The hotel kept changing me to a different room, that was annoying, the hotel was old fashioned, no functional TV, dusty, gave me allergies, location was good and staff was nice. I would only go back if there is nothing better only. The pool is not great.

Very glitzy, and majority of staff where great. How ever the breakfast options were the worst I have experienced in my 20 plus years of travelling and living in Fiji. In addition, we have paid for one room twice, and they refuse to refund so have stolen a considerable amount of our money.

The hotel is nice & clean
It’s value for money.
The problem I experienced was the chef was cooking egg omelette and the sausages on same hot plate I’m a Muslim customer. They should consider this
