Accommodation in Fiji

Alright, so this is a Oz/NZ newsgroup but it's probably the nearest
geographically ...

We're getting in to Fiji in December and want some advice about places to
stay there.

What we want?
-------------
Nothing fancy - a double bed/room in a hostel, but not a shared dorm.

Where do we want it?
--------------------
Well, we arrive in Nadi (where else) and want a night (or two) there - is
Nadi somewhere that you'd want to stay a couple of days in?

Coral Coast is the next spot we want to go to - the Beachhouse has been
recommended, but there are surely others that must come highly recommended.

One final question
------------------
We are only in Fiji for 2 weeks, and really need to know whether we:

A) Book accommodation for the entire two week stay now or
B) Book just the first 6-7 days and leave the rest free (so we can make our
minds up where to go then)

Obviously the latter would be good - but if Fiji gets massively busy at Xmas
we might find ourselves short of somewhere to stay? Better to be sensible
now and book?

Your help appreciated!

A year ago I stayed at 'west motor's inn' on queens road, which is clean, quiet and for reasonble
prices (about €30,-- for a double, with waterboiler for tea/coffee). It has a swimmingpool, bar and
a restaurant.

I would recommend you to go to an islandgroup. I stayed on several islands of the Yasawa group, were
I found beautiful beaches and lagoons (inlcuding the famous 'blue lagoon'). Weatherconditions on the
small islands are much better then on the mainisland. (In Suva it always rains...) and beaches are
better/nicer. On those islands you really can get the 'bountyfeeling'. Besides of that, sealife is
just beautiful overthere. Very good for snorkeling,

You can make reservations with a company named 'awesome adventures'. They can arrange trips from one
day to a whole month which makes it possible to do some 'islandhopping'.

Eh...there's no hot water and no electricity on most of the isles and the lodges are basic (bed,
sheets, table, oillamp. that's it), and mostly meals are included.

Have a nice trip!
