  • Review of the Shangri-La's Fijian Resort & Spa on Yanuca Island. Answers all your Fiji holiday questions - pools, restaurants, kids club, bad volleyballers etc - especially if you have kids. And it has a map at the very end, because I sure couldn't find a proper one when I was looking for it online.

    Went here a few years ago with my parents/family, looking to go back and it still looks as beautiful when I went as a kid!
    Thanks for the awesome review 🙌🏼

    This is a great video! I was thinking of booking my family here but it is very difficult to get a real feel for the resort by just looking at the website. Your walkabout with the video has convinced me. The vibe looks great! Thank you so much!

    This place looks great and will likely book a week there soon. Going for the ‘all inclusive’ option which includes all meals, beverages etc.
    As a Club Med fanatic this place looks very similar - especially the all inclusive option which is what Club Med offers at all their resorts, unfortunately they don’t have one in the South Pacific (anymore) but we are going back to CM Bali later this year.

      jodeofoz the resort was fantastic. We actually recieved a free room upgrade to a ocean front suite. Food was amazing, and the people were amazing. Definitely recommended by my wife and I. And our 16month old are for free the entire trip.

      jodeofoz they do. To be honest though... if you have a little extra $$ to spend... go to Hawaii! So much more to do!

      I hope you don’t mind. I shared it to the Shangri-la Fiji page as there are so many people traveling there asking questions about rooms, food and the kids club. Your video showed everything and I thought it would help the others as it did me! 🙏

      It was actually a Mongolian BBQ hut in the early 90's when I went there as a kid, and we seemed to be the only ones who knew about it.
