“Smugglers Fiji”
We're used to 5 star hotels. This is not one and we didn't expect it to be.
“Good for the money!”
Overall the hotel was satisfactory. While we were there the hotel provided some entertainment in the evenings. Food was ok and reasonably priced.Not a great deal to do in the immediate area and there are no shops nearby so all guests are forced to eat form the limited local selection.Easy to relax but a bit noisy music cds play from morning to night non stop!
“The hotel is ok if one only stays for a holiday.”
The reception services were good. The Continental breakfast was boring as everyday was the same. The room I booked was not suitable and had to downgrade to another room. The room was next the the canteen exhaust and was very noisy. We were bitten by "bed Bugs" the first two nights before being moved to another room. Overall I could only rate the hotel at the low end of the satisfaction as I have not had experience with other hotels in the locale with similar rates. Compare the rates and quality with an Australian hotel / motel, this one has a lot of work to do. May be it only suits some younger persons who only like the beach, yet the beach was not clean. Transport was ok as there were always taxi waiting outside, however the fixed rate of travel to locale short distance away compared to the "meter" rate offered in Suva is not compatible.
“Interesting Spot”
Booked at this location for convience,close to Nadi and Lotoka wanted something central.It was a nice spot right on the beach which we were after. The beach is not a beach for swimming there are better places in Fiji for that,Smugglers was a friendly with helpful staff ,but it is not a place to lie around the pool and relax ,book a resort for that type of holiday.All in all Smugglers was good ,position ok ,but if l were to go back ,l would stay in a resort around the coral coast.(Nadi and Lotoka are not that interesting after a couple of hours)
“Great place for a few nights”
Me and my husband stayed here for 5 nights, which is plenty for this area, it's a great place for a stop off before heading to the other islands or before a flight - wouldn't stay any longer. Not far from the airport plus they will come and pick you up - you can use the phone free of charge in Nadi airport. If you are a couple just bear in mind there are alot of back packers that stop here. Staff were friendly and very helpful. Would definitely stay here again for a few nights before moving on.
“Good for one night stopover, no longer”
Close to airport. Complimentary shuttle van was indeed waiting for me upon arrival and I got in about 12:15 a.m. Close to airport. Good for a one night stopover but no longer than that. Nothing really around it and the beach is nowhere near as nice as any of the beaches on the surrounding islands. Stay for one night if you must refresh, then move to an outer island. Check in was easy. Room was small and not very clean. Staff tried hard, but their standards are lower than what I'm used to I guess. Lots of young people and solo travelers. Good friendly guests to hang with.
“Tina's Review”
Staff very helpful. Showers were a bit dodgy - either no hot water or very little water coming out. Meal at restaurant was good and Wednesday night show is very good. We used the family room which was well set up for our needs travelling with kids. Hotel is good for brief stay whilst at Nadi probably wouldn't recommend as main hotel for stay in Fiji.
“Could be better”
Could be better, we dissapointed with the cleaning of the room, i found a cockroach in the toilet kill there and the cleaners pass in the next day and the cockroach wasin the same place this was bad
“not at all like a hotel !”
I did exspect a lot more, because i thought that it also gonna be like a hotel and not just a hostel. But the staff didn't even care about us, they forgot orders or didn't take them, they couldn't help with problems and were just unfriendly all the time! I loved the time in Fiji, but i would never go back to this place or recommend it to anybody else. It's probably nice for one night or even two, but there are a lot of better place just next doors. The prices in the restaurant were also incredibly expensive compared to the Restaurants and Bars next door. So if you wanna go there just make sure to just stay a few nights there or go directly to another place ;)
“not really a hotel”
this resort was described as a beach resort hotel it was more of a backpackers.We had requested a triple room but this was cramped and we had to book another room to make the stay tolerable.For backpacking standards the resort was very good but definately not a 3 star hotel in my opinion.After saying this the staff were very friendly and helpful Hired a car to try to see more !!!!!!!!!!!ABSOLUTE WRECK AND WOULD PROBABLY NOT BEEN ALLOWED ON ROADS IN UK
