The Fiji Orchid

The highlight of my visit to Fiji is my stay at The Fiji Orchid. The small size and amazing staff made it a perfect place for me to wind down after an active holiday. The staff is very attentive and made the experience at this well maintained and beautiful property that much better. The kitchen staff made very tasty and varied Fijian food made with locally sourced ingredients. Thank you to the whole team for this authentic experience!

My wife and I stayed four nights and loved it. The gardens are just magnificent and really well curated. Unfortunately, the orchids that give the resort its name were "resting" when we were there; apparently the peak flowering time is August. We ate at the hotel every night and that was a big part of the experience. The nightly offering at Raymond's is worth staying in for as the menu changes every night and the talented chef makes excellent use of locally sourced ingredients including the freshest fish we've had in a while. The prices (entrees 28-30 FJD and mains 48-50 FJD) are higher than the usual Lautoka pizza and burger options (which you'd have to arrange transport to get to) but are very reasonable once converted to AUD/NZD and VFM. The hotel provides an inclusive shuttle to and from the airport and excursions or simple trips into Lautoka can be arranged at a nominal fee. The bure contained everything we wanted and was restocked with bottled water every day. And we couldn't speak more highly of the staff, who go above and beyond to ensure you feel welcome.
