Fodor's Expert Review Bedarra Beach Inn

Across the street from the ocean, the Bedarra has the cheerful atmosphere of people enjoying great value in a place where everyone knows their names. The bright rooms in the two-story L-shape miniresort have plentiful white-tile floor space, a king or two twin beds, a simple bathroom with ample counter space, and a balcony with seating. Rooms 17, 18, and 19 have views to the sea while the rest face the small pool; the two cheaper rooms are directly off the bar area. Guests become fast friends and this is a fantastic base for day trips to waterfalls, villages, and even the Mamanuca Islands. The café is good and the delicious Ocean Terrace Restaurant is excellent.
