Boutique Hotels in Viti Levu

"This stay at The Pearl South Pacific Resort was a real moment of happiness and relaxation. I highly recommend this establishment to all those who are looking for a luxurious and authentic getaway in the heart of Fiji. I only want one thing: to go back as soon as possible!"

"The staff were very friendly and helpful during my stay with them. I had noticed a bedsheet was not completely clean, but I was able to find cleaning staff easily and they were able to resolve the problem quickly. The Epic Transfers and Tours staff were especially helpful when I had an incident with a taxi driver that was unpleasant to me. The rooftop pool and bar was nice in appearance and the bar was nicely used, but the pool water was cold and nobody was using it. Additionally, although being a non-smoking hotel, there appeared to be old bins at the lifts / elevators with the cigarette ashtray-like tops on them; to be a non-smoking location, it needs to be clearly demonstrated as being just that, particularly where some countries still allow smoking in their hotels. The biggest concern outside the hotel rooms, though, was the buffet breakfasts, which sometimes had soiled tongs used by other guests that were not being replaced quickly enough with clean tongs; food safety needs to be a serious concern for any establishment serving food. The room itself looked rather clean, had a patio looking at the wooded area out back; however, the patio door was not easy to lock and this was a bit of a concern with insects being readily present. There was also a sofa that could convert into a sofa bed, but it looked like it had a dent in the left arm. The bathroom was often stocked with new toiletries, perhaps too often as I was receiving a new bar of soap every day, but there was also mould trying to seep through the grouting behind the sink; I did inspect this and it seemed to be contained completely within the grouting, but it is a concern to be resolved soon. Additionally, though, the bathroom would sometimes smell horrible, as if you could smell sewage from the ventilation; there was a floor drain that could be the cause of this, but the ceiling ventilation looked like it needed cleaning and it was not sealed properly to the ceiling, either. There was a toilet paper holder, but it was poorly placed and it was evident it replaced another toilet roll holder that was in the correct location. Inside the shower, there was what appeared to be a stain running vertically down the wall where the shower head was located. The towels were kept clean and most had proper hotel labels on them, but some had the name of the hotel written on them, seemingly with a permanent marker, which was quite strange, especially for a hotel with a 4* rating. The hotel has a 4* rating on Trip.com and has the amenities to be that, but the quality of those amenities needs to support their existence; otherwise, they cannot be considered. The staff were friendly and trying to make the stay as nice for me as they possibly could manage, so the issues mainly appear to be from a failure of the management and ownership not regularly checking the rooms and updating the quality and ambience of its hotel. Simply having 4* amenities does not automatically make a hotel 4* and although Trip.com has it listed as 4*, I would rank this as being a 3* hotel at the moment as they need to make further improvements to the hotel so that the quality of the amenities will make for a valid 4* rating in the future.  When looking at the hotel via any booking site, check out the other sites, too, and look up the hotel website, too, as that should exist. The images I saw on Trip.com were quite enticing, but they also include a picture of Jack’s of Fiji, which was not available on site, and random pictures of the outdoors that were nowhere near the hotel as it is located more inland and not by the ocean. The hotel is the biggest and most expensive element of any holiday/ vacation, so it is important to spend more time investigating each eligible hotel prior to seeking a room, and do not feel rushed by websites telling you there are only so many rooms left; there are many hotels in each location, so there are always options available."

"Although the room is a bit old, it has complete facilities and the fan is very comfortable. The environment outside the hotel is very good, with large green areas and swimming pools, which is very suitable for bringing children to play. Many foreigners play in the water with their children there. The hotel's restaurants are very good, with many types of breakfast. There is a Thai food shop in the lobby that is very delicious, which is definitely one of the best in Nadi. The hotel staff is also very friendly, bula~left bula~right, which is very interesting. Moreover, this hotel is the best place to watch the sunset in the port area. It faces due west, and the sunset is very beautiful. As a hotel for transit to the outer islands, it is worth staying!"

