Grand Eastern Hotel

Top choice in Vanua Levu


This is the plushest hotel in Labasa. There’s an airy, somewhat colonial atmosphere and the staff is helpful. Standard rooms have porches facing the river, but it’s worth paying the extra for the deluxe rooms that open out onto the courtyard swimming pool. All rooms are clean but slightly careworn. There’s also a decent restaurant and bar.
