“Boutique resort in tropical Nadi”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012
3
people found this review helpful

My family love this place - the pool, the meals, the staff.
The complete refurbishment in 2011 by the Sofianopolous family has created a wonderful relaxing oasis perfect for a day trip or long term stay.
This is a boutique resort in a quiet tropical part of Nadi. It's not on the beach (but really you don't want to swim in Nadi bay anyway).
Fantasia has everything you need for a relaxing break or a quick stop over on your way too or from the airport. There is a Pure Fiji Spa, delicious Greek Taverna, Conference Centre, fully-equipped gym and huge pool.
The villas range from intimate honeymoon style to the 2 storey self-contained treehouse style.
Fantasia is for you, if you want to get away from busy Denarau and don't want to be surrounded by back-packers.
At Fantasia you can still have quality accommodation and facilities at a reasonable price.

“What Ocean where ?????”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 June 2008
1
person found this review helpful

We had a bad experience here.
We had visions of ocean waves,but we got a tidal canal and when we went for a walk to find the beach we were subjected to heavy duty treatment by security guards and the Developer of the big subdivision next to Oceans Edge who was quite rude.
We nervously explained where we were staying and we were allowed to proceed.
The only place to get to the beach had gates across it.
The gym set up was good,and restaurant bar OK.
But Ocean's edge it is not.
Perhaps the owner Steve who seemed quite pleasant could do something about the officious security because they look and act menacing.

  • Liked — Gym
  • Disliked — Ocean / Beach,menascing security.

Oceans Edge...................yeah right,
More like reclamation and diggers.
This place is on a dirty canal,we were so disappointed after arriving off a long flight.
Steve the owner - Del boy - made the best of a bad situation,but we wont be back - know wot I mean.
Heres a list of alternatives - Nadi Bay Hotel,Beachside Resort or Aquarius.

“LOved the peace and quiet”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 December 2006

people found this review helpful

We loved this place. It's about 15 min by taxi from the airport. The gym is really modern and hudge! There is a yoga studio as well although there were no classes at the time we were there, but the equipment is all new and not having done any exercise for about 2 weeks - I loved it! They have a proper lap swimming pool and a great hydro therapy spa pool as well which is just like having a massage under the water! Great before a flight!

Our room was clean and comfortable if a little basic, but there were flowers everywhere in the room, and decorating the bed, which was beautiful to walk into, and a glorious fruit bowl to munch on. The staff were really lovely and very helpful. There are no set times for the restaurant, the only thing is you have to book your meal in the evening, but there is no restriction of times.

We stayed here 2 nights before our flight out and were able to use the room until we had to leave for the airport in the evening - I totally recomend this as agreat place to stay before flying home.

  • Liked — natural and peaceful
  • Disliked — very little
  • Tips/Secrets — book this place before you fly home

“Not for tourists ...”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 October 2006
7
people found this review helpful

I booked and paid to stay at this property purely from reviews/recommendations on TA and also by looking at their website. Do not be deceived.

It is located in the middle of nowhere. Access is only by car and the roads leading to the property are full of pot holes.
It is a building site - the guys were still working at 5pm and was informed they would be starting again at 7am. Not great should you fancy a lie-in on holiday.
It should be 'swampy edge' not ocean's edge. There was water surrounding the property, but I feared how many mosquitos would also be there.
Bedding looked old and worn.
The door/lock/windows all looked unsafe, coupled with no in-room safe, I would've feared for my belongings.
Yes, there were mysterious droppings on the floor and when I saw the mosquito net and can of Mortein I decided that I would not be staying.

I left the property within 10 minutes of arriving and paid to stay elsewhere. The receptionist at Ocean's Edge was apologetic that it wasn't what I expected and called a taxi for me. I have not been given a refund.

Stayed September 2006
