Use guesthouses in small towns etc. David Stanley's Guide to Fiji will have comprehensive (he has claimed complete) accom listings everywhere. | 1

The Island is a typical postcard Island, white sandy beach all around, swinging palmtrees and superb snorkelling right from the beach. | 2

gnzwffzcxxue 02:38 UTC 09 Feb 2008 | The travel guides to Fiji (Lonely Planet and Moon Guide) are both fairly up to date in terms of property listings but rates have gone up quite a bit recently due to higher taxes, import duties etc so check rates before booking! Also have a look at www.Fiji4Less.com for (non-party) budget options with self-catering. | 4
