The Fiji Orchid

This is an absolutely beautiful boutique accommodation option. From the moment of entering onto the property, we were enveloped in a sense of calm and tranquility. The six stand-alone units are all separated from one another by tropical trees, bushes, and flowers, allowing ample privacy, and the grounds themselves are wonderful for strolling around. This is one of the nicer accommodation options we have ever stayed in, and it was all complemented by wonderful and very obliging staff, a great pool, and a fantastic open-air restaurant overlooking an orchid garden. We enjoyed 3 excellent breakfasts here - each one very tasty and filling. The location of the accommodation is approx 15min north of the airport, and is accessed by the main Queens Road. What is great about this, is that it renders it halfway between Nadi and Lautoka - both of which are worthy of a days exploration. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Fiji Orchid to anyone looking for quality accommodation, set in wonderful gardens, with the most divine staff.

Amazing customer service, very clean and lovely food. Intimate setting. Perfect for couples or people looking to getaway and be pampered. Great day trip options and everything taken care of by the staff. Amazing nature aesthetic being in the middle of a forest

Location was slightly further away from Nadi town, not that we minded but for those interested in going to Nadi itself it’s slightly out of the way.

The staff go out of their way to make the stay as comfortable as possible for you. We stayed for 7 nights and the relaxed tranquil stay in the hotel was exactly what we needed for our honeymoon. Ledge, Deepika, and all the other staff members go the extra mile to make you feel as welcome as possible. The beds are comfortable, the stay is clean and tucked away in its own rainforest like canopy keeps you feel at peace with nature. There is daily servicing of the bulas with an additional 'turn down' service in the evening whilst you have dinner, ensuring that the room is pristine, ready for your evening. Kesho, the driver, gives reasonable prices to move you around to various places such as the port. Ali also, another driver, goes out of his way to ensure that your holiday goes as smoothly as possible. Nearby are the Garden of the giants, mud pool and Hindu temple. Want to do anything off the beaten track? - Ask your hotel who will make it happen. A short drive away is a wonderful hike (please remember to bring decent shoes!) and Port Denerau is close by also where there are lots of restaurants. Facilities on the lodge are great, they're a tranquil swimming pool which is a great place to just relax the day away. We didn't use the spa services but I don't doubt that they would be great.

The location of the hotel is just a bit too far away to pop over for dinner. $60 each way to Port Deanerau adds up and add that to dinner and soon over $300 is spent just for dinner. It adds up over the days and as there aren't many good restaurants near by, you end up eating at the hotel. Which isn't to say it's bad but that it can be a bit samey with the food. The menu for dinner isn't that varied and can quickly get quite bland. Basic eggs and toast is provided as part of your stay for breakfast but if you wanted to make it just a tiny bit better then it costs extra? It seems a bit weird that fried eggs, bacon and toast is free but make an omelette with bacon in it with bread on the side and suddenly that's $15? Seems a bit daft. Overall very minor critiques of the hotel itself.

This resort is very small and very quiet which was perfect for my group, my husband, daughter and her bf. The pool area is beautiful and the bures are spacious and very comfortable.

The only reason I gave it 8 was because the quality of the food and variety of food at the restaurant wasn’t great. The lunch menu was the same every day apart from one and the dinners were disappointing and expensive. Without a car, it was not possible to stock up on supplies so if you stay here, purchase drinks and snacks before your stay. It is a 30/40 minute taxi ride to Denarau island from where the boat trips go at a cost of $29 Fiji dollars per person return.

This little hidden gem is an absolute must on your travels to Fiji. Close enough to Nadi and the airport, it feels like a world apart from the rest of the hotels on offer nearby. I know this, because I missed my ferry to the Yasawas and spent a whole day and night on Denarau island. Do not bother with these if you want to experience the real Fiji. Fiji Orchid is set in beautiful gardens where the singsong of the birds awakes you every morning, flowers and plants surround the Bure in such a way that you think you’re there by yourself. The staff add to this feeling by treating you as if you’re the only visitor and it all just feels enormously pleasant. I chose this place as my oasis to adjust on arrival to Fiji and again to prepare for my onwards travels at the end of my time here and I highly recommend it. Food is gorgeous, the pool is a delight, everything is clean and the bures are very spacious. The staff will go out of their way to accommodate any requests (and I had some unusual ones!) they’re happy to help as best as they can. Vinaka Vakalevu Team Fiji Orchid!

This is an absolutely beautiful oasis with amazing staff and good food. Set in a tropical secluded space of the beaten track, with beautiful a pool and tropical garden dining and overall setting, small and personal with only 6 bures.

The location is not convenient, as we hadn't researched to much about fiji we didn't realize this would be so far away from main centers, essentially port denaru where we were going on day trips. 40mins each way. The other was transport, the location is not covered in the pick-up drop of for trips which made it expensive ontop of the actual accommodation cost and very expensive meals (great food!) But very expensive.

As other guests have stated, it is remote, so you must either have a vehicle or rely on their driver (who was most obliging). Kelso picked us up at the airport with a smile even though it was an early flight. We were greeted upon arrival with more smiles and a cool drink. They allowed us to check in early since the bure was available, which we greatly appreciated. The facilities are lovely and quiet. All of the staff were very polite and courteous. We were able to arrange an afternoon sightseeing tour with Kelso, the driver, and also another day trip for snorkeling. The food was delicious. You could either eat in the dining room or your room.

The only drawback is that it is not in a location where you can walk about and see other things.

Meals at Fiji orchid were very good. The staff were very friendly and accommodating during our stay. The Bure was nice and private. The bird song was amazing in the morning.

We had to change our return journey. We had the reception at Mana call the Fiji orchid and advised them of our changed times for our driver. This was not communicated to the driver and we received a call to find out if we had missed our boat. Despite being in a remote location, there is some passing vehicle noise as cars head to the beach (often at late hours of the night). There was a major sporting event during our stay and the TV, which is close to the dining room, was very loud. This didn’t enhance the ambience over breakfast.

The bure - stunning, spacious. Great bathroom layout, plenty of storage space. Loved the lighting. Beautiful walk to the restaurant. Swimming pool. Friendly staff. Very responsive, good communication, good free shuttle service. It’s a boutique hotel so it makes your experience even more special as there are not many guests. Be prepared for lots of mosquitos and some noise from the road near by.

Unavoidable mozzies due to the beautiful lush forest around.

The customer service is excellent, we were on our babymoon and everyone there made us feel so special. Rooms are clean and food is amazing. We ordered out of the menu because we are vegetarians and it was above our expectations.

The toilet doesn’t have an exhaust fan, and bathroom has glass door which basically means everything is visible from outside.
