The upscale, 210-room Pearl Resort sits on Fiji's Coral Coast, along both a private beach and Pacific Harbour Marina. The scenic locale faces Beqa Island -- a popular spot for day trips and uncaged shark diving -- and it provides easy access to Suva, Fiji's capital. Rooms have mini-fridges and flat-screen TVs, but those in the old wing show wear and tear, so it's worth upgrading to the modern wing. Hotel features include an outdoor pool, full-service spa, water sports, and an 18-hole golf course. The four restaurants are pricey -- especially Seduce for romantic splurges -- but free buffet breakfasts help make up for it. The nearby Uprising Beach Resort has cheaper dining and a more laid-back vibe, but rooms aren't as contemporary.

Part of the elite Auberge Resorts group, this five-pearl all-inclusive has 14 villas and suites on three acres of Fiji's Coral Coast. Families and couples can spread out on the beach and infinity pool, or take advantage of water sports, daily yoga, the wellness center, and cultural excursions organized by a standout staff. The spacious units are elegantly designed, equipped with their own decks and sleek bathrooms, plus many have private pools. Guests are also assigned a personal butler and nanny to help with organizing activities and looking after children. The bar and restaurant offers flexible meal times and plenty of options for private dining. Prepare to spend a pretty penny for the experience, though. Romantics may prefer the more intimate, couples-only Tadrai Island Resort, but rates are higher.

The mid-range Uprising Beach Resort is a laid-back property situated on a beautiful section of the Coral Coast. There are 23 contemporary villas and bures -- some along the beach -- that have patios and open-air showers (bring the bug spray), while two budget-friendly dorms are available for groups. The lively restaurant and bar uses produce from the vegetable garden, and free breakfast is served daily. Beach volleyball and non-motorized water sports are free, plus guests may get to see one of Fiji's rugby teams (frequent guests) practicing. Note that minor maintenance issues are possible and Wi-Fi is only free during happy hour. The nearby Pearl Resort has more modern rooms and similar rates.
