“nice spot but needs attention”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Stayed one night while waiting for diveboat. Toilet seat with urine on it. no water in fridge (tho' hotel info advised against drinking tap water and said bottled water in fridge.)
Best news-- a beautiful spot with a lovely view of islands in the lagoon.
food good--and service ok--except one unbelievably rude waiter who clearly took an instant dislike to us and basically refused to wait on us ( we did get someone else to bring us one course)--but we waited in vain for desert menu--then for bill; only when we finally got up after being studiously ignored for at least 20 minutes, did he chase after us to get signatures.

Through no fault of hotel, it rained during our brief stay--and so could not use the nice pool (the only available activity.)

Room Tip: I think most rooms face the lagoon. Unfortunately our room had no chairs in the small covered patio...

“Great Value!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012

We stayed here for 5 nights while attending a conference and were comfortable. Though we arrived much earlier then check in time, we were welcomed with a drink and our room was ready in no time at all.
For the price we paid our waterfront room was very good value - modern and clean and the air con was the most efficient we encountered during our stay in Fiji!
Only downside was bed linen and rug had permanent staining and the mini fridge didn't work very well but otherwise room was great. Comfortable bed, nice big shower and free internet access thrown in was a nice touch.
Food was fresh and tasty but room service could be improved on in as far as consistency (Items ordered were not always as described on menu when we got them or some elements were missing in dishes).
Housekeeping, front desk and F&B staff aswell as the hotel manager Simon were all a delight to deal with and we would stay again next time we are in Suva.

“Great stay with new rooms”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2012

person found this review helpful

We stayed on a very cheap rate after ringing the hotel direct from Australia and doing better than the Accor website. When we arrived we found we were in rooms that hadn't benefitted from the hotel reurbishment in progress and they were extremely ordinary.
Told my wife and son not to unpack anything and went to reception and eventually got to speak to the duty manager who showed us a just completed room in a wing that still had workmen in the other rooms. He promised to give us the very nice newly refurbished room if we promised not to complain about noise from the workmen. We were happy with that deal and took the room and never had any hassles with the workmen.
Loved the pool and the new bar/reception area that looks straight out to Lami Bay and tiny island outcrops sticking up out of the water, fantastic view.
The restaurant was open air also looking out to the bay sitting right on the water, absolutely amazing location with fantastic food as well.
All the staff were really nice and we always make a point of being polite to anyone and everyone who may be working while we relax on holiday.
Caught local buses into Suva to see movies and walk around. Only got hassled once with the old ploy of being given a free wooden souvenir that they then carve your name in and make you buy but I was awake to that and stopped things before he got going and we walked on.
Hotel had some live entertainers who were really nice to our son and tried to get him up to sing but he was too shy.
Great hotel in great location. Used their tour desk one day to book day trip with motorised canoe ride, stop at "traditional" Fijian village where lunch was bbq lovo, (cooked with hot coals and buried in ground), as well as having fresh cocoanuts to drink and eat.
Also went for walk and swim in natural pool with thundering waterfall, a great day.
