We stayed in an unrenovated king suite overlooking the water. The staff were nice - very unhurried though (which took a bit of getting used to!) Must be a Fijian thing.... The bedroom itself was very spacious and very clean - lounge room was a bit of a waste as the air-con made it too cold to use and if the air-con was turned off and condensation within the rooms made floor unbearably slippery and fogged up every surface. The bed was a bit soft for my liking but would suit some people.
The weather was terrible - flooding with two cyclone warnings. Didnt seem to be much organised by the hotel when tours were cancelled due to bad weather and things that were advertised just didnt happen, such as kava tasting or crab racing.
Thought the American breakfast was great - good range and value - and bird netting prevented most cheeky visitors - which apparently are a problem at other resorts at Denarau...there are mice though....
Moo moo steak restaurant which is attached to the resort is highly recommended - although not sure why it is so dark in there!
Pool area nice - just wish it had stopped raining long enough to enjoy it....

We arrived at 5.30am, having paid for a early check in to be told we would have to wait for our room...wait we did till 1pm! With no apology or explanation, in fact check in staff were so rude to us it was as if we had done something wrong.

We arrived at our room, and were impressed with the size, cleanliness and over all presentation. But, were not once during our stay provided with free drinking water, as described in our booking. Beds were so comfortable.

Pool near gym was disgusting, so dirty and had a stagnant water smell about it. Main pool was murky, probably because of the rain. Pool was good, pool service was no existent. We asked for a menu, took the staff 20 mins to get it to us! We then had to find someone to give our order to and it took 40 mins to be delivered. Don't ask for a cup of ice....it will never arrive, you will need to go to the bar and get it yourself.

Food at the resort is EXPENSIVE! it is cheaper to buy beer than water.

Breakfast, average. The best thing about breakfast was the sparkling wine....we made sure we got out money's worth every morning.

Overall my experience was not great, i was expecting a 5 star service from this resort and walked away thinking it was more like a 2 star!

I can't say enough good about Starwood or the Westin Denarau in Fiji. They really saved me this past December.
First thing to note, if you are a single blonde female, it might not be the best thing to travel to Fiji by yourself. Take that to heart.
That aside, I ended up de-camping to the Westin, and what a beautiful place it is. The rooms are modern, well-designed and very clean. The staff, particularly the women staff, are delightful and hard-working. And the facilities, particularly the pool and Moo Moo's are fantastic. That restaurant has amazing food. As I sit here across the world, I crave their wahoo and amazing bisque. While the restaurant and pool are amazing, the beach is minimal and not very hospitable. I had tar from the beach on my toe nails until my next pedicure.
For Americans, know that Fiji isn't the Caribbean, it isn't Hawaii, so it's necessary to adjust expectations (I didn't know and was surprised). Its people are very religious, culture is very important to them, and it is important to know that there is no government as we know it, they live in a divided situation, lacking leadership, under a military coup. My advice would be to either snuggle in to the fantastic properties of the Westin and its partners and take day trips to out-islands or backpack it and expect hiccups. The country isn't my favorite place, not sure I would go back. But if I do, I would definitely visit this property for relaxation after the long trip.

We stayed here on our first trip to Fiji. The property is nice enough but not outstanding. There isn't much of a beach and the water near the resort is gray and murky. Fortunately, you can have a boat pick you up and take you to the surf/snorkeling reefs about 30-40 minutes away.

The bed was comfortable. We stayed in one of the rooms that had not yet been renovated but it was laid out and appointed well. The staff is friendly enough but the level of service is lower than I expected for a Starwood resort. Hard to tell if this is from a lack of training or interest. The restaurants are average at best and after a few tries we left the resort for our meals or snacked on the balcony of our room. (Daikoku, a Japanese Restaurant near the airport, was fun and very good).

The golf course was a big disappointment. The scorecard says that Troon Golf manages the course but that clearly hasn't been the case for some time. The layout is good and it may have once been a beautiful course but it is sadly in need of a major overhaul. Sand traps are washed out, water hazards are murky or (in one case) dried up. Basic amenities like towels and tees are missing. I have played other courses in the tropics and understand the maintenance challenges they face dealing with the heat, rain and salt but this was outright neglect. Without a big investment - and soon - they will lose the course entirely. As it is there is no reason to take your clubs with you when staying on Denarau.

We had a great time in Fiji. My son surfed every day while his mom and I kicked back or snorkeled nearby. The variety of fish and coral are unlike any place I've ever been. We will definitely consider returning to the island but if we do we will be staying at a different hotel.
