WorldMark Denarau Island Review
Lucy & Andy's review
A beautiful resort run on "Fiji time"
Rating:
We are not usually 5 star resort travellers, we managed to score a week at this hotel through a family member's Time Share agreement. For that reason the whole week only cost us a few hundred dollars. I'm sure the regular cost would be vastly more expensive than this. We stayed in a beautiful fully self contained villa overlooking the ocean. And when I say fully self contained...it had everything! A blender and all! When you're used to scratched electric fry pans at a backpackers, this was heaven in comparison. Beautiful rooms, relatively tastefully decorated ("beachy" with the baskets of shells and wicker chairs, you know the style). Comfy beds, lovely staff, free bicycles/board games/bus/entertainment. The largest pool in the southern hemisphere (apparently) was conveniently located and had a swim up bar. This is nice until you start thinking about it a little too much...drinking too much in a pool can have many negatives! It was always clean and quiet though.
The "Island" of Denauru is more of a chunk of the coast with a canal cutting it off from the mainland. The beaches aren't really swimming beaches, dark silty sand and the water isn't postcard blue but it's a beautiful spot for sunset walks and pretty much always deserted. If you want "postcard" islands do some day trips, Mala Mala Island was beautiful!
I loved Fiji and I loved this place, even if I would never be able to afford it without a discount offer!
