Resort recommendations for Fiji with 2 year old!

[tina_k]

Sheraton denarau is fantastic! We stayed there with a 18 month old then again with a 2 yo and a newborn. They are so child friendly. Close to the airport. No need to drive an hour to the coral coast.
And the best part is you dont need to eat there as the port is easily accessible by shuttle or walking and there are heaps of food options. I'd get a package with breakfast, but leave out dinner!
Hope that helps!

Nanny is stupidly cheap. We paid something like $10 for first 2 hours then $4 for every hour after that. I felt horrid so gave her a big tip at the end.

Unless, like us, you want a gorgeous beach and access to the amazing diving at Beqa Lagoon, which is another 40mins past the Outrigger, where we will be staying!

Woohooo! That's great news for me and my plans to do nothing for a few days!

Thanks everyone for GREAT replies. Will need a little bit of time to read them properly. Okay have another question or two

Regarding size of rooms/apartments we are looking at one bedders at the moment. Don't think we need to splash out and pay for a two bedder when there is just the two of us plus DS. Our friends would then separately book the same for them and their 2 year old. Do you think this would work or do we really need to go for the 2 bed option so that he will have a separate room from us? My friend who is looking at travelling with us has mentioned that she doesn't think that you can fit a cot/pull out/roll out bed in the bedroom room for DS's to sleep on. This was in relation to Raddisson as opposed to anyother specific hotel. Reason given was they have a table in the room but perhaps this would be the same regardless of whereever you go ????

@ Fab Fiona any other tips info you can give me would be great.

Any feedback on what others have one whereever they've been would be great.

Secondly what are you thoughts re nanny for some down times rather than that kids club. Friend has suggested Sofitel as their kids club starts at 2 years old. I am thinking that nanny might be better option especially given she has never left her DS alone before. My DS has now been in day care for a year so he should be okay but her's has only been a play group with his Mum.

Also regarding Nannies do you book in advance or simply do it when you get there and how does it work?

PS Kelly - have quickly read review on Trip Adviser comparing Raddisson to Sofitel and read lots more negative reviews on Sofitel than on Raddisson
PPS Found finding a good travel agent who had been there with kids who could really recommend a place rather than reading brochure which I can do myself to be difficult
PPPS thanks for the tip on Expedia will definitely be giving them a shot at booking once I've worked out where I want to go
PPPPS just want to get it booked so we know we are going
