We enjoyed our time at the Outrigger thoroughly, room was lovely, great view. Clean. Staff are soo friendly, food options were great. Excellent grounds, activities on offer were good and fun. We were so sad to leave!
Overall excellent resort. Would like to have seen more pool activities in the afternoon for families.
Great facilities and very family friendly. We got a great deal so was good value for money. Bebe spa was a-mazing and the view was spectacular.
The most incredible hospitality. We had an amazing trip and are already planning our next stay
The location the staff and the resort was absolutely amazing we will definitely be coming back
The staff and location of the resort were outstanding the staff at the activities were fantastic it really made my sons holiday we will definitely be coming back
We loved our holiday the resort is well set up and people are so friendly. The pool was huge, service great and the kids club was excellent our kids loved it in there.
The rooms we had were a little dated but it didn't matter because we were never in there.
We had a great time as a family, boys loved all the activities that were on offer and were on the go the whole time.
Great stay at Outrigger - highly recommend Beachfront Bure for a relaxing holiday experience, a few steps from Bure to beach. Resort is a little dated however general facilities and service was great. Highly recommend MeiMei nanny service and kids club. Adults only pool for relaxing without kids was great. Not a lot of options close by resort to visit (dining, other experiences) but resort has a lot of activities and is well connected with services for day trips etc
A very relaxing place to take kids, parents and grandparents. Good facilities, plenty to do at the resort with a warm and attentive staff to help the day along. The children enjoyed the pool, beach at high tide and the kids club. Some opportunities for activities outside the resort, but not many. However, the facilities inside the resort offered plenty of variety. Our bures worked well in terms of space and comfort and the butler service was a very nice touch.
Beautiful surroundings and amazing service. Dining, Talai and general staff was amazing. Just sit back and relax, have a cocktails or a few and enjoy being taken care of. May I recommend Bebe Spa where the ladies are excellent and the views to die for.
We loved our first time to Fiji and the Outrigger Resort. The nanny service and kids club is a must. Worked out a great holiday for both us and the kids.
Thank you to the wonderful staff at The Outrigger!!! This is a fantastic resort and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
We loved the Outrigger so much we'll be returning next year! All the staff are so amazing, food and drinks are good and facilities are top notch.
Thank you Travel online we enjoyed a family holiday rest and recovery. The kids really enjoyed the resort and pools. The 'kids eat free' was great and a there was a good selection of foods all pretty healthy for the kids. The main food at the restaurants was good but expensive however, we did enjoy the IVI fine dining one night. The Mei Mei was a great service which Outrigger provided and we used with our 8 month old - she was so lovely with him. All in all a great place to get some sun and rest.
Kids loved the pool and kids club. Good choice for meals.
Would highly recommend Outrigger to families. We stayed in an Ocean Breeze Bure. A wonderful relaxing holiday.
The staff are brilliant. Beautiful setting, ammenities and buildings. Heaps for kids to do (kids club). Coral reef (snorkelling, kayaking, etc). Great pool. Climate was great (late July). Even when at capacity - was still comfortable.
We had an excellent time . We were made to feel welcome as soon as we arrived . Our room location was excellent ! Right on the beach and close to the activities centre and pool . My kids had a ball and the Fiji guys working in the activities centre were brilliant !! They knew most kids name by heart and entertained the kids daily with sporting activities , egg throwing . Loads of stuff !! Can't believe how good it was . Highly recommended and will try to get back nxt year !
Happy people everywhere who went out of their way to help and assist. The accommodation and surrounds were beautiful and breathtaking as well. My son's wedding was an experience of great atmosphere with the fire dancers, music and tasty food. Especially loved our farewell song.
Outrigger was fantastic for families. Staff were all friendly and very accommodating. Great experience
I wish we'd stayed longer. This resort was definitely a great place to spend a week with friends and family. The resort is lovely, a real natural setting amongst palm trees and meandering walkways around the grounds. The buggys are made available at all times to whiz you around the resort as needed. The staff were very friendly and accomodating even though a bit slow at times. The food was great, the entertainment and the kids club and mei mei nanny service was invaluable to me with 2 little ones. The ladies at the service and the kids club made me feel completely at ease and safe to leave my kids in their care. Finally the views from the spa are amazing, as is the service and staff. The treatment was lovely.
We stayed 1 week at the outrigger for my sisters wedding, A beautiful spot and the staff are amazing. My kids had a great time and already asking when we can go back
Family resort with lots of activities for children. Very friendly staff.
Whilst the rooms are tired and in need of renovating, the Outrigger was a fabulous 4 star resort. A lovely village-like environment, nicely laid out. Many resorts offer 'kids eat free from the kids menu' but provide such limited options, often with dessert being extra, that you end up having to spending more on the kids food in the end. However, not at the Outrigger. The kids menu had loads to choose from, included a drink as well as a dessert - no need to have to spend any extra on the kids which was great. Bebe Spa was truly 5 star and well worth the spend on a treatment.
This was the perfect family holiday. Great to stay in Bure's & get the extra touches of butler delivering drinks & canapés every evening, meal package gave us flexibility to choose where to eat, massages were bliss, activities & entertainment fantastic and staff were superb. The Fijians adore children so extra special for young ones.
Service from all staff were absolutely amazing! Our children thoroughly enjoyed Kids Club. Being involved with the evening Torch Lighting was a memorable experience for them! The Community Tour was a memorable experience for us all & I would highly recommend everyone to do! Overall very happy with our stay & will definitely stay again!
Huge family resort heavily geared for families with young children.
Will be back
The Outrigger is well set up with everything within 5 minutes walk and with the kids club and the pool area at the centre. With five restaurants to choose from, great service and friendly staff it made for a perfect family holiday. The kids club activies and program was the standout including very practical 3 sessions per day including a night session from 5.30 to 9.00 allowing us parents to have dinner dates. Would highly recommend it. FYI our kids are aged 7 and 5.
Truely beautiful resort and amazing people that look after you 100 percent
This was our first trip overseas with a toddler and it was great! The staff were all very friendly! The buffet breakfast is repetitive though. We were upgraded to one of the Bures rooms for our first night which was a nice surprise. Very happy with everything.
Our little family had a great time at the Outrigger Fiji. Nothing but good words about the staff and premises.
Great family trip where the kids were entertained by outdoor activities and learning the local culture. Friendly and happy service and having nightly drinks and canapés delivered by the Talai butler was a luxurious treat each afternoon. We will be back!
I loved the Outrigger Fiji Beach Resort. Staff were friendly and provided great service. Room was great and well maintained. The resort offers wonderful facilities. Highly recommend.
Loved the resort. Rooms,restaurants,shopping and especially the staff were awesome. Thank you.
Had a great stay at the outrigger. Great for families. Lots to do and the community school project is a fantastic idea.
Our first trip to Fiji. We chose the outrigger as the kids club and mei mei service suited our family. The service was great, our children did not want to leave their mei mei who was amazing and the food was varied and we always enjoyed it. As with most resorts the drink and food prices were quite high but the service was fantastic. There was lots to keep you busy throughout the day with the pool and other activities like snorkeling, reef walks etc on offer. The fire walking show was great and the school tour was worth the price and the trip. Highly recommended family resort.
Really fantastic holiday with our family here at the Outrigger. they made us feel really welcome from the very start right throughout our stay.
Especially good was the way the chefs handled any allergy questions. Our son has severe Egg and Nut allergies , but as soon as they heard about the allergies ,they quickly indicated what was safe and what was not , but also offered to recook items without egg , where possible.
This was a huge relief for us and one of the reasons we chose this resort , was the feedback from other families on this allergy-friendly approach.
It didn't take much from their part , but it meant a huge deal to us..
Lots of free activities for the kids. Food and drink is not cheap, but it is not very expensive either - some smart decisions on package options - eg kids eat free , all go a long way to reducing costs ...
and of course - all on Fiji time :)
Good place for couples and families. Great for weddings!
We have just spent a week at Outrigger and i cannot rate it highly enough - from the room, food, staff, and nanny/kids club which allowed us some much needed time out/alone. I would recommend a bure if you can do that bit more, the hotel rooms are fine, but they are a bit of a walk to the pool and if your on top floor.
We generally stayed at the resort and the kids were extremely happy. The staff were lovely, the pool was amazing and there were a good variety of eating options.
