Hotels Near JEWELS FIJI PTE LIMITED- SOFITEL HOTEL SHOPPING ARCADE in Denarau Island

We chose our favourite resort, Club Wyndham Denarau to celebrate our Dad's 80th birthday. Arrangements started in Australia and everything came together so well. The seafood buffet exceeded our expectations, with local delicacies like kokoda, lobster, prawn skewers, dalo and casava on the menu. The birthday cake was just as amazing! Dad and family thoroughly enjoyed the celebration. Thank you Terani for a wonderful job coordinating Dad's birthday and Myfa for your service and fussing over us during the night. Highly recommend celebrating your special days with Club Wyndham Denarau Island.

We had a great stay. Staff was friendly and accomodating to our needs including carrying out heavy luggage up and down 3 flights of stairs. They even allowed our visitors in which I find very rare. They also carried our food up to our balcony which was great. We had the Sunset suite at the very top - awesome view! Our room was nice and clean, super nice air con in the room and lounge area. Really nice kitchen area with a massive new fridge. Very convenient with the supermarket up the road and beachfront to chill. The ocean was sooo nice and hot to swim in. Downfall: Some of the levels smell like damp, wet carpet and was really bad . Some of our dishes were so dirty and their were cockroaches in the toaster, microwave and jug. Would be great to have a volley ball net on the beach and some activities on offer for guests such as horse riding & snorkelling etc. Also some entertainment would be great as the music next door was the only entertainment we got but sometimes it was far too loud that we couldn’t sleep. There was no fire show or kava ceremony and we were looking forward to that! The food at the ghost ship bar was really good especially the pizza and curry dishes! Be good if reception could help guests find the best taxi prices as some Of the locals that stand on the road really take advantage of travellers and charge you the world. We did have a great stay in the end! I would recommend this if you want to stay near town, the airport and want to experience outside of Denarau. Denarau did get boring for me sometimes so I liked this experience this time around.

Its business suites - includes kitchen and laundry in room. Always great to have these services. Beach isnt much, think walk along rather than swim. This is one of 3-4 hotels in a row beachfront. Guests primarily those passing thru to islands, backpackers and groups. The hotels’ beachfront bars were quiet during week in May but came alive for weekend. Restaurant on top floor had great views. Service very slow in restaurants of all these hotels. Staff very helpful and friendly.

The overall service is very good. The brand new hotel has just opened a week ago. Although not all restaurants are open, the service is great. Breakfast is a continental buffet. Eggs Benedict is good. During the day we went shopping downtown and ordered a pick-up service from the hotel's tour manager. The tour guides Vicky (day 1) and Sam (day 2) both did a great job not only picking us up from point to point but showing us around the city and giving us great tips while we were shopping. Even though we were a little late, they waited patiently for us. Overall, the stay at the Crowne Plaza, I would say, was not up to five star standards as not all restaurants were open. However, I would give them six stars for their service and sense of service. Looking forward to visiting again. Brand new hotel just opened for a week , though not all the restaurants are opened, the service is great. Breakfast is continental breakfast with buffet. The egg Benedict is good. During the day we go out to the city center to do some shopping n ordered the pickup service from the hotel tour managers. The guide Vicky (Day1) and Sam (Day2) both did a great job not just pick us up from point to point but also showing us around the city and give great advice when we r doing our shopping. They waited for us patiently even though we were running a little bit late. Overall the stay in Crowne Plaza I would say the hardware wasn't up to a 5 stars level yet due to not all the restaurants are opened. However, their service and the sense of servicing I would give a 6 stars to them. Looking forward to visit again.

We are an elderly couple. After arriving in Fiji, we found out how right we were to choose Leisure City Apartment. The property is well-equipped, clean and tidy, and has a very good location. You can find a large supermarket, bakery, bank, Burger King, at least two Chinese restaurants, and a Chinese supermarket in a 10-minute walk. Life is very convenient. The landlord is from Beijing and has lived in Fiji for more than ten years. He knows the local area very well. Because Fiji has more than 300 islands, and 20 to 30 of them have been developed, the landlord became our consultant and recommended two tourist islands with great tourism value. The tropical islands made us very happy. Usually we don't like to eat out, we like to cook by ourselves; so our homestay has obvious advantages. The kitchen here is very large, with a large refrigerator, a four-burner gas stove, an electric rice cooker, and a complete set of pots and pans. The next day we went to the supermarket to buy a local chicken, and cooked a large pot of chicken soup with carrots and potatoes, which was very delicious. The landlord is very enthusiastic. He drives to the farmer's market a few kilometers away every day to purchase agricultural and sideline products. Every time he asks us if we want to go and see? We drove with him twice and bought beef, eggs, local vegetables and fruits. The landlord has two cars to provide convenience to guests. In addition to the appropriate fees we asked him to pick us up at the airport, he took us to the pier twice and took us to the farmer's market twice, all for free. That night, the landlord also gave us fried breadfruit, a local specialty made by his wife, which was very crispy and delicious. The islands in Fiji are very beautiful, and the local indigenous people of Fiji are very warm and friendly to tourists, but Fiji is indeed still a developing country. The overall impression of Fiji left on us is very good; of course, this good feeling comes in large part from our landlord. So I would like to take this opportunity to write a message to thank our landlord again!

