The staff are fantastic, friendly and helpful. Meals and drinks are delicious and menu has a great selection. This is not a 5 star resort, but is in a beautiful setting by the bush, quiet and wonderful. Vinaka vaka levu to all the wonderful people who truly made our stay enjoyable.

4/10 Fair

Pros- ez parking, breakfast and dinner we had was very good! Cons- do not go at check in time, according to 1 lady, check is around 2ish,,,,check out is not later than 11 or or get ready to be liberated from your $$$$$ room isnt ready,, we got in at almost 4 after having to leave the place to burn some time. No Wi-Fi as advertised,, even though I asked twice at front desk while checking in, other people had same compliant and 1 of the ladies asked if I had to I can use my own SIM card or buy 1 like she doing me a favor. Rooms too small to accommodate 4
Davindar, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

friendly staff was the main bonus and was enough communal areas for us to make friends with some other families which was great so positives is it has a friendly, relaxed vibe. definitely a place to stay as a base to cut costs in Fiji however, I was disappointed on arrival as the pictures made it look more upscale/better decor than it is. also there are many older reviews which made it hard to know what we were really getting before arriving. breaksfast was great, but dinner really wasn't great and was expensive, although there is an amazing local restaurant down the road, half the price double the portions. TV didn't work - needed to put on DVDs kids pool water colour wasn't great- didn't go in I think pre COVID would have been great where you could go over to Shangri-La. now they don't let people not staying there in it detracts from gecko being a place to stay as you have to go by car to everywhere- nothing else is nearby. there were other beachfront places which were similar prices which it retrospect could have chosen but had gone with the option of going to ShangriLa the cultural night however with dance and fire show was really good. its an ok place to stay if you just want a place to sleep however I think they are rebuilding the cultural village they used to have. once this is up and running again and a few revamps I think it will be a good place to stay at for at least a few nights and definitely does make the budget stretch further in Fiji

Nice place for a two night stay.

Nice place for a two night stay. We used it as a base so to visit the Sigatoka Sand Dunes which are near by as well as a costal drive and inland hike to a water fall and swim. The resort was nice, a bit older with basic but clean accommodations. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The oddest part is the three time per week Polynesian not Fijian dance performance. Guests from the Shangri La Resort come for the free show. The boisterous Aussies and Kiwis seemed to enjoy it. We thought it out of place. The only negative was an odd smell at times that seemed to be from sewage.

A Perfectly Relaxing Stay at Gecko’s Resort, Fiji!

Our time at Gecko’s Resort on Fiji’s Coral Coast was an absolute dream! Nestled on a historic 4.5-acre village site, this boutique resort with only 28 rooms offered the perfect escape for pure relaxation. Just 10 minutes from Sigatoka and 500 meters from the Shangri-La Fijian, it’s ideally located yet feels like a secluded paradise. The accommodations were pristine, cozy, and beautifully accented with Fijian decor, creating a warm and authentic vibe. The expansive grounds were full of tranquil spots to unwind, and I spent hours lounging by the pool with a refreshing cocktail in hand—watching the sunset was an unforgettable highlight. The restaurant was a true gem! The à la carte menu was packed with delicious options, from fresh lobster and seafood to the mouthwatering sizzling eye fillet steak. The Asian cuisine added a fantastic variety, and every dish was flavorful, well-priced, and showcased the best of Fijian and international flavors. The staff’s genuine hospitality made every moment special, and their commitment to sustainability and the local community added a heartfelt touch to the experience. With its intimate size and serene atmosphere, Gecko’s is the ideal spot for anyone seeking a peaceful retreat. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to relax and soak in Fiji’s beauty. Gecko’s Resort is a hidden treasure.

8/10 Very good

Kamer zag er ruim en schoon uit. Hoewel in eerdere recenties naar voren kwam dat men last had van bedwantsen, hebben wij hier in kamer 24 geen last van gehad. Avondeten kunnen we niet over oordelen, aangezien we buiten de deur hebben gegeten. Ontbijt was lekker, maar wel wat chaotisch. Resort was aan de rustige kant, misschien vanwege eerdere negatieve recensies?

we are from Australia, it was my family's first ever resort stay and we totally loved it, they kids loved the pool and the fire and dancing displays. ocean was close 😊🏝 all staff were very polite and helpful. we will definitely be staying again in the future.
Emma, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

We had a lovely stay here, the staff were helpful and the food was great. We spent most of our time out of the resort seeing the sights of the Coral Coast and having day trips at some of the more family centred resorts (Outrigger was incredible for a day trip). This is great budget accommodation, it's clean, food tastes great and is a good size, the fire show is an easy highlight. The pools are not the best, but, they are pools, they were clean and there is two! A heads up if you are wanting to visit some of the more expensive resorts that Shangri-La, across the road from Gecko's was not allowing day visits at the time of our trip and had not for some time - that may change at some stage, but, from what we heard, not likely.

Pool for kids was great. Kula bird park close by for kids activities. If you want other resturants / food/dinning options to whats at the resort then you will have to drive to possibly sigatoka town. However, resorts kitchen has lots of good food options.

there is no tv in rooms though a tv is in there. wifi kept cutting out @ the price of the meals is over the top .

Honestly, the property itself needs some work, there are missing tiles around the pool and mattresses could do with an upgrade. But for value for money and friendlies of staff you can't pass Gecko's. There are 2 fantastic pools, the fire show is fabulous and the food from the restaurant is tasty. Banana pancakes and grilled mahi mahi highly recommended. Nothing is too much trouble for Katalina, Mere, Maria, Abo and Casa, they made us feel so welcome and comfortable, one of the best holidays we've had.
