Hotels Near Captain Cook Cruises Fiji in Denarau Island

Had an amazing experience at a Club Wyndham. Facilities were awesome but the customer service from staff was outstanding. Waqa and Richard at reception were amazing! They were always making us laugh and made sure we were well taken care of! Izzy was also outstanding! He taught us about Fijian culture and made our holiday so much fun and educational. These are the type of staff every company needs! Vinaka Waqa, Richard & Izzy! Club Wyndham is very fortunate to have you. You guys are the reason we would return :)

Its business suites - includes kitchen and laundry in room. Always great to have these services. Beach isnt much, think walk along rather than swim. This is one of 3-4 hotels in a row beachfront. Guests primarily those passing thru to islands, backpackers and groups. The hotels’ beachfront bars were quiet during week in May but came alive for weekend. Restaurant on top floor had great views. Service very slow in restaurants of all these hotels. Staff very helpful and friendly.

We are an elderly couple. After arriving in Fiji, we found out how right we were to choose Leisure City Apartment. The property is well-equipped, clean and tidy, and has a very good location. You can find a large supermarket, bakery, bank, Burger King, at least two Chinese restaurants, and a Chinese supermarket in a 10-minute walk. Life is very convenient. The landlord is from Beijing and has lived in Fiji for more than ten years. He knows the local area very well. Because Fiji has more than 300 islands, and 20 to 30 of them have been developed, the landlord became our consultant and recommended two tourist islands with great tourism value. The tropical islands made us very happy. Usually we don't like to eat out, we like to cook by ourselves; so our homestay has obvious advantages. The kitchen here is very large, with a large refrigerator, a four-burner gas stove, an electric rice cooker, and a complete set of pots and pans. The next day we went to the supermarket to buy a local chicken, and cooked a large pot of chicken soup with carrots and potatoes, which was very delicious. The landlord is very enthusiastic. He drives to the farmer's market a few kilometers away every day to purchase agricultural and sideline products. Every time he asks us if we want to go and see? We drove with him twice and bought beef, eggs, local vegetables and fruits. The landlord has two cars to provide convenience to guests. In addition to the appropriate fees we asked him to pick us up at the airport, he took us to the pier twice and took us to the farmer's market twice, all for free. That night, the landlord also gave us fried breadfruit, a local specialty made by his wife, which was very crispy and delicious. The islands in Fiji are very beautiful, and the local indigenous people of Fiji are very warm and friendly to tourists, but Fiji is indeed still a developing country. The overall impression of Fiji left on us is very good; of course, this good feeling comes in large part from our landlord. So I would like to take this opportunity to write a message to thank our landlord again!

ETA for our flight was 6:30am. We arrived with 3 other flights and to make it worse, there was no electricity at the airport. We didn’t think anyone was still going to wait for us but our beautiful host Holeva was still waiting 3 hours later. She greeted us with the most beautiful and warm smile together with Koli. Even though she was up early 5:00 to 5:30 at the office preparing to host another family, she would always make time to see if we were okay or if we needed anything. Our villa was beautiful and we had the most gorgeous views of the mangroves and the Sleeping giants in the distance. It was peaceful and relaxing. The villa provided the essentials and it was comfortable and spacious. We had no neighbours so we had total privacy. Tv didn’t have any reception but that’s okay because we spent our days basking in the sun and enjoying the view. Holeva, you went above and beyond to make our holiday a memorable one and it was. Vinaka vaka levu….nisa moce!!!

We had a great stay at the Fiji Gateway hotel! The rooms were clean and in great condition and the showers had excellent water pressure and plenty of hot water - perfect for helping us relax as we continued our trip. As opposed to other hotel rooms in Fiji, the air conditioning worked great and the safe in the room was in good working condition - something that is always important for protecting your valuables and travel documents. This was a perfect place for us to stay when we had to fly out of Nadi airport for our flight to the island of Taveuni. On this night, we ate at the restaurant which had excellent, friendly staff and good food. But the thing we remember the most about this hotel were the 2 live musicians Igenasio and Joape who play in the bar and restaurant. During our meal, I kept pausing and saying to my wife, ”listen to this awesome music”! Just about every day for the rest of our trip I kept saying to my wife, ”did I say how awesome those musicians at the Fiji Gateway hotel were?” On our final night in Fiji, just before we went to Nadi airport, we went back to the Fiji Gateway hotel to see if Igenasio and Joape were playing in the restaurant and bar area. Guess what? They were! I was beyond excited to see them and told them that we came back to the hotel just to find them. They did not disappoint and played 2 songs that we requested as well as songs requested by others. They are a great duo and they complement each other with their lead singing and harmony. We'll always remember this final night in Fiji at the Gateway Hotel!

