The best part about Fiji's Westin Denarau Island Resort & Spa is its infinity pool. It helps you pretend you're in the ocean without having to peel off layers of seaweed. Though the nearby beach is muddy and the water sludgy, the hotel coordinates plenty of excursion opportunities to other parts of Denarau Island where the quality of snorkeling rivals the Great Barrier to the west.

Since the $15 million renovation in 2005, visitors now say the hotel's amenities are closer to what they expect from a five-star Westin. The resort is spread over 30 acres. Guests have access to all the facilities at the adjacent Sheraton resorts including five restaurants, three bars and lounges and three swimming pools.

Guestrooms and suites, constructed using timber from native Fijian trees, has Westin's Heavenly Bed and Heavenly Bath, a 32-inch flat screen LCD TV, high-speed, Bose DVD player, and surround-sound home theatre sound systems. The Heavenly Spa by Westin features eight Fijian-style treatment "bures" (Fijian thatched roof huts) and two suites, a Vichy shower treatment room, a hydrotherapy room, a wet-edge lap pool, Jacuzzi, and a fitness center with state of the art fitness equipment.

Sure, you can't really go in the ocean, but who would want to leave the hotel grounds?
