Uprising Beach Resort

We stayed in the villas for two nights with our tour group. The villas have a nice terrace looking out on a garden and are very spacious and comfortable with a good bathroom. The light was very dim. I went for a swim in the sea and after that enjoyed to wash off the salt water with another swim in the pool. We ate dinner there one night and my fish was good. There is only Wifi in Reception (and Restaurant?). The bath towels were waiting for us in the room. Breakfast was good.

The restaurant food was not up to par. We ordered the chicken wrap with fries and burger with fries. The chicken wrap was burnt to a crisp. The menu says the wrap contains aioli sauce but there was no sauce on the wrap and the chicken was dry. The burger bun was not even toasted and the bun was soggy. The service was not great. I wouldn't eat at their restaurant again and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else.

I loved the private hut-style rooms and the fire dancing on Sunday night. It seemed like we had the place to ourselves in the morning and then we saw others in the evenings. We loved the hammocks by the beach. Scuba diving was easily accessible by 5 min taxi.

Arrived after a very long journey. We were a group of divers The staff very kind, smiling and trying at all times to solve every problem. A big thank you to Gim who was always has our disposal. We stayed in a villa with garden view x 9 days Lovely garden. Inside the resort there is also a beautiful swimming pool for those who do not want to go to the beach. The Villa very spacious even too much for 2 people in Fijian style. During our holiday in the evening we also had a Fijian show with their dancing and fires. The great restaurant with specific Fijian food. The intercontinental breakfast 👍🏻Excellent Lolo Fish. It was a wonderful 9 days. Great x who like us wants to disconnect from the frantic quotes. Thank you all!!! A big hug🤗

I was very disappointed with my stay at Uprising. Upon arrival, it looked very promising. A beautiful location with some seemingly friendly staff, however that all changed very quickly. My friend I was travelling with was charged $50 to his card when he left his wallet at the bar for less than 3 minutes whilst he went to grab something from the dorm. All of the staff disputed this and said it wasn’t any of them, the Reception staff did look into it in detail to be fair to them, and found there was a discrepancy between their cash up from the night and the card receipts, proving that someone had most likely charged the card and taken the corresponding cash out of the till. The following morning, I had the big breakfast and I cannot believe how poor both the breakfast and service was. First off I ordered a black iced coffee. I do not drink milk nor cream, hence my order. I was brought over what looked like an iced latte. I explained that I wouldn’t be able to drink this as there was obviously milk or cream inside. The waitress took it back over and brought out a near identical drink the second time. It look a lot of discussion and back and forth to finally be served an iced black coffee on the third attempt. Secondly, when the big breakfast arrived, 90% of the items on the plate were stone cold. Cooked yes, but however many hours ago? I do not know. This is a real shame as I was aiming to extend my stay here by an extra 3 days and upgrade my room, however this will now not be happening due to the above and I would like to urge all who are booking here to think twice before they do.