The staff was friendly. We booked a Family Villa through Tripadvisor Plus for 2 nights. Our flight on Fiji air was scheduled to arrive at 6AM in the morning. They held the room for us and it was ready when we arrived at 7AM. Room was ground level. The staff moved us to a Villa closer to the dining and pool because my wife walks with a cane and a shorter walking distance is better for her. Room was clean and spacious. I would stay again.

Staff super genuinely kind, friendly and interested in our stay being the best. Delicious food at the restaurant at reasonable prices, fantastic service. Main pool big and well appointed with seating and shade. Kayaks available. Superb sunsets each night on the landing. Very historic location. Check out at 10 am was too early.

Transportation: From vuda Marina, the hotel provides free pick-up and drop-off. Going to other places needs to communicate with the island owner. The boss is super enthusiastic. Going to cloud9 also found his friends to send us. Although the boat to cloud9 is not good, it is very exciting (500fjd a boat) Hygiene: Health is still very clean, Sapporo is around the island after snorkeling, you will bring a lot of sand to the bed. Environment: The environment is great, the beach on the front of the hotel is very garbage, but the beach on the other side of the island is very good. Focus! Focus! Focus! Snorkeling around the island can see turtles, and luckily you can see ”friendly” sharks! Service: Service top! After the explosion of Shangri-La brand hotel (brand hotel is a lot of people, the service staff is not very enthusiastic, even ordering is not positive, water is not given). The service staff on the island will even remember your name to say hello. When there are many people, there are kava welcome parties and bonfire parties. It makes people feel that all aspects are served very thoughtfully. After returning to the main island, the hotel will arrange for you to rent. We emphasized that we have to play the watch (the driver who does not play the watch is slaughtered indiscriminately), the taxi from vuda Marina to Shangri-La hotel is less than 80 dollars, but from Shangri-La to the airport is slaughtered indiscriminately by brand hotel 120 dollars. Advantages: warm service, super enthusiasm, few people in the island, can play alone on the beach, the island is very quiet, the water around the island is also very good, there are many fish and turtles Disadvantages: There are many free activities (boating, paddleboarding) that need to be consulted by yourself. There are no bright corals nearby. The brunch is relatively simple. Wi-Fi is not good.

5 star prices, 3 star quality. Our bure was lovely, but not 5 star. The overall appearance was worn. The mosquito Net was cheap and had numerous holes. The garbage can in the bathroom was dented and rusty, the canvas roof was filthy…all not a big deal but when they are charging $720 FJ per night, it should be pristine. We had booked the Fiji Orchid for two nights to celebrate my 65th birthday, which was to be the second night. This was a highlight of our trip to Fiji. We planned on having my birthday dinner at the Orchid, after eating there our first night, we changed our plan. I ordered the consume ($26) it was a small serving with a few veggies in it, tasteless and bland. I ordered the creamy curried prawns as my main ($40) the prawns (several small prawns or large shrimp) were over cooked and tough. And they were not in a curry sauce, rather a sweet seafood like sauce. The exact sauce was served as a condiment at the Boatshed where we ended up for my birthday dinner.(and had an excellent meal) The worst part of the evening was the service. I realize that our server was “in training”, she was lovely, but over anxious. She hovered, walked by, constantly checking on our progress and ready to whisk away items finished with. Mid meal I put down my fork to take a sip of my drink, she was immediately there asking if I was done. It was not a relaxing meal, I left the meal feeling stressed and unhappy with the food and service. I told my husband, I will not go back for my birthday dinner!
