Pretty basic, clean, pleasant hotel on a decent beach. Reasonably priced for Fiji and very convenient to the airport. Many surfers and backpackers, so noisy at night, but fun if you're into socializing. Food was just ok, and service was really slow.

Smugglers Cove is laidback, full of young people and has an on-site restaurant. It was our last night in Fiji and after seeing some amazing beaches, the one in front of Smugglers was a little underwhelming, but still nice and swimmable. The room is outfitted with a fridge and tea kettle and had great air conditioning. I wouldn’t have wanted to spend our whole vacation there but it is great for a first or last night because it’s close to the airport.

Decent property right on Wailoaloa Beach. Just make sure that the hotel has your booking dates correct. Expect to wait about an hour after your flight arrives (if early in the morning) for the airport transfer van, and keep an eye out for it as the driver will not come out or have a sign with your name.

....We reached the hotel at 1.00pm, the reception said normal check-in time is 2pm. We came back at 3pm they said the room not ready will take half an hour..we waited and finally got check in at 4pm..which was very frustrating as we drove all the way from Suva.
..Sunset sweet was good the beds were comfortable but in the hall and kitchen area there were cockroaches
..parking facility very very poor as only 2 slots and if thats full then we park outside which is not safe

The staff were without fail kind and helpful; I loved them. The room was decently equipped and sparkling clean, and the air conditioning worked well, which was essential in 33 degree heat. The restaurant was better for dinner than for breakfast, not gourmet food but adequate, and decent value, I thought.
The hotel is beachfront and there are about eight loungers on the seawall platform above the beach. Plenty of seating in the pool/outdoor restaurant area; enough shade most of the day. The beach and water are clean and the view is nice. It's not the white-sand coral beach you might think of with Fiji, but it's a scenic bay, good for walking when the weather is cool, and good sunset views. There are a few other resort/hotel/BnB facilities along Wailoaloa Beach, but it wasn't crowded when I was there. They have a few sit-on-top kayaks for guest use too. Pool is small but pristine.
My only real issue is that the location, while convenient to the airport and right on the beach, isn't convenient to much else. There's a currency exchange where the clerk will try and sell you a massage for "local rate," a truly terrible coffee/food stand across the street, and an okay cafe and convenience store a long block away. To get to snorkel trips and other attractions, or even to the Nadi Town, it's a long taxi or bus ride (no aircon in buses but cheap).
Overall a comfortable, welcoming place for budget to mid-range travel. Would stay for in and out of airport, then get out of Nadi!

The room was clean, the bed was ok. The room was small and basic as you’d expect from a 3 star place. Adequate for a one night stay before flying home.
