2 Best Hotels in Pacific Harbour, Viti Levu

Between four types of pillows, three private beaches, a personal plunge Jacuzzi pool, and the communal pool, there's no downside to the choices at this all-inclusive, adults-only boutique resort. Set on a private 8-acre island, each of the resort's modern beach house–style villas juts out from a central hill to offer cruise ship-esque ocean views. Each features a king-size bed, a hot tub below electric roof shutters, double sinks, walk-in shower, full living room, and a plunge pool on one of two decks. Premium suites are simply larger than Deluxes, and the "Davui Suite" has a full pool. You can have spa treatments in your room and furnished picnic lunches on the beach. Excellent scuba diving is available right off the beach. A typical dinner menu includes two appetizers, three entrées such as seared swordfish with lobster potatoes, bok choy, salmon roe, and sauce vierge, and two desserts.

Only rain forest and constellations encroach upon guests at this basic escape run by couple Christine and Sam Tawake (she Swiss, he Fijian) out of their home. Each of the two bure has two single beds that can be pushed together and a basic en suite bathroom with hand-held showerheads. The six-bed dorm is screened-in but also has mosquito coils. There's plenty of room to camp amid the grass volleyball court and Ping-Pong table on the soft, even lawn. Snorkeling here is excellent, with a beautiful reef just off the front. There's a TV and Internet access in the main house. Breakfast is continental and dinner might include a delicious curry platter, pasta Bolognese, or coconut-lemon chicken and dessert.
