Recently stayed for two weeks The resort feels like it was built 20 years ago and nothing had been done since. It’s undeniably in a beautiful surrounding with a small village next door but definitely out of town. Great for a pool side only holiday but food could do with some variety Still enjoyed our time away felt very peaceful

Oh! We've invested loads into the property. I'm sorry to hear you feel that way. It's not for everyone being in a 100 acre property away from the hustle and bustle of busy life but yes, perfect for a unwind, pool side holiday. Glad you felt peaceful there!

Stunning and with Amazing Staff!
Very private and peaceful! Talica and the staff were so helpful and friendly. You could not have a more welcoming and hospitable staff at a resort like this. I loved how private and quiet the beach is and it is so beautiful! Yes the decking around the pool may need some work done but the pool is still great. The food was lovely as well. I booked in a massage by Mary at the nearby village. She has a little beach bure at the village for it and I felt so relaxed afterwards. Just a caution for those wanting to book here, if you're taking a vehicle, you may need a car/ute that doesn't ride so low. The road can be a bit rough.

could be better
On the plus side this is a great location and the place is very clean, plus food was good. The staff were friendly but could have been more attentive, and too much loud music spoiled the atmosphere ( this was more for the staff than the customers). The resort needs some maintenance, particularly the deck around the pool which is a safety risk it is so rotten. We wouldn’t bother going back.

This was the 3rd time that we had stayed at the Wellesley. It is the perfect place to just sit, relax and unwind and start our holiday off. It is a hidden paradise, with a tropical atmosphere. It is a bit out of the way from the hustle and bustle, but if you are just after some peace and quiet, this is the place to go. We last visited the Wellesley about 4 years ago and on our last visit it needed a lot of TLC and repairs and therefore we had decided not to return. When looking on the internet, we saw a lot of improvements had been made and some rooms even had their own plunge pools, so we decided to give it a go once again. We were not disappointed and learnt that it now has new management. The food was beautiful and the staff very helpful and friendly. Congratulations to all involved for improving this little piece of paradise in Fiji.

Absolutely loved it. A peaceful and tranquil adults only resort. Not too much to do unless you go on day trips which can be costly but a great experience. Walks along the beach watching the sunset and a swim in the pool is all you need. Meet with the locals from the village and for a sml fee they will teach you net fishing and take you snorkeling along the reef edge. Also if your lucky you will be invited for dinner in the village which was an amazing meal. Definitely take snacks and duty free alcohol as it is a little pricey. Staff are amazing and you feel like family from the moment you arrive. A definite must. The location is very isolated but that's why you go there.

Excellent Staff. Friendly, helpful, and very hard working. Made me feel at home. Amenities are somewhat lacking. There were 3 kayaks ( in poor shape ) with only 1 paddle, and sections of the beachfront porch were closed off as they were falling apart. The food in the restaurant is good, but menu is limited and somewhat pricey. There is a village next to the resort that offers various activities, massages, and well made Fijian handicrafts.

This resort is very quiet with only 16 rooms and not next to any other establishments. It’s a 2 hour drive from the airport - I suggest sticking near Port Denaurau to get the most of your holiday and if you like a bit more of a social scene. The resort does offer free airport pick-ups, but they were 45min late which made us nervous. The driver was very nice though and the car was comfortable. Rooms are large and comfortable with A/C and loved the outdoor shower. Wi-go doesn’t reach the rooms, but is good in the common areas. Food was amazing every single meal. Kayaks are a bit sketchy... pool is a bit dated. Recommend going on the hill walk through the village. Instead of paying $75 pp for return transport to airport, consider taking the express bus (nice charter bus) from the main road ($10 one way) - hotel will organize drop-off for you (3min drive)

Wellesley Resort is delightful - it is out of the way, private, quiet and beautiful. The rooms are comfortable and well set out. The staff were attentive and friendly. With a short walk to the beach where you can snorkel among the colourful tropical fish, it's just the place for having a much needed rest from the busy-ness of life.

We needed a quick sunny getaway which we booked last minute. We found a gem in Wellesley Resort. It was quiet, out of the way and very relaxing. The property needs a little attention, especially the decking around the pool and beachfront but overall it's a wonderful place to relax. The highlight of our stay was the staff at the resort. What a wonderful group of people. Very welcoming and friendly. Mere, the Manager made us feel at home from the start. Then we met the smiling faces of the lovely Mereani and Sekove (Scobie) the wonderful bar and restaurant staff, nothing was too much trouble for them. Naca and Raj cooked up a storm all week and produced lovely local and international dishes. Mili was the ever smiling housekeeper (helped by Scobie when he wasn't tending bar!) We can't forget Sabir, the always grinning and chatty grounds keeper. Then there was Ratu Sela, the Chief, who ended up being our driver on many an occasion and was a man of much wisdom and humour. It was a pleasure to meet you all, you make the Wellesley Resort a place of rest and relaxation. Vinaka vaka levu. Louise & Stu

This resort is really peaceful and quiet. beautiful scenery. It is the place to go if you want to relax and do nothing! The staff were nice but service very average. Reception was almost always unattended when we went to ask something. Often sat in the restaurant for 15/20 min before anyone walked in. You are given one complimentary bottle of water per day which is generous but there is not the option to buy more are the resort so bring plenty of your own or you will be constantly dehydrated. We wish we had known this. Overall this resort is not super flash but is definitely a good place to relax.

