Nanuku Resort

We had the most amazing time at Nanuku Resort as a family (2 kids - 4 and 6 years old). The resort gives you the true Fijian experience whilst bursting with luxury everywhere at the same time. It is such a beautiful property - the landscaping is gorgeous. There are so many things to do and activities organised by the resort such as kayaking, paddle boarding, snorkeling, coconut tree basket making, or if you just want to relax, the pool and the beach are perfect for that (or your villa, which is super comfortable). For the kids, the nannies and the kids club are simply amazing, a true game changer for us. Kids went on a boat to the Nanuku farm to collect veggies, went fishing, crab hunting, frog hunting, snorkeling, etc and they loved both pools (including the hot pool, which was a dream). There is a coral reef directly in front of the hotel and larger coral reefs a short boat trip away. Shark diving can also be organised - apparently one of the best spots in the world is just a 15 min trip away. We were so welcomed by the whole staff - the nicest people you will ever meet. They truly made us feel at home and did not spare any effort to make our stay just perfect. Thank you to the whole Nanuku team for an amazing week. We will definitely be back. The 2 hour trip from the airport is totally worth it and goes quickly given the beautiful scenery along the way. We could not recommend the resort more.

Just awesome. Simply amazing. The staff are incredibly welcoming and friendly, nothing is too much trouble. The food is exceptional, the Australian chef working his magic especially with the fish dishes. The rooms are immaculate, the best bathroom I’ve ever seen and more towels than you can ever need! The communal pool area is beautiful and the water is warm, not as warm as the sea though! The gardens are maintained brilliantly and there’s cultural activities for those that wish to learn about Fijian life and history. We did yoga and there is a full daily list of activities including water sports, some are needing extra payment. This is a family friendly hotel, so maybe not for those allergic to children, although there is child care 0800-2000 from what we could see. Long transfer from Nadi airport (nearly 3 hours) but worth it.

What an amazing place to unwind and spent quality time with your family! And when you need a break from the kids, they have an amazing team who your kids will end up wanting to stay with the entire trip! Great professional service always with a friendly attitude and a smile!

This trip was worth my wife and 3.5 year old daughter. From the moment we arrived and received the welcome ceremony we felt like family, unlike we have ever felt before. We travel very frequently and have been all over the world so this is coming from a lot of experience, they are top notch in every possible way. My wife has celiac's and there was plenty of menu options and the staff was very knowledge and worked well with my wife. The food was delicious for every meal. The rooms were among the nicest we have ever had, clean and very large. Bed was comfortable and the fridge was well stocked everyday. My daughter didn't get to spend a much time in the kids club as other kids, she still gets separation anxiety when away from mom. But the kids club staff, Nia was my daughters buddy was outstanding for the time my daughter did spend there. From what I saw from other older kids they spent all day with their buddy and the staff appeared to be doing a great job with activities all day. Even crab and frog catching at night which my daughter loved. I highly recommend this place for families. When it came time to leave i was emotional during the farewell ceremony. This is only 1 of 2 places that has ever done this to me. I was fighting back tears. That says a lot on how welcome they make you feel. Every person at this resort was phenomenal and I give the highest praise.

I struggled on giving this place 4 or 3 stars. I decided on three because the last resort we stayed in Fiji was so much better. The reason for my low score is food was expensive and not that good and there was very little to do and what activities there were, were so expensive. We came to Fiji to snorkel and I was not able to do that at this resort. The good The view of the room was absolutely insanely beautiful. The room was huge w a huge closet to put your clothes away The room came stocked w cookie and popcorn as well as sodas and water free of charge. They gave us gifts of plug adapters and mosquito spray that is the organic kind, not heavy duty. When we arrived we got fruit platter and Champaign. This is the dry side of the island as well as windy in afternoon, this made for little to no mosquitos. I had been eaten alive at our first resort so this was a pleasant surprise. The staff is very friendly and greets w Bula. The pool chairs are very comfortable and seem to be always available. This is a family friendly resort but I never saw a child at the pool. I think they stay at kids club. The Bad The food was very expensive at dinner and the menu was too exotic for my liking. I would pay $$$$ for food if I thought I would like it but I looked at the menu daily and thought I would not like it. I am very grateful we rented a car rather than get a car service from Nadi because we found a grocery store about 10 min up the road called True Mart that had a great restaurant in it. We eat there daily. We eat a few meals by pool and they were OK. The room had a few things that should not be in a 5 star resort room, a lamp held together w electrical tape, a hamper that was really worn and a bathroom door that did not open more than halfway. This type of thing really takes away from the luxury feel. There were also some large bugs in room nightly. I am not sure how they get in but they do. There was not a lot to do. The morning Yoga was at 7 am, a little too early for holiday. The half day snorkeling tour was $850 USD and that felt too step. We did not snorkel the home reef because it was too windy to go in ocean. This is a great resort to lay around and relax if that is what you want to do. I felt that this hotel was rustic luxury, not up to true luxury standards of what have stayed in but nice.
