On the plus side this is a great location and the place is very clean, plus food was good. The staff were friendly but could have been more attentive, and too much loud music spoiled the atmosphere ( this was more for the staff than the customers). The resort needs some maintenance, particularly the deck around the pool which is a safety risk it is so rotten. We wouldn’t bother going back.

Service and staff were excellent, great quiet resort away from the large hotels. Food was top class, however some parts of the resort are looking tired. eg: Pool decking, path lighting , and the dirt road in ( would be a challenge in the rain.)

Excellent Staff Talitha Scooby and Mereehi, nothing a problem, food is fabulous, beach is fabulous, place could do with a bit of TLC

Amazing hideaway in the Fijian jungle with lovely staff and hospitality. The units could have done with a little sprucing up though, but was comfortable and enjoyable.

This was the 3rd time that we had stayed at the Wellesley. It is the perfect place to just sit, relax and unwind and start our holiday off. It is a hidden paradise, with a tropical atmosphere. It is a bit out of the way from the hustle and bustle, but if you are just after some peace and quiet, this is the place to go. We last visited the Wellesley about 4 years ago and on our last visit it needed a lot of TLC and repairs and therefore we had decided not to return. When looking on the internet, we saw a lot of improvements had been made and some rooms even had their own plunge pools, so we decided to give it a go once again. We were not disappointed and learnt that it now has new management. The food was beautiful and the staff very helpful and friendly. Congratulations to all involved for improving this little piece of paradise in Fiji.

Nice and quiet, lovely beach with chairs on a deck, great gardens, nice restaurant, free breakfast was lovely, rooms very clean and well presented, great place for some down time away from Your phone. Wifi only in restaurant area.

This is paradise itself for people who want beautiful natural surroundings in a small resort, with excellent staff who cannot do enough to ensure customers have a fabulous stay. Everything about it is gorgeous. THANKYOU The Wellesley Resort!

The staff were great and made a big effort to make your stay perfect for you. Friendly and warm people who seemed too very much enjoy their jobs. Loved being able to walk down to the beach swim and snorkel straight from the resort. Spectacular snorkelling at such a short distance offshore.

This resort is very quiet with only 16 rooms and not next to any other establishments. It’s a 2 hour drive from the airport - I suggest sticking near Port Denaurau to get the most of your holiday and if you like a bit more of a social scene. The resort does offer free airport pick-ups, but they were 45min late which made us nervous. The driver was very nice though and the car was comfortable. Rooms are large and comfortable with A/C and loved the outdoor shower. Wi-go doesn’t reach the rooms, but is good in the common areas. Food was amazing every single meal. Kayaks are a bit sketchy... pool is a bit dated. Recommend going on the hill walk through the village. Instead of paying $75 pp for return transport to airport, consider taking the express bus (nice charter bus) from the main road ($10 one way) - hotel will organize drop-off for you (3min drive)

Wellesley Resort is delightful - it is out of the way, private, quiet and beautiful. The rooms are comfortable and well set out. The staff were attentive and friendly. With a short walk to the beach where you can snorkel among the colourful tropical fish, it's just the place for having a much needed rest from the busy-ness of life.

Great location! Beach is beautiful & snorkelling was fantastic. Staff were lovely and very welcoming. Facilities were a let down, need other things to do other than just beach or pool.

We needed a quick sunny getaway which we booked last minute. We found a gem in Wellesley Resort. It was quiet, out of the way and very relaxing. The property needs a little attention, especially the decking around the pool and beachfront but overall it's a wonderful place to relax. The highlight of our stay was the staff at the resort. What a wonderful group of people. Very welcoming and friendly. Mere, the Manager made us feel at home from the start. Then we met the smiling faces of the lovely Mereani and Sekove (Scobie) the wonderful bar and restaurant staff, nothing was too much trouble for them. Naca and Raj cooked up a storm all week and produced lovely local and international dishes. Mili was the ever smiling housekeeper (helped by Scobie when he wasn't tending bar!) We can't forget Sabir, the always grinning and chatty grounds keeper. Then there was Ratu Sela, the Chief, who ended up being our driver on many an occasion and was a man of much wisdom and humour. It was a pleasure to meet you all, you make the Wellesley Resort a place of rest and relaxation. Vinaka vaka levu. Louise & Stu

The resort is calm and quiet perfect for relaxing. We had a bit of trouble connecting to the WiFi as our phones would not work but the staff were more than happy to help. If you are prone to being bitten by mosquitoes then make sure you take some very strong spray as we had 2 very good sprays and I still walked away with a lot of bites!