The staff was friendly. We booked a Family Villa through Tripadvisor Plus for 2 nights. Our flight on Fiji air was scheduled to arrive at 6AM in the morning. They held the room for us and it was ready when we arrived at 7AM. Room was ground level. The staff moved us to a Villa closer to the dining and pool because my wife walks with a cane and a shorter walking distance is better for her. Room was clean and spacious. I would stay again.

Transportation: From vuda Marina, the hotel provides free pick-up and drop-off. Going to other places needs to communicate with the island owner. The boss is super enthusiastic. Going to cloud9 also found his friends to send us. Although the boat to cloud9 is not good, it is very exciting (500fjd a boat) Hygiene: Health is still very clean, Sapporo is around the island after snorkeling, you will bring a lot of sand to the bed. Environment: The environment is great, the beach on the front of the hotel is very garbage, but the beach on the other side of the island is very good. Focus! Focus! Focus! Snorkeling around the island can see turtles, and luckily you can see ”friendly” sharks! Service: Service top! After the explosion of Shangri-La brand hotel (brand hotel is a lot of people, the service staff is not very enthusiastic, even ordering is not positive, water is not given). The service staff on the island will even remember your name to say hello. When there are many people, there are kava welcome parties and bonfire parties. It makes people feel that all aspects are served very thoughtfully. After returning to the main island, the hotel will arrange for you to rent. We emphasized that we have to play the watch (the driver who does not play the watch is slaughtered indiscriminately), the taxi from vuda Marina to Shangri-La hotel is less than 80 dollars, but from Shangri-La to the airport is slaughtered indiscriminately by brand hotel 120 dollars. Advantages: warm service, super enthusiasm, few people in the island, can play alone on the beach, the island is very quiet, the water around the island is also very good, there are many fish and turtles Disadvantages: There are many free activities (boating, paddleboarding) that need to be consulted by yourself. There are no bright corals nearby. The brunch is relatively simple. Wi-Fi is not good.

5 star prices, 3 star quality. Our bure was lovely, but not 5 star. The overall appearance was worn. The mosquito Net was cheap and had numerous holes. The garbage can in the bathroom was dented and rusty, the canvas roof was filthy…all not a big deal but when they are charging $720 FJ per night, it should be pristine. We had booked the Fiji Orchid for two nights to celebrate my 65th birthday, which was to be the second night. This was a highlight of our trip to Fiji. We planned on having my birthday dinner at the Orchid, after eating there our first night, we changed our plan. I ordered the consume ($26) it was a small serving with a few veggies in it, tasteless and bland. I ordered the creamy curried prawns as my main ($40) the prawns (several small prawns or large shrimp) were over cooked and tough. And they were not in a curry sauce, rather a sweet seafood like sauce. The exact sauce was served as a condiment at the Boatshed where we ended up for my birthday dinner.(and had an excellent meal) The worst part of the evening was the service. I realize that our server was “in training”, she was lovely, but over anxious. She hovered, walked by, constantly checking on our progress and ready to whisk away items finished with. Mid meal I put down my fork to take a sip of my drink, she was immediately there asking if I was done. It was not a relaxing meal, I left the meal feeling stressed and unhappy with the food and service. I told my husband, I will not go back for my birthday dinner!

Generally speaking, it is a good cost-effective Fiji outlying island resort. The highlight is of course that it is only for adults (basically couples or couples), and it is not far from the island (one hour boat ride) plus four round trips a day, and you can even transition without the island. . After all, four-star service, coupled with Fiji Time, can not expect too much. For example, the basic questions asked by the front desk before check-in are generally answered within a few days, but if I want to make more complicated arrangements such as activity reservations or details (partly because the activity department of the resort is relatively independent and free), I send N many emails and even make direct international phone calls. In the past, the effect was limited, of course, this situation is also relatively common in Fiji. The people are nice, just not up to the standard of domestic or Bali Phuket service. In addition, if you live in his bure, pay attention to the problem with the indoor shower design. When washing, it must leak water to the ground outside, and then the whole bathroom will be very wet and slippery. The staff will tell you that most of the guests use outdoor showers... But if you still tend to use indoor ones, my personal response is to put a bath towel in the door to absorb water + block it. The room cleaning is in place, such as mopping the floor every day (this is rare in five-star chain hotels), but there will still be Xiaoqiang (and big and small) haunting… Another point is that, for some reason, a certain book says that his family's meals are very good. We ate it, especially the first few days most dishes (including breakfast) were overly salty! The last day was a little better. I don't know if the middle chef changed or if we all ordered the dishes on the thunder (in that case, the thunder points would be a bit too much~) But looking back, it's still a shame. After overcoming these non-deal breaker issues, the overall experience was relatively pleasant (picked a few photos for reference). If it is the first time to go to Fiji and can book a special room, it is recommended to try it.
