgrade them to the adults buffet. The adults buffet had a different theme each night with lots of variety and we also enjoyed the Italian restaurant, but did not book in for Teppanyaki quick enough and so missed out. It is worth looking carefully at what is included in the 'all inclusive' as we got caught out a few times when ordering things that were not included, especially for the kids.

The pool was a lot of fun and balls and other pool toys can be purchased from the shop. There were lounge chairs around the pool, but most were taken before the pool opened for the day and there was only limited shade.

The resort caters for families, but can feel a little segmented at times with a pool, beach and restaurant that are adult only.

The room was a little small and wasn't really set up for spending much time in, but had everything we needed plus free Wifi and a tv. The housekeeping was fantastic and our laundry was returned nice and quick.
