Sheraton Fiji Resort ReviewThis 1987-vintage hotel was scheduled to be closed between May and November 2008 for a thorough renovation, including installation of a new swimming pool complex and a state-of-the-art spa and workout center. The central building is strongly reminiscent of a U.S. shopping mall (it does indeed have some very fine shops). In contrast to the Fijian-style of its nearby sister, the Westin Denarau Island Resort & Spa , it could be relocated to any tropical resort destination, not necessarily in the South Seas. In two-story buildings flanking the central complex, the large rooms here have ocean views from their private terraces or balconies. The food choices (none of them inexpensive) include fine dining in the swanky Ports O' Call. Guests can swim, snorkel, and sunbathe on a private island across the lagoon. The resort also manages the 184 adjacent condos known as the Sheraton Denarau Villas. Built around a courtyard -- one end of which opens to a beachside swimming pool and bar -- these are among Nadi's fanciest digs. They come in various sizes, ranging from single rooms to three-bedroom apartments, and are appointed with all the comforts, including full kitchens and washers and dryers. Facilities: 4 restaurants; 3 bars; activities desk; babysitting; bike rentals; business center; car-rental desk; children's programs; concierge; exercise room; laundry service; massage; outdoor pool; room service; salon; shopping arcade; watersports equipment rentals.

| 3 stars | Frommer's Exceptional |
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.
