First time been fiji . We didn't do much research. Agent booked hotel for us. Feeling luck to stay here 5night . Very Nice room . Good service. Breakfast is fantastic. One tips . Make the book ing as early as you can . Will save your lots of money. We did one month before we travel. All Most cost us double the price if we book 6months early.
My wife and I stayed at this resort for part of our honeymoon a few months ago. It was a beautiful way to end our trip before we headed back to the states! Incredible hospitality, excellent spa facilities, and genuine staff that made our time special. They also kept the champagne flowing at breakfast, lunch, and dinner so we truly felt a King and Queen. Special shout-out to Asivini and the whole team!
Was told this was the first hotel on Port Denarau (stand to be corrected). I like the theme of this place. It's exotic and beautiful. Luxury Fijian style. Have some photos of the fitness centre since some may not find it on Google. They have a great place to workout. See photos
We stayed at the Sheraton next door and had a look here. Very nice place. A few shops on site. From what we have seen its truly a wonderfully beautiful hotel. You can see bits of Fiji culture here. You won't be looking at the pacific bluest of waters from the site . yet you can walk or bus to the marina. Sail around the bluest clearest waters. the south seas cruises there will blow you away. The resort is tropical . just lovely. I fell in love with the architecture on arrival. Just go you won't be dissapointed.
We had breakfast at the Ocean Terrace and it was phenomenal. The food was really tasty and the staff were friendly and helpful. The resort had a professional but island-like atmosphere. I am looking forward to visiting again.
This is a nice hotel. The staff and service were excellent, always making you feel taken care of. The pool is nice but is filled with tons of screaming children. There is an adult only lap pool which doesn't have lounge chairs. The rooms were large and spacious. the ocean front view rooms are nice and overlook the water. However, the bathroom could be updated. The main issue is the shower, while clean, by design it seemed as if it was always flooded as the shower curtain was too short. There is a drain in the floor that get clogged once you place your bath mat down.
Also-- the beach at Denarau is reclaimed mud grove. (If you stay here, hire a taxi go go to Natadola Beach) Not the white sand crystal blue waters in your minds eye. However, we were also able to use the facilities at neighboring Sheraton which had an outdoor pool adults only which was the saving grace. Also, beware that sometimes people charge things to your room fraudulently (we had ice creams charged to our room that we had to have removed. Upon check-in I noticed someone checking out also having this issue.)
The Westin Resort is a beautiful resort with well-maintained facilities. The beach the resort is located on isn’t the best however there is a free boat which operates to an uninhabited island just off the coast where you can go swimming. All in all I would not stay in Denarau Island if you wanted a beach swimming vacation however there are heaps of day tours from Denarau to the outer island so if you are happy to swim in the pool for the majority of the time. The day spa at the resort was nice however I do feel the cost was high for the services they offered. The hotel room facilities also need a bit of love, our bathroom was not what I would come to expect from a 5-star resort. We felt our hotel room was dark however it was on the group floor therefore I would recommend a higher room level. The staff were so friendly and always had the biggest smiles on their faces. Denarau Island however is not the real Fiji. The man-made island is very commercial so I wouldn’t recommend Denarau for those wanting an authentic Fijian escape.
lovely hotel

Heavenly spa is by far the best massages we have ever had!!

A beautiful place to stay. Great views, big and spacious rooms. The staff are always friendly and always glad to assist. Excellent service everywhere you go in the resort.
A great hotel that is usually busy at breakfast so show up early before the rush. A-la-carte menu items are more that adequate but pricey and for a large family it can become very expensive especially when you include drinks. Great views of the setting sun so be sure to have a camera handy. The pool is nice but needs heating during the cooler months. The queen bed was not very comfortable and sagged in the middle. The rooms were nice though. The staff are warm and friendly and will go out of their way to accommodate your requests. A nice touch is when they sing the traditional Fijian farewell song at breakfast for guests who are leaving. Lots of great memories.
Nice resort. Food and drink extremely expensive (more than top Sydney restaurants) which isn't reflected in the quality. No decent access to the sea. All staff are great and very friendly.
