thanks for your response Al,

I wanted to get your opinion on staying at the Sheraton Royal Denarau Resort for at least 1 night (@ $170/us dol) since our flight will be arriving at 0500 and we will be rather exhausted from our 10+ hrs. in flight. I'm thinking this would allow me the opportunity to research other accomodations in the area and possibly find something more appealing or less costly. What's your take on this?
