REVIEW - Fiji Shangri-La Review for families with kids (or anyone really)

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.

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!

[@vandoreviews]

You know that’s exactly what experience I had as well prior to my trip when sussing out the options. Glad it helped and hope you have a great holiday!

[@vwkris]

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 🙌🏼

[@nikkiali7113]

Lived on this resort for 9 yrs!!! Dad had a good job here in the 90's

[@newzealandhua3010]

2:08 we stayed in December 19 exact same room 😂 that bathroom door was hard to open/close amazing place to stay love the staff and food not to mention the water ! Awesome review mate see you at the bilo bar ;)

[@madrx2]

2:14 unlucky with the closed captioning hahahaha thanks for the no nonsense review. Really enjoyed watching it

[@vandoreviews]

That really made me laugh! I didn’t realise that until just now

[@madrx2]

@@vandoreviews It's not real good with our Ozzie accents. 😂

[@jenniferwhichelo4787]

This was an awesome review. Love your commentary!

[@hannahduke1]

Absolutely fantastic, so helpful, thank you for posting this (and thanks for the few laughs along the way). It gave me a much better idea of what I was booking, where everything was placed and made me feel more confident about my decision :)

[@vandoreviews]

Glad I could help! Have a great holiday, I wish I going back there too

[@OldBoothy]

Great video, short & informative!

[@SamirWakim]

Awesome review mate. Thanks heaps. It's really helped my wife and I with our decision to book our holiday there. Cheers.

[@vandoreviews]

Thanks, enjoy the holiday!

[@SamirWakim]

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.

[@SamirWakim]

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

[@rrvonschill3544]

Now that's the type of reviews I've been looking for. Thank you for that. I never would have considered this resort til now. There is so many and as you said, not detailed info. They all look the same on paper. Thank you

[@vandoreviews]

Thanks a lot, glad it helped. Enjoy Fiji!

[@Stllno]

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.

[@MrRamyon74]

Thanks mate, I've been looking for a place for our family trip ( adult kids though)...This looks a like great option!

[@vandoreviews]

Can’t go wrong, it’s such a great part of the world, enjoy!

[@oliviawhittam6166]

It will be a year since I've been there on the 15th of july this year, i miss it so much and cant wait to go back!!

[@DTBiscuits]

That BI-LO bar joke is very, very underappreciated in this comment section.

[@vandoreviews]

From a powerful Indie supermarket chain, to a Coles Stooge and now just a tiny bar on the south coast of Fiji, how the mighty have fallen

[@DTBiscuits]

@@vandoreviews Fallen ? I'd say it's a rather nice retirement spot for an unappreciated and forgotten provider of life sustaining, budget products. BI LO , retire HIGH. Well done BI LO. 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.

[@vandoreviews]

@@DTBiscuits Actually that's true, BI-LO had it all worked out! I'll never forget the time we first went to the Fern Tree Gully outlet, I think when it swapped from a Franklins, and were blown away at the modest pricing

[@naleshreddy1]

Awsome review and funny af

[@ricoperillo4120]

Remember going on holidays here when we're kids every August holidays when it was the Fijian hotel great place,

[@meghead]

Thanks i could never decide and will save your video for when im ready to book next year. liked and subscribed :)

[@vandoreviews]

Thanks so much Meg. Happy planning and enjoy Fiji!

[@keithmyles7086]

Great video! We were going to Musket Cove but now we're confused!

[@vandoreviews]

It's a great resort, but hey..it's Fiji, you can't go wrong!

[@jarrodd3848]

This was perfect, funny dude too

[@sheenaghbrown1669]

I’m late yet I just found this video! We are going in October and it looks amazing! 💕 Who was the nanny you had?

[@vandoreviews]

Enjoy, I wish I was going back too! The nanny we had was Lulu but there are a lot of nannys available and they all seem to have a relaxed aura about them with years of experience.

[@sheenaghbrown1669]

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! 🙏

[@craigbentley906]

Good work mate!! Looking forwards to our stay even more now. Did you check out the golf course at all ⛳

[@vandoreviews]

Enjoy! Not really, just a passing glance. It looked more ‘relaxed resort style’ than championship quality but I could be wrong

[@craigbentley906]

Thanks for the feedback 👍😎

[@amymarie8358]

Fantastic review thank you! Is the snorkelling any good?

[@gurya]

Great video thanks

[@rishamani9981]

Omg 😆 I went there in December 2019😳

[@stuartmacleod9432]

Thanks for the video, if you pay for a room including meals, can you dine at all the restaurants?

[@vandoreviews]

That was the package that we bought, pretty much ate ourselves stupid. There may have been a couple that we paid for, I can't recall? There's different deals you can look at.

[@jillbrown8385]

Code brown 🤣🤣🤣

[@roxhelen8362]

who is here watching this video after seeing the tonga volcano erruption? 😱
