Radisson Blu Resort Fiji Denarau Island

Denarau Island


The Radisson gets top marks from little travellers for its sandy-edged lagoon pools, whitewater tunnel slide and squeal-inducing activities including fish feeding and the nightly torch-lighting run; grown-ups dig the hot tub, day spa, adults-only pool and swim-up bar. And who doesn't love free kayaks, windsurfers and catamarans? There are four good restaurants; the new Chantra Thai (mains $32 to $42) gets rave reviews.
