Our sea view room was perfectly positioned to make the most of the iconic Fijian sunsets. The staff were lovely-very approachable and friendly and always willing to help. The daily continental breakfasts were good. Our room and bathroom were a little tired looking-a lick of paint and a bit of modernising would do wonders. Overall, we were happy. Thanks for the stay.
