Uprising Beach Resort

We had a wonderful stay at Uprising! What made it particularly good was the very friendly and helpful staff – especially Moana, Etta and Tave. For us, this resort was perfect as we appreciated the comfortable accommodation in the beachside house, the excellent food in the restaurant, the beautifully landscaped gardens, along with Moana’s and Etta’s valuable help in organizing our activities. When our snorkeling tour could not take place because of weather, Moana, knowing our capabilities and what we wanted, arranged a wonderful river / village / waterfall / tubing tour which we thoroughly enjoyed While we were not looking for luxury facilities, as this is not our style, we were a bit disappointed that many normal maintenance tasks were neglected – cracked tiles, stuck door, broken glass in the pathway. When we reported a broken door latch shortly after we arrived, Cyril repaired it quickly and effectively. For the price we paid, we do expect proper and pro-active maintenance, and we hope that this otherwise wonderful resort will live up to its potential in this respect. Thank you, Uprising staff, for your warm welcome, and your dedication to making our stay so great!

My brother and I booked a week-long stay at the Uprising to scuba dive and explore Fiji. The Uprising and its staff are a true Fijian treasure! We arrived on Thursday just in time for a delicious outdoor dinner, a spectacular sunset, and yes, Island Night, where we were treated to front row seats to an amazing traditional and cultural dance and fire show! The sunsets sitting on the open air deck enjoying delicious cocktails was just amazing every night. The burres are charming, rustic, and ours was just steps away from the beach with beautiful views. It was quiet, peaceful, and the outdoor showers were so cool! We loved the island vibe here, but truly the best part was the caring and friendly staff! Lo and Mili were so very lovely, always greeting us at meals and when we returned from our days of diving and other adventures. Lino, Jone, John, Adi, Ema, Meki and Deta were all just wonderful. We are both vegan, and every day the chef had a special dish just for us! All were simply delicious: vegan blueberry pancakes, yummy fried rice and roasted vegetables, vegan pizza, and wonderful buffets! You truly feel like family when you stay here. The staff helped coordinate our rides to our activities and were so helpful. I left my small day pack in a taxi van and the manager went above and beyond and drove us back to the taxi company to retrieve my pack after hours--that's service!! The grounds are absolutely lush and gorgeous, and everyone is happy to share the history of this beautiful island with the guests, and also help in suggesting fun things to do. We dived everyday--even did the shark dive!, went tubing, took wooden boats up the river to a beautiful waterfall, toured a Fijian village, went zip lining, and explored nearby towns. Fiji is definitely a place you must visit, and you need to stay at the Uprising! We just love this resort and can't wait to return...and to see all our new friends again!

The staff is SOOOO helpful. The vibe is right. The food was fantastic. It was clean. There is a little maintenance needed in the hostel rooms- screens need fixxed and the cubbies / locks could use a refresh, but again- the STAFF! I left me headphones there and they helped me get them back to Nadi. Went way above and beyond. My luggage got delayed on the front end and they were super helpful supporting me. They helped set up a bunch of tours easily. And the kitchen staff was great too.
