Fodor's Expert Review Crusoe's Retreat

Queens Rd., off Namaquaqua Rd.,, Viti Levu, Fiji

Friendly, sincere staff and an authentic experience are the trademarks of this laid-back resort. All bure are spacious with generous porches: Deluxe Seasides are traditional wood-and-thatched-roof structures while nondeluxe are more modern with larger bathrooms. Seaview bure, the least expensive, are smaller but set back into the hillside where they offer better views and more privacy. A generous beach and pool are the focal points of most guests' stays and free fishing is a wink and a nod toward getting on "Fiji Time." The restaurant mixes à la carte nights in between theme buffets, including curry, lovo, Mongolian stir-fry, and BBQ nights. It's a considerable ride over a long ridge top from the main road: excursions are doable, but many guests only walk to the nearby village.
