Go Fiji over Bali - Lots of resorts in Fiji if that's what you are after but expensive. Bali is an over conjested sh1thole - some will disagree but unfortunately it is.
agreed. bali has never been high on my list of places too go. it just realy doesnt interest me. yes, it is cheap but you get what you pay for. I just figured Fiji would be a nice alternative and the travel distance doesnt realy phase me.
I went to Bali in 88,95,98 & twice in 99 and loved it - but I won't go back for several reasons. I went to Fiji with Mrs and kids last August and fell in love with the place. Fijian people are so accomodating and friendly.
We stayed at Treasure Island which is 30 min boat ride from mainland. we will always include Treasure Is in our future stays as it gives you the true island experience.
We checked out Castaway Is and Plantation Is on a day trip to check out for future stays. Castaway is expensive but bloody nice. Plantation looks great and well protected from winds in Musket Cove.
If you are looking for a week away at one resort with plenty to do, go Plantation.
I couldn't see anybody being disappointed with Plantation. Musket Cove is ideal for SUPing around. At low tide there is a sandbar about a km out you could paddle to for fun. See Lisa at www.walusports.com for Sup hire as she lets out Naish Nalu's with viewing window. I think she leaves a Sup at the resort permanently now.
Post pics when you get back - cheers.
