We have returned to the Uprising after 6 years.
The staff are still genuinely lovely and the place still looks beautiful
But at a closer look, I’d say it needs some TLC.
In our villa, half the light bulbs didn’t work. The outdoor shower crusted with build up. The sliding door handle falling off.
We had a wonderful Lovo traditional evening with live show.
All in all still a good, affordable option in Pacific Harbor

very friendly and accommodating staff helped us with all our issues. the rooms were great, and even bigger than we expected. All very clean and comfortable. big restaurant with lots of choices. the overall venue felt a little more corporate than homely, but if you want a quiet place to be left alone to swim and sit on the beach with lots of space, then it is perfect.

The Villa was clean!! Staff, so helpful & super friendly, from the security guard, receptionists, bar & restaurant staff & the caretakers.

Family-friendly. Children were safe & they had lots of fun!

Air-conditioning was not necessary at this time on account of how breezy it was.

The customer service is top notch. Great staff. The Bare's are quite nice and the dorm could use a little love with the screens / lockers, but overall the Bula Bula vibe is real and the location is amazing- right on the beach - not far to Aquatrek- where I highly recommend the shark diving!

Excellent choice in Pacific Harbour! I just stayed here with a group of 21 university students at the conclusion of a two-week trip around Fiji. The rooms are large, comfortable, and in an attractive setting, and the price point for these rooms is an excellent value. The restaurant/bar/pool area provides a delightful environment for relaxing during the day/evening, plus the various specials that they run every day make for a very affordable stay.
Moana and the staff are very helpful. Prior to our arrival, they assisted me in adjusting my dates with no problem, and also reached out to me via whatsapp to see if our group would like to attend their Thursday Island Night/Fire Show (which we did and thoroughly enjoyed). Throughout our stay the staff was very warm and helpful, and assisted us with any particular needs we had. Uprising is also part of the Duavata collective, which promotes culturally and environmentally sensitive travel across Fiji. This was my first time staying at Uprising, and I am very glad that we did. In the future, I will continue to bring groups here, as it is a great base for the various activities (diving, tubing, golf, fishing, etc.) in the Pacific Harbour/Beqa area). Thank you to Moana and all the staff for providing such a wonderful stay for our group.

This is true and beautiful Fiji. We stayed here ten years ago and couldn’t wait to get back. Our own bure was spacious and immaculate. We have never experienced such a warm and welcoming staff in all of our travels. The place is like staying in a beautiful Fijian village with coconut palms, a great swimming pool, dining room, bar, and beautiful beach with a view of the Beqa island.

The staff were incredibly nice and joyful especially the bar and restaurant staff. The grounds were upkept nicely, and the gardens were beautiful. The restaurant food was always really yum and reasonably priced compared to other resorts and hotels. The only let down was the cleanliness, the bathrooms in the restaurant area were not cleaned the entire time I stayed, and the dormitory I stayed in for half of my stay was very dirty with lots of bugs dead on all the beds. The dormitory also only had fans but out of the four, one was broken, and majority of the charging points were broken. But thankfully I visited in low season and basically had the entire place to myself so was able to move around and it wasn't too hot. Due to the cheap price, good location for shark diving and lovely staff, I would still definitely stay here again.

1st and foremost, the Fijian staff were absolutely amazing. Can never fault them as they are so attentive, happy and always looking to help.
So all the staff were amazing.
But....Its definitely a 3 star resort. Needs alot of repairs, the aircon isnt big enough for the room, they ran out of a third of their menu for a 3-4 days and the menu was very basic.
Again, there is no negativity towards the staff as they are perfect and apologetic for the above things, but of course its up to the owners to fix.

We booked 2 beachfront villas which were very spacious. The grounds were beautiful and well kept as well. The outdoor shower was so refreshing! The ocean breeze kept us cool and the beach out front was great to swim in at low tide.

Service was hit and miss. We booked for same day stay and it turned out that we couldn’t dine at the restaurant. You apparently have to pre book as they were having a Polynesian night but were told at check in we could order from a la carte. When we went for dinner we were told this wasn’t the case and they couldn’t offer us anything at all including and no room service. We were told to drive to a different restaurant if we wanted to eat anything. This is very poor service to not offer any dining options at all to your in house guests. Luckily we had a car to drive up the road in the rain to find something to eat with an 11 month old in tow.

The facilities also need a bit of an up keeping, pool is old with peeling paint and feels very uninviting. Basic amenities are missing like tissues, face towels and floor towels for bath. The indoor bath was falling apart in both villas.

this place has so much potential. It would be nice to have the shower area cleaned.... it had discarded shampoo/wash bottles as well as discarded strapping tape from previous guests. The area around the shower tap was quite blackened by mould.... it would have easy been easy to clean. The path and shower base could have been wiped or mopped too. The interior of the room was comfortable but could have had a fresh paint job. With some more colourful curtain and/or bed throw it would have been really lovely. Perhaps an armchair or two OR a small couch. It would have been an amazing room

Closer to highway. There are a variety of plants in the gardens which gives the property a natural look.
Prices are affordable, breakfast included was nice.

There is a need for staff training - they lack standard work ethics, such as drinking coffee at the counter. The property needs maintenance work- paths leading to rooms are worn out, consequently carts pushed are very noisy, no towels in room, bed bugs, no soap in outside dispenser, hornets in windows.

We felt right at home, and it was such a lovely break to stay in a beautiful location right on the beach, with a fun vibe, good food and cocktails and interesting people to talk to and lots of sand for our daughter eat. We stayed in a villa and it was clean, comfortable and had AirCon. It was a true tropical holiday with a local, authentic feel - not a stuffy flashy resort!

I stayed at Uprising for 4 nights in a Beach front villa and truly enjoyed my stay. The beach front villa is well worth the little extra $$. The sea view is gorgeous and you get the sea breeze too. I also like that it is very spacious, plus it has an aircon which is helpful on the hot and humid nights. The outdoor shower is lovely.

The beach is nice, clean and peaceful. Really enjoyed walking on the long stretch of beach.
