Good info about season.
Incidentally, the timing that put us there was my wife's birthday. I'd love to go back and get the Taveuni I wanted.
Ca_white: Knowing it's just five nights, I think you ought to stick with a single place. It'll take the day to travel anywhere so you would lose that. Looks like you'll have to chance where you go.
Taveuni will be the most remote and "authentic". Mamanucca Is were nice and numerous little resorts. You won't get as much island but you'll do as many ocean activities. Taveuni diving will be better but we saw some pretty cool stuff in Mamanucca's too. My research about the Sheraton Denaru was the direct accessed dive areas are very poor.
You can do a relatively safe trip to the Mamanucca Island area which is just off the international plane and on a small one or a boat or you can try for Taveuni. You'll have a good time in the Mamanucca's and there are beautiful areas. Taveuni will be nice but you may lose some time to rain.
There's also Bligh Water area, which might be a little easier travel time?
Depends how easily you get out to the Pacific on how important to go where.
