Rainforest Eco Lodge

Le personnel n'aurait pas pu être plus gentil en nous permettant de passer d'une chambre économique la première nuit à un bure calme et charmant pour le reste du séjour entouré de belles plantes tropicales; le ventilateur était plus que suffisant pour nous garder au frais, le lit était super confortable et la chambre avait un réfrigérateur, un évier de cuisine, une salle de bain et une terrasse enveloppante. Notre objectif était de faire de l'observation des oiseaux et nous avons engagé Vili pour nous montrer des oiseaux endémiques pendant 2 matinées. Il nous a également emmenés dans son village, ce qui était un bonus supplémentaire pour en apprendre davantage sur la culture. Les merveilleux membres du personnel Solo et Phee (orthographe) ont eu la gentillesse de nous présenter le kava et ont passé une bonne partie de la soirée à nous parler des coutumes de la cérémonie du kava et à répondre à nos nombreuses questions. Les étangs entourant le lodge et le restaurant ajoutent au charme. Le restaurant adjacent était une grande structure traditionnelle en plein air qui nous donnait l'impression d'être sous les tropiques. Le personnel du restaurant était très sympathique. Le parc Rainforest est accessible à pied et constitue un bon endroit pour observer les oiseaux ou profiter des piscines.

Je séjourne au Raintree par intermittence depuis 2005. Il a traversé des périodes difficiles. Je peux affirmer qu'après mon voyage ce mois-ci, il est de retour au top du jeu ! Raintree propose une gamme d'options allant du budget au tarif "complet" et j'ai séjourné dans chacun d'eux. Je voyage pour affaires et cet endroit est calme mais très proche de toutes les destinations que je dois visiter à Suva. En général, nulle part à Suva n'est à plus de 30 minutes (sauf aux heures de pointe !). Le nouveau personnel est excellent et le format d'entreprise divisé (le restaurant est une unité commerciale différente) a pris une minute ou 2 pour comprendre que le service et la qualité étaient bons. J'ai été attristé de découvrir que le constructeur / propriétaire d'origine, Tom Davis, était décédé l'année dernière, mais s'il regarde de quelque part, il sera heureux qu'il soit entre de bonnes mains!

C'est un bon petit hôtel économique situé dans une magnifique forêt tropicale. Nous avions l'une des chambres les moins chères et la salle de bain était en bas mais la vue depuis la terrasse était incroyable ! Perroquets et autres oiseaux volant juste en face ! Le restaurant a également une vue imprenable mais ils ne semblent pas se rendre compte que les gens viennent ici pour la nature et qu'ils faisaient exploser de la musique pop. Je les ai fait éteindre pendant un moment, ça couvrait le chant des oiseaux !

Me and my friend came to stay for a few nights - a big contrast to a resort stay, in the best way. We stayed in a spacious lodge with air con. We had a view of the lake, on which you can kayak for free! The staff were all very friendly, and the food we enjoyed at the restaurant was delicious. Only a short walk from Colo-I-Suva rainforest park, this accommodation was so peaceful.

We had a warm welcoming, with such a friendly team and under new management! They were more than happy to help us with all our needs. Our only thing was the budget rooms can be noisy, especially during the night. Definitely pack an extra towel for the pool & kayaking! You'll need it! Laundry services are available, which is handy as you don't need to travel to Suva or Nausori. $15 FJD The front desk is open until 8pm at night and carries all your extra essentials you may have forgotten. The 8 pool table works for a bit of fun but needs updating as the wear and tear is obvious. The Establishment Restaurant has a friendly team, they cater breakfast, lunch, and dinner. As well as room service for an additional $5 FJD. Moderately priced, and you can sit on the balcony of the pond and feed the fish. The Eco Lodge dogs are friendly and always appreciate a bite to eat, even if it's just leftovers!! They give amazing company too! There is also a paintball field about 5mins drive towards Nausori if you're looking for some fun with friends! Colo-i-suva waterpool and rainforest walk is about 5mins drive towards Suva. Nausori Markerts are worth a stop too! The biggest markets in the south pacific!! All in all, The Rainforest Eco Lodge is the perfect place to stay in between Nausori & Suva and we would definitely recommend it!!

Great location, close enough to Suva for shopping but secluded enough to relax away from the city. Perfect for access to the rainforest but an equally good spot to watch the rugby when it’s raining. Restaurant staff were wonderful - very friendly and helpful

This place has some of the most serene lookouts into the rainforest, complete with a lily pad pond which our room and balcony overlooked. The restaurant had great coffee and a nice wine selection, the tables also overlook a pond and towering rainforest canopy. We loved waking up to the sounds of tropical birds chirping, the forest sounds were vibrant and soothing. The resort is ideally located next to Colo-i-Suva nature reserve which has great hiking, waterfalls, and natural pools. The staff at the resort were incredibly friendly, helpful, and we experienced superb customer service all round. Lastly, the 2 resort dogs Dobby and Mother made excellent companions!

I cannot recommend this place. I was honestly just thrilled to leave! I think it may have been really nice at some point in the past. It fits into the landscape and the buildings are thoughtfully designed. The ponds are really pretty. And it’s a few minutes walk to the rainforest park. That said, they provide the barest of bare minimums. Nothing beyond the most bare bones accommodation. Yes, there was a bath towel, but no wash clothes, no hand towels. Yes, there was a trash can in the main living area, but none in the bathroom (it’s a small thing but I have stayed at motel 6s that have this!) Want cushions for your chairs? Nope sorry, just bare wicker. Hooks for your clothes, or hangers? No can do! I didn’t get maid service during my stay. It’s like the soup nazi on Seinfeld, but for hotels. I could not get hot water in the shower; on my first day they sent a crew over and I assumed they’d fixed the problem. Next day: no hot water. Again they send someone over to fix it. Next shower: again no hot water. I had resigned myself to cold showers until a small light bulb went off in my head. There is a tiny, unlabeled switch to enable the hot water!! Why, oh why, could someone not have explained this to me? It would have saved them and me a lot of trouble. Also there is a definite funky smell. I imagine it must be difficult given how humid it is in the area, but the bedding and towels all smelled like mildew. The strangest aspect of my stay was the fact that it was completely empty. Like the rapture had happened. But ordering food at the restaurant took eons. I don’t know why, given that I was almost always the only person there. The poolside bar was never, ever open that I saw. I knew it was fairly isolated but assumed with wifi, a poolside bar, and a restaurant, I’d have options when I wanted to relax. This wasn’t really the case. I just felt trapped and was really happy to leave.

The manager is very racists beware before going…………………………………………. You could be treat very uncomfortable I have experience this you should know before going there that the manager is very racist that he think he can be racist toward everyone
