What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Denarau Beach offers beautiful sunset views and serves as a convenient hub for island hopping. While many praise the friendly staff and dining experiences, particularly breakfast, some visitors have noted inconsistencies in food quality at certain establishments. The resort access can be a drawback for those not staying on the island.
"Breakfast buffet was good - I chose this restaurant (out of 3 in the Hilton property because there are no kids)β¦ since I had a great experience with Percy my server - I decided to return for lunch!
Unfortunately lunch a la Carter was poor β¦ I ordered the salmon cakes to find out perhaps a minuscule piece of salmon smaller than my nail sparse in leaps of mashed potatoe - I sent it back.
My second choice was ceviche with frozen fish and prawns β¦ what a bad experience!
My third and final choice was chicken wings which was acceptable and tasty"
