Frommer's Review

Fiji's largest hotel, "The Fijian" occupies all 42 hectares (105 acres) of flat Yanuca Island, which is joined to the mainland by a short, one-lane causeway. Yanuca is bordered by a crystal clear lagoon and a coral-colored sand beach, both superior to those at Denarau Island near Nadi. Needless to say, there are a host of watersports activities here, including diving, or you can play tennis or knock around the 9-hole golf course. Covered walkways wander through thick tropical foliage to link the hotel blocks to three main restaurant-and-bar buildings, both adjacent to swimming pools. The spacious rooms and suites occupy two- and three-story buildings, all on the shore of the island. Each room has a view of the lagoon and sea from its own private balcony or patio. The suites have separate bedrooms and two bathroom sinks. While the Fijian draws many families, its Ocean Premier units on one end of the sprawling property are reserved exclusively for couples. The Fijian's restaurants have something for everyone's taste, if not necessarily for everyone's pocketbook, and four bars are ready to quench any thirst. Away from the throngs at the end of the island, the Chi Spa Village is a knockout, with bungalow-like treatment rooms where you can spend the night after being pampered. The half-dozen luxurious Premier Ocean bures -- between the spa and the resort's glass-walled wedding chapel -- are great for honeymooners.

Facilities: 4 restaurants; 4 bars; activities desk; babysitting; bike rentals; business center; car-rental desk; children's programs; concierge; fitness center; game room; 9-hole golf course; laundry service; massage; 3 outdoor pools; room service; salon; shopping arcade; 4 tennis courts; watersports equipment rentals

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
