We stayed for a night after arriving in Nadi, in transit to an outer island. Free transportation from the airport was excellent, was actually surprised they were waiting for us as it wasn't requested. Staff were all very friendly. Restaurant offers a number of different dishes at reasonable prices for Fiji, quality was good. Breakfast was a complete waste of... More

Overall it was okay. Basic rooms. Amenities are okay could be better. One night stay was okay. Close to town and airport. Employees were friendly overall. Will consider giving it a chance again. One bar/ restaurant on site. Beach access. Lobby is well kept. Breakfast was okay.

This hotel is sorely in need of updating! They have a separate dorm wing for back-packers and that is who should just use the entire resort. Breakfast included is a JOKE! Over-ripe fruit that should have been thrown out, bread, stale cereal...but then there are better choices that you can PURCHASE for more than they are worth too. They are... More

If you're travelling to Fiji, you'll probably need a place to stay in Nadi before going elsewhere. We found Smuggler's Cove good for families. It's at the nice end of the backpacker spectrum - a backpacker/resort - away from the more developed Denerau but still on the beach. Free pick-up from airport is good, and it's just a 10-min taxi...

Stayed two nights before heading to an island. Should have realized the cheaper price, meant second-rate service. The family room was nice and big...but really nothing for kids to do. Staff were not the happiest bunch. We had one really nice waiter on the second night but otherwise we were largely ignored. The beach wasn't very nice. Will stay far... More
