For a totally unique experience, Beachcomber with its 86-bed dorm certainly fits the bill. The resort takes up the whole island and offers a wonderful tropical get-away. On arrival (by boat - 20 mins from Denarau Marina on the mainland), a "welcome drink" of tropical fruit punch is supplied while waiting to check-in. Once check-in is complete, a key is issued (for the under-bed locker) and a member of staff is on hand to show you to your bed (after all, with 86 beds in one room it may take a while otherwise!!). The beds are immaculately made up and beach towels are supplied. The bathrooms are also spotless.
All food is included in the price of the dorm bed. This includes breakfast, morning coffee and cake, lunch, afternoon tea (more cake!) and dinner. There is also unlimited free iced water throughout the day. The meals are fantastic and operate on a buffet system so you can eat all you want to. There are a range of activities available. Free activities include snorkelling (it is possible to snorkel right off the beach although a free boat-trip operates once a day to an offshore reef) and fish-feeding. SCUBA diving, parasailing and boat trips are among the other optional activies.
When the sun goes down, the atmosphere livens up somewhat with a range of entertainment going on in the bar (complete with sand floor). This goes on until late, after which they allow the consumption of alchol purchased previously (bottles of rum can be spotted everywhere!). However, if a quiet night is in mind, this is fine too as there is a strict "quiet in the dorm" rule which most people adhere to.
It's luxury "back-packer style" and will certainly be an experience not to be forgotten in a hurry.
