The Shangri-La Fijian Resort is the largest resort in Fiji with over 400 rooms and is highly commercial, lacking genuine Fijian hospitality. There's a placid lagoon and two beaches, one small, narrow and crowded, the other of coarse coral sand and usually deserted. The resort has several large restaurants, bars, night entertainment, shopping parades and a games arcades making it by far the most commercial resort in Fiji and popular for cheap package holidays from Australia.

Resort Information
The Shangri-La Fijian Resort, the largest resort in Fiji is aimed primarily at Australian package holiday-makers. Located on a small island connected by bridge to the main Coral Coast highway, the resort stretches along two sides of the island . The Lagoon side is the busiest section with a large family swimming pool, activities centre and has a placid sandy beach good for swimming and snorkelling. The Ocean side has a coarse sand beach and is quieter although not practical for swimming.
The majority of rooms are located in uninspiring 3-storey hotel blocks spread around the property, all set about 50 metres back from the beach facing the ocean or lagoon. All rooms are air-conditioned with ceiling fans, IDD telephone, in-room safe, refrigerator, tea and coffee making facilities, hair dryer, bathrobes, ironing board and private balcony. The resort is divided into three distinct areas, each with its own swimming pool- one of these is dedicated to couples only whilst two are for families, the lagoon rooms being at the heart of the action and the ocean rooms being more secluded.
Family rooms consist of a queen size bed and two single beds with an optional roll-away bed for the third child.
There's a pitch and putt 9-hole golf course, games arcade, all day kids club, large games room with arcade style coin machine games, baby sitting and every conceivable water activity on island including deep water game fishing, parasailing and jet ski rides. The lagoon has a deep sandy bottom ideal for swimming and there are daily excursions to the outer reef for snorkelling and coral viewing. For those getting married, there's a gorgeous chapel in a secluded spot on the island (the wedding package includes a standard photographer at the chapel but for a complete professional service contact Ian Osborn Wedding Photogrpahy)
