"My visit to Shagri-La in June 2025 was my first visit to Fiji & my first resort experience. And it was a delight. As I am sure is the same at every Fiji resort, the staff were lovely, friendly, helpful & hard working. The facilities were great - not state of the art & brand spanking new - but as advertised and equivalent to the rates paid. Highly recommend to stay at adults only end to anyone travelling w/o children given the access to the quiet pool, the reef, & away from the noise & family chaos. Yes, it is a bit more of a walk (or buggy ride) to the restaurants etc but is worth it! Having said that, the rooms were quiet & you couldn’t hear your neighbours unless out on the balcony or if someone walked noisily past your door. The breakfast buffet was fabulous but if you are desperate for a ‘proper’ coffee, not the filtered variety, you will need to show a level of patience. This is not a Melbourne barista cafe but rather operates on Fiji time. Having said that, you are here to relax & enjoy, so what’s the rush?! It didn’t bother me that I was pretty much finished breakfast by the time my coffee arrived each morning, but I could see others were annoyed. Can highly recommend the Indian restaurant, and BBG was also fab & those two had the best service. The Asian restaurant you do need to book early. What’s not well known is that the reef is just out your door. Put on a snorkel & put your head underwater & be amazed by the sea life where the water is knee deep"

"Very friendly staff and property was new"

"My partner and I stayed at the Royal Davui resort for six nights. Upon arrival we were welcomed in song by the staff. After a refreshing welcome drink we were escorted to our villa (one of only 16 on the entire island). Breathtaking doesn't adequately describe our private accommodations which included a living room, which opened onto a large deck overlooking the cerulean blue South Pacific. The deck also included a refreshing plunge pool and chase loungers. The bedroom also overlooked the ocean, as did the soaking tub in the bathroom. Dining included fresh food prepared daily (including daily fresh caught fish) as well as thirst quenching juices, cocktails and a selection of fine wines. We took advantage of one of the two gazebos for private dining one evening. Excursions were memorable including a boat ride to a neighboring island to tour the community and watch a presentation by the local school children. We also enjoyed a sunset cruise with appetizers, champagne and serenade. We will long remember the tour to the private island (a sliver of sugary white sand) for a picnic which included umbrella, chairs, drinks and lunch. All of this added to the experience, but not as much as the beautiful, smiling, friendly staff of the Royal Duvai including Iva, Paula, Matthew and David. If you are a senior looking for peace, relaxation or even a little adventure, I would HIGHLY recommend the Royal Duvai Resort. "
