Dining

There is more choice of restaurants and bars than you can point a coconut at. Firstly, Sofitel Fiji itself has 3 restaurants, 2 bars, and a cafe.

Then you have other hotel/resort's within walking distance being able to try out their choices. Walking along the 'beach' front to visit them is definitely worth it.

Port Denarau is close and walkable, though just a 3-minute cab ride. The Port has various choices of restaurants, bars, and more.
