Great breakfast buffet with tasty croissants and omelets made to order. Beqa Adventure Dive has a free shuttle and will also pick up divers at the Pearl's docks. Rooms were clean and the staff is very friendly. Make sure to check out the local food on Monday night.

We really enjoyed our stay. We thought the staff and the food was wonderful. Loved walking along the beach and the views were beautiful.

We had a wonderful stay at the Pearl. The food was delicious, the staff friendly and helpful. You can see that areas of the hotel are in need of upgrades but that didn't bother us in the least. Would stay there again!

My husband and I stayed at the Pearl for our Honeymoon. It was a great experience. First off the staff was amazing, very helpful and knowledgeable about Fiji and its culture. I also felt very safe at the resort when you left at night they made sure they knew where you were going and your room number. The resort had daily activities that were free to […] guests which filled the day with things to do. They also have a representative available to book excursions at the resort. If you want to swim in a waterfall do the Tour of Fiji. We stayed in a Penthouse Suite which was nice, very spacious with a living area and refrigerator. They do not provide alarm clocks it is “FIJI TIME” to them. The food at both restaurants was absolutely delicious. We loved everything we ordered. The Pearl is also a short walk or 2 minute taxi ride to the Arts village which has restaurants, grocery store, bank, and liquor store. The bank is convenient because you can exchange your money for a lesser fee then the resort or airport. You NEED TO EXCHANGE money, the hotel will accept American $ but the Art’s village and gas stations do not accept American $. You need to go to the Blue’s place and get a Mahi Mahi Po Boy. It is huge can share one for two people. The Pearl was purchased by a new owner and the new plans were revealed during our stay. They should have a much larger resort with new amenities in 2 years. We plan on going back to see how it changed. I would recommend this hotel to everyone. Read more

The rooms are outdated and some hotel facilities need attention. However the location is superb and the food is good. The prices of the food and Internet are low. They could improve the activities during the week. Do not miss the Monday local show, it is really goooood.

We had such a wonderful time. Two perfect days. We went snorkeling, kayaking and swimming. We had 2 massages and ate lovely meals looking at a view of the ocean and landscape. We also saw a coconut husking demo and tasted fresh coconut and its liquid. What a treat. We would love to return. Vivian

We stayed here 2 nights to go rafting on the Navua River. We were pleasantly surprised by the enhancements/improvements they recently made. Beautiful lobby, great restaurant, and nice pool area with lush lawn and tiki torches at night. It's right on the beach, so it can get a bit windy in the evening. Rooms need a little upgrading (3 star), but are […] perfectly clean. Read more

Everything was just pure amazing. Walking into the loby, to your room and then all over the resort everything was just beautiful and well designed. The pool was awesome! I've never seen a pool that had a small swim in cave and the activites people were really nice and just wanted to be your friend. All the staff members said 'BULA' and made you feel […] like you were at home. The food was great but they have a set menu downstairs at one restaurant, luckly though the upstairs restaurant menu changed every day. I would recommend this hotel to everyone! its beautiful and just really relaxing. Read more

The hotel is sleek and modern. The staff is wonderfully friendly. Sadly, the room stunk. It was the most uncomfortable bed and flattest pillows. Our view looked over a tin roof and maint area and the balcony was 1.5 ft wide (no chairs, no table). The shower doesn't have a door so I sprayed the entire bath with water. Location is good for Pacific Harbour […] but it wasn't our favorite part of Viti Levu. It rained alot and we had nothing to do. Hotel should offer more activities like other places do. The pool was nice. Check out the volcano grotto. Happy hour is a must. The beach is soft sand and it is good swimming. Wish the sun allowed us more than 1 day on the beach :( Their boat was broken so we couldn't go snorkeling without paying for a tour. This should have been comped since their boat was broke the whole stay. Overall, if you are going to stay in PH, stay at Pearl b/c the rest didn't look that great. Just splurge for an ocean view and bring lots to do. Read more

