This place is awesome.....the friendliness of ALL the staff made us feel like home in the first few hours. This, in hindsight, was the highlight of our stay there!! They were so helpful, knew you by name and always had a huge "bula" on meeting. This resort is small but not cramped with plenty of room between bures. You will get to know other guests but not feel like you are living on their doorstep! It is certainly NOT a 5 star resort with all the mod cons so if this is what you like, it is not for you. The bures are a true Fijian experience with breathtaking views over the ocean and islands. They are very clean and and rustic and have bar fridge, hair dryer and aircon if required (We were not expecting this!). The resort is on a tidal flat but is this did not distract from the views. Free resort activities include, snorkelling daily, kayaking and coconut tree climbing demo (including fresh coconut to eat after!!!). The resort food is excellent and JB's do a fantastic pizza with awesome sunset views. It is very close to town so a quick trip to Nadi is only a quick taxi ride away. (F$8 one way to town). There are plenty of small supermarkets and bottleshops not far from the resort and plenty of cab drivers that will take you there for about F$10 return. In summary, we stayed for 5 nights and then moved to an expensive island for our last night........regretfully!!! This place is a MUST stay and we will certainly be back!

The staff at the Sonaisali are all very helpful, friendly & beautiful people. The Customer Care Manager Margarieta goes above & beyond. I have never stayed at a place where you are made to feel like family it was really lovely. The actual resort is very nice, it is a resort so you do pay resort prices. I would suggest a couple of days here then a couple of days at another venue on one of the Islands or at Denaura. Short taxt ride to Airport & Nadi but the taxi's outside the hotel are the hotel taxi's & are on fixed rates - don't get return rides as you are better off getting a taxi on a meter in town. Overall the resort was an absolute pleasure to stay at.

We had a great time at Nadi Bay Resort. The whole place was clean, comfortable, and in very pleasant surroundings. Food was awesome and all staff very friendly. Other than the occasional flight takeoff and landing, as its not far from the end of Nadi airport, it wasnt so bad... more of a talking point. Pools and grounds were clean. No unwanted nighttime visitors (bugs) to the bedrooms. Someone suggested possible bed bugs there, but no sign whatsoever. Might have been that person got nipped by the sea lice around at the time. We had trouble with these after a trip to the islands. Even the complimentary mossie spray in the evenings made the holiday more pleasant. Take the 200m walk to Sitar Restaurant at the corner, well worth it.