Can't fault the experiences.
The staff are so friendly and helpful. The facilities are fantastic! The resort looks like a dream. There is so much to do within the resort you don't have to leave it. Being nearly an hour and a half from Nadi (longer in peak hour) is a downside. We had a day trip which left from Denarau and it was a very long day. There is still plenty to do around the coral coast. We loved it and would recommend the Outrigger to everyone
we were very happy with our experience at the outrigger. This is the second time there and we were not disappointed. The service is great, very friendly staff and the food was very impressive, lots of variety and fresh, clean eating food. I really was impressed with the food. Also if you want 5 star restaurant food, the IVI had the best food i have ever tasted and i have been to quite a few 5 star dinning restaurants. Definitely recommend this to other families and couples.
The resort was amazing and the staff beyond friendly . All the staff made you feel so welcome and like royalty . Drinks were a little overpriced .
Everyone was very friendly and always helping if needed. Will go back anytime. The food was great.
The resort offered everything we needed and wanted. Great facilities, a variety of activities and the staff were absolutely amazing. We did not want to leave!
The service was great and staff friendly. the resort looked amazing. We went for a friends wedding the wedding planning couldn't be faulted.
The resort also put on a Anzac Day memorial which was both beautiful and moving.
My 12year old son and I enjoyed the Outrigger. Our room was comfortable and had a nice view from the balcony. The drink and canapés delivered very evening were delicious. Buffet breakfast had a great choice of food. Food at the restaurants was good, and great value with Kids Eat Free. The 2 spa treatments were excellent. The Community Project Tour was very worthwhile. Staff at the resort were all very happy and pleasant. Musicians enhanced the atmosphere. The pool was a good size with plenty of sun loungers. We would stay at The Outrigger again
Great food, all meals at all restaurants were great. Good Chefs. Staff are great
The service was absolutely wonderful, the Bure' we had was very well positioned. the only thing was the lunch and dinner menu's, could have a better selection. The prices are high considering the food.
Great place to stay for everyone. We stayed with extended family and was one of the most relaxing holidays I've ever had. Staff were amazing and friendly, the pool was the best place to be.
This was our first getaway and trip overseas with our young family. We went out of peak times and managed to get a great deal which was definitely great value for money. It is an amazing part of the world with great facilities and very friendly staff. There are lots of activities and events going on, many of which are at no extra cost. The staff are ridiculously friendly and very accommodating of our young family.
The prices are similar to Australian prices, rather than Fijian, but it is good value considering the type of resort it is.
We were all sad to leave and we would definitely go back.
We were a family of 6 adults, a 5year old and 9month old baby so it was good to be able to spend our time together at the resort. There was plenty of things for each of us to do without going off the resort.
Great wedding destination
We took our 6 children over to outrigger Fiji resort and had the most amazing time. The room, the views, the beach, the lovely people, everything was perfect!!! We were actually in paradise and we can't wait to go back again. A great place to stay for couples, families, everybody!!! Vinaka outrigger resort, you were awesome.
Everyone is welcome every one can find something to do! The resort is amazing the staff extremely friendly! Lots of activities provided and if that's not enough book a trip! Really enjoyed it and love to go back there
Rooms were perfect, service and friendliness of staff was outstanding, all food venues we experienced were fantastic.
It was just great. The stuff is very friendly the food all up very good. And you have everything you might need there.
Lots to do or not to do the cocktails by the pool were excellent the food at the Buffet was terrific as well as the other restaurants especially the
sundowner and the Bar Grill The staff are were fantastic they all need to be commended for their service will come back again
We absolutely loved our time at The Outrigger. All staff were extremely helpful and happy, everything was reasonably priced and the property is stunning. Perfect resort for families, couples or a singles trip away.
We loved the outrigger. Our kids loved going to the kids club each day which meant it was like a second honeymoon for myself and my husband.
We had interconnecting superior rooms, these rooms were great! Big rooms and bathrooms, well furnished, very comfortable. Spa was good however some service improvements could be made. Went to Fiji for wedding had to be cancelled and rebooked for next day. Very stressful due to personal circumstances however dealing with events staff made it easy to rebook the next day without too much hassle. Thank you so much for their expertise in last minute arrangement in emergency situation as well as medical staff at resort. Tave our nanny was absolutely fantastic she was so lovely and helpful. What a lovely lady. Our kids really liked her. Thank you. Nanny & kids club well worth it. Well looked after resort. Chapel is beautiful. View up there is out of this world.
Great holiday which ticked all of the boxes.
Perfect holiday which ticked all of the boxes.
Overall we were happy with the Outrigger and enjoyed our holiday with the family. The staff were very friendly and the facilities were well maintained.
Both my husband and myself had an absolutely AMAZING holiday. Highly recommend the outrigger resort. The experience we had was beyond our expectations, & would go back to the outrigger in a heartbeat
Lovely resort with great, friendly staff. Great snorkelling off the beach but needed to be aware this was often only available for 2 hrs/ day. Food options for kids and adults were good initially but a bit tiresome after about 4 days. Did a couple of great day trips (Whales tale island trip + Singatoka river safari) which meant I didn't have cabin fever feeling cooped up in the resort. Kids absolutely loved it and even managed a couple of kids club sessions when it is usually not their thing + also loved the resort activities.
Caters for most needs and desires. Helpful friendly staff with clean facilities. everything available at resort prices, short trips or walks for alternate options. Music with a happy pleasent vibe, activities and quite spots. Fun and laughter all day long!
Kids loved the pool, kids club and their nanny. Adults loved the adults only pool and swim up bar. All the staff were so friendly and helpful and the gorgeous lush garden setting and ocean sunsets were perfect. Treat yourself to the fine dining restaurant and amazing views from the spa!
Loved every minute!
Had a very relaxing time food was great good choice and variety the resort was fantastic and i can't say enough about the beautiful friendly Fijian people thanks travelonline
Love it can't wait to go back
We stayed in August 2017 with our 2 and 7 year old boys. The kids club and nanny service is brilliant. The whole resort and staff are all fantastic with kids. The pool is also plenty big enough and has great areas for the little ones to walk around. Lots of food options, and given your in a large resort food was good and prices are not too over the top. The resort is a good 1.5h drive from Nadi so any activities around that area are a long day trip however there is plenty to do at and within half an hour of the resort.
Just back from six nights at Outrigger. The rooms were very comfortable and clean. The staff were all lovely and helpful. The pool is great, especially for little kids.
We enjoyed our stay here. Meals were good. Great family resort.
The staff were wonderful. We were so pleased how the children were treated. Your system of children eat free is great. The staff's ability to split the dinner bill for different rooms/different couples was great. Our butler was magic and genuinely friendly especially with our grandkids.
Great family friendly hotel that caters for a variety of different people but mostly families. Kids club is great and has a range of activities for kids aged 3-12 and if younger there is the Meimei serve which we used last time we were there. Restaurants offer a range of options and we stayed in a Bure which is fantastic with your very own Talai (butler)! Fantastic holiday and great venue.
Our stay in Fiji exceeded all expectations. The outrigger staff were absolutely outstanding. Extremely friendly and genuine, especially our butler Jonetani. Can't wait to go back.
Fiji is such a great location for holidays for couples or families and there is something for everyone. The only complaint I have is that it is very expensive when purchasing Food and Alcohol.
Great place to stay. Had grandkids with us, so much for them to do.
My partner and I spent 4 days here and we both agreed another 2 would have been perfect. Our room overlooked the sea and was only 20 metres away. The staff were amazing and eager to help and there was plenty to do. I watched the nannies looking after the kids and was hugely impressed. Whether it be for couples, families or groups [there were a couple of weddings] I can heartily recommend a visit
We have visited this resort a number of times. My daughter was married here as well. The Bebe spa is unique in architecture and location and is definitely worth visiting for a treatment. The Ivi restaurant is ideal for a special dinner. Rooms and grounds have not changed a great deal and are in good condition. The best rooms to stay in are the bures. I think the buffet breakfast is due for an upgrade - it has not changed over a number of years. We ate at the Sundowner Restaurant most evenings which we enjoyed and the service was great.
The resort was great, staff friendly. Food amazing.
Kids club was ok but found nanny service better option for this time. Will definately stay again perfect for families and groups.
