InterContinental Fiji · Club
Six nights here over nine elsewhere.
A private plunge pool, a remembered welcome and the ease that made Club worth the premium.

Crowne Plaza Fiji Nadi Bay
Pool access is only part of the story.
A generous seafood bucket and pools with promise. Room 001 and repeated service issues told another story.

Sheraton Denarau Villas
A beautiful outlook. A villa that needed better care.
Life on the waterfront suited us. An unusable bedroom and poor upkeep were harder to forgive.

About us
An architect’s eye. A family’s experience.
We’re two architects from Auckland, travelling as a family. Holidays are our chance to step away from busy city life, slow down and feel looked after.
Our holiday brief is simple: a quiet spot with a lovely outlook, good food and thoughtful service, and plenty of swimming and play for our son. A calm, comfortable setting helps us all settle in and enjoy the time together.
We need at least two bedrooms, pleasant surroundings, and reliable Wi-Fi and a place to work if something urgent comes up. That’s the reference point for every review.
