2 Best Hotels in Coral Coast, Viti Levu

The lobby looks like an oversize tropical living room and guests feel right at home in this large beachfront resort. Most families opt for the all-inclusive meal plan while twenty- to thirtysomethings are attracted to the "local spirits" package and its discount on cocktails. The hotel rooms are compact but come with a separate bathtub and shower and decent balcony/veranda space. All but the ground floor rooms overlook the newer of the two pools, with its swim-up bar, and the ocean beyond. Those seeking a little more privacy and space should opt for the more attractively furnished villas or suites with patio, or balcony and ocean view. A huge range of excursions and activities, including a modest 9-hole golf course, allows guests to be as active or laid-back as they like. Free shuttle service to the Warwick grants access to the sister hotel's facilities. The extensive and well-manicured grounds provide a great setting for weddings, the par 3, 9-hole golf course, and the Naviti Spa.

A perennial favorite with Aussie families, this large resort is a one-stop holiday for most. Parents and kids alike appreciate the American-style room amenities (request a newly renovated room) and selection of four restaurants, although kids complain that their menu doesn't change. The beautiful, lily pond–dotted grounds encompass tennis courts, a decent gym, and a golf driving range, as well as a huge pool. An intimate, adults-only section now features a pool with swim-up bar, and fine dining restaurant serves Continental-meets-South Pacific fare. The Kids' Club takes the load off mom and dad 10–9. All rooms face the ocean but those on the first floor can't see it through the garden.
