This is our second trip to the Outrigger, and it was once again really lovely.
Most of the things I didnt like had to do with the excessive prices and fees that guests are charged.

Things I liked
*Facilities and rooms are well-maintained, modern and clean
*Spacious room overlooking the ocean, with all the amenities you need (fridge, hair dryer, nice-sized bathroom, safe)
*Afternoon snack & drink each day
*Lots of activities for adults and kids (particularly enjoyed free use of snorkels)
*4-5 restaurants to choose from (we liked the Sundowner Bar & Grill the most)
*Bebe Spa experience was nice (the view is amazing up there)
*Love that there is an Adults only pool and restaurant
*Free wi-fi
*Detailed information about amenities and services available through an app
*Ability to track room bill through your TV
*Channel ABC Australia was available (good for AFL fans)

Things I didnt like
*No options to purchase fruit or healthy snacks, which is a shame given that there are no shops near the resort.
*No Fijian food on the menus
*3% surcharge for payment with a credit card is insane when youre spending thousands on your room bill or accommodation payment
*10FJD fee and 900 FJD max withdrawal using ATM
*Hotel transfer cost is high, around 160 AUD (can get for 100 AUD elsewhere)
*7.50 FJD for a 1 litre bottle of water (they only give you 1 complimentary bottle per day)
*Although the views and the general experience at Bebe Spa were nice, the massage itself was pretty average

We had a lovely stay at OUTRIGGER Fiji Beach Resort. The resort has a very authentic Fijian feel, however the rooms are a bit outdated and could use some updating. The main issue we experienced was in the bathroom — floating floors were used, and water went everywhere after every shower, meaning we had to clean up each time.

That said, the outdoor pool area more than made up for it. The pool, slide and inflatable activities were a huge hit with our kids — we spent most of our days there. There were also plenty of activities available for both adults and children, which made it a great family destination.

The resort itself is very large and beautiful, though some areas would benefit from a bit of sprucing up overall. The food was incredible. Especially the seafood-- it was absolutely AMAZING — some of the best seafood I’ve ever had.

Most importantly, the staff were absolutely beautiful. The service was impeccable — everyone was genuinely lovely, happy, and welcoming, which truly made our stay special.

Overall, we highly recommend this resort, particularly for families. With some updates to the rooms, it would be exceptional.
