Hotels in Fiji

I travelled to Fiji not really knowing what I was looking for, and Waya Lailai ended up giving me everything I didn’t even realise I needed. I’ve travelled solo for years and nowhere has ever made me feel the way this place did. From the moment I arrived, it felt like community, it felt like home, it felt like family. The people here are the whole experience. Honestly, every person I met, from the staff to the other travellers, made me feel so held and so welcomed. As a solo woman, and a solo Black woman, you never know how you’ll be received, but I have never felt so embraced in my life. Tailo, Melea, Josh, Andi, Nathan, Mosi and so many others whose names I sadly didn’t write down, thank you. You all made my time here so special. My bure was perfect. Overlooking the ocean, so peaceful. I told them I was celebrating a belated birthday and they went above and beyond. The whole village sang for me in the morning and they made the most beautiful gluten free cake surrounded by hibiscus petals. I honestly could have cried. Even with my dietary restrictions, nothing was ever a problem. Everything was done with kindness. This was also where I snorkelled for the first time and it happened to be with sharks. I was terrified at first but Josh made me feel so safe and supported. He stayed with me, helped me relax and by the end I had taken off my life jacket and I was actually swimming freely. Seeing the coral, the fish and the sharks up close was unbelievable. There is honestly a whole world under the water and it’s beautiful. Because it was low season, it felt very intimate with the group of travellers who were there at the same time. (They were all incredible btw - I feel like the people who also travel here are down to earth, kind and so genuine.) The staff even organised a beach day for us on another island, cooked for us on an open fire and we spent the whole day laughing, talking, playing music, swimming. It was one of my favourite days.

The perfect place to be if you are looking for a calm, friendly and cozy place away from the mainstream resorts, which are all most likely all the same as others. Deepika and her Team are amazing and the owners are real Legends!

stunning views and value for money

Clean, safe, and huge rooms. I was given the largest room, with water views! The attached restaurant and bar are great, and they will even bring meals to your room! The included breakfast is generous and yummy. The staff are super friendly and helpful.

Super friendly and attentive staff. Spacious rooms - we had two Deluxe (family with three kids) in the building next to the main building. Excellent beach for snorkeling. Nice pool. Really good restaurant.

The staff were phenomenal, they were always cheerful, friendly and helpful; definitely the best asset of Sofitel Fiji Resort. The pools, restaurants, bars and facilities were also exceptional.

The staff was exceptionally friendly and the breakfast was wonderful. The amenities were first class for a historic older hotel. Loved the back patio where you enjoy the view. Will be back!

I liked the layout of the many swimming pools near to all rooms rather than walking around to the main one.

Everything. The staff, the rooms, the food, the pool, and the view: We really enjoyed our one night at the Holiday Inn in rooms 153 and 232. It's a good and safe place for family holidays.  Furthermore, the workers were fantastic. They know how to handle guests so they can enjoy their stay at the Holiday Inn, like greeting everyone with Bula and smiling at every guest at the hotel as we feel at home. Thank you, Holiday Inn, for your excellent hospitality

The friendly staff and location

The hotel location is excellent - just a few hundred meters away from landmark sites, such as Albert Park, the Thurston botanical garden and the Fiji Museum. The comfort of my room was great and the view was exceptional, amazing, superb. But above all, the greatest asset of the Tanoa Plaza Hotel is its staff. I began my stay in Suva with two days of leisure activities, staying on for another five days to run a workshop with participants from 6 countries from the region. The hotel general manager Mere went above and beyond to provide great customer service and ensure that everything runs smoothly for us. Special thanks also to Anisha (Reception) for her great professionalism, efficiency and helpfulness. Book at the Tanoa Plaza, Suva to feel welcome, cared for and to enjoy Suva to the fullest.

Staff are very good customer services and the location is very closed to the airport. Free pick up and drop off.