The Outrigger Resort is the most beautiful place to go for a relaxing holiday. My daughter got married there and it was so beautiful we could not falt it, the people are so welcoming it was a pleasure to stay there.
A token machine in the laundry room would be beneficial so you dont have to go to reception every time you want to wash.
Staff were amzing, especially activities workers- the kids loved them!
Went for a wedding, loved every minute we were there such beautiful and friendly people live in Fiji. Hope to visit again perfect holiday.
We enjoyed our stay so much that we will be returning next year. Salote and her staff are helpful and caring. We were there for a wedding. You could not wish for a more perfect setting. You can join in the daily activites or spend your time relaxing.
A great choice of places to dine.
Staff, facilities, food, entertainment all just fabulous
Had a good stay at the Outrigger - was there for a wedding and the location and set up was great. Good food and happy hours!
My wife and I enjoyed every moment of our holiday at the Outrigger. The hotel was excellent, the food was amazing and the staff were fantastic, they were very friendly and attended to all our needs.
A wonderful family resort, everyone loved it.
We found our trip to the outrigger on the coral coast fiji a great family holiday everything was catered for.
the meimei service was fantastic and gave my wife and I the break we needed.
The staff,food and all the resort had to offer made our stay memorable
Staff were great, very friendly
We stayed 8 days and everything went perfectly, friendly helpful staff, good food sometimes a little expensive, overall great
My Husband and I had a wonderful time at the Outrigger it was the best holiday ,very relaxing and the Staff at the Outrigger was so Friendly it was 10 out of 10 !!!!
We WILL be BACK ...
We stayed at the Outrigger for 10 days and we had a great time. Plenty of choices on how to spend your time on the resort, plenty of food and drinks choices. The rooms were large and well maintained, the food was great, the pools were amazing and the staff were fantastic. Overall we had a really good time.
We had a fantastic time. The resort is great for families and has activities to keep the adults entertained as well.
We were travelling with 3 kids under 4 years of age.
The kids club and mei mei service ensured the kids had a great time
Beautiful resort really geared for families. Lots of activities to do on site. Local beach and coral reef was surprisingly really good for snorkeling. Giant clams, lion fish and plenty of reef fish.
Super expensive to eat and drink at the resort but more affordable options are a short 10min walk away :)
The staff really made our trip, so happy and nothing was a stress or too hard. The staff had plenty of cool local tips and lots of interesting stories to tell.
It's true what they say about "Fiji time"... definitely a holiday to slow down and spend time with family. Not really geared for action adventure people :)
We loved staying at the outrigger resort Fiji , close to everything , in a beautiful location ,excellent staff with exceptional service.We will be back.
Perfect venue for our family. The ability to put the kids into kids club is we could enjoy a few dinners and time in the adult only pool was wonderful too.
I cannot recommend the Outrigger Fiji Resort more highly. It caters beautifully for both kids and adults and there are soooo many activities on offer, most of which are free. There are multiple restaurants at the resort which are all yummy, and the buffet brekky is divine. We had a "kids eat free" package, so we found if we filled up at brekky, we could easily save a few dollars and skip lunch (the kids had their free lunch), then we all had dinner. Happy hour at the poolside bar was also great (gotta love half price drinks).
I loved being able to try scuba diving for the first time by participating in the free pool lesson (loved it so then signed up for an ocean dive which was all organised through the resort). The resort can also organise numerous day trips for you with ease. We loved having the opportunity to mix with the locals on the local village tour.
And finally, the staff were simply wonderful. Nothing was too much trouble for them. I have to say, the Fijian people are pretty much the friendliest people on earth.
We really enjoyed our stay at The Outrigger. We knew little about the resort and found our stay to exceed our expectations - we loved the friendly and welcoming staff and found that the resort had a good balance of restaurants and activities for our family (boys aged 9 and 12). We came home feeling very relaxed and energised, Vinaka!
We absolutely loved our stay at the Outrigger resort in Fiji with our two primary school aged children. The pool was divine and the children also loved the scuba diving, stand up paddle boarding and kayaking. There was a good selection of restaurants at the resort as well as a few local restaurants nearby for something different.
What really made our stay however were the staff. They were so friendly, professional and welcoming, The man who delivered our complimentary champagne and canapes to our room each evening was lovely and recognised us each day when he saw us out and about in the resort. He made us feel special. I would highly recommend Outrigger. As a huge plus they also employ about 600 locals from nearby villages which is fabulous.
Fantastic resort. Great for families. Will definitely stay here again.
We loved our time at Outrigger... we enjoyed exceptional service, there was plenty for the kids to do, as well as adults-only facilities (spa, hilltop tapas bar, pool), which made it the perfect spot for the whole family.
We had a good time at the Outrigger. My favourite things were the swimming pool and the live music throughout the resort.
This was our first family holiday overseas, and I am very impressed, everybody from the shuttle bus driver to all the staff at Outrigger were amazing. We were even greeted with a big open arm BULA from the smiling man at the gate.
I have 6 children and highly recommend kids club, the kids keep wanting to go back for more! What's even better is whilst the kids are in kids club you get to enjoy the luxury of the adults only pool and bar, it is bliss.
The resort caters for everybody, on one half you have fun for the kids in a massive pool where they have daily activities, poolside restaurant and drinks, and on the other side the calmness of an adults only pool with a bar you can swim to.
Excellent place for families and the coral beach right at the front of the resort
the staff were very friendly
There was a bit of confusion with the free mei mei service vs free spa treatments but it was all sorted in the end
Wonderful resort! Such friendly and attentive staff. Beautiful resort grounds. Plenty of delicious food options. Lots of activities and a fun Kids Club too. We had a wonderful week at athe Outrigger and can't wait to visit again!
the resort and people were fantastic. the grounds are amazing. so lush and we'll kept. the facilities are all clean and we'll maintained. the pool is huge and fun for all ages.
Because of the resorts high quality of service and functionality it was hard to leave to do other activities outside the resort :-)
Although we went in the off-season and the weather was wet and humid we had an excellent time at the Outrigger with our two kids (3 year old and 20 months). The highlights included the Meimei (nanny), kids club, the pool at the Outrigger, the Talai service for the Bure and all the staff were helpful and friendly.
It was fantastic place to stay the staff were amazing well done will recommend to friends and family
Really enjoyable trip and easy booking. Great location and people were fantastic. The food portions were a bit ridiculous but other than that a great holiday
Had a great time thank you really easy to book. Location was great and people were fantastic
The resort is absolutely beautiful and facilities top notch. The staff are so very friendly and great with kids.
On the negative side, the food was expensive and the beach a bit of a let-down. But if you make use of the pool and the other facilities it's quite easy to overlook.
The Outrigger was a fantastic place to stay. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating. Kids loved the Kids Club and all the facilities it had to offer. Will definately be going back.
Great family resort, great pool area, great staff. Food's a bit pricey, but when you're on holidays, who cares, just enjoy it
Travelled with Grandma, Husband and 3 children/young adults 9, 14 and 18. Stayed10 nights in a one bedroom suite with interconnecting room. Plenty of space for us all to spread out. We thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon champagne and canapé delivered to our room and then evening liquer and sweet treat. This was a beautiful touch to a most relaxing and enjoyable holiday. I would highly recommend the cooking class on Thursday lunchtime - a fantastic experience as well as the visit to the local village - truly memorable. You would not find a more enjoyable place to enjoy an afternoon cocktail and tapas than the bar at the top of the hill and the ride up and down in the buggy was a great experience too. What makes this resort however are the staff who couldn't be friendlier or happier - I'm sure this rubs off on all who stay as the general ambience of the resort is one relaxed and happy vibe. All the fun of Christmas was fabulous, especially Christmas carols on Christmas eve and carolling again on Christmas night. Santa arriving in a dune buggy was spectacular and so much fun for all. We especially loved the Sundowner Bar for breakfast, lunch and dinner! All the staff were fabulous, the music was beautiful but we must especially mention 'Macca" - the waitress who radiates joy! What a wonderful stay. Vinaka!
Great place
No words could explain how much we enjoyed staying at the Outrigger Fiji Beach Resort. It's amazing!!! The accommodation and overall Resort was stunning and the staff were simple beautiful. They went far and beyond what they needed to, to make you feel welcome and a part of the family. Vinaka Outrigger, you will be sadly missed but we're already planning our return.
