Resort recommendations for Fiji with 2 year old!

[BellyBelly]

I went to Fiji with my partner when my kids were with their dad, but despite being kid-free here's my 2c anyway

If you want postcard beaches, you need to go out to an island and out of Nadi. For the Coral Coast (lots of coral beaches) and Denaru, the beaches are meh. Many resorts have child minding or a kids club, so see what they offer - you can get some time alone with your partner which is a great opportunity to reconnect. Fijians are beautiful, smiling people, I would have no problems using their child minding services on a good resort.

We stayed in two places, Blue Lagoon Beach Resort and Nanuya. The Blue Lagoon Beach Resort is stunning but 30 mins by sea plane (or 4hrs by boat), so probably too far for you. But had to recommend it! Its in the Yasawa Islands, where there are the most stunning powder white beaches and bluer water than i've ever seen. Its near where the Blue Lagoon was filmed. We also stayed at Nanuya afterwards which was closeby, it was smaller, but beautiful too - more couples than kids. Awesome holiday! Love Fiji.

We stayed at Outrigger on the Lagoon for our honeymoon (4.5yrs ago) and are now planning on taking our kids back there in July. DS will be 2, DD will be 3.5.

We can't wait. We're looking at a "kids stay play eat free" deal, so it'll be just airfares for them, everything else included! We'll be putting DD into the kids club for a few days while DH and I go diving - or DH dives and I sit by the pool drinking ****tails Don't get me wrong I LOVE my kids but I need a break too!

DS will be too young for the kids club so we'll be looking at the nanny option - Ali, how much were nannies on Denarau?

Anyway Outrigger is an awesome set up on a beautiful beach - but it is about an hour's drive from Nadi airport. But we are taking the kids there as we know the resort, the beach, etc and we feel comfortable with the initial one hour drive. From there we can also access the islands, activities, Sigatoka town, etc.

We can't wait! Fiji is lovely!

ETA: whoops, I got censored! I meant the alcoholic drinks of course
