Caqelai Island Adults Only Holidays

The property has two parts, new building in white and the original establishment with higher category rooms (adult only). The central A/C in the new building is very strong, even when it's turned off. When the balcony door is open, it starts to get some moisture on the wall and smell like mold. The room is designed with an open concept which is suitable for a couple with intimate relationship (no kid). The bathroom is completely open with a sink and glass doors (no lock) to separate the shower and toilet areas. There is no hanger inside the shower if you want to dress/undress. The highest category room with balcony facing the sea has a wonderful view, but poorly isolated and hear people talking in the next room. Also close to the multi-functioning event hall. There was a wedding in the resort during our stay, with loud music 3 nights in the roll till 11pm. Breakfast is okay with some varieties but messy when it's busy. There is not much outside the resort, and the on-site restaurants make no effort to offer meal choices for Lunch and Dinner. Right on the beach with nice landscapes, two swimming pools need some refurbishments, the gym is very small with limited equipment, WIFI is very bad & unstable. Resort offers complementary use of kayak & paddle board which is a plus. Hotel stuff is quite nice especially the cleaning crew. Make sure you check the statement regularly since the deposit appear and disappear on the statement from time to time.

Staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome with top notch service.

Lovely island with friendly staff and very nice beaches and views. The bathroom in the hotel room wasn’t completely clean in some places but the bed was comfortable and the overall decor was nice, and the air con worked well. There was a large range of good food on offer and there were lots of activities and excursions available to do each day. If you want a purely quiet, undisturbed, retreat-style location then you may want to go somewhere else as there is a bit of relaxed background bustle throughout the day, however the vibe on the island is still very relaxing.

It was perfect for our extended families needing to stay close to Nadi International Airport (5 min drive) for an early morning flight to Australia or, in our case, a late flight to Canada. Thank you to the hosts for allowing us to check out at 7 pm. Plenty of bedrooms exist for large or multiple families, each with its own ensuite. The communal family area overlooked the pool and views of the Fijian mountains. The pool was super-clean and a suitable temperature for extended swims. The entire estate is behind two security gates, so we felt very safe during the evening. There was also a brand-new supermarket only 3 minutes drive that had everything you need to drinks, snacks and cooking. Our only concerns were that the WiFi was only working in the communal area and that the air-conditioning wasn't turned on before arrival, which required a few hours to cool down each room. The hosts greeted us on arrival and showed us everything we needed. Thanks again for your hospitality.
