Fodor's Expert Review Smugglers Cove

Wasawasa Rd.,, Nadi, Viti Levu, Fiji

"Smugglers" captures the twenty- to fortysomething set with American hotel-style amenities, a large dorm, and a host of facilities. Rooms are clean and sensible, though don't expect a view worth mentioning unless it's from an "Oceanfront Suite." A family suite on the top floor sleeps five and has a full kitchen. A girls-only dorm, a small private dorm, and an extremely tight 34-bed dorm rounds out the sleeping options. The restaurant draws guests from neighboring hotels with its eclectic selection of mostly American and Asian standards; there's a cheaper bar menu. Kayaks and volleyball are available on the hammock-dotted beach, which borders Aquarius Fiji's. Nightowls should be warned that the bar closes at 11.

PROS

  • well-equipped rooms
