Book Hotels in Southern Islands

"Our fourth trip there so that tell's you how much we love it. The staff, primarily the local grown staff, are incredibly kind and engaging. The food is at the same level with a "Thank You Cake" on our last night, a Breakfast Chef who made special gluten free pancakes for my Daughter N Law, and the Head Chef delivering a Crab Macaroni & Cheese to "test" for their Summer menu. All facilities are immaculate. It truly lives up to the Resort name as we don't see a need to go elsewhere even when we had a rental car. Snorkeling is a 5 +; don't try elsewhere (unless an outer island) as honestly it's no better. Local masseuses next door, do it! Currency exchange with hotel but only up to 200FJD so if you need more, do it at airport. What has digressed since Reef Safari is gone is Kayak/Surfboard availability and times. Specific tides dictate this due to reef exposure but when I ( 45+ years surfing) pressed on launching from Sand Bar, they said no. Hopefully tide times coincide with their operating hours for you. Surf? Yes, there is surf out front but you need a westerly swell to hit the reef. If you want more of the local vibe, get a ride to Sigatoka down the road for the Farmers Market and shops. Intercontinental Fiji is extremely accommodating and earns every bit of a 5 star. They think of everything and deliver on it with a smile."

"Excellent place to stay for families , staff friendly and attentive. Kids had plenty to eat and the choice was varied "

"We stayed in a beach front villa ( 2 adults and 2 kids). The villa was suprisingly big and spacious. Super friendly staff and everything well kept and clean. Great place to bring your book and wind down while the kids entertain themselves. Also the best thing about this place is there is no TV in the room so bring your playing cards and have fun. We really loved our stay at Hideaway"

"We stayed in an Ocean Deluxe Grand Room on the ground level and unfortunately the room condition was extremely disappointing. There was a very strong musty/mouldy smell throughout our stay that made the room feel damp and unhealthy. Honestly, I don’t believe rooms in this condition should be sold. To be fair, the staff and management genuinely tried to help. We raised the issue the morning after arrival and, due to the resort being full, they explained they couldn’t move us until Wednesday (3 days later). They arranged a deep clean, which we appreciated. Another Ocean Deluxe Grand Room became available on Tuesday in the next block, however it had the same strong smell, suggesting this may affect multiple ground floor rooms. What saved our experience here is that the staff were absolutely beautiful. They’re warm, caring and professional throughout. I truly felt sorry for them having to manage guest dissatisfaction around room conditions that seem beyond their control. We paid around AUD $600 per night excluding breakfast, so the room quality felt very hard to justify at this price point. There were definitely highlights though. Our kids loved the pools, water park, mini golf and buffet. We celebrated our anniversary at Takali Restaurant and the staff made it incredibly special. The CHI Spa was also fantastic and highly recommended. The resort has a lovely family atmosphere and wonderful staff, but the accommodation quality did not match the luxury branding or pricing."

"We were purposely rented a room that had drainage problems and smelt of rotten eggs (706 & 708) all the hotel staff including the manager was aware of it and their excuse was they know there was an issue but the previous guest did not say anything.The manager confirmed that these 2 rooms have drainage problems but they still rented to us . It ruined our holiday my kids got sick , we could not figure out where the smell was coming from , after a long flight and being part of a wedding party we basically went to the hotel room just to sleep . My husband had to spray cologne at night to kill smell so we could sleep. .My family has still. not recovered from the bad odour ."

"Great"
