Review of Mercure Nadi hotel in Fiji

Mercure Nadi – Convenient, functional, and ideal for business and transits.

The overwhelming selling point is the position: halfway between downtown Nadi and the airport, and easily accessible by bus to both. It is also adjacent to a mall with a cinema, supermarket, nightclub, and an assortment of excellent cafés. Being part of an international chain, the rooms are smart and practical. All rooms are colorful and spacious and feature balconies/patios overlooking the pool and surprisingly substantial gardens. Added attractions are the buffet breakfast and free airport transfers. A solid option for business people.

Mercure Nadi – The Basics

  • Location: In an area known as Martintar (or New Town), a suburb of Nadi, on the main island of Viti Levu. About halfway along Queens Road, the main thoroughfare that connects central Nadi (4 km) with the airport (5 km).
  • Guests: Caters mostly to business people and anyone looking for somewhere close to the airport between flights.
  • Beach: Not in a beach area, but Wailoaloa (3 km) is easily accessible by bus or taxi. Although a tourist hotspot, the beach is gray and often strewn with debris after high tide. It is, however, ideal for walks, views, and sunsets.
  • Views: All rooms look inwards, overlooking the gardens and pool.
  • WiFi: Free in the lobby/bar/restaurant area, but costs within the rooms.
  • Parking: Enough parking near the lobby. Free and secure.
  • Nice Perks: Free airport transfers.
  • How to Book: Booking.com will have the best rates.
  • Phone: (679) 672 2255

Mercure Nadi – Amenities

  • Pool: The pool is decent enough, with a tropical feel and separate area for toddlers. It’s surrounded by a wooden deck and sand.
  • Spa: The Tiare Spa offers the usual array of treatments in a small area.
  • Fitness Center: None.
  • Private Pools/Jacuzzis: None.

Mercure Nadi – Food and Drink

  • Restaurant & Bar: The Rokete Bar & Restaurant in the lobby provides all-day dining – primarily for guests who don’t know there is so much better on offer within walking distance (see below). Open from 6 am.
  • Breakfast: Included in some rates, but not all. Available from 6 am. Don’t book/pay for breakfast with an early flight.
  • Room Service: Available from 10.30 am to 11 pm.

Mercure Nadi – Rooms

  • Room Types: Standard • Superior • Deluxe
  • Smoking Rooms: No smoking allowed in the rooms or public areas. Okay elsewhere.
  • Best Room: Rooms are very similar inside, with identical décor and similar size. The Deluxe Room King Bed offers slightly more space and potentially better garden views from the balconies.
