Fiji Hideaway Resort & Spa

Worth knowing

Bure’s need an upgrade, but were functional. Property appeared unkept in places with trash and debris frequently found on the grounds. Without a car you are limited to only one restaurant in the hotel for all meals which was good some days , but lacking others. Pool needs deep cleaning and resurfacing.

The menu

Worth knowing

After travelling for 12 hours with a toddler, we arrived late on Saturday night to find there was no running water in our bure. Water was restored the following day, but it was only cold. We weren’t able to have a hot shower until Thursday(six days into our stay). The beachfront was understandably closed for two days due to wild weather, but unfortunately the pool wasn’t a suitable alternative. It was green, cloudy, and so dirty that you couldn’t even see the lane markings on the bottom. The food was also a major disappointment. Despite breakfast being included with our stay, we ended up paying to eat breakfast at a neighbouring resort most mornings because the quality simply wasn’t what we expected.

Worth knowing

Better Culture shows like other resorts would be amazing. Upon arrival the toliets at reception were horrible.

Worth knowing

After settling in , we discovered the toilet to be leaking water, the water following a path from the bathroom via the grouted sections of the tiles out the door under the door separating the ajoining cabin from ours and out the front doorway of our room , this had obviously gone unreported for a very long time as the door between our room and the ajoing cabin was warped and swollen the timber beginning to rot from long term exposure to the water making it not possible to latch the door securely . Any one in the next cabin would only need to apply a small amount of pressure to enter your room. The shower had limited pressure and no hot water , we requested a cabin change this was not possible until our 3rd day due to other cabins being fully booked so 2 days with leaking toilet slippery floors and cold showers. THE BEACH Looks good when the tide is full but very rocky below the surface do not enter without reef shoes. Then the tide goes out water goes out to a kilometer or more to the reef edge so dangerous to swim also exposing a not very attractive coastline covered in rocks and coral . Day 3 we change cabins A little smaller than the first but no toilet leak not bad similar set up to the first , but then the shower no hot water again , slightly warm atleast if you only use hot tap , but not hot in the slightest , and now the room has telephone too for easy contack when you need something. The breakfast was a buffet not great but edible but never changing day in day out same options so by day 4 we just did not bother to attend opting to use our hire car to find better options. The evening meal was very set few options , pizza always available or 2 other main menue options with a soup entree and 2 or 3 desert choices and a kids menu nuggets or basic burgers or fish n chips. So 1 night dinning was enough choosing to use a hire car to find other options . The location is very isolated close options for food were other resorts or a long drive to a town.