Great resort to rest & relax, grounds & rooms were very clean & welll kept, staff was very friendly & helpful. Great location & access for activities & to Arts Village was convenient for shopping or getting away for a few hours. Just remember, wherever you travel in Fiji your on Fiji time.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The Pearl was satisfactory. We really liked its location because everything we wanted to do in Fiji was either a short walk too or a short taxi ride. The food was pretty good. The staff was exceptional and helpful in every way. The pool area was clean and activities staff was great. The rooms were nothing fancy, but clean and easy access to ocean and […] pool. I would stay at this resort again just because it was the perfect location for what we wanted to do in Fiji. Read more

The Pearl was just great. We were there in the low season so it really felt intimate. It's fanastic and the food, service, ambience, and staff are all very good There were only two complaints we had. One was the lack of a bedside light switch and the other was that it would have been nice to get some additional reading matter. I am sure lots of visitors […] leave books behind and because the Pearl is not near any town, a small lending library would have been appreciated. I would certainly go back again and would recommend it to others. Read more

The Pearl is a beautiful resort in the heart of the adventure capital of Pacific Harbour. The grounds are well maintained, many photo ops abound. Service can be spotty from the room attendant to restaurant, this is where you learn about Fiji Time. The rooms are nicely decorated and updated, bathrooms are modern/spacious. However, beds could be improved […] unless you like firmness. Restaurants have good items available as well as themes with fresh/local ingredients. I especially liked Indian night. I would recommend this property simply because of its proximity to dive sports, specifically shark dives. I would also recommend this to groups, you get less attention than as a single lady.

Fantastic staff, laid back atmosphere,and value for money. What especially suited my wife and I was the fact that during our 9 day stay (mid-August) there were very few children............ no screaming, fighting, crying, rug rats underfoot, sheer bliss. Stan NSW Australia

Apart from a delay during check-in, the hotel was very pleasant. The staff were incredible and very helpful...

I was new to the 'laze around in a Fijian resort for a week' thing, so thought I'd try the Pearl. First thing is that is ages (over 2 hours) from Nadi where we flew in, so make sure you arrange transport. The hotel staff are welcoming and helpful, There is a nice reception area. Our room (garden view) was tidy in its decor and best of all it was AIR […] CONDITIONED! The bathroom was good, but somehow the floor gets very wet every time you shower. Bed was adequately comfy. Room service was excellent. The resort itself has its own sandy beach, as well as a nice pool (with poolside bar). The restaurant was excellent, as was the complementary breakfast. Only problem I had was that after a few days, the cost of the bar and the excellent restaurant (which seemed to set its prices based on what it would cost in an Australian restaurant) added up. Not only that, there weren't a lot of activities at the resort (without paying Australian sized prices), and it did seem a bit quiet at the time we were there. There is a village just outside the resort though, and it has restaurants and shops of its own - good enough for us. It is about a 45min bus ride from Suva, but buses seem regular enough. Overall it was a comfortable place to stay, but either have activities planned, or be prepared to fork out for them. Read more

Loved our stay at The Pearl, staff, resort, beach, perfect - we asked for Paradise we got Paradise!

It was an enjoyable experience. The only downside was a lack of air conditioning in public areas eg restaurants, etc

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Great Hotel, Friendly Staff. Was here for business and only there for evenings, but if you have to be working away from home and don't mind the drive, its better to stay somewhere that feels like a resort!

Genuine Expedia guest review

Beautiful location! Beautiful place. The staff were so pleasant and very welcoming. Room was clean and air conditioned and very comfortable. Service was 10/10. Food was amazing! Lots of activities to take part in within the hotel and great involvement from the staff; eg. volleyball game - guests vs the staff. It was nice to be in a location away from […] the hustle and bustle but not so secluded that you could walk to the nearby village for a little bit of shopping. Would probably choose to go in a different month however as there wasn't much sunshine. Still beautiful nonetheless. :) Read more

