Info
Summary of reviewsFirst Landing Beach Resort & Villas offers a serene and picturesque escape marked by its prime beachfront location and exceptional staff. Set against a backdrop of stunning sea views and vibrant sunsets, this resort provides a tranquil environment away from the bustle of town life, making it an excellent choice for relaxation. Guests appreciate its strategic location between Nadi and Lautoka Wharf, which is convenient for those traveling through Nadi Airport and exploring nearby attractions like Vuda Marina.

The resort's accommodations receive mixed feedback; however, the newer villas with private pools and kitchen facilities are particularly praised for their spaciousness, comfort and cleanliness. Rooms with beach views, air conditioning and large spa baths add to the allure, though some older accommodations might benefit from updates and better maintenance. Despite these occasional lapses, the overall sentiment is positive with excellent value for money, especially in the newer rooms.

Dining at First Landing Beach Resort & Villas garners high marks for quality and variety. The dinner menu, featuring Fijian, Indian and Western cuisine, is well-received with themed dinner nights and special events being particular highlights. While some guests find the food a bit pricey and repetitive, the overall experience is enhanced by the friendly and hospitable staff. Breakfast, although praised for items like Eggs Benedict and fresh fruit juices, receives mixed reviews regarding variety and consistency.

The resort's cleanliness is generally commendable with beautiful gardens and well-maintained facilities, though some areas, such as bathrooms and spa facilities, would benefit from better upkeep. The pool area, including the main pool and private pools in the villas, is well-regarded, providing a refreshing and enjoyable experience for guests. However, maintenance issues, such as leaves and bugs, have been noted.

The beach experience at First Landing Beach Resort & Villas is varied. While many guests enjoy the beautiful views and peaceful setting, others find the shore less appealing due to rocks and corals, especially at low tide. Despite this, the beachfront location remains a significant draw, complemented by the availability of day trips to nearby islands for an enhanced beach experience.

Families find the resort particularly accommodating with spacious villas, a kids club and a range of activities ensuring a fulfilling stay for all ages. The staff's exceptional service and attentiveness add to the overall positive experience, making the resort a great option for family vacations.

Lastly, while the free Wi-Fi is appreciated, it tends to be slow and unreliable, particularly in the beachfront huts and outdoor restaurant. This minor inconvenience is often outweighed by the resort's relaxing ambiance and beautiful views, making it a worthwhile destination for those seeking a peaceful retreat. The overall welcoming atmosphere, complemented by the dedicated and friendly staff, ensures that guests feel right at home during their stay at First Landing Beach Resort & Villas.

Location
First Landing Beach Resort & Villas boasts a prime location that has been widely praised by its guests. This beautiful resort is situated right in front of the sea, providing great views and a peaceful, natural environment that exudes a casual vibe. It's conveniently set in a lovely park by the seaside and adjacent to a swimmable beach, making it an excellent spot for relaxation.

The resort's remote setting adds to its tranquility, offering a quiet escape away from the hustle and bustle of town life. Despite being a bit out of the way from Nadi and requiring a taxi to get around, its strategic position midway between Nadi and Lautoka Wharf makes it a desirable destination. Guests appreciated the proximity to the Vuda Marina and found it a convenient choice for those flying in through Nadi Airport.

With breathtaking sunsets and a beach teeming with vibrant sea life, the location truly stands out. Whether looking out to sea from the bungalows or taking a short trip to Lautoka, the resort offers a dreamy and picturesque setting. Visitors highlighted the peaceful old-world charm, the friendly and helpful staff and the overall excellent service as key elements that enhanced their stay. For anyone seeking a serene getaway with amazing hospitality on the main island, First Landing Beach Resort & Villas is a highly recommended destination.

Breakfast
The breakfast experience at First Landing Beach Resort & Villas received a mix of feedback from guests. Many praised the quality of the breakfast, describing it as quite nice and good value for money. Specific highlights included the Eggs Benedict and the selection of fresh fruit juices, as well as the complimentary cooked breakfast. The setting and location were also noted as positive aspects.

