"Uprising is a boutique “resort” on the beach. Water is shallow which suits young kids, or there is a pool. Bures appear to be under renovation. Villas are good for parents with up to 2 kids. Bathroom is huge but there is also an amazing outdoor shower for each villa. Staff are very kind and personable. We came by local bus from Nadi but would recommend having a rental car to get about. Within walking distance is the Arts Centre which is just opening after major construction works. This recreates an authentic village with an extensive discussion of cultural practices, chiefdom, ancient history etc.
After 8 days here, we had tried most of the menu with no complaints. Skipped lunch most days as continental breakfast is 3 course(designed for rugby players) or smorgasbord , depending on crowd size. If you want to be crammed in with hundreds of others, go to the big resorts on the Coral Coast. We had a few days on Beachcomber Island before coming here, so we’re happy not to do snorkeling type trips from here, but they are available. Overall, highly recommended!"