Lovely resort and the people were very friendly. The resort is situated right on the beach and has a beautiful outlook and breath taking sunsets. Nothing was too much trouble. Had a problem with the water 2 times for short periods but this didn't put us out too much. Staff supplied water to our rooms if we wanted it. Apparently the water gets cut off […] sometimes. Food was excellent and the happy hour well attended by us most afternoons. Very easy to book tours at reception. Our only bad experience was going out on a budget tour when the swell was too big so we didn't get to do the things we paid for like fishing and snorkelling. Not a reflection on the resort though. Taxi drivers were friendly and very accommodating especially driving to and from the airport which is 2 1/2 to 3 hours from the resort. Would recommend the local village tour (Galoa) and the arts village tour at Pacific Harbour, both can be booked through the resort. The resort has a large media room which would be good for families although they could use a few more DVDs to choose from. The day spa has plenty for packages which we used on our last day to finish off our Fiji experience. Would definately recommend the Pearl. Read more

Extremely friendly staff who always happy to help and respond to requests. Relaxing atmosphere in a beautiful location, lots to do or no effort required depending on mood. The lobby made an incredible first impression with special touches such as fresh flowers and candles, which was then sustained throughout our visit. The dining options were varied […] and of a high quality. We ate and drank extremely well. Within walking distance to amenities such as a post office, supermarket, souvenir shops and restaurant was a bonus. The accompanying golf course is worth a visit, as is the media room which can be privately reserved. At the Pearl we felt and were treated like special guests in their home. Read more

We stayed 6 nights and enjoyed ourselves. Room was clean and comfortable. Small balcony only on our 3rd floor ocean view room. Lower 2 floors have wider balcony/patio and furniture. View and sound of the ocean was worth the extra cost. Grounds and pool area beautiful. Beach was good for a long walk and for swimming. Food was excellent. Staff friendly […] and helpful. Happy hour a must. Spa and tour desk also good quality. 10 minute walk to pacific harbour village. Only 2 minor issues were some communication problems with front office e.g messages not passed on to us. And the room towels...thin and a tad grey, they really need replacing but they did the job. Pool towels total opposite and brand new. Read more

The locals were amazing very friendly and accepting. Unfortunately the same couldn't be said for the staff at the hotel. I found a few times I approached the staff mainly ladies would often speak in Fijian and then stand there and laugh whilst I waited for them to get back to me. This made me feel very uncomfortable and not wanting to approach them […] to ask for anything. Being younger than the other guests travelling with my best friend I found it difficult. The quality of the room when it was clean everyday way not of any standard I'd expect at 4 star. Most days we weren't event given clean towels and had to go and ask for some. Did not see any traditional Fijian dancer which was very disappointing. Overall would not return to the resourt. Read more

The Pearl is a beautiful resort and majority of the staff are friendly, knowledgeable and helpful, however the rooms are a little disappointing, the walls are dirty, the sheets had stains on them, there was mould in the bathroom, cracks in the bed, the mirror was rusting, the bed was hard and the pillows were awful, so bad that my partner and I went […] into Suva to buy new ones. We asked for 3 wake up calls and only got 1, luckily we didnt miss any of our tours. The location is perfect, 3 hrs out of Nadi, so book a transfer but all the attractions and tours are nearby. The resort food is tasty and not too overpriced, happy hour is the best time to get drinks. The resort has daily activities which are great fun and can help the day go by. If you can look past the outdated rooms, the resort is really beautiful and all the staff try their hardest to make your stay amazing and if you have a really great experience dont be afraid to tip your waiter/waitress as they dont earn much and it goes a long way Read more

It was a lovely place to stay, the staff were kind, helpful and friendly. There wasn't an issue the entire time we were there. It definately caters for both loved up couples on a romantic getaway and families. There was something for everyone.

The grounds of the resort were lovely, the staff were very friendly and it had a really nice atmosphere. The rooms were average but they were a good size you could move around without falling over you luggage. Downfall was it wasn't one of the main hotels for tour pick ups so you needed to do a little extract travelling. Overall i would recommend this […] resort to others, it was a wonderful stay though the room service could use some brushing up on, we went 2 days without towels, and waited an hour for our room service meal. I would rate this as more of a 4 star resort but it was still very pleasant. Read more

The rooms were dirty, the staff was unfriendly, it's expensive and the overall condition of the resort is bad.

