Spa Hotels in Mamanuca Islands

I loved my stay at Serenity. I wish I had stayed more than one night. From the pick-up the staff were super friendly and welcoming. I had a little bungalow at the beach front and couldn't believe how much luxury and tidyness is possible just three steps away from the ocean. I hope to be back, and soon!

As we left Auckland and boarded our Fiji Airways flights (which was great by the way) to Fiji they announced over the tannoy "your journey to paradise begins..." and do you know what, they really weren't wrong. The flight was excellent, our flight arrived on time but despite a delay getting through customs, security and luggage pick-up our driver from the hotel, Kesho, was waiting for us. And that's where our experience really began with The Fiji Orchard. We had a very comfortable drive to the hotel, a transfer of about 35 to 40 minutes in the traffic, in a very comfortable and spacious almost new Toyota Land cruiser. What we didn't realise was that the Fiji Orchid was once the holiday home of Raymond Burr, star of Perry Mason and Ironside, programmes from the 1960s & 1970s. Raymond Burr loved orchids just as much as he loved Fiji, hence the name of the hotel and the restaurant, Raymond's. Upon our arrival at the hotel, 4 or 5 members of staff were waiting to greet us. This was really special, including Ledge who checked us in, a really straight forward, relaxing and easy experience. Everyone was so very happy, in fact everyone that we met was so happy. We felt really welcome from the moment that we arrived. We've read reviews from guests who have criticised the welcome and the check-in process, which is ridiculous, it was lovely. Our bags were taken to our bure whilst we finished our welcome drinks, before we were walked to our bure. There are only 6 bures, so a maximum of twelve guests. The bures are well spread out, each one backs onto its own little bit of the rain forest. Our bure was lovely, it was very clean and spacious. The main area is separated into two areas by curtains, the bedroom and lounge with seating. There's a small desk and chair. Lying in bed late at night listening to the rain was so relaxing.

The Island experience was amazing! Shows the real Fiji and the warmth of the people and culture. We had a beautifully renovated room with modern furniture and fixtures, this was amazing to come back to after a day of swimming and snorkling in the amazingly clean and clear water. We went snorkling and fish feeding in the day and enjoyed some cocktails in the evening after a great sunset. Could not ask for a more relaxing holiday on Beachcomber.

beautiful grounds, clear water, great location. the staff are the most amazing, warm, welcoming, genuine people and we felt really looked after. they went above and beyond to make sure we felt like family. I will definitely be back.

Excellent location. Easy to get there with ferry and golfcars. Although the place is old, the renovation has been done well. Excellent restaurant with good breakfast and a good menu for the dinner. Several nice activities like snorkeling.
