We booked our vacation to Fiji through our timeshare in August. The location was great it was close enough to everything we wanted to do. They did have a computer lounge where you could buy minutes for internet use. I wish would would have bought the weekly deal they offer at the front desk instead of minutes. The rooms were clean and the kitchen was perfect for our needs. Our room was located on the first floor ocean view, right next to the ice cream stand. It was a little noisy but not to the point where it bothered us. I loved how the electrical outlets could be switched on or off if you weren't using an appliance. There was an electric water kettle and everything you could possibly need stocked in the kitchen. The living room area wasn't the most comfortable the furniture was more like patio furniture instead of living room furniture.

If I could have given 3 1/2 rating I would have, there was a cockroach in our refrigerator. Bugs are pretty common for warm weather resorts I'm sure. It was alive though and when we tried to catch it, we weren't successful the first time and it hid somewhere. The hotel staff was very understanding and gave us a free additional room cleaning and I think they might have sprayed too.

Location: We took a taxi into town a few times and went to the fresh farmers style market for produce, and we had the taxi driver bring us to a local grocery store where we picked up bottled water and a few other things. The resort's connivence store is priced highly and we only used it occasionally. The hotel is at the end of a strip of great resorts. The Westin has the MOST AMAZING SPA! We actually had a couples massage there. They give you a private bungalow with an outdoor soaking tub and double rock wall shower. The massage itself is outside on a hardwood deck overlooking a mini tropical rainforest. There are a ton of great resorts that are close by that I recommend taking advantage of. The Sofitel is one of them.

MOSQUITOS! I had a very bad experience with these little pests in Fiji. One of the travelers at the resort recommended B12 vitamins a week or two before your trip. She didn't have a single bite and didn't use bug spray. If you aren't up for B12, bug spray is a MUST.

Rosie's tours is great for booking day trips, located in the hotel lobby. The Sigatoka River Safari was interesting, a great trip to a local village on a powerful boat. We also enjoyed the island day trips, we went on the First Landing Beach Resort Dinner Cruise that was great. The food was really good and they even had a great wine selection and entertainment. I wished I could have gone up to where they filmed the movie Blue Lagoon but we didn't have enough time. The water is supposed to be intense blue! There is an ATM next to Rosie's tour desk if you need to pull out cash, otherwise we cashed our US Dollars at the port.

I recommend going to the owners socials, we met a ton of great people and it was fun hanging out with them on day trips to the islands. We went to dinner with people from all over the world as a result of the day trips too.

Drinks at the restaurant/ pool bar are pretty good, the food wasn't that great. I suggest bringing anything you can from home if you plan on staying at the hotel most of the time. I tried to make pasta sauce one night and I bought a can of tomatoes from the hotel store and it was basically ketchup in a can. There is a butcher in Nadi (South Pacific Butchering Company) if your looking to grill chicken, or ribs they had a great selection of fresh meat for fantastic prices. It's a pretty small store with really fresh meat, eggs, and pre-marinated grill items.

Port Denarau: There are a few souvenir shops a the port with reasonable prices. There is also a women that comes to the resort and sells handmade jewelry, I think she only comes on certain days I would find out from the hotel's reception desk. DON'T BUY SOUVENIRS AT THE AIRPORT. I wanted to buy a pearl necklace at the port and didn't have time to go back and get it before we left, the prices at the airport were triple the prices at
Great find, magnum ice cream bars! I had never tried one of these fantastic belgium chocolate ice cream bars until I went to Fiji! They were outstanding. They sell them everywhere there and now they even carry them in the US as of a couple months ago.

I could go on and on, I'm stopping myself now! Go to Fiji the US dollar has a great value, and there are plenty of things to see and do. I think we spend $1500 on food, day trips and misc. during our 10 night stay. The food wasn't the greatest from a foodie perspective but the natives are so nice they truly enjoy the tourist that visit. Most travelers come from Australia, New Zealand, and the US.

