InterContinental Fiji Golf Resort & Spa

We had 6 family members and two rooms by the pool and stayed for 2 nights. Rooms were good and service in rooms great! Breakfast buffet was just okay as well as having dinner at the same restaurant. Nothing special at all. The other restaurant where kids are only allowed at certain hours only is much better. Def walk out to the beach on the left side by the lagoon. The gift shop will ship any wooden crafts you buy which is good so you don’t have to carry them around the world with you.

My partner and I stayed at Intercontinental Fiji for a week in February. It was our first time visiting Fiji and also staying in an all inclusive resort style. So we really didn’t know what to expect but we did a fair bit of homework prior to booking the Intercon. We don’t have children, and we’re in our mid 30’s, so we wanted somewhere that had some options for ‘adults only’ facilities. We also traveled outside of school holidays. We had a Garden View king room which was very spacious. Bed was huge but a little too firm for my liking. Same for the pillows. However my partner had no issues with the bed. The wardrobes are huge with lots of hangers. Also good desk space to place your belongings while you stay. Bathrooms are nice and big but a tiny bit outdated. Chipped basins and a little leak in one of the taps. Nothing major. One thing I would suggest is that the lighting in the bathroom be improved. Or at least better lighting around the vanity. Luckily I wasn’t planning on wearing much makeup during our stay, but it was a bit difficult to see especially in the evenings. The room balcony is big and has a lounge and outdoor bathtub which we used a couple of times. There is an outdoor curtain for privacy. Also use this if you don’t want the sun blaring through in the morning, as the shutters in the room allow for a lot of sunlight into the room even when fully closed. One thing I look forward to about staying at a luxury hotel is the blackout curtains, so it was a little frustrating being woken up early. There is a gorgeous infinity pool that overlooks the beach and is only available to adults. I spend 90% of my time here, reading, relaxing and drinking cocktails. The pool is situated right next to the resorts Bar & Grill restaurant so there’s plenty of food and drink options without having to leave your poolside bed. I will say, as relaxing and tranquil the pool was, there’s no music playing and it does close at sunset so there isn’t exactly a vibe for kicking on into the evening if that’s something you’re looking for. There seemed to be plenty of activities provided by the resort. We didn’t try many as they didn’t quite interest us. I would have loved for more of the activities to include more cultural insights into Fiji and the people. There are 3 restaurants and 1 bar on site. Breakfast is included and available at the buffet or the fine dining restaurant which we didn’t get an opportunity to try. Buffet breakfast had plenty of options, lots of fresh fruit for juices, omelette station etc pretty standard. We did have dinner at the fine dining restaurant early into our trip and it was terrific! Menu has an extensive selection of seafood options. Decent wine list too. The service was absolutely outstanding. The team helped to organise a birthday cake for my partner and everything was executed perfectly. There is a smart casual dress code for this restaurant which most guests seemed to adhere to. Overall, food was decent considering the volume of guests the resort would serve. The sharing style dishes at Kama Bar was probably our favourite meal of the trip. We booked a couples 60 minute relaxation massage at the Spa which was absolutely glorious. The complimentary Wai Zone hydrotherapy program includes steam room, ice rooms and heated jacuzzi which you can access before your treatment. The massage was excellent and the service was beautiful. Loved every minute of my time in the spa. We also played a round of golf at the nearby Natadola Beach Golf Club. This is such a stunning course with gorgeous scenery. A quite bit more expensive than your usual round of golf, but playing right along the beach made it worthwhile. Overall, the Intercon Fiji is a gorgeous, relaxing resort alongside one of the best parts of the Fiji coastline. There is quite a bit to do or do nothing at all like me and soak up the sunshine. It was maybe a tiny bit too quiet and a little difficult to meet other guests for a drink etc, as the vibe is very much about relaxation and tranquility. For our first time visiting a full inclusive resort, we had a really nice time. Given February is wet season for Fiji, we were blessed with sunshine soaked mornings and days and only a little drizzle in the late afternoon. This of course made our trip that much more enjoyable as we spent many hours at the pool or on the beach.

InterCon was great! Pen, was fantastic and made sure our entire stay was great! We did three scuba diving trips while staying there. They were truly incredible. The best dives we have ever gone on, and we have been on a lot. We would definitely recommend the Intercontinental for families and couples. We hope to go back one day!

If you book directly with the Inter Continental they will charge you more than on line booking companies so DO NOT BOOK DIRECTLY with this hotel. They will tell you they use 'Dynamic Pricing' so in our case we paid NZ$3,200 for a 4 night stay and paid in full to secure the best rate. 3 months later all on line web site booking sites have the same room at the same resort for $2,400 so it is simple, do not book directly with the hotel. Other hotel brands have a genuine customer first attitude but IHG and in particuliar the Intercontinental Fiji simply don't care so be warned!!

I have mixed feelings. Generally Fiji was hard on us as it was full pacific monsoon season experience, 3 days of continuous showers, crazy winds, storm, high tide and marine stingers warning signs… Apart from that the hotel itself was very nice and busy! I don’t know what are you actually supposed to do on Christmas in the island during the storm, we just slept for 2 days , room was spacious , good size for 3 adults. Very humid and wet, some drier for clothes would be nice but obviously this hotel should be really enjoyable only at dry season . I highly recommend to book beach frond ground floor suites- you are literally on the beach and it’s beautiful . Staff was good I don’t have anything negative to, they help us with trip cancellation because of weather/ health problems. Food on Christmas Eve dinner was delicious, loved their breakfast Christmas cocktails. Infinity pool is amazing! Generally design and grounds, location - all amazing! The real negative comment ( except of rain ha ha ) is their fine dining on site restaurant… not fine dining in any aspects - from ambience to guest attires … food very strange and tasteless even their dinner buffet was much better .. and wine was corked but ok was not very expensive so didn’t comment … Generally very nice hotel and beautiful location- but not in December rain season.