I had the most relaxing time staying at Outrigger. All I wanted was a few days to unwind after a stressful year and Outrigger exceeded my expectations. I've never felt so welcomed at a resort before! The staff are the friendliest people I think I've met - they knew my name and always that I was ok and had everything I needed. I would recommend Outrigger to anyone looking for a getaway to unwind and relax. The facilities were perfect; I couldn't have expected anything more. There's something for everyone at Outrigger. Given it's a resort, you have to expect resort prices (still absolutely affordable) and so I wouldn't suggest Outrigger for backpackers...
I have already suggested to my sister that she and her fiancé honeymoon at Outrigger next year and I will definitely be back next year!
Outrigger was amazing; the views are beyond beautiful and it's the ultimate getaway destination.
A huge Bula from me. We had a fabulous time and loved the whole experience. Staff at the Outrigger were amazing and went above and beyond. Ana, Luke in Gym, Magic Mike and Tumeli were just beautiful and gave us the best customer service. The facilities were great just disappointed we couldn't use the beach a little more because of low tides, which is out of your control.
Bebe spa service and package was amazing and we will definitely be back to the Outrigger in the future.
A huge Vinaka from me and my family.
hotel - excellent! beautiful views!
location - only negative about location is it is 1hr 30min drive from denarau if you want to do any fun activities this is where it all happens
staff - friendly and helpful always greated with "bula" everywhere i went.
food - i enjoyed breakfast the most!!
beverages - pricey so make the most of "happy hour"
hospitality - alot of fun daily activities for kids and adults try "snorkel fishing"
giftshop - do NOT buy souveniers from town!!!! the gift shop and mini markets within the resort are the best deals you can get!!!!!
overall -stayed 6nights and loved everyday here!! must try the "bebe spa experience"
We have just returned from 10 nights in a garden bure with Butler service. The bure was clean and located well in regards to easy access to adults pool and main pool and dining etc. The main pool area is lovely, well maintained and warm, get there early if you want a shady umbrella. We thoroughly enjoyed the spa service and dinner at the Ivy for special occasions. The guided reef walk is also recommended. The gardens are especially beautiful at this resort, you really feel like you are in paradise. Cocktails on sunset at the Sundowner Bar are a must. We highly recommend this resort for a relaxing, up market holiday.
Great as usual but eating in house is expensive. Not a fan of "no cash" system.
Staff great and friendly. Pools lovely. Night times fun with live singers. Good for kids and parents with free kids club and free dinners for kids so parents can eat in peace.. breakfasts worth the extra. Drinks too expensive and soon mounts up so keep an eye on your spending.
We stayed at the Outrigger with four other families. Eight children in total, ranging from nine years to twelve years old. We had the most fabulous time! The staff are absolutely amazing. The resort is clean, rooms are well serviced, and there is nothing we could have wanted for.
Have to make special mention of Ana around the pool who helped us with our nine year old son who had three broken toes (two days before we left Sydney!) Thank you, thank you, thank you :)
We ate in the Sundowner Grill each night and were attended by King George and Dee. They were fantastic. Martha looked after the kids and they loved her too.
Great resort to stay, lots of activities too keep us busy, gorgeous pool.
We are already planning our trip back :)
We were there for a friends wedding. The whole resort is lovely. The Beach is a little disappointing. Plenty of bars and different dining choices. If you just want to relax the adults pool has a swim up bar. Go to Bebes Spa and have a massage.
Happy hour starts at 4 PM. The staff at the resort are the most beautiful and friendly people you could ever meet. Had a great time.
Wonderful trip to Fiji and Outrigger was fantastic..Thanks to Michelle and Travelonline as everything went smoothly and could not have asked for more.. What a wonderful place and the Fijian people are truly beautiful.. My kids can't stop talking about the people and we will definitely be back.
This was our 3rd stay at The Outrigger and we'll definitely keep coming back. It's an amazing resort, with lovely staff, delicious places to eat and great amenities. The staff can't do enough for you, they are so genuinely friendly. The food has always been yummy and both pool areas are wonderful. We love The Outrigger.
This resort was fantastic. The people working their provide some of the best service we have ever experienced.
We had a lovely 6 days, weather was almost perfect! Great selection of dining options. Spent majority of time by the adults pool - swim up bar was great!
We had a great family holiday and can't wait to be back.
We absolutely loved our stay at The Outrigger. We had a warm welcome into the hotel, the service was fantastic, and the resort was beautiful.
Our Deluxe beach view room was nothing but amazing. Great room with an awesome view and large balcony.
Id highly recommend this accommodation to anyone and everyone travelling. Not far from the local town for shopping, close to tours aswell. There is enough activities around the resort to cater for all, and the food was just delicious.
We will be returning next year with our extended family. VINAKA from Australian travellers.
Nice rooms. friendly staff. lots of resort activities. We went in school holidays so very busy. wouldnt reccommend for couples travelling without children.
Relaxing place. Wonderful for families. Amazing kids club.
Lovely place to go, I thought a little expensive for what it is.
We loved our stay here. We had a family plantation bure - great space for all of us. The pool was lovely and large and kept the kids entertained for ages. The food was also great - buffet breakfasts, lunch by the pool and most dinners at the restaurant looking over the ocean. Extras included the fire walking show and I had a 3 hour spa treatment one day which was a real treat. Very relaxing. Would definately return.
Overall it was relaxing the food was good facilities very good. Would definitely recommend it
The hospitality was fantastic, staff were all very friendly and accommodating. Staff were very kind to decorate the children rooms for their birthday and made such an effort to spoil them.
Hotel food was expensive, and it was a shame we could not access the kids meals via room service. However, overall, we highly recommend this resort.
We had such a great time at the outrigger. The facilities were great, they had plenty on in spite of the wet weather and we never had trouble finding ways to entertain the kids. A great holiday for families
I would like to thank the TravelOnline team for all your efforts for assisting out big group for a wedding at Outrigger resort. I can't fault anything. The staff were attentive and amazing, the resort was perfect for our daughter's wedding, the weather was great which allowed us to get out and do some activites and the restaurant/s on site served good food!
Thanks again and happy to recommend (especially for a wedding).
We were impressed by the resort, the facilities and the services. The pool area is just amazing for little ones. The food was amazing and we couldn't be happier with our holiday.
We loved our stay at Outrigger Resort! The staff were all friendly, kind, caring and so welcoming! We felt like part of their family. The kids had a wonderful time, lots of activities for them to do!
We loved our stay at the Outrigger. The staff were so welcoming and friendly. Great for families with lots of planned activities each day. Buffet breakfast is a must. Only negative is the rooms could do with a bit of an upgrade.
Absolutely loved our time at the Outrigger Fiji, we are a family with children 6 and 7 years old. Rooms are beautiful and very clean, the resort has everything if you don't want to leave. The coral lagoon is shallow and perfect for kids, you can literally walk a few steps into the water (kneee height) stick your head in and see coral and fish, go out a bit deeper and there is beutiful soft coral and numerous species of fish.
The staff at the resort are so friendly and helpful, the food is excellent we ate at the resort every night, could not fault any of it. Drinks are pricey but what you would expect at a resort. Would recommend to anyone.
I really enjoyed the Outtrigger And Fiji. So many activities for the kids and restaurants to choose from. A great deal trip and a great holiday! I am already recommending all my friends.
I couldn't complain at all. Everything as hoped for and more. I would certainly go back again. Food excellent! Ivi restaurant is amazing, Sundowner brilliant! Kid's club a real hit. Staff are unbeleivably friendly! Great!
We had a great week at the Outrigger. Facilities were good, a range of food options and plenty of activities for the kids (and the older types if interested). Overall a good time and we'd happily go back.
The Outrigger is a very beautiful resort. They cater extremely well for children and the staff are all very friendly and helpful. The beach is quite corally but perfect for snorkelling and watching the sunset. I would definitely go here again.
A really relaxing holiday. Kids loved kids club and learnt a lot about Fijian culture. Beautiful resort and amazing food. Very expensive food so be prepared to pay a lot. Just a few issues with some services-In spite of these issues, it was a really lovely holiday.
A great resort if you don't want to do anything except relax. Being on the coral coast it usually involves more travel time for day trips. Has beautiful spa treatments that involves a golf buggy ride to the top of the hill, which has a view over the resort.
