We had our honeymoon in Fiji and stayed at the Shangri-La resort. It was just perfect! we went in 2005, so not sure how much has changed.....but there were 3 different pools, quite a few restaurants, tour desk, money exchange, games room, sooooo many activites/sports/fun competitions etc. And their kids club was awesome! the ladies who worked in there were so happy and friendly.
I remember the meals being a bit exxy, but their buffet was great! so much variety and everything seemed really fresh. But their alcohol was very over priced so I highly recommend buying duty free as someone else mentioned.
Queenbee - we stayed at the Outrigger Fiji when we honeymooned there 5.5years ago. We loved it. The staff were friendly, food was good and we managed to stick within budget so I guess the prices where ok. There was heaps of people getting married there, we were in a bures and almost everyday of the 10days we were there, there was people getting married on the beach at sunset..magical. We spent most of our days lying around the georgous pool, which was a nice as the pictures make out. At our last night we went to one of the more expensive restaurants for dinner and they staff came over and sang us a good bye song, we felt so special. That was over 5 years ago, but I was only saying the other day that one day we will go back to Fiji and I would love to stay there again (I would hope it hasn't changed to much).
I had a friend who recently went to Fiji to and she and her partner stayed at the Shangri-La - they seemed to have a nice time there to.
As Kristan mentioned about buying duty free alcohol at the airport, we did this too, so maybe that helped with the cost...mmm Bailey's.
I'm sure where ever you stay though your trip will be wonderful. Goodluck.
I stayed at the Outrigger 3 years ago and I loved it, its a huge resort with lots to do and a great kids club. If I go to that part of Fiji again, Id stay there. At the time I went, it was one of the newer, nicer resorts. There were about 10 weddings in the week we stayed at Outrigger. Oh and if time and budget permits, you should head off to an island for a few days, much better than the coral coast.
Id suggest you google the resorts the ladies have mentioned and see for yourself which appeals to you!
DH proposed to me at Plantation Island Resort and while we were childless at that stage it was a lovely resort that seemed really popular with families. If we ever can go back we'd stay there again with the kids. We honeymooned at Matamanoa Island but I think it is child free....
