This was our 4th visit to Fiji (10 different resorts) over the past 4 years. We stayed in Fiji for 16 nights over Christmas and New Year, 7 nights at Malolo. It is fantastic! The staff are welcoming, friendly and entertaining.
The food was good, especially the buffets, I must say I am usually not a buffet eater, but they were great. I was a little dissapointed in the kids buffet and kids eat free menu, as they were very basic. Most probably suited to the younger kids, but my 10 year old ate from the adult menus and we just paid for her meals, which we expected to do anyway. But this is the only negative thing I can say. We did have a meal plan (BLD), and was definitely the way to go. Happy Hour is good, a chance to catch up with those you have met on your stay. 30 % off cocktails, and 15% off spirits.
Can't give any Kids Club info as our daughter didn't use it.
The accommodation was great, we stayed in an Ocean view bure, it was clean and comfortable. It was attended to daily by lovely house keeping staff. Laundry can be sent for $15 FD and returned within 24 hours (if you send early morning, you can get it back by same evening).
We did the Dolphin Safari and snorkeling trip, it was well worth the money, saw lots of dolphins, and you might even get the chance to see a 'Huge' Turtle, like I did . Snorkeling off the sand bar was great too. Snorkeling off the beach is good, go out a little further and to the far end of the resort for better coral and fish, but over all, all is great.
Also did the Shell Village, (Yaro village), this is a chance to see the local villagers, where they live and learn a little more about their culture. The ladies here sell handicrafts and jewellery to help support their families and village, a great way to give back to the community.
The activities crew are fantastic, they enjoy a laugh and we even got roped into some evening games. The music trio at meal times and happy hour were amazing, this is what makes me feel relaxed and that I am somewhere special, which the previous resort we stayed at lacked.
New Year's Eve was fantastic, great show, great food, great fireworks.
We would definitely go back, this resort is definitely not over priced, like some others close by.