However, some guests felt that there could be improvements. Comments mentioned that the variety at the breakfast buffet was limited and that certain items, like toasters, needed servicing. Others found the breakfast options meager and noted that additional, more substantial items came at an extra cost.

Despite these areas for improvement, there were positive mentions of the all-day breakfast, the natural and lovely fruits and the overall good quality of meals, particularly the seafood dishes. The wonderful staff at breakfast also contributed to a pleasant dining experience for many guests.

Dinner
First Landing Beach Resort & Villas offers an impressive dining experience with many guests praising the quality and variety of dishes available for dinner. The food is described as lovely, delicious and well-presented with an extensive menu that caters to a range of tastes, including Fijian, Indian and Western cuisine. Guests particularly enjoyed the themed dinner nights and special events, such as the fantastic New Year's Eve buffet. Staff and service receive high marks for their friendliness and hospitality, enhancing the overall dining experience.

Though some found the food a bit pricey and noted repetition in the menu for lunch and dinner, the general consensus is that the meals are of good quality and quantity. The resort's bar also offers good food and cocktails at reasonable prices. In summary, First Landing Beach Resort & Villas delivers a satisfying and varied culinary experience with excellent service to match.

Rooms
The rooms at First Landing Beach Resort & Villas come with mixed reviews, highlighting both positive aspects and areas in need of improvement. Many guests praised the spaciousness, comfort and cleanliness of the accommodations. The newer rooms with their own pool and kitchen facilities were particularly appreciated, as well as the bungalows set in tropical forest settings, offering a quiet and relaxing environment.

Rooms with beach views were also favored for their lovely outlook and amenities such as air conditioning and large spa baths were noted to enhance the comfort of the stay. Guests often found the rooms well-equipped, airy and providing good privacy.

However, some elements of the resort's rooms did not meet expectations. There were mentions of several accommodations being dated, basic or in need of updating. Some areas showed signs of age and wear, such as the Bure and older villas, which occasionally had issues like non-functioning jet spa tubs or a musty smell. Despite this, the overall sentiment is that the resort offers good value for money, particularly in its larger and more modern rooms.

The balance between newer, well-maintained facilities and older, more run-down areas highlights a varied experience, suggesting a level of inconsistency in the room conditions at the resort.

Beds
The beds at First Landing Beach Resort & Villas offer a mix of experiences with many guests finding them comfortable and featuring nice authentic touches. There are mentions of large, comfy beds that enhance the stay for some visitors. However, there are also reports of beds being either too hard or too soft and a few guests pointed out uncomfortable experiences over prolonged stays. Additionally, some issues were noted with bed cleanliness and maintenance, such as dirty bed sheets, an old mattress and bedding and ants found on the bed after cleaning. Moreover, some rooms lacked a TV and had poor, intermittent WiFi, which might not be ideal for those seeking modern amenities. Despite these drawbacks, the overall comfort, especially in garden bure accommodations with bar fridges and air conditioning, was appreciated by several guests.

Cleanliness
First Landing Beach Resort & Villas receives mixed feedback regarding its cleanliness. On the positive side, many guests describe the resort as extremely clean with beautiful gardens and well-maintained facilities. Clean, spacious and well-presented rooms are highlighted and special touches like messages with flowers on the bed are appreciated. Guests also note a very clean and comfortable environment, both in the rooms and the communal areas.

However, there are notable issues. Several reviews point out that some rooms are dark, tired and require better maintenance with specific mentions of dirty bathrooms and old, dirty spa facilities. The cleanliness of the pool area is also questionable with reports of leaves, bugs and an ant problem. The aging facility, combined with a marina affecting sea clarity, detracts from the overall appeal. There are mentions of low standards of cleanliness in some parts, including musty smells at reception and unappealing furniture in the restaurant. Additionally, roaches and mosquitoes have been noted as problems in certain rooms and occasional lapses in housekeeping standards are reported.

In summary, while the resort has commendable aspects of cleanliness and a generally positive environment, improvements are needed in room maintenance and some public areas to meet guests' expectations consistently.

