Today we checked in at 7:30am at the Marriott Fiji Momi Bay. The resort is about 45mns drive from Nadi airport. Marriott staffs greeted us with traditional tam-tam, put a nice Shell necklace in our neck, and a welcomed us with a delicious cold cocktail drink. They apologized they could not upgrade us to their overwater villa due to unavailability, the resort is completely sold out (start of their peak season), but they said they could get us an overwater villa next week for few days. We accepted their offer. The front desk agent introduced us to their GM, a very nice guy previously from Boston and Virginia. Since we arrived early, our room was not ready, they asked to wait at the lounge or near the pool area. We got to our room at 11am, the room was very nice (lagoon view). We walked and swam around the overwater villas and the lagoon, one drawback the water is definitely not clear and I couldn’t see anything under water with my snorkel mask. Note. If you want to swim with crystal clear water, you can take the boat to another island (Fiji has 300+ islands). As stated on my other review, we got upgraded today from a water view room to an overwater villa at no cost and without using any upgrade award. Our first impression is wow, refer to the pictures. If you book this resort using Bonvoy points, you will get a lagoon view room. You can get upgraded (as Elite) to a lagoon water front bungalow based on availability. Then third level upgrade is the Overwater villa, which is very limited for upgrade or can be a paid upgrade. We were lucky to get an overwater villa today, compliment of the resort. For those of you looking to visit Fiji, consider staying at this resort. We are very happy to be here. Hope my review helps you.
