Shangri-La's Fijian Resort & Spa

I really enjoyed the second half of the Sacred Flame Show, particularly the fire performance. However, I was disappointed with the first half. I had expected a genuine Fijian cultural experience, and for me that means experiencing the beautiful live singing and exceptional drumming that Fijian Islanders are renowned for. Instead, the dancers were performing to recorded music, which made the first half feel much more like a choreographed resort entertainment show than an authentic cultural experience. I appreciate that the dancing itself was very good, but having live Fijian singers and drummers accompanying the performers would have made the experience considerably more special and, in my view, much more deserving of being described as a Fijian cultural experience.

We had a great time at the Shangrala resort. Very focused on families with many food and accommodation options. Definitely recommend this place.

Was a lovely resort. Most things were dealt with when asked like a smart TV as we had an old very small TV that you could not stream on and TV channels were few and mostly in other languages, so restricted in English viewing. The rooms very clean and the staff were lovely. As was the choices in restaurants but expensive . I suggest you eat in other restaurants outside the resort. If you have children then eating there with them had no cost in most venues..not all. The main problem as during our stay 18th to 26th August it was cold and out of 8 nights only 3 days of sun but with strong winds ,,,the showers were just tepid. We were lucky to have 3 hotter showers the whole time we were there. Timing wise it did not matter it was hit and miss. I complained to services twice but no one came to follow up. I was not impressed as we both had colds/ flu and all I wanted was a hot shower.

Just finished 5 nights in The Reef wing and couldn’t find fault. Rooms are clean and have all you need. Super comfy beds and really enjoyed having a bath. We hit a few days of crappy weather but the staff stayed cheerful and always had a smile to brighten us up. The food is plenty adequate. I am not sure what others complain about as all our food was tasty and well presented. A good selection of restaurants to eat at. The included cocktails and canapés every day at The Reef is awesome! Definitely will return one day.

Excellent family getaway. Perfect for families travel with small children, very easy to get around with a pram. Kids food options were very good. Lots of plain foods for the fussy kids and most food came in bento box style (nothing touching each other) Beach and pools were excellent for swimming and snorkeling.
