Smugglers Cove Beach Resort & Hotel

I booked 3 rooms here because our group of 6 had a day to spend near Nadi before a 10 pm flight home. It was the best best choice i could have made. Definitely a 3 star hotel but the location was perfect - right on the beach but also very near Nadi. My family of 6 was able to find space to do what they wanted. Staff were helpful. The rooms were basic but clean. The pool was out of commission but luckily this hotel is owned by the Ramada Inn next door - complete with pool, children's pool and small playground. Club 56 on the 6th floor of the Ramada Inn is a gem. Great food and a spectacular view. We kept a family room for the last day which was perfect. Gave us access to the hotel and we could all clean up before a late flight Great location.

Nice that it has a restaurant and the most sweet girl works there! Good views over the ocean and okay rooms! Also very easy to make friends :)

Fine for a night before or after the islands. I was in a 14 bed girls dorm which was less than 1/3 full so full capacity could be abit intense. The dorm bathroom had 2 showers and toilets so not just a tiny bathroom which was good. No key but 24hr reception which the room was next to so east access. Nice staff Handy with the restaurant/ bar and local supermarket . No signs of bed bugs like mentioned in nearby accom

Wasn't sure what to expect as it had been 11 years since i had been to Wailoaloa beach. To get away from the resorts of Denarau and chill for a couple of days was amazing. Supermarket at the end of the street, everything you need including beer and wine and spirit if you want to pay, bar menu restaurants all the way along the "strip". Gorgeous dogs that belong to who knows. Water shoes would be a good addition to your packing as this is rural fiji and lots of "stuff along the beach walk" Smugglers cleans and rakes its beach each morning. It is a shallow bay so you will not have yellow sand a blue green water, however the water is an amazing temp if you decide to go in and if you venture out you will get past the turning sand at the water front. But hey its FIJI. FOH staff were great and nothing was a problem.

We stayed at two different places in Fiji. This was our favorite. Close to the airport. Airport shuttle arranged through Smugglers Cove helped because we had never been to Fiji before to know how ground transport worked. We had some time before our room was ready and hotel staff helped us connect to a taxi drive to show us around for a few hours. We saw sights and had good conversation. Restaurant onsite was convenient. Great chairs on the beach. Fire dancing show on Sunday night when we were there. Walkable to a small grocery store and a few other restaurants. Room was small but adequate. If you don't use their shuttle, be sure to have some Fiji $. Cabs don't take credit cards.
