ゲッコーズ リゾート(Gecko's Resort)

Stayed in a one bedroom appartment. The room was basic but functional, but what let this hotel down was the paper thin walls between the rooms. There was a family next door with noisy children and we had to knock on at midnight to ask them to keep the noise down. The restaurant staff were surly, although the night security guard was really friendly.

We enjoyed our stay at Gecko's Resort. The resort is in a nice location, is well maintained, and does not look dated. The waitress in the restaurant was very nice and the pool and a room with a pool table are nearby. The gift shop had a nice selection of hand made crafts. Most importantly, our room at the resort was clean and had a working safe - something that is very important for securing valuables and passports when traveling internationally. We appreciated having access to a working safe as many of the safes in other resorts and hotels in Fiji were broken or missing. We would highly recommend Gecko's Resort to others traveling to Fiji.

Service was good. Kitchen was closed before 7.24pm when we arrived as there were hardly any guests. They managed to whip something for us. Quiet, peaceful surroundings, with a good pool. Bit secluded and not much to do or see. Rooms were spacious and clean. Good for a night or 2.

I liked the free DVD rental to watch in the room, since the property is across the Queen's Road from the beach and not so easy to go for a stroll or swim. I also liked that there ware no mosquitos in the room, since it was sprayed just after I checked in, although the toxic fume made me nautious. I didn't like the insecurity of having to write down my credit card details on a paper for the security deposit, despite having given it to *******.

Just passed through as a diner in the restaurant with the family. Clean environment, friendly staff and reasonable food. We reviewed the bill the following day to find the amount charged was higher than on the menu by about $25fj. This was brought to the attention of Geckos (via email) who said they were currently updating the website to the new prices and that we could get a payment differential credit next time we came, but did not offer a refund. Lack of transparency with pricing made this pretty expensive $175fj for 3 people for mid range dining. Daughter enjoyed playing pool though. Breakfast menu looks pretty good (if prices are correct) so might give them a second chance heading home.

Our family of ten spent a week on Plantation Island Resort. Five had to go back to OZ, so the other five moved to Geckos Resort on the main island for four nights. Well named, because at night we were well entertained watching geckos successfully stalk the insects that were attracted by the lights. The Resort is so clean, it nearly squeaked. Immaculate gardens, lawns, outdoor settings. The Resort is nestled in a space surrounded by high hills which are covered in dense tropical vegetation. Bit of a walk to the sea - we didn't go. On the lawn just outside our rooms was the Rest Bure. A generous space with a pitched roof, tiled floor, no walls. Furnished with chairs and a table. Quite delightful for reading, drinking coffee etc. Food: Excellent. Huge meals. On the last night, I asked which meals were small serves. Waitress suggested that I order off the childrens' menu. Problem solved. I hadn't been able to finish any meals. Accommodation: Set out like a single level Australian motel. Our rooms were clean, spacious, equipped with hair dryer, shampoo, conditioner, soap, fridge, tea and coffee making facilities - with real milk, bottle of water on arrival. We had to buy more bottled water, as they said they couldn't provide filtered water, and did suggest that we should avoid the tap water. Staff also suggested that we avoid the street food to minimise the risk of a tummy upset. Rooms cooled with a wall unit. Very effective. Our two rooms were interconnected. Entertainment: Three nights a week, a visiting troupe of performers come and dance, and twirl fire sticks. People book from other resorts. The first night the staff had over 100 people booked for meals. The performers engaged the audience and got them up on stage. We saw a second performance, - less visitors this time. DVDs to borrow. Player and screen in our rooms. There was a TV room - didn't try it. Bikes to hire, for which you pay a refundable deposit . A rather sad playground, two pools, a pool table, a well stocked boutique, a spa where I had a Pedicure, - very different to home, but just as effective ! Day 1 was spent in a pool, Day 2 was spent fishing - 7 yr old caught his first fish, Son hooked a marlin ( identified by crew) but before he got it to the boat the hook broke !! Day 3 we hired a van to take us to a Wildlife park. We were greeted by a lady who presented us with a banded Iguana called Kevin, and a Fijian snake ( Boa Constrictor) called Wendy. There were two rescued Red Breasted Musk Parrots - who weren't quite as friendly as Kevin and Wendy. The Musk parrots have similar markings to the Australian King Parrot, but the Musk Parrot is a burgundy red. We walked through displays of shells, coral, tropical fish, Iguanas, and open aviaries of birds. There was a water playground designed for small children. A cafe where we bought a good quality pizza and coffee. The family spent a lot of time on a giant water slide. We were well occupied from 10am to

We stayed at Gecko's for a two night stop over and had a great time. The room was big, clean and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful and went out of their way to learn all the guests' names. The food at the restaurant was good and there were other options nearby for variety. It is a lovely walk to a nearby beach, which we had all to ourselves. The hotel was very good value for money.

I stayed at Geckos for a week - the Staff and the food 10/10 This was my first time at Geckos, the rooms and grounds were very clean - the negatives, the cleaning staff were very late doing the rooms, I came back from a tour at 6.00pm and they were still in my room. Must have been different ones on my last two days ( one was Fijian holiday) as these were efficient and the rooms were done before lunch. It would be nice to have some lace/netting over the sliding door as there was no privacy if the curtains were open. When closed, it was dark. Another regular visitor said they had a lovely cultural village attached- this a been let go and run down. You cannot walk to the beach, apparently customers were able to walk across the road to the shangri la and use their facilities and beach - but no more. Geckos have a wonderful fire show and dance three times a week. Customers from the Shangri La come over for meals and the show. (But Gecko customers can’t go to the Shangri La) I took a taxi to the beach and it cost me $70 return Fiji .lovely resort for a few days- then maybe another one on the beach.
