Location
Nestled in the heart of nature, Serenity Island Resort offers a breathtaking escape surrounded by lush greenery and crystal-clear blue waters. Just a short boat ride from Port Denarau, the resort is conveniently located close to Nadi and the airport, making it an easy and accessible getaway. Its small size allows guests to explore the entire island in about 15 minutes, revealing secluded beaches and vibrant marine life along the way—a paradise for snorkelers.

The beachfront is spectacular, offering guests the unique pleasure of waking up with the ocean right at their doorstep. Beachfront bures provide a perfect spot for relaxation, where guests can enjoy swinging in hammocks, stargazing, and snorkeling only steps away from their front porch. The well-situated island is both idyllic and peaceful, ideal for unwinding and escaping the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Visitors are welcomed by friendly staff, who are often highlighted as the island's greatest asset, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The resort also features a communal sing-song session each evening in the restaurant, fostering a lively and harmonious environment. With its convenient location, serene beauty, and myriad of activities, Serenity Island is truly a dream destination for those seeking both adventure and tranquility in a stunning setting.

Breakfast
The breakfast experience at Serenity Island Resort offers a blend of diverse reviews, highlighting both enjoyable aspects and areas for improvement. Guests frequently appreciate the hearty and varied offerings within the buffet, particularly praising the egg station where breakfast favorites are cooked to order. The inclusive breakfast is often described as nice and lovely, enhancing the communal atmosphere that guests enjoy in the morning.

Despite its positive notes, the breakfast selection can be limited, with some visitors noting a meager choice and below-average food quality. There are occasional issues with food being left unstuck and served cold, as well as inefficient service during busy times. These factors contribute to mixed impressions about the overall dining efficiency. Guests also highlight the need for more options, particularly in the continental breakfast range, which occasionally features bare essentials like bread, coffee, and fruit.

With homemade bread receiving mixed feedback, some guests found it less satisfying, although the ingenuity of a chef making marmalade onsite speaks to the resort's commitment to improving guest experiences. While the breakfast experience remains free and sometimes simplistic, the atmosphere of the dining area is often a highlight, contributing positively to the overall stay. Serenity Island Resort’s breakfast offerings could benefit from further variety and attentive service to meet the expectations of visitors more consistently.

Dinner
Serenity Island Resort offers a dining experience that garners mixed reviews from its guests. Many praise the culinary offerings as delicious and express particular enjoyment of the Fijian flavors, noting the food as wonderful and consistently nice. The small island setting lends itself to a charming ambiance, and for those who appreciate trying different dishes, the menu promises a diversity that prevents repetition. The service is often highlighted positively, complemented by meals deemed to be of high quality and good value, especially with the inclusive meal options.

However, the variety and quality of food sometimes fall short of expectations for an island getaway, with some guests observing inconsistency in flavor and execution. Prices are considered high for the dining experience offered, and there are occasional issues with availability and waiting times during peak dinner hours. Guests have noted a limited menu and a desire for more traditional seafood options. Additionally, while the service is often praised, there have been instances where the staff struggled to keep up, especially when the restaurant gets busy.

Overall, while Serenity Island Resort provides a friendly and welcoming dining atmosphere, there is room for enhancing the culinary experience to match the surrounding paradise-like environment more closely.

Rooms
Serenity Island Resort offers an inviting stay with its recently refurbished accommodations, providing a mix of modern comfort and stunning natural views. Guests frequently praise the beautiful, newly renovated bures and bungalows, some of which are situated directly on the beach, offering unbeatable ocean vistas. The rooms are described as clean, comfortable, and tastefully furnished, often with air conditioning and necessary amenities, ensuring a relaxing experience. Privacy is a common feature enjoyed by guests, especially in the beachfront and oceanfront bures. Many find the beds exceedingly comfortable, contributing to restful nights. While most reviews highlight the excellent condition and appealing decor of the accommodations, occasional comments about broken or missing items hint at room for improvement. Despite this, the overall consensus is that the accommodation quality is excellent, with the beachfront options frequently spotlighted for their spectacular views and serene settings.

Beds
At Serenity Island Resort, guests often highlight the exceptional comfort of the beds as a standout feature. Many find themselves delighted with the softness and support offered, particularly by the king-sized beds which receive high praise for their comfort. Beds across the resort consistently provide a restful night's sleep, with phrases like "comfortable bed" and "comfy beds" frequently appearing in guest feedback.

