Smugglers Cove Beach Resort and Hotel

Staff was great. Bed is firm. Food was fine.

If you’re after pampered luxury and perfection then don’t book here. However, if you’re a backpacker, a couple, a family on a budget, a retired couple, this is a really nice spot to settle in for a week or two. Super kind and friendly service, clean AC rooms, good bar food and snacks, reasonably priced drinks, entertainment and a beach that backs into the hotel. The staff go out of their way to help and be friendly and genuine. Lucy is an absolute gem in this regard. This place is pretty much the best you’re going to get for such an affordable price. Would definitely recommend.

wonderful property, beautiful people and staff and lovely locals. such a fun time.

Great!!

Booked online, got there, overbooked... could not fulfill booking. Then did not refund booking! Terrible service trying to get that resolved.

Very relaxing vibe right on the water. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

This is a hostel. Paid for the 4 person dorm, there was an apparent “glitch” and was put in a dorm with 20 others. Restaurant staff are great. The beach is not ideal for swimming or leisure. Lots of hustlers infront and on beach. Book a boat port Denarau and stay on one of the islands, not worth spending your holiday at smugglers.

Excellent beach location . I booked a smaller dorm size. Ate and drank at the hostel it was reasonably priced. Easy to meet friends and chill out. There was live music on a few nights. A fire dance. I was able to book snorkelling with them.

This was a perfect spot to spend a 15-hr layover with two young children (ages 2 and 7)! It was an affordable taxi ride to/from the airport-- $25 USD. We arrived early in the morning (8am) and were welcomed warmly and given a place to store our bags until check-in at 2pm. We ordered breakfast, sat on the beach, used the pool, and relaxed until our room was ready. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. There is a delicious market and Korean restaurant within walking distance in addition to the on-site dining options. Staff called our taxi for us when it was time to head back to the airport. Not super fancy, but clean, comfortable, and accommodating the whole time we were there. We will certainly consider staying again in the future for long layovers in Fiji!

Lovely staff, but you definitely get what you pay for in terms of amenities!
