Uprising Beach Resort

Towels provided was only the head towel and the floor towel. No shampoo in the showers, only the conditioner. The room is clean and very spacious.

Loved the place, fascilities, food , and service was amazing!

Very close to diving

To be honest the amount charged for the room and what we actually got to see was disgusting ..the room was dirty with pillow case not even changed ,room not sweeped ,croaches flying inside the room even landed on my partner's towel,one spoon ,no plates and tea and coffee seemed to be expired ,shower inside room not working ...the shower outside ..area wasn't even cleaned with fallen coconut leaves .....waste of money people come for experience but seems like it's a regret to book please look into issues as people pay money 💰

Property currently under construction Limited food options after 9

Really friendly staff

I had stayed at the Uprising about 2 years ago and it has not changed much. Generally, the villas need new paint and overall upkeep. We stayed at the Villa which cost FJD 384 per night but what we got in return really should have cost us much less. So a few observations and tips for those who are keen to stay at Uprising: - Reception: since they are upgrading their reception area, we had to check in what looked like a tin shack. With chairs scattered around, no apparent effort put into setting up the surrounding to make it seem more presentable, it really did not feel like a reception area. - Room keys: so we asked for an additional key as there were a few of us. They couldn’t give us keys as they had run of it. - Towels: for some weird reason (only known to them) we had to carry our towels along with all our luggage to the room. - Villa: we liked the king size bed and the overall layout of the room. What we didn’t like: there are many lights not working, there are only 2 sets of mismatched cutlery in the room so if there’s more of you in the room, you will have to wait for your turn. The outdoor shower area clearly wasn’t cleaned at all and our shower wasn’t functioning well. I really wouldn’t spend the amount we did the next time. It’s better to look at other accommodation options.

Thr staff were very nice the bar was reasonably priced the outdoor shower was pretty but the water regulation was terrible burning hot or freezing cold

We arrived in Fiji August 9th. Our group basically filled the entire space which has about 24 bures/villas. Let's just say the Uprising has abdicated. It reminded me of the movie, "We Bought a Zoo". We had dropped part of our bus group off at The Pearl. Beautiful landscaping, modern buildings, clean, pristine pools, lawn furnishing, restaurants, and gift store. What a shocker when we were dropped in the back of the check-in at The Uprising, to drag our bags through the unpaved parking lot through dust and rocks. There is no bellhop. Our first view was a dried-up stream with garbage in it. The bridge over the stream and the thatched roof was in disrepair. The "lobby" was a tiny room. No greeting, no water or drinks, no leis. Of course, our rooms were not ready. We waited 3 hours in the restaurant to get to our rooms. There were no pool chairs, and the beach chairs are some formed chairs that are centuries old that leave blue chalky paint on your clothes...no thanks. We sat in the old school chairs they had at the restaurant. We were also greeted with a sign that said ”pool closed”. It was closed up until a day before we left with the excuse of low water pressure! Likewise, loungers were put out the day before we left. And we left on the 21st! When we got to the rooms, we were under the impression that we would have indoor and outdoor showers. That's what was in the description. But, no. Only outdoors. AND ONLY COLD WATER! AND LOW WATER PRESSURE! We complained for several days about no hot water and got empty promises of a fix. Our companions found a bucket and heated water in the electric kettle to get some warm water. We checked and the gas tank was empty. So, bring a robe and shower shoes, you'll need them. There is no furniture to unpack into, just a closet. No where to hang towels. But they only give you 2 bath towels and one hand towel...doesn't matter how many people are in the room. We requested face towels, and I think they went out and bought them cause mine still had the tag from the store on it. We had an ancient wooden chair and a little table on the porch. The day before we left they pulled out some new stuff. Thanks. So, bring hooks to hang your towels and hangers. There is no counter space in the bathroom. And the bed I was in was repaired with a 2 x 4 which caused me to roll out of the bed since it was uneven. Also, beware, the bed is on a platform. One of our traveling companions fell off of it going to the bathroom in the early morning! There is an electric kettle as was stated, but check for cleanliness...mine was filthy and I had to get a different one. Check iron and board also. They are ancient. The restaurant had decent food, however limited. And bring your allergy medication since you'll be dining with dogs and cats who run the open air dining area. Not to mention, the birds, that will attack your plate if left unattended. And don't forget mosquito repellant. They will eat you alive there. Be aware also that if you have a room with a magnetic key, this key opens all doors. I didn't trust the safe, so I don't really know if it works. Thankfully, all our belongings were safe. Nuff said, enjoy the pictures.

I normally don’t leave reviews, but we were so displeased with our stay. The resort has been doing renovations, and had closed the pool. There was no prior warning of this to the guests, we would’ve at least appreciated a heads up. The bathroom wasn’t clean upon arrival, and even when we asked them to clean our room, they didn’t. Poo in the toilet. Mold, no soap. When i asked for soap they gave us body soap. Blood stains on the sheets, and dirty towels. The fly screens on our windows were broken so we had to keep the room shut the entire time. In door showers dont work, and the outside ones are cold water only with low pressure. There are lots of stray cats and dogs, the cats jump up on the tables in the restaurant and eat your food when ur not looking. I even caught one eating off the serving spoon at the breakfast buffet. Dinner menu is super limited, with only very rich options and the dish changes everynight. The view is not bad on a nice day, the staff are friendly. But i would never stay here again and would recommend spending your money elsewhere!!
