I stayed at the Reef View Hotel Hamilton Island on my honeymoon and I cannot recommend it highly enough.  We chose a Coral Sea View room and were not disappointed as the views were spectacular.  It was lovely watching the sunset every evening from our spacious balcony.

The rooms were very spacious with all the facilities needed to ensure our stay was comfortable.  Even though we stayed there for our honeymoon I would definitely recommend this hotel for families also because of the space.  It is also perfectly positioned close to the main pools and restaurants.  We hired a buggy one day to explore the island, however most days we just walked everywhere we needed to go.  Our favourite place to spend the afternoons was at the Yacht Club Tavern. It is a nice casual atmosphere and the food and drinks are reasonably priced.  The Mantra Ray Café also does fantastic pizzas.  Both the Yacht Club Tavern and The Mantra Ray Café are located on the Marina side of the island.

During your stay on Hamilton Island I would recommend doing a Great Barrier Reef day trip including a visit to Whitehaven Beach.  Whitehaven Beach is spectacular and cannot be missed.  There are tour desks on Hamilton Island that can help you book any day tours and activities you would like to try.  If you are looking for good value and comfortable Hamilton Island accommodation then you will enjoy The Reef View Hotel.

There are many beautiful Fiji Resorts to choose from when planning your holiday to Fiji.  On the main island of Viti Levu I would recommend staying in the Coral Coast region which runs along the southern shores of the island.  The Coral Coastis popular with both families and couples with accommodation, facilities and activities to suit both.  Two of the most popular resorts in this region are the Shangri-La Fijian Resort & Outrigger, both featuring fantastic swimming pools; day spa’s and kids clubs. 

Denarau, a fast growing and popular region, offers a variety of premier resorts and activities including a championship golf course.  It is also home to the Denarau Marina, where boat transfers depart to the Fijian Islands as well as half day and full day cruises around the islands.

Some of the most beautiful resorts in Fiji are in the Mamanuca Islands.  For family friendly accommodation choose Malolo and Treasure Island.  For couples and honeymooners, choose Tokoriki or Matamanoa Island Resort.  For complete luxury try one of the over-water bungalows at Likuluku Lagoon Resort.
