Comments on Ratu Kini backpackers

Hi all,

We are lucky enough to be spending 7 nights in Fiji in May, as we have the smallest budget imaginable we have decided to bring our tent with us and camp.
I have been looking at Ratu Kini Backpackers on Mana Island and also Mereanis backpacker inn which I believe is just next door.
Has anyone stayed in either of these? Any comments? They both sound real nice and have a good write up in the new LP guide - just looking for personal experiences.

I love white sandy beaches and excellent snorkelling - will I find that here?

One of the many options going around in my head is spending 3 nights here and then 3 nights at the Beach House on the Coral Coast - again any comments welcome!

I would love to visit teh Yasawas - but the ferry is so very expensive.
So excited to be going to Fiji!
