Staff were fabulous. Food was below average and took a long time to come out of the kitchen. You get what you pay for, however the resort is quite dated. The beds in the room were extremely uncomfortable causing me back pain.

The resort itself is fine. Nice layout, great pool, excellent breakfast and mostly comfortable rooms. It’s the little things: making you pay for wifi and then it cutting out halfway through your allotted time or the absolute gouging at the restaurant or not being able to turn off AC so it’s freezing cold . Considering what I paid, it just doesn’t seem commensurate with the experience.

Thin walls can hear your neighbours. Upon checking in, there’s bo trolley to transport luggage to the room which was at the very back. To see the fire show, you have to make dinner reservations. I booked a massage and the massage lady didn’t show up. Nice fire show interactive with guests and that was the only thing we really enjoyed.

The staff were amazingly friendly and made us feel very welcome. There is a very relaxed vibe about the place. The two swimming pools are extremely well maintained. The reason for a good not an excellent is that the resort is looking somewhat tired, the food was very average, and simple requests were forgotten (like a booking for a massage and a request for beach towels). However, given the price point I’d come again, especially given the lovely staff.

A first and regrettable trip to Fiji
Location - pretty far from big city Nadi and Suva. But it is near to a great public beach Natadola Beach. Definitely need a rental car to move around. The car rental is pretty expensive, and the petrol is about FJD 3.00 per liter. Hotel shows aged condition all around. The setup of the toilet is quite weird as it does not have a full-sized door to keep the unpleasant odor and ventilation noise down. The only plus point is that the staff are friendly and warm. Food is average. The breakfast is not worth paying for it.

Service was good. Kitchen was closed before 7.24pm when we arrived as there were hardly any guests. They managed to whip something for us. Quiet, peaceful surroundings, with a good pool. Bit secluded and not much to do or see. Rooms were spacious and clean. Good for a night or 2.

I liked the free DVD rental to watch in the room, since the property is across the Queen's Road from the beach and not so easy to go for a stroll or swim. I also liked that there ware no mosquitos in the room, since it was sprayed just after I checked in, although the toxic fume made me nautious. I didn't like the insecurity of having to write down my credit card details on a paper for the security deposit, despite having given it to Expedia.

friendly staff was the main bonus and was enough communal areas for us to make friends with some other families which was great so positives is it has a friendly, relaxed vibe. definitely a place to stay as a base to cut costs in Fiji however, I was disappointed on arrival as the pictures made it look more upscale/better decor than it is. also there are many older reviews which made it hard to know what we were really getting before arriving. breaksfast was great, but dinner really wasn't great and was expensive, although there is an amazing local restaurant down the road, half the price double the portions. TV didn't work - needed to put on DVDs kids pool water colour wasn't great- didn't go in I think pre COVID would have been great where you could go over to Shangri-La. now they don't let people not staying there in it detracts from gecko being a place to stay as you have to go by car to everywhere- nothing else is nearby. there were other beachfront places which were similar prices which it retrospect could have chosen but had gone with the option of going to ShangriLa the cultural night however with dance and fire show was really good. its an ok place to stay if you just want a place to sleep however I think they are rebuilding the cultural village they used to have. once this is up and running again and a few revamps I think it will be a good place to stay at for at least a few nights and definitely does make the budget stretch further in Fiji