The rooms and facilities here could do with a facelift but we forgot about that quite quickly as we enjoyed our stay a lot. I especially enjoyed the pool activities - 11am for pool aerobics was always a lot of fun.
Dining is pretty good, with at least three options for families plus a kids buffet at lunch on the lawn.
Staff are terrific.
The Outrigger was a very clean nice place to stay. Restaurant options were nice and staff were friendly.
Out riggers is a very nice place to stay with friendly staff and service, the overall experience of the FIJIAN culture was outstanding.
The Outrigger is a superb resort and can compete with any in relation to quality. Pool facilities, planned activities and Kids Club were simply amazing and truly well organised. People are so incredibly friendly, that you simply get sucked into "Fiji time" which is not based upon any clock, but rather a much more relaxed way of living, which we appear to have forgotten. Regarding food, style and variety was ok, but rarely of the highest quality. For families this may be ok, but seemed not to be quite up to the standard of everything else. Rooms are OK, depending upon your size requirements. We had 2 double beds, which for the 2 kids and my wife and me, was just a little too small. A Queen size bed + 2 singles would have been much better. Location of the resort makes it difficult to get to other places easily, with limited tourist highlights within two hours drive from resort. Also the beach, whilst good for a some basic snorkeling and kayaking, is uncomfortable to walk on in bare feet, when compared with the sandy Australian beaches we have been spoint with. But overall, a great holiday, thankyou Outrigger staff "BULA" Fiji. Memorable stay.
Nice clean and friendly resort
The staff at the outrigger are amazing with kids and the setting is beautiful.. A couple of great restaurants near by and at the resort but expect Australian resort prices or higher. Overall we had an amazing week and weren't ready to come home..Fiji we will be back!
We had a amazing stay, the staff were very friendly and helpful, will be back
We stayed at the outrigger for 10 nights, with our family and a couple of friends. We can not speak highly enough of this resort. The staff were so friendly and helpful, the food was great and facilities were excellent. You could do as little or much as you like with the daily activities on offer. My 2 daughters (4 & 6) had the an amazing nanny and loved the outdoors movie nights! Will definitely be going back!!
My family and I had a fantastic stay at Outrigger. The friendly staff, great food and the overall quality of the resort were perfect. I cannot recommend this place enough. Pools are awesome, the kids didn't want to come home!
Outrigger Fiji Beach Resort is a beautiful place to stay whether it is for relaxing or joining in the many activities available. They have a weekly activity newsletter which allows you to plan your day and make sure that you don't miss out. The staff are always happy and friendly and make you feel part of the Outrigger family where nothing you need or ask is too much.
This was our first holiday to the Outrigger Fiji Beach Resort, and what a holiday it was!! The staff were incredible, the resort was so beautiful, the food was amazing....it was such a lovely holiday that we are already planning our next one!
Thank you to everyone at Outrigger Fiji Beach Resort for having us!!
The deluxe ocean view rooms were a little dated but adequate. Great pool and friendly staff. Sundowner restaurant was excellent and there were great eating options not far from the resort.
We were made to feel very welcome and the staff are friendly and accommodating.
Room couple possibly be a little small for 4 people but we weren't in the room much.
Lots to do, lots of fun and we all want to go back!
Food and beverages very expensive.
A beautiful resort with the most amazing staff but prices were a bit expensive in the resort and took so long to get there from the airport. An experience I've never had before and would definitely go back :)
As a group of friends visiting for a birthday we couldn't fault the service or the location howevrer the last night we went to Ivi restaurant and whilst the food and service was great the wine prices were ridiculously high.
We will be back... We had a wonderful time.
excellent location to stay with children under 12. Good family atmosphere, brilliant staff and a lovely location to stay. The entire trip including transfers was easy to organize and worked with very little stress.
We had a wonderful time (our third visit) and cannot wait to return. The staff absolutely make the resort one of the best I have been to. Vinaka - until next time x
beautiful resort, friendly staff, food is great, but it can be noisy if people/kids talking and crying outside your room.
Exceeded all my expectations
Overall the experience was quite good however the cost of meals and drinks on site was quite high particularly as we did not have a breakfast included package and the breakfast was not good value. We had the opportunity to contribute to a community project which was rewarding.
Outrigger Fiji is one of the most amazing & unique resorts! The staff there are absolutely incredible, friendly & down to earth. We had such a wonderful holiday. The only downfall was the price of everything. We were lucky to get a great deal with our rooms & two free spa treatments per room but the food and beverage prices have increased. Overall Outrigger Fiji is our favourite holiday destination!!
This was our first overseas trip with our two primary school aged children and they had a ball. The kids club is fantastic and as with all Fijians, the ladies running it were super friendly and welcoming. It provided some nice couple time for us knowing that our kids were being well looked after and doing fun activities. I thought it was great having a separate adults only part to the resort as there were quite a few families with pre school aged children so couples and singles were able to enjoy peace and quiet if they preferred. We spent lots of time in the huge pool. The food, although pricey which we had expected, was amazing. The kids ate for free and the variety was really good, the usual chips and things but also healthy options and separate kids' buffets alongside the adult ones. The room was fine, nice and cool with the air conditioning. The bed was a bit soft and the shower would go a bit hot and cold but it was fine. The housekeeping was great and we had the added bonus of having our own butler who provided complimentary drinks each night. We also returned each evening to find bottles of complimentary water which was a nice added touch. The Kula Eco park which is a five minute walk from the resort is a must see, the kids really enjoyed being able to hold a snake and iguana.
Overall, a fantastic place to stay. We wish we could have stayed longer but we will definitely return. Bula!
The staff are very friendly and exceptional at customer service. Hospitality is amazing. They do not miss an opportunity to smile at guests and greet them with "Bula". I enjoyed the Buttler service with complimentary alcohol and canapés , the turn down service, the vouchers for massages and the free meals for our daughter. I noticed even more how much better the outrigger is after staying at a resort in Denarau for just one night on our last day in Fiji.
The Outrigger certainly lived up to our expectations for a family holiday. The pool area is great and there is a good selection of restaurants for eating with the Sundowner and Ivy being the best. The staff are friendly and break in to song regularly to sing Happy Birthday, or the Farewell song which is beautiful. Young kids loved the pool and getting their hair braided but There is not much to do for older teenagers and nightlife is limited so 5-6 days is about long enough. If you are looking for a family friendly holiday with young kids, you will be very pleased.
Staff were not allowed to recommend other options (restaurants, travel, sights to visit) which were not provided by the resort. We would have liked to experience the local culture without having it done in an organised / Group way. When we ask staff they advised us that they were not allowed to recommend other options such as good local restaurants
Totally blown away by the beautiful people of Fiji, the resort and the services provided. We had the best family holiday ever and this was largely due to total relaxation at this wonderful resort.
Will recommend the outrigger to all our family and friends, it is an experience that has brought us closer together.
Lots of activities for kids under 12, they loved it. Nice room and good service. Would not return based on food and drink prices being extremely expensive. Also limited options for food.
We couldn't of asked for a more family friendly and relaxing holiday with the kids. All the staff were so friendly especially with our daughter and we felt so at ease having the nannies look after her. Our daughter really loved them and her time at the kids club. The food we really nice and although everyone says it's expensive its about the same as what you would pay if you stayed at a resort in Australia although the alcohol was a bit pricey. The kids menu had a good varity to which i wasnt expecting . The room was spacey with two double beds and that was the basic room so very impressed. The pool was amazing and we practically lived in it everyday. Over all we can't fault it, we can't wait to go back.
Our stay (with my husband, 13yo son & 10yo daughter) was everything we'd hoped for! Relaxing, friendly, enjoyable, with plenty to do or not do. Just the right mix!
Our 2nd visit to the Outrigger Fiji Beach Resort was for our honeymoon. We had an amazing time with great activities like snorkelling, kayaking and swimming available within the resort. Meals were delicious especially the buffet breakfast. Our Talai, Semi, was a fantastic help. Our room was spacious and clean with air conditioning and a fan. Would definitely recommend this resort for families and couples for a complete holiday. Would like an alternative to the Iced Tea welcome drink on arrival such as juice or ice water. The Fijians are beautiful people and always greet us with a big smile and "Bula".
We found Outrigger excellent, our room was good and the butler service fantastic, I would recommend it. The adults swimming pool terrific too.
