Hotels With Pools in Viti Levu Group, Fiji

I don’t usually leave negative reviews, but I feel compelled to share my experience in the hope that it encourages some improvements. Unfortunately, my stay at Nalagi Hotel was far below my expectations. From the moment I checked in, the experience got off to a disappointing start. The front desk attendant was cold and unwelcoming, never made eye contact, and didn’t smile once. She appeared annoyed to be there, which was a stark contrast to the genuine warmth and hospitality I experienced at other hotels in Nadi during this trip. The room was spacious, but it lacked thoughtful design and attention to detail. The main light switch is inconveniently located below the television, with no bedside lamps or nightstands, meaning that if you wanted to read in bed or simply turn the lights off, you had to get up each time. There was also a persistent unpleasant odor coming from the bathroom drain, and overall cleanliness and maintenance left much to be desired. The hotel feels worn and tired, as though very little care has gone into its upkeep. That’s perhaps the biggest disappointment, because the property has so much potential that simply isn’t being realized. The final straw came on my second night. I was repeatedly woken between 1:00 and 2:00 a.m. by neighboring guests who were aggressively banging on a nearby door so loudly it sounded as though they were trying to break it down. Once they eventually got into the room, the noise continued. I called reception to report the disturbance and was told security would be sent, but if they did come, it had little effect. Eventually, I had to get out of bed and ask the guests myself to keep the noise down. I genuinely wanted to enjoy my stay, but the combination of poor service, lack of maintenance, hygiene concerns, and the handling of the late-night disturbance made for a very disappointing experience. With better management, staff training, and investment in the property, Nalagi Hotel could be a wonderful place to stay. Sadly, that was not my experience.

We had such a lovely stay at Outrigger. It was just the break we needed. The food is good and the drinks are decent. The prices were better than I was expecting. We ended up not doing a package and spent far less than we would have done on a package. Loved the adult pool, the only pain is that it sometimes closes early to set up for weddings.

The First Landing seems a bit out of touch and was surely one of the first hotels in the area. It now has a retro charm in many ways, but when I was there, there was a lot of painting and renovation work going on. The grounds are incredibly spacious and very quiet. The rooms are quite large, and there are big verandas in front of the bungalows, protected by mosquito nets, similar to those in Florida. However, the prices are a bit steep, and you have to shell out 10 Fijian dollars for a bottle of still water. Massages are also significantly cheaper in town, though perhaps not as idyllic in the spa pavilion. Otherwise, it's located outside of Nadi, and you really need a car. Next door (within walking distance) is the yacht harbor with a nice bar, where there's always something going on and locals and tourists mingle. For the days leading up to your connecting flight, it's definitely nicer and more relaxing than staying at Nadi Beach next to the runway.

The property was huge, with multiple restaurants to choose from. The rooms were obviously not easy to get to due to the distance, but there were buggies available to hop on/off. I felt the rooms were way behind modern-style hotel rooms where charging/power ports were easily available, and near the beds, by the side tables. Overall we had a good stay though.

The boat ride to the hotel, even though it was only a few minutes, was a pleasant experience. However, while the room was spacious, it was a shame that Wi-Fi wasn't free. The room also felt a bit gloomy and dim, and the breakfast was just average, lacking any special touch. DoubleTree usually gives out cookies at check-in, but since they're the same everywhere, I thought it would be nice if they offered a local flavor instead. However, dinner, a steak served right on the beach, was delicious and made for a very satisfying evening.

The rooms are tastefully decorated and well-equipped, and the views are absolutely perfect. The restaurant quality is also good, and watching the sunset at the fish bar was a fantastic experience. The staff are all incredibly well-trained, enthusiastic, and professional—it's not just a few individuals, but every single employee is welcoming and ready to assist with anything you need. Marriott's hotel training really shines through here. If I had to nitpick, the hotel sofas are a bit dated and starting to yellow slightly, and while the bed sheets are clean, they also show a bit of age with a slight yellowish tint. On a positive note, the bed and pillows were incredibly comfortable; I rarely sleep this well in a hotel. This is definitely a highly recommended top-tier hotel in Fiji.

We chose Fiji for our honeymoon and stayed at Radisson Blu Resort. First of all, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Angel Osborne for making our stay truly unforgettable. When we checked in on our first day, Angel kindly upgraded our room and surprised us with a complimentary bottle of champagne to celebrate our honeymoon. Not only that, but she always greeted us with a warm smile and frequently checked if there was anything else she could do to make our stay more comfortable. When we mentioned that our return flight was scheduled late in the day, she thoughtfully arranged a late check-out for us, which made a huge difference. I would also like to thank Aesta for helping us book our tours. Thanks to her assistance, we were able to secure spots on a wonderful tour at the last minute and enjoy an amazing experience without missing the opportunity. We had a great time swimming and enjoyed the variety of activities and programs offered by the resort. However, there were a few aspects of the room's cleanliness that could be improved. We noticed some hair left behind by previous guests in the bathroom, a few ants, a slight moldy smell in the room, and the refrigerator did not appear to have been thoroughly cleaned. That said, the kindness and hospitality of the resort staff more than made up for these shortcomings. Angel's exceptional service, in particular, brought great joy to my wife and made our honeymoon even more special. Thank you very much for such a memorable stay. We would love to visit again in the future.

The staff and service was great. Loved the breakfast, plenty to eat. The room was clean and big, bed was very comfortable. Well maintained gardens, right on the beach. Beautiful sunsets, plenty of free sunbeds. 2 great swimming pools to enjoy. We loved the themed dinner nights and the Polynesian fire dancers on a Saturday night. Great music, atmosphere and bar. Loved our stay and can't wait to come back ❤️

Check in was after 3pm, check out 10:30 , and you have to get the towel from the reception. Too many rules  plastered in the room as if you are going to rob them. A deposit of FJD50 in cash is required (no drinks in the room whatsoever, just instant coffee). I asked if I can check out before 12nn but was allowed only up to 11am. When I went back to get my luggage, the lady told me that I was supposed to have checked out already, without even asking if I already did. Only the cleaning staff were helpful. Would not recommend.

We weren't very impressed with the service. Our flight was at 22:50, but the hotel doesn't offer a late checkout option, so we had to pay for a full extra day. For some reason, beach towels are not free—they charge $20 to rent one, $5 for each subsequent wash, and a $15 deposit. Towels are generally a hassle at this hotel; when we asked for fresh room towels, the maid said there were none clean and we had to wait until 17:00 for them to be washed... 🤷‍♂️.. On the bright side, the food and dishes deserve praise—the meals are delicious, service is fast, and the waiters are friendly. The beach has grey sand and isn't very photogenic.. 🤷‍♂️.. To sum up, the hotel is okay for a two-to-three-night stay, but it's not worth the money.
