Quiet and unpretentious resort, the kids loved the two pools and were often the only ones in there. Rooms were large, clean, and quiet - we had interconnecting rooms (travelling with 4 kids age 4months - 7years) and loads of space. Each room had its own bathroom, aircon and a fan provided as well. Beds are comfortable, rooms are very clean. No fancy trimming but to a decent standard and didn't feel dated. Our rooms had a little courtyard outside and a middle lawn for the kids to run around and hunt frogs and geckos. Staff are friendly and accomodating. Grounds were nice with a fish pond just by the restaurant. The outer grounds feel a little unfinished but doesnt really matter. There is a small playground with monkey bars and a slide - enough to entertain children! Breakfast doesn't open until 8am which was a bit inconvenient with kids so we brought our own. We had dinner here once - was quite expensive and the food was fine but not amazing. There is a cultural and fire show on three times a week which was entertaining. Location was ok. There is not much in the immediate area. We had our own car which we would highly recommend and parking was plentiful. The closest beaches for snorkelling are Natadola and the sunset strip, both about 15-20min drive. There is a little village (Cuvu) nearby (probably 30-40min walk but we drove) with a small supermarket and a couple of restaurants (busy bees and flying fin). Across the road from the resort is a great restaurant - The Junction - with excellently priced and delicious food! The Shangri La is also across the road - we didnt attempt to go but it might be possible to get day passes if you wanted. Sigatoka is approx 10min drive and is a great little town for a local experience with a municipal market on daily for fruits/veges and handicrafts. The kids got their hair braided in town for less than half of the standard resort prices!

Location is fine with your own car but would be not ideal without transport. There is no nearby snorkelling beach but there are loads of places to explore within a 20-30min drive - sunset strip, sigatoka sand dunes, Sigatoka town itself, Natadola beach, and local villages. Breakfast started a bit late for us with small children. Restaurant was pricey and average food for dinner. Don't expect a fancy resort with white sand beaches and lagoon style pools but this is good value for money, unpretentious and suited our travelling style well!

It's a place that I have been to several times before with my family. Good place to stay with friendly staff and close to local shops and food outlets. It is located only 40 minutes from Nadi airport.

The thing that I didn't like was that it cost $15 to do a load of washing at the property. It should've been offered as part of the service. Apart from the washing price, Gecko's is a home away from home when on holiday.

Really friendly staff, great meals, nice quiet family feel to the place. The groundskeepers and cleaning staff are always working hard to keep everything neat and there is always a staff member on hand to answer any question or help out with anything. Pool was very clean and the perfect temperature. For stormy days there is a great selection of DVDs to watch; and the children liked playing pool or watching TV in the TV room.

Not a big deal to me, but if I had to pick anything, the pillows were uncomfortable and whatever they cleaned the room with smelt like urine cakes. Pillow problem was easily solved by asking for another and the smell was clearly a cleaning product so I looked past it.

best thing about the property is the staff managing the place. i interacted with almost everyone on site and they are always happy to talk or offer best of their assistance. the property has good spread out with two mini pools. well maintained and clean fauna. restaurant is onsite along with a cafe. food is good quality although has a few vegetarian options.

the menu could benefit from more vegetarian mains varieties. also location wise not many eateries nearby, but being on Queen’s road, its easy to arrange transport so manageable.

It is pretty here. With the palm trees, gardens, 2 pools, bure. Is quiet and away from the road. Also is a massage spa here. Great restaurant. Yummy food. Cultural nights 3 nights a week. Staff are amazing. Know u by name which is cool. They make your stay here. Helpful and friendly. They all need a pay rise :) One of the best places stayed in cos of the staff. Rooms spacious and clean. Serviced every day. Close to Sigatoka. Lots of buses and cars that pick u up etc. The Fiji way. 1 hour from Nadi. There are 2 other restaurants close by - a 5 min walk across the road. I ended up staying an extra 3 nights as the other place fell thru.

Staff was amazing. Great food.

Breakfast was delicious. My grandma and I loved the pancakes with fresh fruit and cream. We loved the staff, they go above and beyond every time we stay at Geckos. Fire spinning and dancing was so good to watch Tuesday and Friday night. I celebrated my 23rd birthday and the resort went above and beyond for me!

The day spa. We had a massage there which was brilliant however I asked for a facial and their products are out of date so they couldn’t do one. Need new products and that would fix the problem.

Our stay was wonderful, rooms were great and the kids loved the pool. I left my cellphone on an outside table when I checked out and hopped on the bus to the airport. The receptionist was incredible, she looked around until she found it and then (without me even asking!) contacted a taxi and arranged for him to bring it to me at the airport. So wonderful! This place is very lucky to have hired such great staff. Overall, I highly recommend it!

Location was very convenient for day trips but not walking distance to any beaches.

I came for a wedding at the Shangri La and travelled alone. Gecko resort is perfectly located a short walk to the hotel. They were incredibly welcoming of a female solo traveller and nothing was too much trouble from letting me my room early to letting me keep the room til late for my evening return flight. Clean comfortable rooms - best nights sleep. Evening entertainment and excellent food, drink and cocktails. A little gem if you are touring Fiji make sure you add it to your list.

Nothing

If you want to experience the warmth and hospitality of the Fijian people, look no further. The resort is modest but the customer service is outstanding. We felt genuinely sad saying goodbye. Our room was comfortable but not fancy. Everything worked and that's what mattered. The restaurant served up a variety of food choices and each meal was delicious. The chef even cooked up fish we'd caught. We experienced the Fijian philosophy of "no hurry, no worry" and it slowed us down to really appreciate why we travel. Relationships matter the most. So if you want luxurious rooms and organised activities this is not the resort for you. But if you want to feel special and experience the spirit of Fiji go to Gecko's Resort.