While the majority of reviews reflect a positive experience with the beds, there are occasional mentions of a hard bed or issues with the bed sheets not fitting perfectly. However, these minor concerns are overshadowed by numerous affirmations of comfort, indicating that the resort generally succeeds in providing a satisfying sleep experience.

The rooms align with the comfort of the beds, often described as cozy and well-equipped, though a few guests note minor maintenance needs and discrepancies between advertised features and reality. Despite these small drawbacks, the resort's charming accommodations, including waterfront views and private hammocks, enhance the overall guest experience, allowing for relaxation in a serene environment.

The staff at Serenity Island Resort are frequently praised for their friendliness and attentiveness, ensuring that the rooms and individual bungalows are kept tidy and clean on a daily basis. The ocean surrounding the resort also garners positive mentions for its cleanliness and clarity, adding to the overall appeal of the location.

However, some areas fall short of guest expectations. The pool and its accompanying facilities, including the bathrooms, have been noted as dirty, with the general resort facilities also described as dated and run down. The pathways through the island may lack regular tidiness, and cleanliness is occasionally inconsistent across different areas of the resort.

Despite these occasional lapses, the resort maintains a charm that many guests find captivating, often pointing out the well-kept gardens and the lovely, clean ocean as highlights. Overall, while not achieving a posh standard throughout, Serenity Island Resort's cleanliness generally earns a positive evaluation, especially within the personal spaces of the guests.

Wi-Fi
Serenity Island Resort offers a mostly positive experience when it comes to Wi-Fi connectivity, with many guests noting that the Wi-Fi is fully functional and fast throughout most of the complex. Free Wi-Fi is provided for seven days and boasts a good range, making it convenient for guests to stay connected with loved ones back home. Compared to other island resorts, the quality of Wi-Fi here is appreciated by many visitors. However, some challenges do exist. In-room Wi-Fi can be unreliable, with some guests needing to move to the lobby to maintain a solid connection. Inconsistent internet and occasional electricity outages have been reported, particularly affecting those staying in specific bungalows. Despite the patchy service in some areas, the island's remote location may contribute to these technical difficulties, which are common in many secluded tropical getaways. Overall, while Wi-Fi at Serenity Island Resort garners positive remarks, guests might find themselves seeking alternative spots on the property for the most consistent service.

Pool
Nestled alongside the stunning turquoise waters and white sandy beaches, the pool at Serenity Island Resort provides an impressive backdrop for a tranquil getaway. Guests frequently highlight its prime location right by the sea, making it an ideal spot for both relaxation and picturesque views. Those who enjoy snorkeling are particularly enamored with the calm and crystal-clear ocean waters that promise an incredible underwater experience.

While the pool is occasionally described as lovely and well-maintained, and some guests find it uncrowded and great for swimming, there seem to be areas that require attention. Despite its charm, the pool area is small, lacks sufficient shade, and has seen reports of being dirty or in need of maintenance. Structural instability and unsanitary nearby facilities have been noted, suggesting that the area may benefit from renovations.

The overall atmosphere is enhanced during happy hours at the nearby bar, providing guests with pleasant moments to enjoy after a day in the water. Despite occasional closures of the pool, guests can still revel in the ocean's bountiful offerings. While the pool receives mixed reviews, the captivating ocean experience ensures that Serenity Island Resort retains its allure for beach lovers and adventure seekers alike.

Beach
Nestled on a stunning island, Serenity Island Resort offers a beachfront experience that's hard to beat. The beaches are a highlight, with beautiful white sands covering most of the island, although there are some rocky stretches in front of some bures. The crystal-clear waters teem with tropical fish, providing amazing opportunities for snorkeling just steps from your room, as well as stunning coral reefs surrounding the island. Many guests find waking up to the water right outside their door to be a truly special experience. Beachfront accommodations are praised for their serene settings, boasting amazing views and a sense of privacy with the ocean just meters away. However, beach shoes might be necessary for navigating areas with dead corals and stones. While most of the beach remains pristine, some occasional litter and seaweed do drift in with the ocean currents, and parts could benefit from more regular cleaning. Despite this, the beach's natural beauty and the tranquility of the setting ensure a largely positive experience for guests seeking relaxation and adventure by the sea.

