This is the second time we have used Tokatoka as a day stop, not an overnight. The first was about 5 years ago and at the end of December 2011 we had a 14 hour layover in Nadi on the was to USA. I maded the booking by email, checkin staff were courteous and friendly, we spent the day around the pool, great waterslide, which is the reason we went back the second time my son loved it, had lunch by the pool, I went for a massage for which they had a special deal on so was very good price, had a bit of a rest in the room before returning to the airport. This resort is great for a stop or layover due to its close proximity to the airport and the complimentary shuttle bus service to and from the airport.

Now, I don't know if all the decent rooms were taken..but we stayed 1 night before our flight home after spending all days sitting waiting for flood waters to come down between villages. We weren't picky, it was midnight by the time we got there, they had a room, it was cheap. It was good that there was 24 hour reception. Our room was a "family" room I believe although there was just 2 of us.
The room? Well, there was bugs/cockroaches crawling all over the bathroom and main room. Especially amongst all the complimentary coffee/sugar sachets. The room smelt, the bathroom was dirty, there was no towels (which was no problem to get when we called) and the sheets of the bed and the pillow covers look used. Ick! We made sure out suitcase/bags were zipped in case bugs try to get in. There was air con and that worked well, so at least we were cool. Was too afraid to call for room service for something to eat given the room condition and didn't even try breakfast. Could NOT wait to get out of the place. Even the lobby and the couches were dirty. I would never, ever, ever go back..I'd rather sleep in the taxi that we had spent most of the day in! It was cleaner!

This was the third time we stayed at the Tokatoka Resort as a stop over and quite possibly our last.We have always chosen this hotel for the location and great pool as it has a good waterslide for the kids however after an uncomfortable nights sleep we will probably try Raffles Gateway next time due to good reviews on here.Although the room was very spacious(we stayed in a family room) I feel the air conditioning was under powered for the room.We may as well of not had it. Beds are'nt real comfortable either.We didnt even eat at the restaurant as we have discovered a great little restaurant close by in Nadi called "Sitar" which serves mainly Indian food at reasonable prices.

Tokatoka resort is it is what it is...probably good for a 1 night stay and not nights. Location is whats best about this hotel i guess. Poor service yet more work can be put into this. Best feature would probably be the pool, good way to spend the day with the family. Overall more can be done to lift the service
