Head about to explode girl who is going to fiji next week |

ARghhhhhh, I think I have over-researched (if there is such a thing!), me and my boyfriend are heading to Fiji one week today, and as usual its a last minute panic to get places booked. There is too much choice!! I've been looking through all these forums and accommodation reviews and my brain is completely mashed, dont get me wrong, some of the info on these pages are priceless, but no sooner do I decide one place, I read a bad review and it puts me off so I start looking somewhere else and the whole story begins again. It doesnt help that we have chapagne taste but lemonade money, hehe (im a back-packer and I cant bleeding stand back-packers!) A popular place that repeatedly gets brought up on these forums is the Octopus Resort, tried to book that last week and they have no availability, humpf! Book in advance for that one guys. Anyway there is a point in my writing this, the one question that I keep coming back to - WHICH ISLANDS SHOULD WE GO TO? (Im not even going to look at accommodation reviews as I have learnt now that someones bad is someones great!), but I still cant decide, theres all the different ones in the Yasawas which seem to have a big back-packer following, Mamanucas which seem quite near to the main land and maybe not as nice, then theres all the smaller scattered ones which no-one really seems to mention. Its very confusing, how the heck do I go about picking one/two of them to visit? I was hoping someone whos done them all could maybe advise which are the must go to's to help save me from exploding, hehe.... Thanks everyone Libbi :) arrghhh Report as inappropriate |

BULA From Fiji - There are so many islands, and they are all quite wonderful - but have different appeal to different people. That's the reason you get hot and cold reviews. In your message, you never said what you want to do. Do you want lots of activities, white sand beach, etc etc.? And, yes, you really need to book in advance, otherwise your choices are more limited. Here are some suggestions. And, mind you, if you go to a backpackers place, guess what? You'll find backpackers! -Funky Fish Beach Resort. In the Mamanucas. Newish budget/backpacker resort. -Windjammer Sailing Safari and Barefoot Lodge, in the Yasawas. This is a neat trip - cruise on a tall ship every day, stay at a backpacker/budget style place at night. It's gotten great response from most of the people I book there. -Main island - Mango Bay Resort on the Coral Coast. If you stay part time on the main island, you can do cool activvities like white water rafting, cave trips, waterfall treks, jet ski safaris and more. -Kadavu Island. Great island! Rugged, untamed, adventurous. Matava Resort is wonderful - they have a dorm, also a private bure with shared bathroom facilities for a great price. They have the best on site owners/managers, wonderful staff, the most awesome food, and they'll take you gamefishing, snorkeling, kayaking, picnicing. It's not a real backpacker type place, so that might fit the bill for you. They don't have a white sand beach, but if you paddle a few meters away, there's a private island with a great beach and they'll pack you a lunch you can take with you. ENJOY!

Head up to the Yasawa, Botaira, Nanuya, Oarsmans Bay all good reasonably priced resorts. Island hop, have a few nights at each. Fantastic snorkellinbg or diving at all of these. I'd stay away from the maminland at this time of year too much rain. The Mamanuca or Yasawa groups are on the drier side of Fiji. Enjoy Barb Report as inappropriate | ||||||

Thanks suz, barb and charley.....some great advice there, its certainly narrowed down some options for us. Were hoping for a bit of relaxing mixed in with some activities etc. I'm going to get looking into some of the places mentioned right now. I'll let you know how I get on....
