Independent, Southern Islands hotels

"I liked the daily activities and friendliness of the staff. The property has stunning views!"

"Great little hotel "

"The view from our room and the restaurant over Lami Bay is beautiful. Our Executive King room was quiet and had the best mattress we’ve slept on during our 2 week holiday in Fiji. Anyone who likes a supportive mattress will love staying at the Novotel. "

"Beautiful paradise which I will love to come back to again and again. "

"I stayed here with my girlfriend to celebrate my birthday. The hotel gave us a complimentary pass to the museum, A very friendly hotel "

"I recently had the pleasure of staying at Fiji Hideaway Resort & Spa, and it truly exceeded my expectations. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with the warmest smiles — not just from the amazing staff, but from fellow guests as well. The energy here is simply contagious; it’s impossible not to relax and enjoy yourself. The service throughout my stay was outstanding. The staff went above and beyond to make sure every detail was taken care of, always with genuine kindness and that famous Fijian hospitality. One of the highlights of my trip was snorkeling the reef just in front of the resort every morning. It’s incredibly convenient to have such beautiful, vibrant marine life right at your doorstep. I saw colorful fish, coral, and even the occasional sea turtle — the perfect way to start each day. Between the excellent service, the unforgettable snorkeling, and the constant positive energy from everyone around, my time at Fiji Hideaway was nothing short of amazing. Can’t wait to come back!"

"This was a fabulous family holiday with 4 generations. Couldn’t have been better. "

"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"
