Uprising Beach Resort

OVERALL REASONABLE STAY

This is true and beautiful Fiji. We stayed here ten years ago and couldn’t wait to get back. Our own bure was spacious and immaculate. We have never experienced such a warm and welcoming staff in all of our travels. The place is like staying in a beautiful Fijian village with coconut palms, a great swimming pool, dining room, bar, and beautiful beach with a view of the Beqa island.

The staff were incredibly nice and joyful especially the bar and restaurant staff. The grounds were upkept nicely, and the gardens were beautiful. The restaurant food was always really yum and reasonably priced compared to other resorts and hotels. The only let down was the cleanliness, the bathrooms in the restaurant area were not cleaned the entire time I stayed, and the dormitory I stayed in for half of my stay was very dirty with lots of bugs dead on all the beds. The dormitory also only had fans but out of the four, one was broken, and majority of the charging points were broken. But thankfully I visited in low season and basically had the entire place to myself so was able to move around and it wasn't too hot. Due to the cheap price, good location for shark diving and lovely staff, I would still definitely stay here again.

I stayed at Uprising with a friend for 6 nights. The villa we shared was clean and reasonably well kept, as were the pool, bar area and grounds. The villa however had no towels in the room. They had to be check out and in again at reception. There were no plates or cutlery in the kitchen except for making tea. The aircon didn’t really cool the room down to temperature and we were both quite hot at night. Our stay included breakfast which was probably the most disappointing part of our stay. The buffet on the first day was all but empty when we got there and the selection over the week overall was very poor. They also did not cater for my dietary requirements of gluten and dairy free (which I found difficult everywhere we went in Fiji).

The staff were great but waited 30 mins for breakfast while staff was busy talking.even though I could see that the chef was waiting for waitress to deliver my breakfast..I had to go and pick my breakfast, and then the waitress realuze she firgot my coffee also.....Pathetic service The staff

Wonderful old resort! Staff were all great! So friendly and helpful! The swimming pool was a nice temperature and the large shallow area was perfect for our two year old to play safely. Our burr was comfortable with the breeze wafting through the screened windows. I wish there had been hot water for showers.

Upon check in we were handed stained thin rag like two towels.bugs and bug poop on sheets. I do not recommend this place.

The staff were fabulous. The food could have been a bit more adventurous, with more fruit ie banana's and paw paw. We had a terrific stay and hopefully we will return.

Excellent place to stay for this price point. We loved the rooms, food was good, and the staff were amazing and went above and beyond.

Nice location on the beach and friendly staff
