Shangri-La's Fijian Resort & Spa

Shangri-la Fiji is situated on the Coral coast, it has a white sandy beach magnificent coral to snorkel, the diving is exceptional. Accommodation caters for all. Our accommodation was spotless. The food is amazing, a variety of restaurants. The staff are wonderful, happy and helpful, always smiling, Mary in the Golden Cowrie, Poni at the Reef, Marley in charge of activities, its like coming home from the moment you check in, the pools and surrounds are immaculate. A value for money holiday. The Shangri-la has soul, we couldn’t recommend it highly enough. Can’t wait to go back.

Gorgeous property, beautiful rooms, very friendly staff - our first visit to Fiji was a hit because of the Shanghai-La Yanuca Island!

We had a fantastic time at the resort ! So much fun - lots of fun at the pool and kids club. Napoleon, james , Marley were all wonderful!! The service was fantastic- the ladies at the bar a restaurant were amazing !

This is NOT 5-star and NOT a Fiji experience. The staff are unhappy, no sense of laughter or play in them, it makes the place feel tense and miserable. We will be going back to a previous 4 star experience as the place was happy, welcoming and the food there was amazing compared to Shangri-la. The food was terrible and the service was lazy and terrible what a miserable waste of money in a dated facility. Room service dishes left outside rooms for more than a few hours where birds pick apart the left overs and cockroaches in the rooms.

We stayed at the Shangri-La for a week at the end of December to celebrate our wedding and it was absolutely magical. We stayed in the Reef Wing, which was gorgeous, definitely the worth paying the extra to stay there if you’re travelling without kids! We loved the Reef pool and happy hour drinks and nibbles. Big shout out to the cleaner who was in charge of looking after our room (484) - I think she was called Rosi - she was so lovely! Breakfast in the Golden Cowie was incredible - amazing food every morning! We ate in all of the restaurants whilst we were there (and yes, Fiji time is a thing so just learn to relax and embrace it otherwise you’ll just get yourself worked up!!) but the food was delicious in every single restaurant. We also went scuba diving whilst we were there and the staff at the Dive Centre were great. Part of our wedding package included a private meal for 2 on the Takali Cabana which was so romantic - we had the meat menu option and there was SO much food!! Also included was a night at the Chi Spa which was incredible - lovely treatments, a beautiful room and room service for dinner and breakfast. We had family and friends staying at the resort too, all in different rooms,areas, with kids, without kids and for varying lengths of stay and everyone had their own positive experiences too. We didn’t want to leave! However, the main reason we chose to stay at the Shangri-La was because we chose the Seaside Chapel as our wedding venue and we can safely say it was the best decision we ever made. The decor of the Chapel and Reception was beautifully done, the food was outstanding (we chose to upgrade to a Fijian Lovo buffet and everyone couldn’t stop raving about how good it was!), they kept us well topped up with drinks throughout the night, the lady minister was lovely, the choir and serenaders incredible (big love to one of the guitarists from Vanulevu who we then would see playing at the Reef Wing and who then came to play Isa Lei for us on our final morning at breakfast), the staff that worked our wedding couldn’t have been nicer and more helpful too. Our whole day was perfect from start to finish and a big part of that is thanks to the whole team at the Shangri-La but there’s one person I need to give a very special mention to and that’s our wedding planner Lavenia. I don’t have words to describe how incredible she is. Planning a wedding in Fiji when you’re in the UK (and when you’ve never actually even been to the resort before!) could have been a stressful and challenging process but I can honestly say it was a dream and that’s thanks to Lavenia. She went above and beyond for me in the lead up to our wedding and her calm and quiet attitude to our wedding meant I never felt panicked or nervous, even on the morning of our wedding! She’s an absolutely wonderful person and to any brides that get married here in the future - you’re in safe hands with Lavenia 💕. My husband and I are already talking about coming back to stay next time we’re in Fiji so that we can relive the whole magic of our week at the Shangri-La and our wedding.
