The Fiji Orchid

EspañolBure tranquilo en un increíble jardín tropical con un entorno impecablemente hermoso. Tranquilo, relajante, muy privado con todas las comodidades. Y comida increíble. Excelente servicio. ¡El lugar perfecto para que los adultos se relajen, después de una semana de relajación! :) Después de que nos recibiera nuestro propio conductor de "Fiji Orchid" en el puerto marítimo de Denarau, el personal inmediatamente nos hizo sentir muy bienvenidos y atendió todas nuestras necesidades. Nuestro viaje por la isla nos brindó la relajación de ser náufragos mimados. Fiji Orchid continuó esa sensación a un nivel superior. Los jardines tropicales que rodean cada habitación, sonidos de pájaros tropicales, árboles frutales y una hermosa área de piscina. Solo 6 habitaciones prácticamente le aseguran una experiencia exclusiva y tranquila. El restaurante del lugar, "Raymond's", fue igualmente impresionante. Después del hermoso paseo desde nuestra habitación, disfrutamos de una bebida en el salón y un delicioso servicio de cena (así como un desayuno). Se pueden recomendar y programar recorridos y excursiones por la isla para usted, así como masajes en el lugar.

Precios de 5 estrellas, calidad de 3 estrellas. Nuestro bure era encantador, pero no de 5 estrellas. El aspecto general era desgastado. La mosquitera era barata y tenía numerosos agujeros. El cubo de basura del baño estaba abollado y oxidado, el techo de lona estaba sucio... todo no es gran cosa, pero cuando cobran 720 FJ por noche, debería estar impecable. Habíamos reservado el Fiji Orchid por dos noches para celebrar mi 65 cumpleaños, que iba a ser la segunda noche. Este fue un momento destacado de nuestro viaje a Fiji. Habíamos planeado tener la cena de cumpleaños en el Orchid, después de comer allí nuestra primera noche, cambiamos nuestro plan. Pedí la bebida ($ 26), era una porción pequeña con algunas verduras, sin sabor y sosa. Pedí los camarones cremosos al curry como mi plato principal ($ 40), los camarones (varios camarones pequeños o camarones grandes) estaban demasiado cocidos y duros. Y no estaban en salsa de curry, sino en una salsa dulce similar a la de los mariscos. La salsa exacta fue servida como condimento en el Boatshed donde terminamos para la cena de mi cumpleaños (y tuvimos una comida excelente). La peor parte de la noche fue el servicio. Me doy cuenta de que nuestra camarera estaba "en prácticas", era encantadora, pero demasiado ansiosa. Se quedaba rondando, caminando, constantemente controlando nuestro progreso y lista para retirar los artículos terminados. A mitad de la comida dejé el tenedor para tomar un sorbo de mi bebida, ella estuvo allí de inmediato para preguntarme si había terminado. No fue una comida relajante, me fui de la comida sintiéndome estresada e insatisfecha con la comida y el servicio. ¡Le dije a mi esposo que no volvería a la cena de mi cumpleaños!

My partner and I had the most incredible stay at Orchid Fiji at the end of January. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning surroundings and the warm, welcoming staff. The resort is absolutely beautiful, offering breathtaking views, peaceful surroundings, and an amazing atmosphere that made our stay unforgettable. Our villa was spacious, clean, and beautifully designed with all the amenities we could ask for. The attention to detail was exceptional, and it really felt like a home away from home. The food was absolutely delicious, with a great selection of fresh, local dishes that we couldn’t get enough of. What really stood out to us was the incredible service. The team went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and memorable. Whether it was organizing a private excursion or just making sure we had everything we needed, they truly made us feel like VIPs. If being laid back, do nothing, relaxing time is what you after, look no further

The room was absolutely dreamy. The cabin/lodge was like being in a tree house but not worrying about falling out. The grounds were beautiful. I didn't make into the pool, but it was inviting (I sorta can't swim-not enough to go solo) Enjoyed the calls of the Mina birds. The atmosphere was quite relaxing which is what I was going for. The staff was 5 star, but felt more like family. The food was exquisite. I know I wrote down the fish...somewhere ;-) I had a massage that was outstanding by Masi. It was just what I needed to end my travel journey that started in Brisbane AU-Tasmania-New Zealand (N&S) w/relaxiation. It was a treat when I got to meet the owner. She was so welcoming as was her staff.

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.

The staff really made our stay at the Fiji Orchid special. Every single encounter we had with anyone from the reception, grounds staff, security, waiting staff, cleaners - everyone was so amazing. They even sang a happy anniversary song for us which made our year! Overall the hotel has a really calming vibe. The only downside was the actual bure which really need a bit of a refurb, as it is considered luxury accommodation but the lighting was poor in the bathroom, fittings were old etc.
