Wellesley Resort

Had a great three-day stay here. While the weather didn't cooperate (cyclone hit on our second day) we still enjoyed the services of the friendly staff and the comfort of our room. The room was huge with a seating area, soft bed, fridge, large sink area and bathroom. While some areas of the room showed their age and the effects of tropical weather it was very comfortable and relaxing. The meals we had at the restaurant were all fantastic and prices were very reasonable. There's a nice big pool with comfy loungers and another lounging area down at the beach. There's nowhere close to walk as far as shops and such so bring your own snacks if you want. Really loved this place.

First—the good: the food was really good and the staff was kind and friendly. But the resort leaves a lot to be desired. The pool is a good size, but they only put the pads on the chairs one day out of the three we were there, so we had to sit on bare plastic frames. There is no beach. The high tide comes right up to property’s edge and when it is low tide, the sand has seaweed growing everywhere so there is no swimming at all. Plus—there were tin cans—rusty ones everywhere in the sand. We were afraid to walk out into the seaweed sand because we didn’t know what was in the seaweed that we couldn’t see. Property is out in the middle of nowhere, so if you want seclusion, this is your place. We were bored to tears. The activities they posted NEVER happened and the worst part of the whole experience was that the mosquitoes were FIERCE!!! I will never go back to this resort.

Great getaway, adults only, nice pool and beach. The staff is friendly and the food is good. This is not a luxury resort,,,,think seclusion and privacy!

The most amazing location - tucked away in the midst of hilly rainforest splendour. Food was fab (Eggs Bene are a must have), staff friendly & smiling. Room facilities were a little tired but clean, comfortable & serviced every day & the pool & surrounding gardens are tropical tranquil at its best. We hired a car to explore surrounding areas but ended up spending the entire week relaxing in the resort. A lovely stay.

Staff here were excellent - couldn't have done more for you. Food was delicious but limited menu. The perfect place for a secluded getaway right on the beach the only downfall is you have to have a car or able to use the buses. No restaurants or entertainment nearby. Choice of kayaking or snorkelling, or garden walks but very quiet on a night. Sadly caught a bug whilst there but staff very accommodating. Overall a lovely, relaxing stay.

Decent stay, enjoyed to location because we wanted a week on the beach to relax. Fair distance from any other amenities. Staff were great. Rooms could do with a bit of love.

The hotel is advertised as adults only, no guests under age 16. This is a lie. We awoke to the shrieking of children at 7:30am our FIRST MORNING there, of our honeymoon, by the way. There was a family of SEVEN in the room next to us, three adults and FOUR kids all under age 10. The kids screamed and ran wild throughout the resort, jumping in the pool, splashing, yelling, shrieking on the beautiful private beach for two nights and three days while their parents yapped on their cell phones. When I asked at reception why the hell there were kids in adult only hotel I was told, "oh yes, they checked in last night, we'll tell them to be quiet." Blatant false advertising and when I complained to Orbitz I was told flatly nothing would be done about it. We live in a neighborhood with kids on all sides and just wanted one week to be able to sleep in. Thanks for making us travel 18 hours and spending 6k to ruin our honeymoon, Orbitz and Wellesley Fiji.

We had an amazing time at the Wellesley. Couldn't fault it. The rooms were stunning - we got a tour through all of them as we are going to use this resort for our wedding. They are so well priced! The food was super, the staff were so attentive. They were so kind and caring. We loved lounging by the huge pool and bobbing up and down in the crystal clear lagoon. Evening cocktails on the beach bar deck were so romantic. We can't wait to come back

We were so impressed with our recent stay at the Wellesley Resort. It was everything we could of wished for and more. The personalised service was faultless from the minute we arrived. We really did feel like we left as friends. The drive into the resort was wonderful and you got to see the real side of Fiji, driving through the little towns along the way. The long driveway wound through beautiful plantations and opened up with magical sea views. We booked their middle of the range suites and they exceeded our expectations. Rooms spacious than most other resorts we've stayed in, very clean, with all the amenities you'd need. We loved dining over looking the pool and the ocean. The chef and wait staff were fun. They had loads of free activities on offer - local garden tours, coconut husking etc. We spend hours lounging on the beachside loungers...kept the bar staff busy! I even did my first snorkeling experience, not usually being one to swim in the sea. Forget about the large chain hotels where you're just one of 500 guests. Stay at the peaceful Wellesley where you really do leave as a friend and nothing is too much trouble. We can't wait to book a return stay.

The resort was tucked away and difficult to reach but has great charm and seclusion.