The only bad comment is that the wine is very expensive, even though we know it has to be imported, we still thought it was too much.
The Outrigger Fiji Beach Resort is amazing! Friendly staff and fun activities for everyone to enjoy, including an extensive pool area. Fabulous location with beachfront access and stunning ocean views!! If you get a chance, be sure to visit the Bebe Spa and indulge in one of their premium spa treatments! Divine!! I would highly recommend the Outrigger Fiji to anyone considering Fiji as a potential holiday destination!
Great atmosphere, very relaxing resort. Everything we wanted in a holiday.
We had an awesome stay at the Outrigger and will definitely return. Thanks
Loved every minute of our stay at The Outrigger. The staff were all so lovely and helpful, they really made the holiday stand out from others. Great value with the kids club and kids meals all free. We also love love loved the Mei Mei. Our nanny was just a beautiful lady. We will definitely be going back!
we travelled with our 2 children. resort offers perfect balance of activities and down time. girls loved the kids club. dining was pricey but expected. pool area 10/10. staff are wonderful, and the resort wouldnt be the same without their friendliness and hospitality. would definitely return.
Great facilities and service
My family had an amazing time at Outrigger. We did not want to come back! Staff is beautiful, location is perfect, food and drinks are lovely, heaps of activities on during the day. Guaranteed a fantastic time!
We had a wonderful time staying at the outrigger! The staff are warm and friendly, and make a point to learn the kids names, which brightened their day when they walked passed a staff member smilingly saying "Bula Zac" or "Bula Gianna". The kids spent hours everyday in the fantastic pool, which is fabulous for little ones as the kids pool is very shallow and big, and it was great relaxing poolside reading a book with poolside service. The beach is lovely, it has loads of shells so not your soft white sand beach, but wonderful and shallow when the tide is out and perfect for snorkling. The room we had was a 1 bedroom deluxe room and we loved it! It was clean and had aircon, and spacious and comfortable! The food was not top class, but still good, breakfast was amazing with lots of choice, and as always such wonderful staff. The food is a bit pricey, although it seems competitive for Fiji pricing at the resorts. Overall a fabulous holiday and can't wait to go back.
Food is a little pricey but that's expected. Lovely welcoming staff at Outrigger no matter where you turned.
The service, staff, food and location were FANTASTIC.
It was 5 star treatment when it came to service the staff members offered. The Mei Mei's were fantastic and lovely.
The only constructive criticism i have is the rooms and specially the bathrooms are very outdated, old and not equivalent to 5 star rating.
I could not fault this place unless I went hunting for things. Great resort, the staff are very helpful, happy and always willing to their job. Makes the best of Australian service seem poor and it is so natural for them. Kids loved everything.
Great Resort for everyone especially kids.
Very good swimming pool with loads of seating on waters edge to accommodate most of the people. Needs a renovation and apparently it starts this week.
Rooms where good but bathrooms definately need a renovation. Very dated.
Food was good. But would recommend eating at the restaurants just oitside the resort. Walking distance.
Would definately go back.
My family stayed here over christmas , and I can honestly say it was the best family holiday we have ever had. The children were so well catered for that it made the whole trip just perfect. The Fijian people working in the resort were second to none, professional, caring, happy and so relaxed. I could not recommend this resort highly enough for children. My children were 7 and 9 years of age, and loved the activities in the kids club that wanted to go 3 times a day !!!
We had a wonderful time in Fiji. The outrigger was a fantastic first time visit to the mainland and gave us a real taste of what Fiji has to offer.
The Bure was perfect though and our butler Jerry was very helpful and fun. We had some of the staff calling us by our first names by the time we left! Really happy lovely people who did whatever they could to make our stay comfortable. We miss them already!
The only thing I would say that is not value for money is the food vouchers. We were charged $150 per day per adult and found it hard to make up that amount at every meal, especially as it didn't include any drinks.. The food was great on a whole, and I would go as far as saying I had some amazing curries from Baravi restaurant at the pool!!
The kids had the most amazing time making friends and playing in the pool. We will definitely be back!!
My boyfriend and I went to surprise my best friend for her 21st. The staff were so helpful in locating her and organising the surprise. Infact, the staff there were so lovely and welcoming and happy to help us with absolutely anything and everything. Our room was beautiful and clean and the facilities were fabulous. I have nothing but positive things to say about this resort and the service we received. My partner and I will most definitely be back and we recommend this place to everyone :)
We stayed at the Outrigger in Fiji for 10 days in mid December with our 4 children aged 3, 6, 8 and 11 with the expectation of relaxation, kids club, adult only time and family time and ticked all boxes.
The resort is spacious, green and well maintained. The staff are super friendly and some became welcome faces to see each day (our butler Joe and William at the bar who joked with the kids on a daily basis). The rooms were clean and had all basic facilities and the resort had some fantastic entertainment and activities.
The kids club was great and had some 'away from home' activities such as frog chasing, coconut husking, fishing, and lai making but my 11yr old felt he was a bit too old for it and there weren't many kids his age though he did love the coconut husking/eating and the fishing.
The pool has areas for all ages, our 3yr old was safe in the little kids part (with us of course) whilst our older kids were happy in the bigger part of the pool where they made friends to hang out with.
The restaurants were very nice, good quality food and plentiful. The buffet breakfast is great with plenty of options in food, the restaurant around the pool is also very nice and delivers around the pool within certain daytime hours and the sundowner restaurant overlooking the ocean is very romantic and great restaurant quality food. Cocktails are a plenty and the mojito's well worth sampling!
The adults only pool is a fantastic way to kill an afternoon when the kids are in kids club, a swim up bar is a great novelety.
They butler service with daily canapes, liqures and champagne and beer is a wonderful way to end a day with all the kids in bed.
I cant fault much but have a couple of tips - firstly, bring plenty of sunblock. The sunblock at the general store costs $25 per tube!!! Also bring a small snap lock bag of laundry detergent. To do a load of washing and drying costs $8 then you have to buy the detergent on top. We didn't buy the full pre-paid meals for the adults as we were so full after buffet breakfast and then ate the kids lunch left overs so personally, I think its a waste of $$ to prepay 3 meals a day.
All in all though, a fantastic family holiday with enough relaxing, enough action and plenty to do in the resort.
The Outrigger is a stunning resort, the staff are so friendly and very professional. You can enjoy the endless amount of activities organised or relax and do nothing. The Bebe Spa is beautiful. You would be a hard person to please if you didnt love the Outrigger.
We visited the Outrigger Fiji for our daughters year 12 graduation. Two mums in one room, the girls in the other. We booked Superior resort rooms but where upgraded to deluxe resort view rooms with free Champ's & canapé's each night, delivered by a wonderful Fijian butler. A wonderful landscaped, friendly resort for all ages, it's only 15 years old & is set out beautifully, it has everything there. A tour desk, currency exchange, medical centre, general store, retail shops, hair dresser & yes they do wonderful hair-braids, The relaxing & heavenly "Bebe" mountain top spa & bar is breath-taking (our complementary Fiji bobo 1 hour massage was divine!)craft making programmes, entertainment, Fiji ladies & men selling their crafts through out the resort, 6 restaurant's with quality foods - pricing is higher due to the quality & standard of food, the pools are amazing, beach front access & view & breeze is great. We went on 4 village tours, the Fijians are beautiful people living a simple life & living from the land & sea - river, which is what we all should be doing. We are saving for our return visit.
Best time ever we didn't want to leave! Our family will return one day!
Fabulous holiday at Outrigger Coral Coast. Friendly staff. The only down side was the TV service. All CNN and relays from Macau of old bad language movies. Desperately needs Australian coverage, news and shows etc as I think 80% of tourists to resort are Aussies.
I highly recommend this resort. It is very family friendly. My husband and I travelled with our 3 kids (10,7,7) and they had an amazing time - AS DID WE!.The Kids Club and Nanny service is fantastic. The food is great - I highly recommend the Sundowner Restaurant. The people are always genuinely welcoming and look after you. Only negative was the limited amount of water sports as the beach is only small so we did a couple of tours. Other than that, cannot speak any more highly of the resort. My son had his 10th birthday there and had a fantastic day - he was made to feel very special by the staff. The rooms are clean and well decorated - we went for an interconnecting superior beach view instead of the family bure (which still were nice) and would gladly do so again - AMAZING!!!!!
