The property is true to the advertised photos which is great. It's beachside and has a very relaxing vibe. There was a range of activities that you can choose to participate in if you wish too.
The pool was always too packed that you could never get a lounge chair to just relax. Possibly investing in some extra chairs would be great.
There are no locks on the bathroom door which has wooden slates (not sound proof) which makes it super awkward if you are doing a poo 💩 when someone else is in the room.
Apart from the above mentioned, great experience we would come back again.
One of the best holidays ever due to our experience at Naviti. Genuinely felt like leaving family behind when we left. Beautiful grounds, great views of the ocean, reef views nearby, lots of planned complementary activities, awesome pool with swim up bar, really good food at the buffet restaurant, and the best staff- warm, friendly and caring. Great for families with kids with kids club available throughout the day and fun activities for them to look forward to every night. Great cultural performances after dinner on multiple nights during the week. Special mention to Vijay the restaurant manager who's customer service is exemplary, and also to Sera, Jo and Maria at kids club, Naomi at reception, housekeeper Mila, super warm and friendly porter Mua, Maan Singh from landscaping who got us fresh coconuts straight from the trees. The activities staff are super talented, and are instrumental in making your stay fun and worthwhile-special mention to Parma, Bless, Saki. The village behind the resort is a very convenient and cheap alternative for activities like hair braiding, massage, souvenir shopping, horse riding etc. We stayed at a couple of other 5 star resorts in Fiji as well but Naviti clearly stood out. Highly recommend and would love to go back.
Staff were lovely except for the older ones that never smile. Very under staffed at reception, waited so long. The rooms are very outdated and in need of a facelift. Ants were so bad near the coffee making area, in the bath all over our toothbrushes and even in our bed. Asked staff to spray but they never did. We got all inclusive buffet and drinks but there is so many things you can’t have like cocktails. I believe it should be any drinks. Food was so overcooked and very basic foods with bugs on it. Couldn’t go to the kids section because it’s not for adults. That’s wrong they had foods that I would have liked it should be for all. We had to pay an extra $80 each adults for Christmas lunch which I thought was a bit to much. Paid for all 7 of us at check in with our hotel costs. Checked a couple days later to see if our 3 room accounts were $0 they said we have to pay for Christmas lunch. Showed them the receipts and they said they fixed it up. On check out still saying we owed 7 x $80 for Christmas lunch.
I was furious by this stage. I’m home now and hoping I don’t receive a email saying we still owe. Reception are so under staff that it took 45 minutes to check out. I was so disappointed with this hotel as it was planned to have Christmas with family and everyone was so unhappy with their rooms and food. Would not recommend.
Travelled with a family of 4 from Sydney. Great place to unwind, not too busy, stunning grounds, fantastic friendly staff, good food, great range of activities for the kids. Only slight negatives were that the room was quite dated and there were quite a few exclusions from the All-Inclusive drinks and food menus. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at Naviti.
We have been many many times and previously LOVED this resort. The new management is not improving it - it is making it worse - rooms are dated - noting has been updated in 15 years, badly understaffed, our room wasn’t serviced once - the poor housekeeping team arriving to service at 4pm - they changed out our towels but the room wasn’t cleaned once, the all inclusive has had many changes not for the better, food was very average, beautiful warm Fijians seem overworked and unhappy - heartbreaking changes to our beloved naviti!!!!
Perfect place to relax. Has everything you need. Food was delicious. But, its a huge place and was a bit difficult for my elderly mum to get around.
