Vakaviti is closed byt the Fiji Hotel Licencing Authority in dec 2015 and because he won't fix up the health and safety recommendations the motel and dorm has been permenantly closed and not open for business anymore.

This book is now 10 years old - a lot has changed in Fiji and a lot of the information regarding the hotels and restaurants are outdated. Expect to pay at least double the prices that are listed!!
