Family Hotels & Resorts in Mamanuca Islands from AU$152

"The positives: Lovely hotel/resort with large pool and beach front location gardens that are extremely well maintained. The best asset this hotel has is the staff who are extremely friendly & for whom nothing is too much trouble. There's a kid's club & various adult activities that occur every day. The hop on hop off 'Bula bus' ($12/adult/day, although you can buy a multi day ticket as well) runs every few mins between the Sheraton & other resort hotels & Port Denarau in Denerau Is. If you want a local experience, catch the yellow West bus which does the same route for $1.40. Fiji Airlines has an office in the hotel so if you are flying out of Nadi you can check in your self & your bags at this office. The office is only open for a couple of hours twice a day so be sure to check when it's open if you want to use this service. The only negative: The buffet restaurant area is open to the outside & has netting around openings specifically to try & keep out Indian myna birds. These birds are present in plague proportions & are constantly flying around inside, pooping & picking up scraps of food from abandoned tables & even worse from the buffet itself. We were told that in a month or two the restaurant area would be modified & enclosed for 2 reasons, one so that the area could be air conditioned (desperately needed) & two, to keep birds out. In the meantime, buffet food should be under plastic domes so birds can't get to it. Management needs to fix this asap! "

"The resort was so beautiful and staff really did make the holiday. Was amazing."

"The best accommodations and the staff really made our trip. So welcoming that you felt like you were with family. "

"The resort is not 5 star in my opinion. Plain drinking water was not freely available throughout the resort (we had to ask for bottled water). Our room was clean but fixtures were tired, broken or worn out some powerpoints were loose on the wall * one bedside lamp switch worked but was taped up with electrocal tape * there was no globe in the light above the phone desk * there was no instructions for the phone and it only appeared to work on speaker * there was no bottle opener in the room * the wooden bed base creaked on the tile floor * the room fixtures looked tired, faded (paint on sheer curtains and curtains coming unhhooked) * hanging space for wet swimwear etc was non existent. Staff were mostly friendly attentive but some could do better. Restaurant food was ok, however, prices were expensive for what was offered. Bar staff only served from behind the bar. Wet weather seating in the bar area was scarce. Recorded music in the restaurant/bar was loud & annoying. Cabanas were hot & not inviting. Gardens & buildings were not very well maintained and drainage improved. (Slippery tiles)"

"Really the only feedback i have is that there should be a nightly activity. But seriously if thats all that i can offer thats not a big deal. Solo traveller, made me feel special and welcomed when wanted and left me alone when i wanted. Perfectly relaxing. Safety is their top priority and appreciate all the extra efforts in ensuring that for all guests. Massage was amazing and can day enough about the bar staff. Vinaka for a relaxing few days!"

"We were hit during a cyclone, staff went above and beyond to look After "

"We had a wonderful time & really enjoyed the effort made by the staff to ensure everything was to our liking. Tema, Tina, Ace, Sherry, Philly, Atu, & the whole team did a fabulous job. The food was exceptional & the kids club was next level. We wish the weather had been better but even with the rain, we still had a great time. Vinaka!! "

"Staff were very friendly, rooms and facilities are in need of an upgrade "

"This is a great location to experience Fiji for the first time. There are two beaches included in the resort that are walking distance to each other. The food was great with lots of choice and good quality. The cocktails at the pool bar and drinks were delicious made by Oscar and Seru. A fantastic benefit was free and unlimited use of the kayaks, snorkels and fins. The evening entertainment, in particular the singer and the choir were absolutely fantastic! The sunset bus trip to the western part of the island was a gorgeous way to start the evening/finish a day relaxing. A wonderful addition to the resort. "
