Beach Hotels in Viti Levu Group, Fiji

The First Landing seems a bit out of touch and was surely one of the first hotels in the area. It now has a retro charm in many ways, but when I was there, there was a lot of painting and renovation work going on. The grounds are incredibly spacious and very quiet. The rooms are quite large, and there are big verandas in front of the bungalows, protected by mosquito nets, similar to those in Florida. However, the prices are a bit steep, and you have to shell out 10 Fijian dollars for a bottle of still water. Massages are also significantly cheaper in town, though perhaps not as idyllic in the spa pavilion. Otherwise, it's located outside of Nadi, and you really need a car. Next door (within walking distance) is the yacht harbor with a nice bar, where there's always something going on and locals and tourists mingle. For the days leading up to your connecting flight, it's definitely nicer and more relaxing than staying at Nadi Beach next to the runway.

We had a very pleasant stay at the DoubleTree by Hilton Fiji - Sonaisali Island. The biggest highlight of this hotel is definitely the staff — everyone was genuinely friendly, welcoming, and always trying to help with a smile. You can tell the team really cares about the guests, and that makes a huge difference. The hotel itself is quite remote and isolated, which can be either a positive or a negative depending on what you are looking for. There is no real private beach for swimming, so don’t expect a classic white-sand Fiji beach resort experience. However, the location is absolutely perfect for sunsets. The evening atmosphere is beautiful, calm, and very relaxing. The breakfast is not really at a 5-star level in terms of variety or quality, but it is still more than sufficient and you will definitely find enough options to start the day well. One thing that really feels outdated though: charging extra for Wi-Fi in the rooms in 2026 is honestly absurd. Hilton, seriously — what decade are we living in? Free room Wi-Fi should be standard at this level nowadays.

A very VERY strange experience here I must say.. I arrived at the 28 bed dorm room (even though trip.com said it was 10 bed) and there was no sign of any other life in the dorm at all. Most of the beds looked like they had been made months ago and nobody had slept in them since because they were covered in a layer of dust and dirt.. I went back to reception to ask what was going on and they said I’m the only one booked in so I just accepted it as it was. However, later on when I was sitting the bar a member of staff approached me and told me I had been upgraded (because supposedly the dorms weren’t clean due to a big group having checked out yesterday) so I ended up spending two nights in a luxurious Bure, the first night shared with someone else who was booked in for the dorms. The Bure was beautiful and spotless and I am very grateful for the upgrade. The outside shower was also very nice! The breakfast was excellent with lots to choose from! Eggs, sausages, beans, bread, cakes, yogurts, fruit, multiple cereals, tea, coffee and juice, one morning there were pancakes. The only downsides to this resort is they don’t have any activities or excursions of their own and they direct you to the hotel further along - I did snorkelling there which costs $75 - the whole thing felt rushed in my opinion and the trip wasn’t worth the money. We got barely any time in the water and there was no time to stop and observe anything, seemed like the guys on the boat just wanted to get it all over and done with as fast as possible.

All the staff members were absolutely amazing — their hospitality and service were top-notch! Illy's hospitality at JB’s bar and Pizza was amazing. You really don’t need to go outside the resort — everything you could want is right here! From delicious food and refreshing drinks to fun activities and a beautiful pool, it has it all. The resort has it's own Taxi which is reasonable and convenient. They provide currency exchange as well. Truly one of the best places to stay for a relaxing holiday infront of the beach. 🌴✨

I really enjoyed my stay here and would happily stay again. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the location was amazing, and the view was beautiful. The staff were also incredibly friendly and helpful, making the experience even better. The only minor issues were that one of the toilets was broken during my stay, and the locker assigned to me was also broken, which was a little inconvenient. Aside from that, I had a great experience and would definitely recommend this hostel.

This is not up to standard with a 5-star resort. Overall it’s a nice stay, but overpriced and don’t go expecting 5-star luxury. It unfortunately has not kept up with the maintenance it has needed over the years. Negatives - had aircon issues and slept without aircon, they moved us rooms to fix this - had a leak above our shower in both tooms - fridge was broken in both rooms - lack of pool towels for number of guests, tried getting a pool towel on multiple occasions to be told they were out. When we eventually got some they were stained. - lack of snorkle gear for guests, we unfortunately couldn’t snorkle because they were always out. We spoke to other guests who went and bought some because they couldn’t get any either - aircon in rooms is very loud - internet access drops out constantly - we couldn’t watch tv as the internet was down for netflix on the tv and we were told we could only watch it on phones or ipads - food menus in the room are dirty and falling apart Positives - most of the staff is really friendly - adults only pool is calm and quiet - good assortment of activities and things to do in the hotel - staff is mostly helpful when you need things We actually tried to refund the end of our stay so we could leave. I wouldn’t recommend it to people and just know if you do stay here it is more like a 3 to 4 star resort.

This seaside cottage was very comfortable. The bus stop right in front was very convenient. If you're relying on the bus, allow plenty of time. We couldn't get on an express bus as they were all full, and three passed us by. After a two-and-a-half-hour wait, we finally got on a local bus to Singatoka, and from there, we took an express bus to Nadi. It's a great spot; you can snorkel during high tide and enjoy exploring the tidal pools during low tide.

We had a wonderful 4-day stay at this lovely beachfront property. The location is fantastic—just steps away from a well-maintained beach, offering a peaceful and scenic atmosphere. The hospitality of the staff truly stood out; everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming, always greeting guests with warm smiles. I stayed in the Frangipani room, which featured a unique outdoor bathroom that added a charming touch to the overall experience. The bar and bartender deserve a special mention—the drinks were excellent, and the overall vibe was relaxed and enjoyable. The food served throughout my stay was also quite good, with a decent variety and great taste.

Great hotel with just about every facility you could ever want. Breakfast is vast… every choice possible. Waitui Beach Club worth every penny. Lovely Vietnamese restaurant for supper. Lagoon Pool for families is massive with loads of sunbeds. The beach bar is wonderful for light bites and also sunset. The staff are all first class. I can 100% recommend this hotel and it’s very near the airport and just walking distance to the port.

The InterContinental Golf Resort is quite a distance from the city center and the airport. However, if you're not planning to visit the outer islands in Fiji, the InterContinental is probably the best choice. The sea views are much better compared to city hotels, making it a great place for a relaxing vacation. The breakfast was the highlight of our stay – incredibly varied, and they were always quick to replenish everything, so there were always fresh options available. The environment was also beautiful and comfortable. The front desk and shuttle bus service provided the best experience. Lunch and dinner felt a bit less impressive compared to breakfast. On our last night, we got caught in a heavy downpour. The restaurant initially started to leak, and then we had to move to the middle section. We didn't even finish our meal and got wet. The drainage system seemed inadequate; the floor was quickly covered in water, and we had to brave the rain to get back to our room. We asked the restaurant to call a shuttle bus, but they said they were too busy and couldn't help, which resulted in us getting completely soaked. Our shoes were still wet the next day. I hope this can be improved. Overall, it was a good experience.
