I contacted the hotel... and confirmed there is a kids club for 4-12 years old - complimentary (per the communication from the hotel). The kids club also shows up as a benefit in some of the room rates (Family package)

I just contacted the hotel... and confirmed that Platinum members get two free breakfasts per room, there is no lounge, and there is a complimentary kids club for 4-12 years old.

And based on that, I just made a reservation for a week in late August... 160,000 points for a 5 night category 8 stay... I trust it is worth it !

Stayed here for 4 nights last week. As a Platinum, I was upgraded from "Deluxe Lagoon View" to "Oceanfront Duplex Bure". There is no Executive Lounge; however, Platinums receive complimentary breakfast (for up to 2) in the Goji Restaurant; Plats also receive a 20% discount on all food & beverage purchases.

My oceanfront Bure was just about the furthest from the reception/ restaurant, making for a 10-minute walk; however, there are frequent golf carts passing by or you can call and request one if needed.

The staff were genuinely friendly, but there were some teething pains evident, especially during busy breakfast rush and the lengthy queues to check in and out. I also had several irregularities on my bill, so best to scrutinize before you depart.

The resort is pretty isolated and therefore options to dine elsewhere would require a much longer (40 min) drive than from Denaru Island resorts. That said, the resort captures the Fijian "Bula" vibe perfectly and I found that I was able to totally relax. It's very quiet and their is good separation from the "child- friendly" and "adult only" portions.

I would return in a heartbeat...

Anyone know if Marriott Gold's get free breakfast also in this resort ?

Thanks

Also - in addition to my above question - a bit confused re the overwater bures - I saw somewhere it says no under 18's, but on the room description it allows an option of a cot bed ??!!!

Can you have a baby in a cot in all room types ?

Thanks

Best to contact the property directly (via Skype if your cell phone package doesn't cover int'l) & ask. Then please report back.

Cheers.

Anybody stayed in their over the water bures? Does the room have any glass bottoms inside to view the lagoon waters from within?

also, anyone been able to use points to book a regular room, and pay extra to upgrade to the bures?

i stayed last month, a beautiful room. it doesnt have glass floor but behind the bed and along the entry there are small raised areas where you can view the water through glass.
It was nice but if you seek privacy, I would lean toward an Ocean Front Bure instead.

Also curious about upgrades and breakfast for golds...anyone have experience?

I’m currently on site, and can confirm that the fre breakfast for two in Gogi and 20% discount on all food and beverage applies to Gold elites as well. This was a pleasant surprise, and I thought this was only offered to Plats.

Also received a bottle of bubbly in room and invitation to a cocktail reception with the GM.

So far, our stay has been wonderful. Service has been great with exception of a few slip ups (forgetting to provide fresh silverware when clearing plates, or bringing a pot of coffee with no mug).

May i ask if you were upgraded as a gold?

Blootch

I booked the Over-water Bure outright. Upon check-in, I was told that "we can't upgrade you, as you already have the highest category room" The letter I received upon check in did reference a complimentary upgrade to premium room pending availability.
