The Hilton on Denarau Island exceeded all of our expectations. My partner and I are used to 5 star beach resorts but were on a budget for this trip so went with the Hilton and we were pleasantly surprised with the quality and location. We had a beachfront studio and it was fabulous; all of the rooms are along the water so it seems hard to get a bad one (unless you select a garden view I guess). The room was well-equipped, surprisingly nice, and comfortable. The pools are great but we spent most of our time on the grass along the beach - it was lovely. Lots of kids and families so we stayed closer to the adults only pool which was great. All of the staff are super friendly and helpful. Our only complaint was how terrible the service was in the restaurants, especially Koro the adults only restaurant. It seemed as though the restaurants were seriously understaffed so we remained patient, but we saw many guests become visibly frustrated with how long everything took and sometimes just being abandoned at the table (this happened to us pretty much every meal throughout our 5 day stay). We found it shocking how rude some guests were as it seemed the staff were trying their best! All in all we would definitely return. Very good value for your money and a wonderful experience.
