The room was okay, but the bathroom was really mouldy. BUT on sunday night straight accross the road at bamboo cafe there is a Lovo Lovo - traditional ground cooked meal - sort of like a kiwi hangi but even better :) You have to go pre pay it for $15 in the afternoon and sign up.

To be fair, I probably stayed at a terrible time - right after the flooding in Nadi at the beginning of April. When I arrived on the 3rd of April, I had already sacrificed the previous night because my flight was cancelled in Seoul. Not that the reception even cared to mention that...Upon arriving, the place was in absolute chaos... More

we were 3 families (2+1,2+2, 2+3+ infant) smugglers cater not just for backpackers wanting to share dorms but families as well. They have some very good family rooms (large family room with kitchen as well as interconnecting rooms). We also really enjoyed food, entertainment, the fact that we could use swimming pool until 10pm. Staff went extra mile to accommodate... More

I stayed in an 8-bed female only dorm but there were only 4 guests in it. It is very clean, spacious, quiet and has air conditioning. There are 2 ensuite bathrooms which are also clean but the shower was not always hot. Each bed has its own personal light so the main room light doesn't have to be on when... More

I stayed here twice - before going to the Yasawas and when returning. I was on a budget, so I stayed in the dorm. At check-in they give you a towel and the key to your bedside locker, which is helpful. This is a high-traffic place and can get quite noisy and dirty quickly. The dorm is air-conditioned, which is... More

I was unable to fly due to sickness and so i am here at the moment. If you want rude Fiji staff then come here. They don't have MILK??????? That's all i wanted!! No answers and very disorganized. Yellow towels and hair in the sink. Not happy considering I paid for a great room looking over the ocean. More

We used this place as our hub when travelling Fiji. Before and after Island Hopping the Yasawas, and then before we left Fiji. It's a friendly place, with clean and good rooms. We stayed in the double rooms, so no ideas how the dorm is. But the rooms were big, and it's a good standard for being Fiji. You get... More