It would be a great place to say if you are after complete isolation and if the weather is good. Unfortunately we weren’t so lucky. It rained all day everyday pretty much and there were many weather related issues (power cut, muddy tap water, tv not working etc...). Not their fault though. Only one restaurant with limited choice and nowhere to buy another other food (except for the 1 nearby other resort’s 1 restaurant with lower quality food). Everything was really pricey and there was no activity to entertain us in that weather. All outside transport is very expensive. Wifi was really poor too. Some area not well maintained (nails in the open on the poolside). Staff is nice and welcoming but didn’t offer much compensation for all the issues. Would potentially recommend for 3 days tops of full tranquility.

Me and my partner recently spent 4 nights at the Wellesley Resort. we had such a great time that we decided to extend our stay with an extra night. The resort provided a complimentary pick up from Nadi Airport, pick up was on time and the driver was very helpful, allowing us to stop off on the way to us the ATM. The resort itself is located in a very quiet area, nestled amongst lush tropical rainforest and a beautiful beach right on your doorstep. The location is perfect but it is remote. The Wellesley offers plenty of activities including waterfall and mangrove walks, Kayaking, snorkelling and local village activities. We had such an amazing stay and was made to feel very welcome by all the staff. Food was also very good, the resort was happy to provide meals that were not on the menu also. The resort has one of the most stunning coral reefs just on front of it which is only accessible by boat. I have done over 3500 dives in locations all around the world and this area is amongst my most memorable. Saying this the Wellesley resort didn't offer local diving and I believe the resort would benefit from having its own Dive Centre. Thank you for a great stay!

Peace, quiet, relax, repeat!
If you want peace and quiet to just relax, lie on a beach, read a book, go swimming, kayaking or snorkelling - then this is the place for you. The activities are all at your own pace - no preorganised timetable with a million and one people making their presence felt. It is like having your own private beach house with the choice to engage as much or as little as you want in what the resort has to offer. Being an adults only resort during school holidays is also a HUGE bonus in making sure you relax at your own pace.

My Daughter had her wedding there, the staff we're so lovely and helpful, they were excited for the day, Talica the Manager, went well beyond her duty, in following up with documents, that was needed for a legal wedding in Fiji, as well as Australia (which is were we are from). The family stayed there a week and we all agree that we will be back, a couple of us have food allergies, and even though the menu seems small, the chefs are more than happy to add vegetables or mix and macth meals, as well as making them plain - if that is what you require. Talica and staff are very happy to help you if you need to book a transfer to an activity or just to go shopping. The resort itself is on the beautiful Coral coast, so snoring and Kayaking is a must while you are there, the fish and marine life are amazing and this activity is free from the resort . The rooms are amazing - we stayed in an Executive Room, the bed was very comfortable - and bonus, they give you clean beach towels each day. We will certainly go back, being a small resort, set in a valley in what they call the mountains, it is so calming and relaxing

Had a great three-day stay here. While the weather didn't cooperate (cyclone hit on our second day) we still enjoyed the services of the friendly staff and the comfort of our room. The room was huge with a seating area, soft bed, fridge, large sink area and bathroom. While some areas of the room showed their age and the effects of tropical weather it was very comfortable and relaxing. The meals we had at the restaurant were all fantastic and prices were very reasonable. There's a nice big pool with comfy loungers and another lounging area down at the beach. There's nowhere close to walk as far as shops and such so bring your own snacks if you want. Really loved this place.

Nothing to do
First—the good: the food was really good and the staff was kind and friendly. But the resort leaves a lot to be desired. The pool is a good size, but they only put the pads on the chairs one day out of the three we were there, so we had to sit on bare plastic frames. There is no beach. The high tide comes right up to property’s edge and when it is low tide, the sand has seaweed growing everywhere so there is no swimming at all. Plus—there were tin cans—rusty ones everywhere in the sand. We were afraid to walk out into the seaweed sand because we didn’t know what was in the seaweed that we couldn’t see. Property is out in the middle of nowhere, so if you want seclusion, this is your place. We were bored to tears. The activities they posted NEVER happened and the worst part of the whole experience was that the mosquitoes were FIERCE!!! I will never go back to this resort.

Thank you for taking the time to review the resort. We are very small and secluded and unfortunately do not offer the types of activities you would find in a big main stream resort. We are sorry to hear you were bored. The resort is best for guests that want a complete break from a busy life. It sounds like it was not the right resort for you. Unfortunately you were there during the cyclone season when the tides can get very high. It is a shame you could not enjoy the beautiful beach. Thank you for your comments. Kind regards, Corinne

False advertising - not an adults-only hotel
The hotel is advertised as adults only, no guests under age 16. This is a lie. We awoke to the shrieking of children at 7:30am our FIRST MORNING there, of our honeymoon, by the way. There was a family of SEVEN in the room next to us, three adults and FOUR kids all under age 10. The kids screamed and ran wild throughout the resort, jumping in the pool, splashing, yelling, shrieking on the beautiful private beach for two nights and three days while their parents yapped on their cell phones. When I asked at reception why the hell there were kids in adult only hotel I was told, "oh yes, they checked in last night, we'll tell them to be quiet." Blatant false advertising and when I complained to Orbitz I was told flatly nothing would be done about it. We live in a neighborhood with kids on all sides and just wanted one week to be able to sleep in. Thanks for making us travel 18 hours and spending 6k to ruin our honeymoon, Orbitz and Wellesley Fiji.