Something have gone seriously wrong here. Westin, maybe the best hotel chain in the world, at least my favourite. But this was a disappointment.
Of course, it is a 5 star hotel so the room are good. Well, maybe thin walls as you can her them speak in the room next to you.
What are you looking forward to on your Journey? 2 things, to step inside your door again at home, and to arrive to your hotel.
Check-in and you're whiskered to your room, a cup of tea and a hot shower. But here you have to trot around (Could as well have the room at the other side of town) with your luggage and bags.
When you finally reach your room there is no elevators so you have to carry your heavy bags up the stairs. Checking out, I was drenched in sweat after having pulled all my stuff from my room in the tropical heat.
I was not in a good mood reaching the reception
I had to use my phone for WIFI as the hotel WIFI was so slow it didn't work. Westin ! This was a disappointment and if I come back to Fiji I will not sleep in any of your beds
2017 and the anti slid tiles have been around for ages. Coming out from the shower and it is like walking on ice
Power sockets, I have been living in tent in India and Africa and they have sockets fitting all the plugs you can imagine. Here, it is only the Fiji sockets in the room. It is 2017
But the staff is Super friendly and the room is of course OK, 5 star hotel.
Had an absolutely wonderful 2 weeks. Staff have been incredibly friendly. I would definitely stay here again. On our way to checking out we decided to take our cases ourselves and by chance came across a member of staff that offered to take my wife's case. It turned out he was the hotel manager. A leader by example.
Thank you Westin.
Big shout out to the management and staff fantastic service all so happy and friendly to all quests THANK YOU
cheers cAZx
Save yourself from wasting your money and holiday here. This is unfortunately a very poorly run Westin, not up to the brands standards. The service was unapologetically bad if even existent. Things move
slow on the island - the staff here used "fiji time" as an excuse for their poor service. The restaurants in the Westin had truly tasteless, overpriced food. The only lovely thing was the pool - but sadly this experience was also bad because they don't have enough chairs, they are stingy with towels which they make you check out and in, and the water was kept too cold. Stay elsewhere at all cost - preferably off the mainland.
Excellent service, well set up for both couples and those with families. Had adult only pool and restaurants, lots of activities daily.
The Westin is a little old compared with the other resorts on Denerau Island, but it's still a luxury hotel with great service. The restaurants (Kitchen Grill, Zing) are overpriced for what you get so I'd recommend either walking over to the Sofitel next door and getting lunch/dinner at Salt, walking across the road to the golf club for lunch/dinner, or walking around the corner to the shops outside the Sheraton and eating breakfast/lunch at Bulaccino or The Creperie.
The rooms are nice but are a little dated. The free wifi is incredibly slow, but it's free. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful.
Hotel rooms are a bit on the older side but overall the hotel is nice and offers a variety of food options with the Sheraton properties next door. Big downside is the beach only Access through Sheraton and pretty disappointing. You are better off to visit the islands
Very friendly staff. The breakfast is to die for. Hotel will accommodate you in any way possible. There is a 25m lap pool among other pools.
Top resort, friendly stuff! We book a garden view room and become a upgrade to oceanfront, perfect.
Awesome resort! Stayed here for a week, great facilities, lovely staff.
We enjoyed the stay at the Westin. We also appreciate the cleanliness and the tidiness of the place. Great service and staff. It has the best location amongst the hotels on the island.
Fabulous stay, staff so friendly & helpful can't wait to go back. Special thanks to gardener Alfred, security guard, Kathy at spa & all dining staff. Well done everyone you have exceeded our expectations. Vinucka
I really wasn't impressed with my stay at the Westin. First they tried to downgrade our room, I had to request several times for them to provide us the room we paid for. The staff service was ordinary which was a shame as usually the people in Fiji are exceptionally nice and accommodating. The facilities were good and there was alot to offer however the accommodation is very steeply priced.
My major issue with the Westin is that it is not truly a Fijian experience, its a resort very similar to what I could stay at back home. I wouldn't stay here again there are places just as nice but with far nicer staff with a far more Fijian atmosphere.
