Cheap accommodation in Fiji can vary from place to place. There are still some very low-key backpacker dorms with share facilities and so on. However, due to demand in recent years, budget travellers have shown a keen preference for more stylish economical options, often with private rooms, ensuite facilities, Internet access, and good restaurants and bars. Fiji has accommodated this growing need and one can find quite a few 'flashpacker' style places. Worth noting is Nadi Bay Resort Hotel plus some of the Wailoaloa Beach options (e.g. Smugglers Beach, Aquarius Fiji). On the Coral Coast the Mango Bay Resort is proving very popular and has a great beach, plus a night club area! Safari tents are available there. In the Rakiraki area, try Volivoli Beach Resort.