Our holiday started 13th Jan 2012 and we were there for 12 days until 25th Jan 2012 just BEFORE some of the major renovations were due to start around the pool area...so our stay was Fantastic with no interuptions what so ever (apart ftom the rain on the last 2 days).
The accommodation was first class with LARGE clean rooms all air conditioned with spotlessly clean bathrooms (biggy for me).
The grounds and gardens are meticulously maintained each day as was the pool area. I had to ring housekeeping after 5 days to have the room cleaned and linen changed but that was no big deal and whenever we needed more bathroom supplies (those little soap bars don't last long) I would simply ask one of the housekeepers I ran into on the way to the pool and they would restock the room for me right away.
The restaurant next to the pool at Worldmark is the cheapest amoungst all the other resorts and we found that the best way to pay was to book it to our room, pay the room bill using the credit card and pay off the credit card when we got home, that way we got the BEST exchange rate rather than buying/using Fijian cash. Likewisw if you wanted to eat at any of the other resorts, pay with your credit card.
The prices anywhere around the resorts on Denarau are really expensive and even though they were in Fijian dollars, it was a bit of a shock (F$90.00 for a buffet dinner per person at the Sheraton, F$40.00 for a Burger and Chips at the Hard Rock Cafe,F$9.00 for a bag of Snake Lollies and of course F$12.00 for a bar of chocolate....anywhere in Fiji). Shopping at the local supermarket in Nadi (a F$12.00 taxi fare who will wait for you at no extra charge :) ) was the best option with prices far more realistic and some prices cheaper than back home (F$2-3 for a 2Lt Coke). Eating at some of the restaurants or takeaway places at Port Denarau is the cheapest option unless you want to buy and cook in the rooms (not something I wanted to do on my holiday).Yes there is a McDonalds not far away (F$14.00 for a Big Mac Meal)
Back to the renovations.
Their seemed to be a lot of work about to start around the pool area at Worldmark which meant that the swim-up bar would be closed and another bar was to open NEAR the pool instead. The new restaurant was about to begin construction at the front of the resort and once that was completed then the poolside restaurant was going to close with a new Cafe type restaurant taking its place next to the NEW swim-up pool bar.
I must admit.....once they start building it doesn't seem to take them long to finish....maybe future guests could keep us all updated with this.
MY TOP TIPS
Take all your own Chocolate and Lollies in your check in luggage (declaring them of course)
Take your own breakfast ceral in new boxes/bags (declaring them as well)
Book everything to your credit card for the best exchange rate
Book all your tours at Port Denarau with the operators asking for a better price than the brochures (which most offered without me asking)
Take a taxi to the Inter Continental Resort on the CORAL COAST (45 minutes away) for a day on WHITE sandy beaches with turquoise BLUE water and heaps of fish (F$150-180 return trip)...I arranged this with a local Taxi driver (JAMES) who supplied an ESKY/CHILLY BIN, snorkling equipement and waited for us as we brought lunch at GLORIA JEANS (yes they have one in Fiji) in NADI on the way through....and yes...He waited the WHOLE day for us until we were done at NO EXTRA charge (at his insistance).
Take the Whale Tail or Captain Cook Criuse to your OWN island for the day
Hobbie Cat racing in the afternoon....(go on give it a go, its not that hard and the water temp is 30oC)
Say BULA with a smile and it becomes contagious
Drink Kava until your mouth goes numb
Use more suntan lotion than you first thought you would need
Walk around the beach THROUGH all the other resorts and try out their swimming pools, restaurants, cafes and Duty free (all whilst in your swimmers!!!!)

I hope you find this helpful...we can't wait to go back
BULA VINAKA

Spent a week at the Wyndham resort. The room is well appointed and very clean. The location excellent. The staff very friendly and helpful. There is a shop for provisions and a local fruit market on the grounds. The hotel provides lots of activities – we used the bicycles and went on 3 Kayak safaris. There are lots of activities for children. The restaurant provides good meals.

The pool is warm and inviting and you walk from the pool onto the beach. A great resort for a lazy family holiday.
Just a warning do not accept a lift back to the hotel from the Wyndham marketing staff at Denarau marina, they offered us a lift home one evening stating that the hotel provided them with free transport and then hit us for cash at the hotel. Not worth arguing with a VERY Large driver.

Suggest you get a Taxi to Nandi to buy provisions they are about half the price of the store at the resort. The food at the marina is also very reasonable.
The hotel has a well appointed Gym and offers message facilities. They are expanding the hotel. Will go back a great place for a great relax.

A word of warning about the Captain Cook Tours.
We booked a Captain Cook tour to Mystery Island. A total depressing underwhelming experience. The operator crammed about 85 of us onto the boat. When we got to the island they only had snorkels for 40 people. The equipment had not been cleaned and was not cleaned after it was used - it was just handed to the next person. The glass bottom boat has a crack in its base and the corral around the island is dead. There were 3 Kayaks for 85 people. To add insult to injury the kayaks were broken and took on water making them impossible to use. There was NOT enough food for all of us at lunch - they ran out of salad and fish at the BBQ. There are 3 small umbrellas for 85 people. There are other options if you wish to see the coral island - please use them.

This was our fist stay in Fiji. We lived in the O200s, which is in the corner just by the beach and 20 steps to the pool.
The pool is massive and covers pretty much the whole hotel area, which makes it very easy to hop to the water without a tedious 10-minute walk on the burning asphalt.
Rooms are nice and aircon worked great (every room and the lounge had one installed).
Shower pressure is huge, nice for a strong beam to clean sand and for very quick 1-minute showers.
We took our kid to the kids club a couple of times, it was free and very nice. Ladies are so nice their and they know how to treat kids.
Pool water was not bad, at least it did not smell chlorine, sometimes you get a frog in there, but it's so normal and fun :)
