Rakiraki Hotel

Frommer's Review

This establishment is one of the few remaining colonial-era hotels in Fiji, and that means lots of charm unhurried by the pace of modern tourism. The two clapboard roadside buildings were built as guesthouses when U.S. soldiers were stationed nearby during World War II. One houses a tongue-and-groove-paneled bar and dining room, where guests enjoy home-cooked meals. The other has an old-fashioned hall down the middle with five rooms to either side. They have private bathrooms but not phones. Two rooms have four beds each, and are rented on a dormitory basis. Out in the back, three modern two-story motel blocks have 36 rooms outfitted to international standards, with air-conditioning units, phones, and tiled shower-only bathrooms. Behind all is a garden full of tropical fruits and vegetables, which the chef raids daily. The friendly staff will arrange excursions to Vaileka and to Fijian villages, horseback riding, golfing, scuba diving, and treks into the highlands.