This Hotel was suppose to be 4 star, it certainly isn't.It is very tired and in need of an update. However the grounds are very pleasent. Lack of sun bed around the pool area. 21/2 hour be road to the resort. No evening entertain at all especially over xmas and new year.

we were staying in Fiji as our son was playing in a hockey tournament in Suva, we chose The Pearl from recommendations of friends, and i must say it was a lovely place to stay. staff were very helpful and would do anything to help you, although you had to be patient when it came to room cleaning which was done anytime between 9 and 2. the whole resort […] was always so clean and tidy. we were there when Cyclone Evan hit and the staff were very professional in the way they prepared for it and then carried on with mostly regular activities to keep us occupied. after it passed they had the resort back to looking normal within half a day. when the water was not working they gave out endless bottles of water to help for both drink9ing and showering. i also enjoyed a massage and facial on the day of the cyclone which was quite relaxing you do need to be mindful of the term Fiji time as they are very laid back and easy going. we enjoyed our stay however would recommend a stay of say 7-10 days would be adequate, Read more

It's such a shame, a 4.5 star hotel with rooms on par with a 3 star hotel. The friendly and helpful staff, the amazing food at the restaurants, the relaxing and tranquil location, the outside surrounds all exceptionally well presented and maintained which make up the positives. The disappointment came when we entered the room. Minimalistic decor and […] furniture, rock solid bed with dirty sheets on arrival and a ocean view with blocked by a garden bed. The staff were extremely helpful and quickly replaced the sheets and worked towards a room change halfway through our stay. Overall it was a good experience but there were a few sleepless nights with the bed. I was informed that they are starting an expansion and refurbish of the resort starting earlier next year to be completed in 2014, which is when I might book a return trip to the resort....

The staff are excellent and very attentive. The hotel would drinkingbenefit from more water fountains and in the evening times for thr bar to stay open later than 10pm. Also music at the bar would be nice in the evening

Resort is lovely. Staff are wonderful. Activities at the hotel all day & also others close by. There is a variety of consistently good food. Location is wonderful. The rooms could do with an update, but are still clean & comfortable.

we had a wonderful time.. fantastic and freindly staff making you feel at home. perfect beach location, spa and pool. wonderful gym right at the beach.. bit dated and beds VERY uncomfortable. If they would have had a better mattress I would have given 5 stars as we were thoroughly happy and relaxed!

My partner and I stayed at this hotel for a week. It was great. The food was amazing, especially the mud crab. The staff even gave me a run down on how to eat it as I hadnt had it before. The activities in the hotel are fun and get people involved. The hotel is in great condition and the pool and facilities are amazing. Happy Hour every day is definitely […] a must. The only problem is that it is a 3 hour drive from Nadi airport, which can seem very long. We had an early flight and so had to check out at 4am. Not fun, especially after relaxing all week. I would recommend this hotel for couples and families. There was so kids staying but didnt affect how relaxing the atmosphere was. Read more

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I have just returned from a 7 night stay at The Pearl with my Husband and we had a fantastic time. The hotel itself is a 2.5 hour taxi ride from Nadi airport which is quite a long journey when you've just spent 4 hours on a plane but it's worth it when you get there. The area is quite remote but you can book to go on any number of excursions and providing […] you aren't there for an extended period of time this shouldn't be a problem. The hotel provides activities throughout the day to keep you entertained and the hotel staff are just brilliant - so friendly and willing to help. Theme nights were held in the restaurants most evenings and the food was delicious. There are loungers and hammocks around the pool and whilst they were nearly all taken, we didn't have any real problems finding somewhere to sit. We did visit in the off season though and I imagine that when the hotel is to capacity, there could be a few problems. The beach was lovely but the sea is very murky due to the sand in this area so not an area for snorkelling and when I did snorkelling excursions, much of the coral was dead which was disappointing. Overall, I really enjoyed myself and would recommend this hotel to friends but only for 5-7 day trips. Read more