Had a great three-day stay here. While the weather didn't cooperate (cyclone hit on our second day) we still enjoyed the services of the friendly staff and the comfort of our room. The room was huge with a seating area, soft bed, fridge, large sink area and bathroom. While some areas of the room showed their age and the effects of tropical weather it was very comfortable and relaxing. The meals we had at the restaurant were all fantastic and prices were very reasonable. There's a nice big pool with comfy loungers and another lounging area down at the beach. There's nowhere close to walk as far as shops and such so bring your own snacks if you want. Really loved this place.

The most amazing location - tucked away in the midst of hilly rainforest splendour. Food was fab (Eggs Bene are a must have), staff friendly & smiling. Room facilities were a little tired but clean, comfortable & serviced every day & the pool & surrounding gardens are tropical tranquil at its best. We hired a car to explore surrounding areas but ended up spending the entire week relaxing in the resort. A lovely stay.

We had an amazing time at the Wellesley. Couldn't fault it. The rooms were stunning - we got a tour through all of them as we are going to use this resort for our wedding. They are so well priced! The food was super, the staff were so attentive. They were so kind and caring. We loved lounging by the huge pool and bobbing up and down in the crystal clear lagoon. Evening cocktails on the beach bar deck were so romantic. We can't wait to come back

- to get there from Nadi airport we took an airport taxi for 150FD as we thought this cheaper than the hotel offered service (160FD), which was about 2.5-3 hours long because unfortunately our taxi driver got lost- track to the resort from the main road ~5-10 minute careful drive as quite rough, both our taxi drivers complained bitterly about this- secluded spot - absolutely beautiful scenery - lush forests, palm and coconut trees, colourful flowers, with a beautiful clean pool, sun loungers, short stroll to the beach- our room was an executive suite, which was comfortable, well equipped and clean, served our purposes perfectly- food was delicious - good range offered considering the small kitchen, with a lot of fresh fruit and Fijian produce. Several couples, including us, became unwell with D+V (I suspect a virus rather than unhygienic food prep)- some activities offered - one kayak had missing paddle so only one useable, reasonable snorkelling gear, swimming, organised walks from the gardener Sabir - hill top walk with views, Mangrove walk, coconut tasting etc- You can go along the beach 5 minutes to Crusoe resort to organise scuba diving and on the way encounter the local village with a shop of souvenirs and locals who will organise half day trips to a nearby waterfall, village tours, meals and snacks - very friendly people who are making the most of tourist trade which seems reasonable to me - but be aware you may spend more than the experience is worth

don't buy the meal package, that is not including beverage and not much choice for the food. and the waitress for the morning and lunch seems not welcome for the meal package guests. also the meal package is more expensive

The staff is very friendly and helpful.Local village people are very kind and welcoming.

DO NOT GO TO THIS HOTEL!! Every thing advertised is not correct. We booked in for a eight day stay and left after one night. We were not asked why. We were not given any refund. The air con was not working. The fridge was not cold. Shower outside and very dirty. No lock on door. Very limited menu at the one small resturant. No aircon. Power was out three times within eight hours. Rgs Jenny!!!!

The hotel is located a long way from the airport and it took 2 long hours to get to it.The resort picked up transfer from the Airport but the return charge to the airport was charged against us..We booked excusions as per the brochures and the hotel took their % but really did nothing.Every excusion would mean another standard taxi fare charge by the resort.The ride would be in cars belonging to the resort or supplied by the hotel staff.(so not new!) The showers had mildew in them and there was a huge whole in the restraurant ceiling that had been there since at least January. The food was good and the grounds well groomed.Only a few guests were staying at the hotel. Beautiful scenic location.
