How To Find Great Fiji Accommodation For A Fantastic Fiji Holiday

Whether you're into dolphin watching, wave surfing or if you simply want a romantic picnic with your loved one by the waterfall, Fiji offers you all of the above! After all, there are over 300 exotic islands in Fiji, each with their own unique identity.

Expect to join tours to mysterious Hindu temples, partake in the traditional 'yaqona' ceremony, trek in lush, green rainforests, join excursions to sacred caves and plenty more. After a long, fun day of riding, hiking, biking and exploring, it's just as important that you treat yourself to the best Fiji accommodation, which luckily, is pretty easy to find as you will find the locals here both friendly as well as inviting.

Before you do pick out your accommodation, the first thing you need to do is to plan your holiday. Figure out how many days and nights you will be spending there and come up with a budget for everything, from how much you'll be spending on food, activities, souvenirs to how much your hotel room should cost you every night.

You should also keep in mind that there are exactly 322 islands in Fiji, so you need to make sure that you don't end up in one island only to find out later on that the hotel you booked for is on a whole other island! Generally, tourists head to either Viti Levu or Vanua Lev, which are the two largest islands in Fiji.

The best way to pick out the most suitable accommodation for you is to always do your research ahead of time and the easiest way to collect your findings is to get on the Internet. Plenty of Fiji resorts and hotels have websites and there are also plenty of other third party sites that contain reviews of guests who have previously stayed in said lodgings.

Having said that, do take the reviews with a pinch of salt as you always get what you pay for so if you are planning on spending less than FJD100 (approximately AUD55) per night, then you can expect to rest up in a budget accommodation-type of quarters. While most budget hotels tend to be located on the Coral Coast of Viti Levu, higher end resorts are situated in islands such as the Yasawas Islands and Mamancuas Islands, most of which cost over FJD700 (approximately AUD382) per night.

Once you've narrowed down your choices to fit your holiday trip and budget, it is then time to see if you can qualify for discounts. For example, some hotels in Fiji do run joint promotions with Australian airlines and travel agencies so you may be able to free up even more cash to spend with during your Fiji holiday.

If you haven't the inclination to do research on your Fiji accommodation, then taking a trip down to your local friendly travel agent should do the trick as they will be able to give recommendations on the best accommodations that will suit your budget.

Do try to make it a point of finding a great accommodation as there's nothing like waking up in a beautiful island surrounded by beautiful people and having the opportunity to walk around with a pretty flower tucked behind your ear, just because you can.
