Club Fiji Resort

This smiley spot is less frenzied than some other budget beach options but has enough buzz to keep things interesting. Scattered among native gardens, the tidy bures (wood-and-straw huts) all have private verandahs. There’s a great selection of daily activities; it also runs tours, including game fishing and surfing. The great restaurant (mains $15 to $50) changes menus throughout the week, with Fijian, Teppanyaki, Mongolian barbecue and Mexican theme nights.