Staff
First Landing Beach Resort & Villas boasts an exceptionally dedicated staff that consistently garners high praise from guests. Described as friendly, helpful and respectful, the hospitality team creates a welcoming atmosphere that many find comparable to familial warmth. Their eagerness to assist and ability to make one feel at home is frequently highlighted. Phrases like amazing, wonderful and fantastic repeatedly surface in reviews, attesting to their outstanding service.

The team's amiable nature contributes significantly to the overall experience, complementing the beautiful accommodation and great food perfectly. Guests are particularly touched by the staff’s willingness to go out of their way to ensure comfort and satisfaction, making it clear that excellent service is a cornerstone of the resort. Specific mentions, such as praise for a doorman named Abraham, add a personal touch, reflecting the genuine connections formed between the staff and guests.

Overall, the consistent positivity surrounding the staff at First Landing Beach Resort & Villas underlines the exceptional service culture, making it a standout feature alongside its picturesque setting and amenities.

Wi-Fi
First Landing Beach Resort & Villas presents a picturesque and serene setting, ideal for those seeking a tranquil escape. However, guests have noted that the Wi-Fi service at the resort could greatly benefit from improvements. While free Wi-Fi is available, it tends to work intermittently and can be quite slow. It is more reliable around the bar and pool areas, but doesn't extend well to the beach front huts or the outdoor restaurant. Additionally, the connection can become choppy or completely unusable during rainy weather. Despite these connectivity issues, the resort's beautiful views and relaxing ambiance may well outweigh the inconvenience of less-than-ideal internet access for those looking to disconnect and unwind.

Pool
First Landing Beach Resort & Villas boasts an impressive variety of swimming options that guests consistently praise. The main pool is often described as fantastic, lovely, refreshing and great for families. It is spacious, clean and beautifully maintained, providing plenty of sunbeds for guests to lounge and relax. Many visitors highlight the availability of private pools with some of the new villas, which add an additional layer of luxury and privacy. These private pools are spacious and contribute positively to the overall guest experience.

The main pool area is noted for being gorgeous, providing easy beach access and sufficient shade, which adds to the comfort of the guests. There is, however, a note about the main pool not being particularly suitable for very young children due to its depth. While the outdoor swimming pool is generally praised, there were some observations about maintenance needs.

Overall, the pool facilities at First Landing Beach Resort & Villas are well-regarded, providing a relaxing and enjoyable experience that complements the resort's excellent location and amenities.

Beach
The beach at First Landing Beach Resort & Villas offers mixed experiences according to guest reviews. Many appreciated the beautiful views and sunsets from the beach, calling it a gorgeous and great strip of sand that is perfect for quiet relaxation. The beachfront location is seen as a major advantage, making the villas particularly appealing. However, not all feedback was positive. Some guests described the beach as ugly and almost nonexistent due to the tides with the shore being full of rocks and corals, making it difficult to use, especially at low tide. While beach play is possible during high tide, the pool onsite compensates for times when the beach isn't as inviting. Day trips to nearby Beachcomber Island were a highlight for many, offering an alternative beach experience. Despite the mixed reviews, the relaxing beachfront setting and stunning views remain a significant draw for visitors.

Family
If planning a family vacation, First Landing Beach Resort & Villas could be an ideal choice. The resort has a strong reputation for being family-friendly and oriented toward creating a welcoming environment for all ages. Families can enjoy a variety of room options, including spacious villas with private pools and beachfront access, allowing everyone to feel comfortable.

Situated in beautiful tropical gardens, the resort offers a peaceful and less crowded setting, making it suitable for budget-conscious families. Guests consistently note the abundance of activities for children, including a well-managed kids club with flexible options for engagement.

The resort's staff are praised for their excellent interaction with children and their helpfulness in arranging family tours, adding to the overall positive experience. For those in need of specular requirements, the resort also provides disable access, ensuring every family member can participate in the vacation.

Overall, First Landing Beach Resort & Villas is repeatedly described as a fantastic place for families, providing a genuine, family-friendly atmosphere with plenty of opportunities for memorable experiences.

Beachfront
First Landing Beach Resort & Villas offers a serene beachfront experience that sets it apart from the typical concrete jungle resorts.
