Great place! my fav in Fiji so far
I have stayed at Sheraton and Radisson on Denarau and liked plantation island more. The location was so beautiful and there was heaps to do! The boat ride over is not an added leg of the journey but a relaxing experience. It is a big place with lots going on but never felt too busy or full of people. It's very spread out. 4 pools and huge lagoon. You just have to manage your expectations - this is a 3 star resort. for a three star it is great. Rooms are big, cool and comfortable. you don't have TV or wifi but it's nice to switch off. The food takes a long time and isn't fabulous (not Fiji's strength...).
