Good location, a 10min walk to Smuggler's Cove & Wailoaloa beach. A few local restaurants and bars. 15min taxi ride to Port Denarau.
The grounds of the property and pool area are lovely and well maintained. The complex buildings are run down and in need of maintenance work. We mostly had no hot water in our room and had cold showers all week.
The staff were helpful and hospitable. We were mostly the only guests staying there. On a few occasions, there were people drinking heavily and partying - which in itself was fine but we had some drunken men banging on our door and shouting at 1.30am and overheard a very loud fight between a drunk couple at 6am on Sunday morning. As 2 female friends travelling together, these experiences were unsettling.
There is security on site and I assume they shut this down fairly quickly but just an FYI - this is not the best option for solo female travellers. Better to stay around Smuggler's Cove area.
I imagine GWV was a hive of activity before Covid. I hope that with some investment into repairing the property, it can be restored to its former glory.
