Diamond review   Paradox in Paradise
Review of Fiji (South Pacific Islands) by torr

Advantages: “Things that happen here would seem….”
Disadvantages: “….Paradox in Paradise.” (Flecker)

...for the Day in the Fiji Times. This at least gave me something to think about as my wife and I lounged by the pool at the Tanoa International Hotel just outside Nadi. Having travelled half-way around the world in just two days to be there, I was inclined to think that we had indeed taken a short cut. The first visitors to these shores from Europe took years over the journey, and suffered on the way. Surely the earth was never meant to be so small ... Read review

Why we visited it
Review of Fiji (South Pacific Islands) by quan

Advantages: Paradise
Disadvantages: Cant find any

The island of Kiritimati (pronounced Ki-ris-mas’, or Christmas) is the largest of the 33 islands in the Pacific Ocean that make up the nation of Kiribati. The island has some 388 square kilometres of land area, which equals that all the other 32 islands of Kiribati combined. About 5,000 people live on Christmas Island, while the total population of all the islands of Kiribati is about 92,000. All but one of the islands of Kiribati are coral atolls. ... Read review

Jewel of the South Pacific, FIJI!
Review of Fiji (South Pacific Islands) by hunkaspunk

Advantages: close to NZ and AUS
Disadvantages: very humid in summer months, only serviced by Air Pacific

...to earth nature about them. Fiji is a culturally diverse country although a good majority of the population is Indian and their cultural influences are ever present in the small town of Nadi (pronounced “nan-dee”), which is a short distance from the International airport. Nadi is a bustling little town bursting with people, arts and crafts and food at the markets, which are held on a regular basis. The main industry in Nadi is tourism where there ... Read review

Island Life at its best
Review of Fiji (South Pacific Islands) by cherroxi

Advantages: Warm weather, sun and fun
Disadvantages: Mozzies (dengue fever season)

...a 10 day trip to Fiji and stayed at the Sheraton Fiji Resort which is located on Denaru Island just outside of Nadi. It is actually part of the main island but entering the Sheraton resort is like entering a different world. It si one of those places that you could spend your entire holiday in without venturing outside. The rooms are spacious and have air con (a must in Fiji) and tiled floors. Huge bathrooms and most rooms have a balcony. The buffet ... Read review

tropical paradise on the other side of the world
Review of Fiji (South Pacific Islands) by Amy_Coppock

Advantages: tropical paradise, fantastic diving
Disadvantages: 2 days of flying to get there

fiji is everything you would imagine tropical paradise to be, lush palm fringed beaches surrounded by turquoise waters...... i arrived in fiji in the early hours of the morning, so my first impression was the sudden hot, humid environment that hit me as i left the air conditioned airport buildings, quite a change from the wintery weather i had left behind. I gradually started to build up a picture of the country on a 2 hour long coach ride from ... Read review

The Hidden Jewel
Review of Fiji (South Pacific Islands) by betterlife

Advantages: Georgeous weather, friendly people
Disadvantages: Mosquitoes

Fiji is a beautiful experience not to be forgotten! On arrival the warm weather was a joy coming from the somewhat mixed bag of New Zealands winter. We (I joined forces with another girl backpacking) were introduced to what the locals call 'Fiji time' right from the onset as our pick up for the hostel we were staying at was a bit late getting us from the airport. But the friendliness and warmth of the people kinda makes that pale into insignificance. ... Read review

BULA FROM FIJI
Review of Fiji (South Pacific Islands) by michellej

Advantages: Super sunsets, friendly people and nice tropical weather
Disadvantages: The flight to get there and the latest government coup.

...pool. The roads and towns in Fiji are full of potholes and the local taxi drivers can be quite sleepy sometimes so it does pay to talk to them. The town has the kind of third world rustic feel to it but is quite safe. You can purchase some brilliant wooden statues, seashells and all the touristy stuff you could possibly dream of. The weather does get hot and you will get burnt very easily, I had my feet sitting in the pool and they got sunburnt! ... Read review

Octopus Resort, Waya Island
Review of Fiji (South Pacific Islands) by Jaycey

Advantages: Cheap, great snorkelling and beaches, friendly people
Disadvantages: Long ride in a small boat

Octopus is consistantly rated as one of the best budget resorts in Fiji, and it's not hard to see why. Our beachfront bure (pronounced like puree) was lovely, traditionally built with a bathroom where the shower had no roof! It was very comfortable, and we didn't mind the resident lizards at all, because they ate the mosquitos! We had our own private hammock, big enough for two, strung between two palm trees, and at night we slept under a mossie ... Read review

Fiji - A genuine Paradise
Review of Fiji (South Pacific Islands) by Sc00by

Advantages: Too many to mention
Disadvantages: A long way to travel from the Uk

...honeymooned on Castaway Island in Fiji during March 1999. Despite the on-going problems in the country now, I hope that when things are safer to return we will be able to return to this wonderful South Sea paradise. With all of the fantastic scenery and the fab food my lasting memeory is of the Fijian people and their kind and gentle nature. Our time in Fiji was a very special experience that I would recommend to anyone traveling to the area. When ... Read review

diving's fantastic
Review of Fiji (South Pacific Islands) by nholland

Advantages: friendly fijians, excellent scenery, food, and diving
Disadvantages: 5hr flight from sydney

I spent 3 weeks in Fiji and its islands, one of the first things I did was spent a few days diving... Wow, diving was fantastic, drift dives, and shallow dives were the main types available. These were organised by Aqua trek on the south side of the isalnd based at the hotel I stayed in for a while.... Suva the Fijian capital was a breath of fresh air, even though it was raining. The different culture was brilliant. Public tranport was the type ... Read review

Fabulous Fiji
Review of Fiji (South Pacific Islands) by Alix23

Advantages: Friendly, Laid-back - good prices
Disadvantages: Presently nasty political trouble

We chose Fiji as one of our stopovers on our RTW ticket as I've always wanted to go there. It sounds exotic and I had read it was a really friendly place. Both of these proved very true. We stayed at a resort near to Nadi - others went onto other islands but we didn't have time. The three days that we spent there were excellent. There wasn't tons of things to do at the resort but we were after a rest after all that travelling. The resort was very ... Read review
