Destinations

Bula bula! I went to Fiji in Nov. on a 8 day trip. We visited 15 resorts and traveled by bus, boat and small planes around the islands. There is something for everyone! Fiji can accommodate for any type of group and individual, not to mention breathtaking scenery.

My favorite resorts were all located in the outer islands:

Castaway Island is a good resort for families. It is a large resort with a great accommodations, with a beautiful beach and many activities for children and adults from snorkeling trips to island hopping. They also have a kids club for all ages even teens. Its features a mixture of activities sandcastle building to learning Fijian dance. I wouldn’t recommend this resort to honeymooners.

Another great place for families is Jean-Michael Cousteau. Sail in a Hobie Cat or experience a traditional Kava ceremony, this beautiful resort that does a great job of catering to both couples and families.

For couples wishing a true Fijian experience I liked - Qamea Resort & Spa, Yasawa Island, Vomo Island, Tokoriki and Matangi Island. You’ll find wonderful accommodations, great cuisine, good service and of coerce great beaches!

Divers will like the Koro Sun Resort. Korosun Dive center is located here and they offer four distinct diving locations. The Resort is not on the beach, but across the street from it and is at a very good value.

There are several hotels located near Nadi International Airport. We only visited the brand new Sofitel. The Sofitel is a large hotel with all the usual amenities, including a great spa. A good choice for poeple requiring an airport hotel.

The Coup was brewing while we were visiting Fiji. The political unrest seems to be located in the capital city of Suva on the island Viti Levu. We did not encounter any problems. I found Fiji to be the friendliest place I have ever visited!
