The Fiji Orchid

A hidden gem away from the hustle and bustle. The staff is very friendly, food was delicious and the rooms are perfect. It reminded me of a permanent tented African camp. Lots of birds around, we could even hear the screeching owls at dinner time. Amazing massage as well! Marcee knew exactly where she had to focus on without me telling her. Our driver Ruben was fantastic too! Friendly, knowledgeable and funny. Definitely recommend it!!

This is an absolute gem of a place, super close to the airport, they pick you up and drop you off so you don’t even have to think about any of it, but it feels a million miles away. Private and secluded and feels like you’re staying at the private home of a glamorous movie star friend. It’s not a resort so much, more of a secluded luxury spot to relax, and it’s absolutely divine. If you’re looking for a layover before you go out to a far flung island, or you just want to get off the plane and be drinking a wine by the pool in half an hour, it’s perfect. The best part of the experience is both the incredible burres that are so unique and make you feel like you’re in a movie - and also the owner and boss lady extraordinaire Mrs B - we met her at dinner in the restaurant one night and felt like we’d been friends for life. Her magic and hospitality is infectious and makes you want to drink life down like a frozen margarita. She really went out of her way to make our stay special - the little things like rearranging the menu to make sure we could try Fijian food, to showing us an absolutely incredible Fijian circus show, she made our trip phenomenal. You’ll love it, just go. The only thing I’d say is that it’s not a resort like Sheraton, so there isn’t always someone there to attend to your every need, but if you want something just ask. They’ll do everything to help. (And if you’re someone who at 2am is like, hm, I want juice I’ll just go to the on site seven eleven…it doesn’t work like that. But There’s a bar and they’ll work super hard to get you whatever you want snacks wise - they found me some amazing local style chips and nuts just because I said I was hungry - so if you want something just ask. Don’t waste your money on a cookie cutter Nadi resort, go here and hang out in a pocket of paradise.

What an amazing place this was, just the perfect escape retreat my husband and I needed, this place is so beautiful, surrounded by such vibrant colour of flowers and trees, the bures here are so lovely and clean, the pool is great and the food is delicious. Thankyou so much to Jenny and her staff, they were very courteous and hospitable, their service is amazing, they always go out of their way to make sure the guests are comfortable and relaxed, I highly recommend the Fiji Orchid to everyone, if you are looking for peace and serenity , this is the place to go. Big shoutout to Reuben Debbie Lau and Echa, they were truly amazing, always made sure we weee ok, they were definitely service at its best, thankyou again for making our stay an enjoyable and relaxed experience, we will definitely be back, oh and Jenny, you should be so proud of yourself and your staff, you all do such a great job in maintaining your hotel and guests, Thankyou, Vinaka.❤️

A quiet retreat set in wonderful gardens I found the Orchid an ideal stopover before heading to the outer islands. It has a wonderful pool and with only six bures I had it to myself . The food was really outstanding and I believe their chef ,Sawali, represented Fiji in an island cooking demo in NZ. I'm going to the Lau group with Captain Cook Cruises in Sept so i'll stay at the Orchid again then as the cruise now leaves from Lautoka which is about 15 minutes by cab. I can't recommend the Orchid enough.

Before embarking on a long trip to Australia, I knew I would need someplace to decompress; to allow me to relax after months of stressful work. I decided to skip the busy resorts in Fiji (too many people) and searched for a smaller property. The Fiji Orchid fit my needs and I booked. What a fantastic choice I made! The grounds are lush, beautiful and well kept. The individual bungalow I booked is massive, clean and extremely comfortable. It was like a dream The staff are kind and attentive. Always with a smile and a warm greeting. I was fortunate enough to be able to spend some time with the owners; we struck up a nice friendship and I was able to learn so much about them, their business and the island. I intend to stay in contact with these lovely people I also intend to explore the South Pacific and I now have a base from which to do so. I will definitely be re-visiting The Fiji Orchid, before and/or after, any adventures I have in Oceania.

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!
