Shangri-La's Fijian Resort

Frommer's Review

Fiji's largest hotel, "The Fijian" occupies all 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 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. A full-service spa was due to open in late 2006, as were half a dozen honeymoon bungalows.

Facilities: 4 restaurants; 4 bars; 3 outdoor pools; 9-hole golf course; 4 tennis courts; fitness center; watersports equipment rentals; bike rentals; children's programs; game room; concierge; activities desk; car-rental desk; business center; shopping arcade; salon; 24-hr. room service; massage; babysitting; laundry service.
