Hotel Information: A winding driveway leads onto Denarau Island and to the porte-cochere of Sheraton Fiji Resort. The open-air reception and lobby area lies under vaulted ceilings with whirling fans. The reception desk lies to the right, while straight ahead a series of lounge areas where the mostly Australian and New Zealand, as well as American and Japanese, guests relax. The lobby leads through to the restaurants, gardens and swimming pool, and overlooks the ocean.

Insider tip: Sheraton Fiji Resort is half an hour's drive from the Garden of the Sleeping Giants in the highlands north of Nadi, which is worth a half-day visit. This landscaped garden has a wide variety of native Fijian plants, native forest and lily ponds, as well as an excellent collection of more than two thousand varieties of orchid. The garden was developed in the 1970s by television star Raymond Burr of Perry Mason and Ironside fame. The small house adjacent to the gardens is open to the public and houses memorabilia from the actor's life.
