The Fiji Orchid

The highlight of my visit to Fiji is my stay at The Fiji Orchid. The small size and amazing staff made it a perfect place for me to wind down after an active holiday. The staff is very attentive and made the experience at this well maintained and beautiful property that much better. The kitchen staff made very tasty and varied Fijian food made with locally sourced ingredients. Thank you to the whole team for this authentic experience!

My wife and I stayed four nights and loved it. The gardens are just magnificent and really well curated. Unfortunately, the orchids that give the resort its name were "resting" when we were there; apparently the peak flowering time is August. We ate at the hotel every night and that was a big part of the experience. The nightly offering at Raymond's is worth staying in for as the menu changes every night and the talented chef makes excellent use of locally sourced ingredients including the freshest fish we've had in a while. The prices (entrees 28-30 FJD and mains 48-50 FJD) are higher than the usual Lautoka pizza and burger options (which you'd have to arrange transport to get to) but are very reasonable once converted to AUD/NZD and VFM. The hotel provides an inclusive shuttle to and from the airport and excursions or simple trips into Lautoka can be arranged at a nominal fee. The bure contained everything we wanted and was restocked with bottled water every day. And we couldn't speak more highly of the staff, who go above and beyond to ensure you feel welcome.

We stayed 2 nights as a pause in flights from Toronto to Sydney. Upon arrival we were immediately welcomed as part of the Fiji Orchid Family. The grounds, pool, and Bures are incredibly maintained. Such wonderful lush vegetation and fragrant. A joy to walk around. The food is top notch, and the coffee is strong! What sets this place apart is the staff. They genuinely love to get to know you and make sure you are enjoying yourself. The hotel offers airport pickup and drop off service as well as arranging any excursions you may be interested in.

Cruise agent booked this hotel for us and so happy he did as we thoroughly enjoyed being here for 3 nights after our Pacific cruise. Our room was one of the 5/6 individual little glass and wooden lodges. I must admit it was clean enough but not everything was perfect but good enough to be comfortable and enjoy. The dining room was lovely looking out into the garden and the food was good. You had to let them know what you would like to eat from the small daily menu. Food was good as was the breakfast. Pool was small and lovely too with the cascading water fall. Staff were very helpful and friendly. I would definitely recommend here and would come back. This used to be the actor Raymond Burrs (Perry Mason) house where he had an interest in gardens and flowers and wildlife.

We were very well looked after at Fiji Orchid. Lovely staff. Very personal service. Our room was kept spotless for our stay. Enjoyed swimming in the pool every afternoon.

What a lovely place and really lovely team. No idea how they all remember every customer's names, but they do, and really care about you enjoying your stay. The food in the restaurant is delicious, cooked by a great team of trainee chefs. You can eat at the restaurant even if you aren't staying and we'd definitely recommend. We stayed for a couple of days, before heading elsewhere in Fiji, and it was a great place to start our Fiji adventure. The team arranged a lovely morning tour to the Hindu temple, town market, Sleeping Giant Garden, and the mud baths, which was great fun. Definitely a lovely place to be on a Fiji visit. You feel like you are getting a proper Fiji experience, rather than just another corporate hotel. There are only 6 rooms, each self contained with a large bed, seating area, and ensuite bathroom. There's a lovely pool, lounge and dining area. Definitely worth a stay, or book in for dinner.

We stayed at this boutique unique place one night on the way to Tonga and one night returning from Tonga. Both times the experience was wonderful. It started with a complimentary airport pick up and then drop off to our next destination on the way back. We arrived very early jet lagged after an overnight flight and were offered a day room until our rooms were ready after lunch. We very much appreciated the hospitality and personal approach. We went for a swim in a pool, took a nap, had a tasty lunch and checked into our bungalows. The surroundings were lush in a jungle setting, our bungalows were spacious with AC and all modern amenities . The Orchid arranged for a van to take us into town for a festival in the evening. Again, very convenient and accommodating. During our second stay, we took a ride to botanical gardens. It was a nice way to spend a few hours. Again, the Orchid accommodated us with a late check out for our evening flight home. When in Nadi, there is no other place I would stay but The Orchid. It offers privacy, relaxed atmosphere, impeccable service, hospitality. Thank you to all that made our stay special.

The Fiji Orchid is a lovely relaxed hotel with 6 villas tucked amongst lush greens. The staff are incredibly warm and helpful. There is no useable beach nearby and you need a vehicle to go anywhere off the property but it’s near 2 towns and several attractions. There is always someone available to drive you. It’s very convenient to the airport so it’s a good choice for a few nights on the big island.