Family
Nestled a short boat ride from Nadi, Serenity Island Resort emerges as a haven for families seeking memorable experiences. Its reputation as a family-oriented establishment comes through in reviews that highlight the array of activities catering both to the young and the young at heart. The resort is particularly suited for couples and families, offering a relaxing environment where children can play freely and safely. Visitors consistently praise the incredibly friendly staff, who are particularly skilled at engaging with children and creating a welcoming atmosphere.

Serenity Island's commitment to family-friendly initiatives, such as participating in the turtle rescue project, enhances its appeal to those looking for an immersive and enriching experience. The resort exudes an atmosphere of camaraderie, where guests are treated less like customers and more like cherished members of a community. Many guests conclude their stay feeling as if they have been embraced into a larger family, thanks to the staff's kindness and attentiveness. Despite minor inconveniences like cleanliness issues, the overall experience leaves a lasting impression, making it a recommended destination for families.

4 Star
Serenity Island Resort offers a uniquely personable experience that stands out from larger, more luxurious resorts. The island itself has been described as stunning, with some touching on its 5-star allure, although the hotel component does not consistently meet those standards. It captivates visitors with its charm despite not being a luxury resort.

While it is officially rated as a 2-star resort, some guests believe it deserves a 4-star rating due to the fabulous aspects they experienced. The desire for upgrading its rating reflects the positive impressions given by the facilities and services received. However, guests should anticipate a few compromises and be aware of some shortcomings typical of a smaller establishment.

Instances of disorganized service, such as confusion with transfer arrangements, have been noted, and these issues contribute to feelings of chaos and lengthy waiting times. Maintenance needs are present, though not an uncommon challenge encountered at other resorts in Fiji as well. Ultimately, Serenity Island Resort delivers a memorable experience, emphasizing a more authentic and cozy stay over opulent luxuries.

All-Inclusive Packages
Serenity Island Resort presents its guests with an all-inclusive experience that has sparked varied opinions. While some guests find the package worthwhile given the resort’s remote location and lack of alternative dining options, others express concern about its actual value. The included meals are praised for their quality, with a good variety that avoids repetition over a stay, particularly for such a small resort. However, the perception that the "all-inclusive" offering truly covers all aspects is disputed; the package applies only during designated meal hours with limitations on beverages. Although drinks are encompassed during meals, including non-sweet and alcoholic options, outside of these periods they can be pricey.

The all-inclusive plan is promoted as covering à la carte meals that would otherwise be expensive, making it a preferable choice according to some guests for managing costs during a stay, yet the actual framework resembles more a full board service. There is appreciation for the flexibility and lack of mandatory meal plans, which some visitors feel aided in saving money. However, the pace of service during meals could benefit from improvement. Additionally, the absence of certain expected activities, like a bonfire, was a disappointment for some.

Ultimately, potential visitors should carefully consider their typical dining habits and the specific terms of the resort’s packages before selecting an option, as the value proposition might vary based on individual preferences and expectations.

Romantic
Serenity Island Resort offers an idyllic escape for couples seeking romance and relaxation. Nestled on a serene and secluded island, the resort's ocean-facing rooms provide a perfect backdrop for a romantic getaway.

The resort's ambiance, complemented by accommodating staff, creates a welcoming and comfortable environment, enhancing the romantic experience. A highlight for many guests is the dreamy happy hour at sunset, where sunset cocktails on the beach offer an unforgettable moment of tranquility and connection. Whether indulging in activities or simply savoring the serene surroundings, Serenity Island Resort ensures a memorable and romantic retreat.

Beachfront
Serenity Island Resort offers a stunning beachfront experience that enchants guests with its idyllic setting. The beachfront accommodations, known as Bures, are praised for their modern design and cleanliness, creating a tranquil retreat just steps from the ocean's shore. Guests marvel at waking up to breathtaking sunrise views, with the sea almost reaching their doorstep at high tide. These rooms are equipped with lovely furnishings, including private hammocks and sun loungers, enhancing the comfort and relaxation of the stay. The spaciousness and well-maintained state of these bungalows contribute to their appeal, as do the traditional Fijian songs that accompany arrivals and departures, adding a touch of local charm.