Fantastic relaxing holiday choice even with the weather not cooperating. Staff are excellent as are the surroundings. A great place to just relax with good food and drinks but there are plenty of activities offered as well. Beautiful beach for long walks and very private. Being the mainland it is more open to the sea breeze and more rainy days but it's […] so warm you really don't mind. It is quite a drive from Nadi airport about 3-3.5 hours depending on what transport you chose, but well worth it. Try and get your return flight in the afternoon to give you options. Read more

Can't find the words to explain how INCREDIBLE the staff is, they are very nice people, fun, humble, helpfull (like most of fijians) and always greeting you with a warm BULA (which means hello)... The hotel is in the PACIFIC HARBOUR, 3 hours away from the NADI airport and 1 hour away from the capital SUVA (by bus)... you can take the local bus (16 fijian […] dollars), all have air-con. Eventhough is 3 hours away from the airport it's totally wortht it: you are close to the city and pretty much everything in that part of the island. The hotel had daily activities: kayaking in the river next to the hotel, volleyball, soccer, fishing in the river, balloon dance at night, frog competitions, etc The food in the hotel's restaurants is very good. The menu includes not only a few local dishes but also pasta, burguers, chips, sea food, and quite a few desserts. And there's always live music. (local music). And the prices are not much expensive than in the local restaurants (Fiji is very cheap). JET SKIING and WHITE WATER RAFTING is totally recomended. But don't worry about it, there's a lady in the hotel which helps you with the activities you may want to do. There's a village (ARTs VILLAGE) 10 minutes walking from the hotel where you can find restaurants, a supermarket, pubs, a post office,etc And don't worry about doctors, there's am EXCELLENT one in the Arts Village. She's a very nice lady which will take care of you if you :) I had a wonderful time in FIJI and would love to come back! Read more

The service was wonderful, the staff were so attentive and friendly. There was lots to do and sadly the weather packed it in for the middle of the trip so we spent time inside, staff provided games and wet weather things to do which was really considerate. The spa was great, reasonably priced and gave great massages. We went fishing with free dive Fiji, […] it was a great trip, we caught 4 fish and the kitchen cooked a mackerel up for us for dinner! Fishing was awesome, jäger and ratu provided homemade lunch and baking, drinks, good laughs and a good fishing spot. The transfers are pretty steep, but it's a 2-2.5hr ride from nadi (or about 40 mins from Suva) so you can see why. The activities desk was great, Kathy was so helpful and helped us arrange fishing and a rental car for a day witha very reasonable rate. The food was delicious, the breakfast was huge, with Danishes, muffins, toast, pancakes, eggs, sausages, cereal, fruit etc etc! Try the desserts, they are amazing. One critique was our bed was quite old, and pillows a bit hard, not the height of comfort but that was the only problem and we weren't really too bothered by it. Read more

Being very picky, this was a great hotel, Only two complaints, shower floor not sloped enough to take water away so it went throughout the bathroom and water flowed out into the hallway everytime we used it, not a biggie though. 2nd was mayb the prices were abit steep for my liking, cocktails were $20 as opposed to $10 down the road, main meal in top […] restaurant average of $40 and were just a little small in portions but still delicious food, (probably what to expect from a 4# hotel) Overall, staff were lovely, helpfull, fun, cheery, professional and probably need a pay rise for their efforts! Hotel condition was near perfect, occasional crack in wall but otherwise was great looking place. I would recommend and would return myself. Read more

The hotel is a bit smaller than it appears on some websites. Only has one pool and two restaurants which cook for multiple areas, though the food was always a very high standard. Staff are absolutely lovely and very accomodating. The day spa facilities are exceptional and i definitely recommend a massage to everyone! Very family friendly hotel. The […] hotel has a list of activities every day like volleyball or kayaking or crab races and every guest has a daily newsletter put in their room which was very helpful. Located only 50kms fromm Suva and on a main road made it very easy to catch buses to explore.
