Shangri-La Yanuca Island, Fiji

It was everything we wanted a resort getaway in Fiji to feel like. Island vibes without needing to travel far with young kids.

The awesome staff was the highlight of our stay….Napoleon, Duncan, Joshua, Amasa, Bau, Epi, Taniela, James, Biu and all the other amazing hotel staff were so welcoming and pleasant and ever ready to help us out….Besides that, we loved the swimming pools, the water sports facilities and the fantastic location…

we liked the atmosphere, like a village, with covered walk ways in between accommodation wings and restaurants. Our quiet room looked out onto lawn then the ocean, lovely sunsets. Loved the large frogs at night on the lawn. The staff were so happy, kind and polite. Our grandchild, 9mths was beautifully cared for in the evenings, he loved her!! The Fijians are fabulous with children! Enough restaurants to choose from, our favourite being Takali,Asian cuisine. Plenty to do, great for families. Snorkelling not the best, coral not healthy, but a nice selection of pretty fish. Watch out for sea snakes. Massages by the Lagoon magnificent ! Lagoon and beach lovely.Tour on the Sigatoka river, visiting village and the welcome/dance and singing, lunch in a village home and driving to and around the Salad bowl, is a MUST. The Fire show/meal and dancing was wonderful. The cocktail/ happy hours are very good. A lovely happy relaxing resort.

The staff indeed the whole FIJIAN community COULDN’T HAVE BEEN MORE HELPFUL, AND WE, AS A FAMILY, PARTICULARLY APPRECIATED THE WAY IN WHICH THE CHILDREN WERE CARED FOR, AND THE GAMES PROVIDED WITH SO MUCH PARTICIPATION OF THE LOCAL enthusiastic Fijian hotel staff. We liked the variety and access to the many different hotel restaurants and the kids being entertained to allow adults to eat at leisure.

We loved our stay at the Shangri-la! We’re so glad we booked this resort as it was perfect for our young family. We have two kids under the age of 9 and chose to book the Ocean View room as opposed to the Lagoon room. We’re so glad we did because being close to the smaller pool, as opposed to the chaotic family lagoon pool, made for a perfect holiday for both adults and kids! We also loved being so close to the beautiful reef beach and eating breakfast every morning at the delicious Takali restaurant - wow, what an amazing view of the reef! All the staff were really friendly and accommodating. No complaints at all :)
