Nadi Downtown Hotel

We loved it all! Sadly only for 3 nights but we already plan to return. Our garden bure was spacious and beautiful, including an outdoor garden shower. The gardens and surrounds are very beautiful with the bures well spaced to allow plenty of privacy but also opening onto grassy common areas or beachfront where you could lounge on a deckchair. The rooms were serviced every day. You do a bit of walking to get around but it is not a problem, there are bikes to hire if you wanted them. Our meals at Dick’s Restaurant were excellent, super fresh and with plenty of choices and a great buffet breakfast with your choice of coffee to order. Book a table for evening meals and enjoy sunset views over the pool. The resort tour with Melrose was great, we learnt how the resort makes a lot of its furniture and repairs it, and makes the Malolo catamarans that get you there and back from the mainland. The Makare Spa is also beautiful and I had a fabulous massage and ylang ylang body scrub from Lucy. Other highlights were a hobie cat sail, watching the sunsets and meeting a few fellow guests. It’s very tidal so taking the snorkel tours out is recommended and you need to book. The reef tour was a bit disappointing; a lot of the coral was dead but we heard the sand snorkelling was better. Loved the yachtie vibe as well, it’s a refuelling and supply stop. Overall it was excellent value, really lovely staff and a beautiful setting. Paradise.

the pool is highly chlorinated but I guess it might need to be. I swam on a high tide instead.

Everything - we had a great room the staff were lovely and fun. The food was good enough

Nothing - the buffet could have been a bit more interesting but otherwise everything and the location were perfect

Central location

No hot water , intermittent water and wi fi

The location is convenient in proximity to the shopping centers, market and bus stand.

Low water pressure on the first day especially on the top floor. Facilities are quite old judging from the state of the single bed and bathroom tiles.