Outrigger has the friendliest staff who will go out of their way to make sure you have a fantastic holiday. There are so many activities to do and they change daily so you don't get bored. We got a free upgrade to a deluxe room with butler service and canapés daily and the rooms were spacious and clean. The dining was great with different themed buffets every night my family loved sundowners and the staff loved the boys always remembering there names and asking how there day was. Ivi restaurant is amazing. Crab and frog races, nightly movies for the kids, golf range and adults only pool you can't ask for more plus they have a kids club starting at 3yo's and nanny (mei mei service)which is great. We had a great holiday thanks outrigger!
We stayed at the Outrigger for 6 night with our children aged 3 and 1. All of us really enjoyed the holiday, we had a nanny included in our package for 4 days which meant my husband and I had some very rare child free time. The children loved going to meimei and they were entertained with beach walks, craft, movie screenings etc. The adult pool was fantastic with a swim up bar, the children loved their pool too. Food was of good quality and we used room service on a few occasions and found the food to be good, the service prompt and the price reasonable. The room was big enough for the king bed, sofa bed and travel cot. We ate just outside the resort on 3 occasions and found the food and service to be excellent. We could not complain one bit about this resort. The people, service and facilities were all 5 star. This is a holiday we will be talking about for years to come!!
Great ambience . Excellent place for families with young kids . Negatives are very slow service If you have ordered alcohol in a restaurant .
Well maintained resort just small enough to get to know the staff but not so small there's nothing to do. Plenty of facilities and activities and you wouldn't have to leave the resort if you didn't want to. Close to Sigatoka for shopping etc. One word of warning though, unless you like climbing stairs get a garden bure or specify/request rooms with a 2 or 5 prefix, ie 201, 506 etc!
Fijians are warm and welcoming, they can't do enough for you. Outrigger provides everything you need for a wonderful holiday, especially for families.
Thank you to all the staff at Outrigger Fiji for a fantastic family holiday - we spent 8 nights with you in the September school holidays and found our time there very relaxing!
Very beautifully planned resort with lots of places to take in the lovely views. We stayed on the 3rd floor of the apartment block and I wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere else. Could see right to the ocean, but didn't have people wandering past our door all the time. The main buffet is excellent, but I found the rest of the food a bit average and overpriced. The pool area was lovely, and even though we had overcast weather, we still enjoyed walks along the beach. A very lovely resort.
The outrigger delivered everything it promises plus more. We travelled with a 3month old, 8 year old and 5 adults and all of our needs were accommodated for. Service was excellent. Never at a loss for anything to do as all members of the family could participate in resort hosted activities or simply sit back and relax. Such a great time was had by all. Will stay here again. Highly recommended for families or couples.
The distance from airport to resort is a disadvantage.
Good range of activities for kids and adults, friendly staff, great service however the range restaurants and menu was limited. Kids menus was specially poor quality.
We had an awesome time in Outrigger and will definitely visit again.
The only thing is the food prices which is higher than expected. (with the full buffet breakfast included on the package and kids eat free, still had to pay $50 in average for each meal)
The staff are very friendly and responsive, atmosphere is great with very good facilities.
Strongly recommended.
We stayed here 10 years ago and were blown away with everything from the moment we got there, until the moment we left.
Things have slipped a little bit mainly from a service point of view, the resort is still immaculate and the food is spectacular.
All in all, I would recommend to stay there, but lower your expectations regarding service as most of the time it is fine, however sometimes "Fiji time" takes a little longer than expected.
Welcoming, hospitable and relaxing.
Our Rooms were spectacular, interconnecting for the 3 kids, and balconies to relax overlooking the resort palms into the Ocean.
Activities for the younger kids and plenty of room around the resort pool to forget about the world outside. Order lunch snacks beverages.
Restaurants catering for all occasions, our favourite was Sundowner for an unbelievable rack of ribs and fine red. The kids could not go past the crumbed chicken breast. The cocktails created to perfection.
The service team Food and Bev and Rooms always charming, smiling and Bula.
Kids club could use a make over, not many kids at the resort were enthusiastic about attending.
We went for a wedding which was fantastic but after that we felt food and drink was expensive - maybe I am comparing with thai prices. Resort was great.
attention to customers : having been overlooked for the cocktail party was most disappointing , we really missed the high tea , we always have girl or ladies only get together . and also miss the little sandwich bar in the breakfast area .. but still enjoyed our stay
The Outrigger fulfilled our expectations and more! The staff were amazing and could not do enough for us. The room was beautiful and big enough for our family of four. The activities on offer at the Resort were fantastic - the kids loved the kids club and the adults loved paddle boarding!
We had pretty awful weather. Rainy, very windy and quite cold. Not their fault. Still managed a good time. Liked our room 3rd floor deluxe with butler service. Loved the arvo treats. Food options really good. Kids club ladies fantastic as were staff in general. Fijian show Tuesday night was great. Pools very fun for kids and adult pool lovely. All food really great and not served on fiji time... Weather unlucky for us. Would prefer to stay on an island. Takes just as long in transit really.
Didn't want to leave.
The Outrigger Fiji Beach Resort was beyond my expectations . I could not fault anything. It was a relaxing holiday .The staff were friendly, the service the food the resort were superb.
Lovely place, very friendly staff. Service could be a bit prompter at times. Had a great trip.
The staff at the outrigger were absolutely amazing & made our holiday super special.
The kids friendly areas alongisde some adults only areas make it an ideal venue for families and couples alike.
Getting out of the resort is also easy with some lovely local restaurants along the sunset strip beach road as well as local buses costing $1 per person which take you into teh neighbouring villages or nearby Sigatoka town - the markets are fantatsic, the people super friendly.
Recently stayed for a period of a week , we were upgraded to a deluxe Ocean view room at no extra charge after an initial wrong booking of a room on their part.
Had meals in several restaurants at the resort - both service and food quality was great . The breaktast buffet a must but better deal to pay on booking for time staying as cheaper then day by day buffet prices!
Would go back tomorrow. Fiji time was good time, so laid back and relaxed.
Great family holiday, this was our 4th visit to this resort. Staff extremely friendly and they make you feel like family. Luke at the golf driving range is fantastic with the kids, they will never forget him.
My Nephew was married at The Outrigger on the Lagoon, everything was brilliant...
The Outrigger was all just perfect and a wonderful venue for our son's wedding. The chapel on the hill for the ceremony, breathtakingly beautiful. The adults only pool, transformed into fairy land for the reception, outstanding. I have no idea how the amazing staff can make the transformation in such a short time for the evening's wedding receptions! We were upgraded to an Ocean Breeze Bure and for that we are truly thankful, it was just lovely. Our butler Tave is just the sweetest person and cared for our every need so well. Jack up at the adults' pool and several other rostered areas is a star, a true star! Of your staff you should be so really proud, they did Fiji proud. Everyone was just so so friendly and helpful. The lovely waitresses and waiters in all the restaurants, wow! Dive shop activities excellent facilities and snorkels always clean and leak free, much appreciated. It's these little touches that matter. The gardening crew do a brilliant job and I've got so many delightful photos of the beautiful grounds to keep our happy memories alive and well for ever!

FTC Finally Permanently Shuts Down Fake News Sites Shilling For Acai Berries
It was nine months ago that the Federal Trade Commission announced its crackdown on companies that created sites aimed to look like news reports that were really just advertisements for supplements and other weight loss products made from acai berries. Now, as part of a settlement agreement, six online marketers will permanently stop the deceptive practice.
The proposed settlement requires the defendants make clear when commercial messages are advertisements as opposed to journalism, and bars them from further deceptive claims about health-related products, such as the acai berry weight-loss supplements and colon cleansers that they marketed.
Among other stipulations of the settlement, the marketers are also barred from making deceptive claims about other products, such as the work-at-home schemes or penny auctions promoted by many of them.
The settlements also requires the defendants pay about $500,000 collectively, because their advertisements violated federal law.
While all the acai hype was building in recent years, our cohorts at Consumer Reports have maintained that although the berries may be high in antioxidants, there is little evidence that they have special weight-loss or other such powers that you can often touted in ads on the Internet.

Basic Graph Class for iPhone
NOTE: There is a new and better tutorial about graphing. View my other tutorials to find it.
