Layed Back Fiji

Pros: The location is excellent. The staff friendly.
Cons: The food.
Location: Fiji. Snorkel, dive, hike.
This place was great for the outdoors, relaxed camper. The Bure (permanent tent) was nice and comfortable. The views wonderful. We snorkeled non-stop by just walking a few yards to the water. Lots of nice people thought most were on the younger side. This is a backpackers heaven. The only downside was the food. Very much geared for backpackers and the lower budget of food that is of course very filling but not that great. Beans and toast daily for breakfast and loads of starch do not meet my food choices.
