Review of Club Oceanus in Fiji.

Club Oceanus – Riverside, budget-priced, and very appealing.

Low-key and low-priced, this resort is alongside a river almost hidden from the main road. The overall vibe is appealing, with colonial-style whitewashed walls and an extended brown-tiled patio with wooden chairs. All rooms are in a row facing the lawns, palms, and river, and very similar inside: surprisingly spacious, with tiled floors and plenty of windows. The only difference is the number of beds – one, two, or three – so they are ideal for groups or families. One room also contains a kitchenette, while those closer to the main road would get slight traffic noise. Bonuses are the pool, dive center offering boat trips from the private wharf, and breezy café.

Club Oceanus – The Basics

  • Location: Just back from the crossroads at 1 Atoll Place, along the western end of Pacific Harbour and midway along the southern coast of the main island of Viti Levu. About 50 minutes by bus (quicker by car/taxi) from Suva, and another 30 minutes from the international airport at Nausori.
  • Guests: Primarily for those on a budget and perhaps, for anyone more keen about spending money on adventure than accommodation.
  • Beach: The beach is about 500m away via the main road; ask staff about a short cut. Otherwise, use the public beach in front of the Pearl Resort, next door.
  • Views: All rooms face the lush lawns, with the river barely 50m away.
  • WiFi: Free for all guests, but only available at the lobby; not in the rooms.
  • Parking: Plenty of parking available for free at the lobby.
  • How to Book: Booking.com will have the best rates.
  • Phone: (679) 726 6666
  • Email: cluboceanus@skylinegroup.biz
  • Website: No website, but has a Facebook page.

Club Oceanus – Amenities

  • Pool: A decent size. Surrounded by grass and facing the river.
  • Spa & Fitness Center: Not expected or provided in this small budget-range resort.
  • Private Pools/Jacuzzis: Not expected or provided.

Club Oceanus – Food and Drink

  • Restaurant & Bar: Brizo’s is a cheerful outdoor café (with a bar and a pool table indoor) facing the lawns and river. The menu is limited but should satisfy most guests.
  • Breakfast: A fully cooked breakfast is included and served at the pleasant riverside café.
  • Room Service: Not expected or provided.

Club Oceanus – Rooms

  • Room Types: Standard Room • Deluxe Room
  • Smoking Rooms: Smoking is not allowed inside the rooms, but is permitted on the patios and in the gardens.

Club Oceanus – What’s Nearby?

Best Nearby Restaurants & Bars

    At The Pearl Resort next door, there are 3 worthwhile options:

  • Riviera Restaurant & Bar – Casual but chic, with river views. Themed dinner buffets with a Fijian flavor and live music most nights.
  • The Deli – Ocean views, welcome breeze, and happy hours. Salads, sandwiches, coffees, and juices.
  • Seduce – Romantic and atmospheric. Seafood specialties with Fijian influences and an extensive wine list. Dinner only.
  • The Establishment – Just across from the access road to the hotel. Relaxed and sophisticated areas for pizzas, seafood, and barbecues. Also, a beer garden, themed nights, live music, and drink specials.
  • Otherwise, walk about 1 km to the cluster of delightful cafés and shops in the Arts Village facing the lily pond, including: Oasis Restaurant (for coffee, burgers, and pizzas), Baka Blues Café (barbecues, Cajun food, and live music nightly), and Water’s Edge (with a spacious deck and permanent specials, including delicious curries).

Nearby Market or Grocery

  • A couple of minimarts are at the junction along the main road, about 200m from the hotel entrance, but better facilities are at the Arts Village.

Local Transport

  • Just a 2-minute stroll to the main road along which buses head to Suva and Nadi every hour or so. A few taxis ply the main road; best ordered from the hotel.