"The hotel is in the close proximity of the Nadi airport. It takes about 5 mins for you to walk to the hotel from the airport, super convenient especially when you rush to the airport. However, the hotel do provide shuttle bus service to the airport. The restaurant is nice with live singer while you’re enjoying your meal. Room, bathroom and other facilities etc. are clean and tidy. Overall, it’s a pleasure to stay! 👍😅"

"amazing facilities including pools, restaurants and a gym. Lovely views across the resort and also a beautiful sunset!! All staff were so great and welcoming. Only thing to note that it’s not greatly close to anything (walking distance) but taxis and shuttles are available to everywhere!!"

"This is really the best hotel on the main island. We stayed here for shark diving. It's hard to describe the accommodation on the main island. It was a pleasant surprise to stay here. The hotel is very private and very suitable for bringing children. There is a babysitting service, a beach, and you can watch the sunrise. And you won't feel that there are too many people. Service: Good. I will introduce it to you after checking in. Restaurant: The taste is very good. The price of dinner is a bit high. We spent 310FJD for two people. I didn't order wine because of allergies. Activities: The hotel has a lot of activities, including yoga, paddle boarding, coral planting, etc. The Fiji Night at night is also very special. Spa: I had a spa, but the spa is not on the beach, which is a small disadvantage."

"I had a disappointing experience relating to service. My room had no wifi upon check in. I made the staff aware of this straight away, yet nothing was done until mid-morning the next day after I insisted it be resolved. All up I had to visit reception 2 times and call reception 5 times before they finally sent someone for a rather quick fix. When I called reception (outside of check in/out hours) often there was no answer. Furthermore, I paid for an oceanview room with 2 single beds, at check in I confirmed this was what I booked and requested that the room was not overlooking the pool. All these requests were ignored, and I was given a pool room with 1 bed, with no explanation for why. While the staff are friendly (most hospitality staff across Fiji are), for a ”5” Star resort I found the service very lacking."

"We recently stayed at the ”Sheraton Fiji Golf Resort and had an excellent experience with one of your security staff members, Mr. Villiame Matabuakovo. We're sending this message to express our gratitude. We are tourists from Japan and stayed at your resort. I left my cellphone in a taxi and, upon consulting your staff, Mr. Villiame kindly assisted me, went out of his way to help, and even contacted the taxi driver to retrieve my phone, successfully resolving the issue. His problem-solving skills and friendly demeanor were truly remarkable, and we would like to extend our gratitude to Mr. Villiame and his manager. Thank you very much for your assistance."

"Good location, very clean, lovely staff. Reasonable breakfast. Close to airport Pool is more a pool to dip into, not swim. It's very small. The beach is not good for swimming. Hideous how muchplastic and rubbish is on the beach. We picked up tons of rubbish every walk. There are plentyy bins around - nailed to palm trees, so it is pure laziness. This isn't the hotel's fault of course, but the area would be far more attractive if there was an effort by people to bin their rubbish."

"Traveling with family (2 adults + 3 kids) from USA. We had a great time there. Kids absolutely the pools/beach/soccer field/the grill/pizza restaurant by the pool. Very quiet, peaceful and beautiful. We have been to Tahiti before and found this Marriott Momi Bay is even more relaxing, romantic, and picturesque than Tahiti. But there are also some pros: 1) the location is in the middle of nowhere (though no so far from Nadi). So once you are there, you will be pretty much stuck there; 2) food at the main restaurant is just average. They have an Asian food section for breakfast/dinner buffet, but quite a joke (to our standards, as Chinese Americans). The fish bar is awesome but requires a bit of walking/buggy ride; 3) snorkeling wise, the fish is not as colorful as in Tahiti, but is still very good; and 4) the layout of our room (2 beds by the pond) is not so much different from an upscale city business hotel. Overall, if you are just looking for a relaxing time in a resort, this would absolutely be great place. But if you are looking for a new cultural/food/city adventure, this would not be the right place."
