Holiday life - Sheraton Fiji Resort

The multi-award winning Sheraton Fiji Resort on Denarau Island in Fiji has always been in popular demand for those heading away for some rest and relaxation.  In 2008 it was named the Travel + Leisure – Top 25 Hotels in Australia, NZ and South Pacific, an accolade that joins the growing list of awards the resort has received.  With this kind of reputation to uphold, the Sheraton Property Management team takes immense pride and care to ensure the resort buildings and interiors reflect the image that guests expect.

The second five star resort to open on Denarau Island, it was first built back in the mid-1980s and opened its doors to guests on November 20, 1987.  A collaboration with two neighbouring resorts means guests can enjoy the Sheraton Fiji Resort facilities as well as those of the adjacent Sheraton Denarau Villas and The Westin Denarau Island Resort & Spa.  The resort provides so much choice with 17 restaurants and six swimming pools that you can try a different one each day, in between trying out the championship golf course, polishing your tennis prowess, getting an award winning spa treatment or relaxing and soaking up the sun.

As part of their planned maintenance programme, the resort has recently undergone a full refurbishment. In keeping with the style of the resort, the exterior has been finished in Resene Sureseal followed by Resene X-200 waterproofing membrane in a custom made ‘Sheraton Peach’.  Guests are kept safe on pathways that traverse the property with a Resene Non-Skid Deck and Path finish.  Weathered decks are freshened with decking stain to rejuvenate their look and provide protection against the elements.

The colours of the sandy beaches are brought indoors with hotel walls finished in Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen (high wear areas) and Resene Zylone Sheen tinted to Resene Canterbury Clay (muted beige) with bathroom walls in Resene Lustacryl semi-gloss waterborne enamel tinted to Resene Canterbury Clay.  Hallways are finished in Resene Lumbersider tinted to Resene Space Shuttle (brown grey) for a soft greyed look that is easy on the eyes, providing a good transitional zone for guests to acclimatise to indoor lighting from the striking sunlight outside.

To enhance and protect timber surfaces, they are finished in Resene TimberLock with Resene Uracryl 403 Clear topcoats, while timber furniture also enjoys a Resene TimberLock finish but with Resene Uracryl 405 topcoats.

In true Sheraton style, the property management team are kept busy keeping the resort in tip top shape, while guests relax in style blissfully unaware of the hive of activity… just the way it should be.
