Suva
Pleasantly situated in a leafy residential area, the Peninsula provides pretty good value. From the outside it looks like an apartment block and is recognisable by the overhanging window canopies (which get in the way of what would have been excellent views). There is a small pool, restaurant and bar on site.
If you plan to stay here, aim high – the rooms and views get better the higher you go.
