We had 10 nights here in a Beach Front Bure in Jan 2012 and had the best time. We are not into "Big" resorts with kids clubs and all the hype, but don't do cheap either. We loved every minute at The Uprising, it is on a lovely beach, has a great pool and landscaped gardens, the staff were amazing-friendly and helpful. There are only about 20 individual units, beach front and garden view and a small upmarket dorm, so you always felt like you were on your own holiday and not sharing it with 100's of others. We travelled with our 8yr old daughter and she loved it here too, but we are the kind of family who does everything together anyway. If you want a great holiday without needing a shop or a hairdresser in the complex, stay at the Uprising.!!!

Stayed here in October 2011 for business and absolutely loved it!! It is a hidden gem!! Must admit i didn't have high expectations but was very very pleasantly surprised! We stayed in one of the brand new garden Villas and it was more of a 5 star standard with lots of little luxuries!! It's such a great blend of people and accommodations!! Staff and service was brilliant!! Would have no hesitation in recommending this to all types of travellers - and will definately be staying here again.

Just stayed there mid-December 2011. A rugby event was going on, with big names showing up. During the event, loved to learn from workers that the resort owner helps a lot the local community without publicizing it much. The resort tries hard to be as much "sustainable" as possible, which is a good thing. Uprising may not be the number 1 resort in Viti Levu (had minor problems with a shower in our bure), but definitely worth trying if you want your bucks to be spent on good causes and not only deep pockets.

We stayed at Uprising for 3 nights in december and the villa we stayed in was lovely. The beach was nice. The bar by the beach was our favourite spot watching the local ladies fishing at the end and enjoying a bottle of vonu. (I even got a fishing line from the fishing shop at the arts village the next day in the hope to catch something). The atmosphere in the hotel was good. The staff were nice but there were few occassions where some of the female staff were rude. It was like the whole thing was about them and not the customer. The pregnant lady who was the waitress there at the time was awesome though. Maybe the other female staff can get some tips off her on how its suppose to be done. Overall we enjoyed the stay at this pleasant resort and we plan to return to Uprising next time.
