Fair enough, but it's worth pointing out that Denarau & the Mamanuca island resorts are the "Fiji experience" for the vast majority of visitors to the island.

  > Denarau & the Mamanuca island resorts are the "Fiji experience" Denarau is mostly multinational chain resorts (Accor, Sheraton, etc) so yes the experiences there are pretty boilerplate and "manufactured". But there are numerous different resorts of all shapes and sizes in the Mamanuca and Yasawa Islands. There are resorts owned by foreigners like the one you went to, resorts owned by locals, resorts for backpackers, resorts run by their owners, and 5 star resorts. To assume you'll get the same there is like walking into McDonalds and saying that all restaurant food is crap.
