Hello traveling PSers!
I posted awhile back asking for advice on south pacific islands and new zealand for our honeymoon. We wanted to go somewhere smaller/more remote than Fiji at first (Moorea, Bora Bora, etc.), but flights were a lot cheaper (and shorter!) going to Fiji... so Fiji it is! (Can't complain!) We'll be there for only 3 days, and figured staying in the Mamanuca or Yasawa island chains might be best for our purposes, since they are closest to Nadi (the airport).
We'll be in Fiji for 3 days/nights (arriving at 5:10 am on a Tuesday--ouch!) and looking, probably, for the more 'budget' options (as we'll be following those 3 days with 2 weeks in New Zealand!). I have never, ever been there so I've been trying to rely on tripadvisor for resort recs--but of course I feel like I 'know' my PSers so I'd rather get recommendations from you all
This is the list that we came up with from tripadvisor... thoughts on these resorts, or recommendations for completely different places? We found the three different price points so that we'd be able to figure out the main trip's expenses, then choose--as the estimate budget is pretty tight!
Navutu Starts Resort: $529/night
Malolo Island Resort: $373/night
Nanuya Island Resort: $240/night
Of course the $1000+/night places just look absolutely yummy... if only!
ETA: I should mention that we've been looking for bures/bungalows as opposed to a more standard hotel experience.
