4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 May 2013 NEW

If you're travelling to Fiji, you'll probably need a place to stay in Nadi before going elsewhere. We found Smuggler's Cove good for families. It's at the nice end of the backpacker spectrum - a backpacker/resort - away from the more developed Denerau but still on the beach. Free pick-up from airport is good, and it's just a 10-min taxi...

I did not have high expectations when going to stay here but I could have and would have left feeling fine. Upon arrival the staff was very friendly, personable, and willing to go above and beyond answering questions and providing information. This place is known as a hostel but it does not feel like one. It is VERY clean and... More

Stayed two nights before heading to an island. Should have realized the cheaper price, meant second-rate service. The family room was nice and big...but really nothing for kids to do. Staff were not the happiest bunch. We had one really nice waiter on the second night but otherwise we were largely ignored. The beach wasn't very nice. Will stay far... More

This place should be avoided at all cost. - it uses proudly his 4-star backpacker rating to double its price compared to the average in the area. Overpriced room, dorm, and especially meals. Absolutely outrageous. A good joke : laundry is 4$, ok, dryer is 4$ as well, hum hum. And powder for 2 laundries is... 4$ too. Uh. -... More

I Stayed here for two nights in the girls dormitory upon my arrival in Fiji. They provided a free airport pick up which was great but I felt the drivers attitude was poor.

We were only in Fiji for a couple of days on the way back to the UK from New Zealand and were on a tight budget, so as a result we didn't leave Nadi. The pros and cons of this hotel: 1) The ensuite double was spacious, clean and was facing away from the bar area so was quiet. 2)... More

We stayed for 5 nights in a premium room which was really nice. Queen bed, private bathroom, air conditioning and a fan. Complimentary breakfast was a nice touch, though you get sick of toast and jam very quickly. The staff are all nice enough, just not very friendly.
