Shangri-La's Fijian Resort & Spa

An idyllic private island that’s easy to reach from Nadi Airport, with warm and genuinely friendly staff. However, the food and beverage offering was consistently below standard across our nine-day stay, and the overall resort experience did not meet the level expected of the Shangri-La brand. Unfortunately, very disappointing.

Bula, My wife and I had the pleasure of vacationing in New Zealand and Australia this November 2025, after which we went to Fiji to relax. When we arrived at Shangri-La, Yanuca Island, Fiji, we had the most amazing greeting, wonderful room, amazing food, fantastic guests that we met and sat with and talked with every day at happy hour from 5 to 6 p.m. Overall rating: 5 stars. We also we were also able to eat at some of the restaurants, and certainly had breakfast every morning. We loved the food, and the service was amazing, very good. We also had the opportunity to have dinners there and breakfast every morning. The food, service, atmosphere, and ambiance was beyond my wildest imagination. Our trip was made even more special by the kindness of a woman named Ashwini Singh. She was able to make certain all of our requests were handled to 100%. Thank you so much, Ashwini. Without a doubt I would recommend staying at Shangri-La Yanuca Island in Fiji. Vanaka

We go every year for the Melbourne Cup horse race celebration on the first Tuesday of November. As usual we had a wonderful time in paradise. If you’re wanting to visit Fiji, PLEASE consider the beautiful Coral Coast , just one hour from the airport to the Shangrila where you will actually experience Fiji like you imagine in your mind’s eye, rather than the grey sand, brown water of Denerau/Waiololoa and Nadi. Yes, you’ll find 5 star hotels there, but to me it is just not Fiji like The Shangrila is.

Napoleon was a lovely man to say hello to our kids. They loved him. Great holiday place for kids with lots of activities..

So just returned from our 6th visit to the grand old lady of Fiji. Yes, there is work needed to be done around the hotel as there some issues, but they are working at it. It is still a lovely relaxing holiday made all the more special by the wonderful staff. Shout out to Semi in the Takali, Laoto our housekeeper and Napoleon on the front lobby as well as too many to mention. Everyone just goes out of their way to help you which makes the experience so much more special. My wife has a back problem so our room 525 was perfect located next to the Takali restaurant and pool made access easy. Will we back, of course we will. Just remember it is not a major city in Australia, it is Fiji. Just go with Fiji time, relax and enjoy the tranquillity of the resort.
