Gecko's Resort

Location - pretty far from big city Nadi and Suva. But it is near to a great public beach Natadola Beach. Definitely need a rental car to move around. The car rental is pretty expensive, and the petrol is about FJD 3.00 per liter. Hotel shows aged condition all around. The setup of the toilet is quite weird as it does not have a full-sized door to keep the unpleasant odor and ventilation noise down. The only plus point is that the staff are friendly and warm. Food is average. The breakfast is not worth paying for it.

There had been a dead lizard in our room stinking bad food is very limited here and very pricey

The property is starting to show its age, but it is clean, the food is fantastic and the service by the staff and manager is exceptional.

Stayed in a one bedroom appartment. The room was basic but functional, but what let this hotel down was the paper thin walls between the rooms. There was a family next door with noisy children and we had to knock on at midnight to ask them to keep the noise down. The restaurant staff were surly, although the night security guard was really friendly.

We enjoyed our stay at Gecko's Resort. The resort is in a nice location, is well maintained, and does not look dated. The waitress in the restaurant was very nice and the pool and a room with a pool table are nearby. The gift shop had a nice selection of hand made crafts. Most importantly, our room at the resort was clean and had a working safe - something that is very important for securing valuables and passports when traveling internationally. We appreciated having access to a working safe as many of the safes in other resorts and hotels in Fiji were broken or missing. We would highly recommend Gecko's Resort to others traveling to Fiji.

Service was good. Kitchen was closed before 7.24pm when we arrived as there were hardly any guests. They managed to whip something for us. Quiet, peaceful surroundings, with a good pool. Bit secluded and not much to do or see. Rooms were spacious and clean. Good for a night or 2.

I liked the free DVD rental to watch in the room, since the property is across the Queen's Road from the beach and not so easy to go for a stroll or swim. I also liked that there ware no mosquitos in the room, since it was sprayed just after I checked in, although the toxic fume made me nautious. I didn't like the insecurity of having to write down my credit card details on a paper for the security deposit, despite having given it to *******.

Just passed through as a diner in the restaurant with the family. Clean environment, friendly staff and reasonable food. We reviewed the bill the following day to find the amount charged was higher than on the menu by about $25fj. This was brought to the attention of Geckos (via email) who said they were currently updating the website to the new prices and that we could get a payment differential credit next time we came, but did not offer a refund. Lack of transparency with pricing made this pretty expensive $175fj for 3 people for mid range dining. Daughter enjoyed playing pool though. Breakfast menu looks pretty good (if prices are correct) so might give them a second chance heading home.

friendly staff was the main bonus and was enough communal areas for us to make friends with some other families which was great so positives is it has a friendly, relaxed vibe. definitely a place to stay as a base to cut costs in Fiji however, I was disappointed on arrival as the pictures made it look more upscale/better decor than it is. also there are many older reviews which made it hard to know what we were really getting before arriving. breaksfast was great, but dinner really wasn't great and was expensive, although there is an amazing local restaurant down the road, half the price double the portions. TV didn't work - needed to put on DVDs kids pool water colour wasn't great- didn't go in I think pre COVID would have been great where you could go over to Shangri-La. now they don't let people not staying there in it detracts from gecko being a place to stay as you have to go by car to everywhere- nothing else is nearby. there were other beachfront places which were similar prices which it retrospect could have chosen but had gone with the option of going to ShangriLa the cultural night however with dance and fire show was really good. its an ok place to stay if you just want a place to sleep however I think they are rebuilding the cultural village they used to have. once this is up and running again and a few revamps I think it will be a good place to stay at for at least a few nights and definitely does make the budget stretch further in Fiji
