Why We Chose Sheraton Fiji
When planning our first Fiji holiday, we wanted somewhere easy: beautiful pools, plenty of dining options, activities and access to golf, without needing to leave the resort every day.
Denarau felt like a simple choice for a first visit, with day trips, restaurants and entertainment close by.
Sheraton suited us particularly well because Rory could head out for a round at Denarau Golf & Racquet Club, while Henry and I spent the morning by the pool, joined an activity or simply relaxed before meeting up later.
What surprised us most was just how much there was to do. We expected a mostly pool-based holiday, but there always seemed to be another activity, show or cultural experience happening around the resort.
Sheraton felt like more than a hotel — it felt like a destination in itself.
Rooms & Accommodation
The renovation made a huge difference. Compared with some other Denarau resorts, Sheraton has some of the nicest standard rooms.
Guests can choose from Garden View, Ocean View and Oceanfront rooms, with either a balcony or patio.
Everything felt fresh and contemporary, and we found the room comfortable and practical for a family of three.
Pools & Beach
The multiple pools meant there was always somewhere to swim without feeling crowded, and we never struggled to find a sun lounge.
We particularly liked the atmosphere around the swim-up bar. It felt social and relaxed rather than loud or party-focused, which suited the resort perfectly.
The beach itself isn’t the main reason to choose Denarau, but evening walks and sunsets over the Mamanuca Islands quickly became one of our favourite rituals.
Restaurants & Dining
One thing we really appreciated during our stay was the variety. Between the restaurants at Sheraton and access to neighbouring Sheraton Villas, we never felt like we were eating the same meals over and over again.
Restaurant Guide
Restaurant | Best For | Rating |
Tatavu Grill & Bar | Sunset dinners and cocktails | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
Island 619 | Breakfast and themed buffet dinners | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
Heineken House | Casual meals and pizzas | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
Sega Na Leqa | Fried chicken and beers | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
Wet Edge | Relaxed waterfront dining | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
28g | Coffee and pastries | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
Our Favourite: Tatavu Grill & Bar
Tatavu was easily our favourite restaurant of the trip.
With steaks, cocktails and sunset views over the water, it offered a more refined dining experience than many of the casual restaurants around Denarau. It felt like somewhere to slow down and enjoy a special holiday dinner.
Families with younger children should know that Tatavu has a noticeably more relaxed and sophisticated atmosphere, while Island 619 is livelier and offers plenty of choice.
Island 619: Check the Dinner Theme
Island 619 serves the resort’s buffet breakfast each morning, while dinner features rotating themed buffets.
During our stay, themes ranged from seafood nights to Fijian-inspired dinners. It’s worth checking the schedule when you arrive, as some themes may appeal more than others.
Even when the theme wasn’t something we would normally choose, there was enough variety to keep everyone happy.
Morning Coffee at 28g
One of our favourite routines became starting the day with coffee from 28g.
Whether it was before breakfast or on the way to the pool, grabbing a coffee and something sweet quickly became part of our holiday rhythm.
Unexpected Favourite: Heineken House
One of our family traditions became meeting at Heineken House after Rory finished his round of golf.
We’d play a game of pool, order pizzas and enjoy a relaxed evening together.
Located just a short walk from the resort, it had a great atmosphere and became one of those places we kept returning to throughout the week.
Side By Side Kids Club
As parents of an only child, we found the Side By Side Kids Club incredibly welcoming.
When we popped in to check on Henry, he was happily playing rugby with the staff and other children and clearly having the time of his life. They made him feel genuinely included.
What we particularly liked was that Sheraton also encouraged families to experience Fiji together rather than simply dropping children at kids club all day.

Who Should Stay Here?
✅ Sheraton Fiji is ideal for:
Families wanting a relaxed resort atmosphere
Multigenerational holidays
Families where everyone has different interests
Travellers wanting plenty to do without leaving the resort
Families who want activities without everything revolving around children
❌ You may prefer another resort if:
Waterslides are a priority
You’re looking for an adults-only atmosphere
You want a traditional white-sand island experience rather than the convenience of Denarau
⚠️ Before You Book
Denarau beaches are better for sunsets than snorkelling. If white sand and clear water are high on your list, consider a day trip to the Mamanuca Islands.
Check the nightly theme at Island 619 if you’re planning dinner there.
Would We Stay Again?
Absolutely.
After seven nights here in 2022 with our five-year-old son, Sheraton Fiji became one of our favourite resorts on Denarau Island. We loved the beautiful pools, relaxed atmosphere and the way it managed to feel family friendly without being centred entirely around children.
For families looking for a relaxed Fiji holiday with plenty to do, where everyone can enjoy the trip in their own way, we'd happily stay here again.
