Hotel Bulabard

Pros are lovely staff, good service and strong WiFi. The location is directly on a beach, and although the beach itself is not very nice, it offers great sunsets. My room was basic with a small fridge, fan and good air con. Only cold water shower. The view was two big water tanks just outside both windows. My room was on the ground floor which is the corridor from the entrance to the bar so the main issue I had with this place was the constant noise. There was loud music thumping till 11pm with patrons walking past noisily after this. My door was directly opposite the kitchen servery which meant I heard all the cooking, staff calling out to each other and each meal ticket printed and ringing of the bell to say meals were ready till 11pm. Then more noise till well after midnight as the kitchen was scrubbed and bins emptied, then again from 6.30am when breakfast started. If you stay here, don’t accept a ground floor room. Especially room 119 which is a terrible room and one of the worst I’ve stayed in

Upon arrival, we were informed that the room we had booked via Expedia was unavailable and that we would be moved to alternative accommodation. This was located just around the corner, accessible via a short drive in the property’s transport. Instead of the ‘deluxe queen bedroom’ we had reserved, we were given a studio apartment. The standard of the accommodation was rather average; the room was in need of refurbishment and felt a little rough around the edges. Clean sheets ensured a satisfactory night’s rest. We had chosen this property primarily for its cost, so we were not expecting luxury, but as we were not given the room we had booked, we would not choose to stay here again.

The picture of the hotel room looks nothing like what we book. There was cockroaches in the bathroom and it was noisy as we were located opposite the kitchen. At 5.30am when staff come in to work, they were talking in the corridor and it was not sound proof.

A lovely start to our Fiji holiday. A couple of nights at the BulaBard with amazing ocean views over the pool and outside dining was divine. (Unfortunately the pool was closed as it needed a really good clean, that was disappointing!) Great eating options all along the beach, a handy supermarket for little things and just a great introduction the the Fiji vibe. It is a bit rundown and could do with a makeover, but it was clean and comfortable for the price we paid.

Bed sheets where old and had black spots all over them shower had no door

Staff is fantastic and went out of their way to make perfect every aspect of our stay.

Amazing view of the beach. My sister and I fell in love with Wailoaloa Beach. There’s no seaweed, great shells, and a great natural palm tree grove nearby. We stayed a week and loved the place. The staff were super nice and the resort was great. The sunset view from the beach can’t be beat. The staff helped us arrange every trip we made, and the food and drinks were all safe. You can freely travel to the nearby hotels, so you can watch a show or two every night. We had the closest room to the beach and back patio and were able to sleep soundly despite the partying. We were in the room opposite the kitchen and were even able to sleep through that most nights. They definitely ensured that my sister and I’s vacation which we had been dreaming since we were kids was a dream come true. 5 stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We weren't met at the airport despite having arranged a pick up from the Hotel so we caught a taxi (that turned out to be cheaper anyway). The room was an odd configuration of 4 king size beds and two small ensuites with a shower and toilet each back to back. The toilets didn't smell good. It was a noisy area not improved by loud music from the restaurant that went on until 11pm each night. When the music went off the staff continued to party. And then when all the human sounds had stopped the air-conditioning units for every room were located on the wall outside our room and hummed loudly all night. Luckily we had ear plugs. We weren't given enough towels or a bathmat or hand towels and had to request these. There was lots of space in the room but nowhere to hang anything (like towels). Even the wardrobe didn't even have a bar, let alone any hangers! It was a room with things you didn't really need and missing some of the standard things you would expect. Our room was FJD 500 per night which seemed like a lot for what it was. Restaurant was also pricey and basic so we ate elsewhere. The people were lovely though! :-)

Location was good, was close to shops, cycle hire, restaurants and good to transport routes. Accomodation had issues though. We only got hot water 2 of 9 days; apartment was not serviced when requested a few times; pool pump and other guests disturbed sleep; tv was only functional on youtube.

Last minute bookings but Very friendly staff. My son love the pool and beach accessibility. Will definitely book again