When i was trying to create a basic line graph for my last project i found that there was neither a solution in the SDK nor much help online from fellow developers. There is a more complicated but very nice solution called CorePlot.
However as basic line drawing is relatively easy with CorGraphic I have made my own GraphView Class.
To use it simply:
- import it in your header
- initialise it with [[GraphView alloc] init];
- Add points to it using its addPoint method.
At the moment the addPoint method is setup to accept UIAccelerationValues so you will need to modify it to accept float instead.
Also at the moment the maximum number of points is 300. This can also be easily modified.

A little boy is warming a lot of hearts after thanking one of his police officers in a special way.
According to a post by the Lakeland, Florida Police Department, 8-year-old Noah was eating at a Denny's restaurant with his mom when he spotted a police officer eating breakfast.
RELATED: Police officer buys meal, shares it with homeless man: 'No one wants to eat alone'
He asked his mom if he could pay for the officer's meal, and wrote a touching not on the officer's receipt.
"I want to be young when I grow up," wrote Noah. "Thank you for your service."
The officer, identified as Officer Benitez, was so touched by the act of kindness that he asked to take a photo with Noah.
"Well Noah you touched all of our hearts today. Your support means so much to all of the men and women who put on the uniform everyday," the police department wrote in a Facebook post.

Apr 23, 2007 - Business Wire
Florida Power & Light Company (NYSE:FPL)
today announced it has issued a request for proposals
(RFP) to identify and select new renewable generation
resources that will help the company enhance its
fuel diversity and maintain system reliability while
providing cost-effective power to its customers.
"Our goal is to provide our customers
with a mix of renewable resources that further augments
and diversifies our existing generation portfolio,"
said Michael Leighton, FPL's chief development officer.
Today, FPL buys 158 megawatts of renewable
energy on a firm basis in addition to approximately
146 MW on a non-firm basis or about one-third of
the state's available renewable energy production.
"We're hoping to identify and tap
into new, affordable renewable energy sources that
can be in service by 2015, as well as open dialogue
with others about technologies and resources that
might be available beyond that timeframe," said
FPL released its RFP earlier today,
with a pre-proposal workshop planned for May. Proposals
will be due in July and a short list of vendors
will be compiled by November. More information about
the RFP can be obtained at www.FPL.com/renewables2007rfp
RFP solicits innovative proposals.
The RFP is limited to new renewable
generation facilities. FPL's RFP defines "new renewable
generating facility" as an electrical generating
unit or a group of units located on the same site
that is currently not producing energy or increased
capacity from an existing facility interconnected
to an electric utility. The company welcomes proposals
that use a variety of renewable energy sources,
including biomass (including waste-to-energy and
landfill gas), solar, geothermal, wind, ocean current,
hydroelectric, waste heat from a commercial or industrial
manufacturing process and hydrogen produced from
sources other than fossil fuel. FPL would prefer
that the renewable resources be located in Florida.
The issuance of the RFP follows and
expands upon a Standard Offer Contract for all renewable
generators, filed with the Florida Public Service
Commission earlier this month. Unlike the Standard
Offer Contract, the RFP requires that all renewable
attributes associated with the renewable generation
be provided to FPL.
Producing reliable power and protecting
the environment
FPL is committed to increasing its
energy purchases from renewable generating facilities.
In addition to the RFP and the Standard Offer Contract,
the company continues to look for opportunities
to incorporate renewable resources into its power
generating fleet as technologies make them commercially
available. The company is developing several pilot
projects using solar photovoltaic technology and
exploring technologies for potentially producing
electricity from ocean currents. Additionally, FPL
is pursuing a wind demonstration project on either
the east or the west coast of Florida.
FPL's affiliate, FPL Energy, is the
leader in wind-produced power in the nation and
owns the largest solar generating facility in the
world. Combined, the two subsidiaries of FPL Group
operate one of the cleanest electricity generating
fleets in the nation with among the lowest rates
of power plant air emissions.
FPL Group was one of the first to
join the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's
Climate Leaders program and is committed to achieving
an 18 percent reduction in emission rates of greenhouse
gasses by 2008 compared to a 2001 baseline. Florida
Power & Light Company is the principal subsidiary
of FPL Group, Inc. (NYSE:FPL), nationally known
as a high quality, efficient and customer-driven
organization focused on energy-related products
and services. With annual revenues of nearly $16
billion and a growing presence in 26 states, FPL
Group is widely recognized as one of the country's
premier power companies.
Florida Power & Light Company serves
4.4 million customer accounts in Florida. FPL Energy,
LLC, FPL Group's competitive energy subsidiary,
is a leader in producing electricity from clean
and renewable fuels. Additional information is available

Author's Note:
I may be insane for attempting this, but here's my contribution to the 2012 December Calendar Challenge of Awesomeness! Hades Lord of the Dead is being completely amazing and organizing this for those of us in the Sherlock Holmes fandom.
We will be given a prompt assigned by one of the other authors participating in the challenge every day in December and it will be our task to write something based on it. With some luck, this will (hopefully) be updated daily for your reading pleasure!
Without further ado, here's December 1st's prompt assigned by Rockztar: "Watson is moving out of 221B, write a 221B about this"
[A 221B is a oneshot that is exactly 221 words and the last word begins with the letter B.]
As if it wasn't bad enough that he was moving out of 221B, he had to pack up all of his things and get them ready to be moved to the new house. Unfortunately, that meant that he would have to find his belongings before he would be able to pack them. He stared at the front room that he shared with Holmes with a feeling of dismay. As typical as ever, Holmes had felt no need to clean up after himself and the flat was in shambles; Watson was fairly certain that the flat was actually worse off than normal.
"Holmes!" he called out, attempting to wade through a large stack of papers. "Holmes, this mess of yours is completely intolerable."
"You've never complained about it before," said Holmes dryly from his preferred chair.
Watson chose not to touch that remark. "Holmes, how in the world do you expect me to locate my possessions when the room is in this state?"
Holmes raised an eyebrow and traced his lips with the stem of the pipe, looking expectantly at him.
Watson shook his head. "Would that be jealousy, Holmes?"
The man shrugged. "That's one way of putting it. In any case, your Mrs. Watson will thank me."
"How's that?"
He chuckled. "Why, Watson! Wherever would she store all of your belongings?"

This is a reconstruction of a crash involving a stationary Ford Falcon XT sedan being struck in the driver's door by another vehicle travelling at 50 km/h.
[One millisecond equals 1/1000th of a second.]
- 0 milliseconds - An external object touches the driver's door.
- 1 ms - The car's door pressure sensor detects a pressure wave.
- 2 ms - An acceleration sensor in the C-pillar behind the rear door also detects a crash event.
- 2.5 ms - A sensor in the car's centre detects crash vibrations.
- 5 ms - Car's crash computer checks for insignificant crash events, such as a shopping trolley impact or incidental contact. It is still working out the severity of the crash. Door intrusion structure begins to absorb energy.
- 6.5 ms - Door pressure sensor registers peak pressures.
- 7 ms - Crash computer confirms a serious crash and calculates its actions.
- 8 ms - Computer sends a "fire" signal to side airbag. Meanwhile, B-pillar begins to crumple inwards and energy begins to transfer into cross-car load path beneath the occupant.
- 8.5 ms - Side airbag system fires.
- 15 ms - Roof begins to absorb part of the impact. Airbag bursts through seat foam and begins to fill.
- 17 ms - Cross-car load path and structure under rear seat reach maximum load.
- Airbag covers occupant's chest and begins to push the shoulder away from impact zone.
- 20 ms - Door and B-pillar begin to push on front seat. Airbag begins to push occupant's chest away from the impact.
- 27 ms - Impact velocity has halved from 50 km/h to 23.5 km/h. A "pusher block" in the seat moves occupant's pelvis away from impact zone. Airbag starts controlled deflation.
- 30 ms - The Falcon has absorbed all crash energy. Airbag remains in place. For a brief moment, occupant experiences maximum force equal to 12 times the force of gravity.
- 45 ms - Occupant and airbag move together with deforming side structure.
- 50 ms - Crash computer unlocks car's doors. Passenger safety cell begins to rebound, pushing doors away from occupant.
- 70 ms - Airbag continues to deflate. Occupant moves back towards middle of car. Engineers classify crash as "complete".
- 150-300 ms - Occupant becomes aware of collision.
