Overall, I would definitely recommend Sandalwood Lodge. The staff were pleasant and helpful. It was clean and everything was in working order. The bathroom (shower and toilet) were decent and clean. It was also a nice addition to have the kitchenette in-room, with dishes provided. The bed is big and fits 2 or maybe even 3 comfortably. There is an... More

We have stayed frequently at the Sandalwood over the years. It is a great value place to use as a base when you are in the Nadi area. An important feature is the very friendly staff - take the time to chat and you will meet some very caring and kind people. Our room was very well kept. In fact... More

What a wonderful place to stay for the budget traveller. Set back from the busy Queens Rd, Sandalwood is truly peace and quiet. We were based here for a month and not once did we have any issues, It was nice to have the kitchenette available for when we were tired of eating out, with the supermarket just 5 minutes... More

Sandalwood has been a great 'first base' for a few visits to Fiji and never disappoints. Great staff, clean, comfortable and self contained - all the things that make a difference when travelling with small children. Staff are genuinely friendly and seem to enjoy their work and meeting new guests. The pool is perfect for children as there is a... More

I recently returned from another trip to Fiji. I booked a room at the Sandalwood Lodge for the duration of my stay. Having stayed here many times...I know what to expect. Again the staff were fantastic. This has always been a very friendly place to stay. There are quit a few regulars and it is always fun to chat. We... More

found Sandalwood Lodge on the internet, booked it easily via e-mail, self-catering rooms were clean and comfortable, staff friendly and helpful, we have lived in Fiji, and Fijian friends also stay here by preference to other hotels. If you want to be self-catering this is ideal. Interesting other folks also staying here. Pool was clean and sits in a beautiful... More

This quiet, motel-style hotel, operated by Fijian, is conveniently located off the main road, 10 min ride from the airport and from Nadi town (taxi FJD 4) and about 15 min from Port Denarau. For this price don't expect luxury, but for this price you can also find better in the area. The basics are here: all rooms are fairly... More

I stayed again at the Sandalwood Lodge for almost 3 weeks. As always the staff and management were friendly and helpful on every occasion. I enjoyed relaxing and reading by the small pool. Great place to sit and pass the time with a G and T. The reception desk easily book cruises/trips. The kitchen in the room provided the basics... More

Reviewers to date seem either to love or hate the Sandalwood Lodge, and which will apply to you depends on what you expect from budget accommodation. My family and I needed somewhere cheap for a Nandi stopover, that was quiet but close to the main road (for restaurants, taxis, buses), clean and safe, that had easy, free airport transfers. Sandalwood... More
