    We had our rooms upgraded but the rooms we were given were newly renovated and right next to rooms that were currently being renovated so during the day, you could almost hear every bit of drilling happening next door. Our room, being a newly renovated room smelt like fresh paint and gyproc boards. We tried to air the room out by leaving the door open only to walk back in to a puddle of water caused by condensation. The staff, however, were great, attended to the room and made it good as new! Vinaka Sofitel team!

    The staff are absolutely amazing and the rooms were super clean & serviced more regularly than I thought. Food was great & location was perfect, being only a short walk from the port. We were a group of friends and having the Republik bar and club right at the hotel was perfect for us!

    The pillows were terrible, squished down to nothing when laid on and pillow "shop" was closed when I went to bed so couldn't change them.

    We do not like that at the balcony, smokers can just hang around and smoke. They should not allow people who smoke mixed with non- smokers. We love to stay sometime at the balcony in our room during afternoon but when someone occupied the other unit beside us, we cant stay much longer due to full on cigarette smoke. We have health conditions that cannot tolerate that. Hopefully they should have rules for that.

    It was beautiful and everyday has different activities for everyone like kids and adults. The bed and pillows are comfortable. Cleaners look after the room day and night. The staffs at the bar had a great customer service. They looked after us and wherever you go there are someone there looking after you. They are magnificent! We love the drinks at the bar and if you do not drink alcohol they have a lot of choices for non-alcoholic mock tails which was great!

    Cons Baazar restaurant is pretty average but you expect that form a buffet. Some stuff are really nice but then some stuff and awful. recommend to go around 6pm as food goes very quickly if busy. Sounds obvious but Please bring loads of sun lotion as the sun is outrageous and I found that out the hard way. we went in the wet season and the weather was booming all week. I went 28th Feb to 5th March. Drinks are expensive and the cocktails are very average. Probably the worst cocktails I’ve had. Although we found a Malibu and Coke was our go to after we tried most of the cocktails. Waitui beach club adults only section can be a package. But you can also get a day pass for $199pp if you are not in that section of the hotel. However, to be honest I feel it’s a waste of money as you only get 1 hour free cocktails and canopies. There is no difference between the standard pool than the waitui club. Pool is that big the kids don’t affect you. This is probably the biggest mis leading thing is that when we booked our booking.com package we booked the standard room with half board including breakfast and dinner with an extra $125 FJD per day for wine food and spa. THIS DOESNT exist and is very misleading. It’s breakfast included and the $125 FJD is for your dinner bill at the end. We found this out the hard way. But again this isn’t the hotels fault and I would say it’s more booking.com for misleading information. Overall the Sofitel is a 9/10 in total. You can easily see how this is the best resort on the island. I will always strongly recommend this place.

    This review may be long but please read it’s an honest review and will help you out loads. First the Pros The staff are the best you will ever get. Bai,Lai,Tracey are just a few amazing people who work at the resort. But every single person are unbelievable. Sofitel is by far the best hotel on island. We done the Bula bud that takes yiu around the Hilton, Radisson Blu etc and the Sofitel stands out from a mile. The pool is huge and super clean and so many loungers. Out of all the hotels the Sofitel has the best beach seating and bar area. Hotel is super clean. Everyday yiu will always see someone cleaning. Beautiful restaurants on site strongly recommend visit them all. Especially Solis and the Waitui restaurant and bar. Hotel rooms are a standard size but beautifully designed. The beds are so comfortable and clean. Unbelievable lobby and so impressive when you turn up. Eddie and all the greeting staff are brilliant when you first pull up. A few shops on site and my partner loved the pure Fiji brand with body creams etc. Malamala island is one of the best excursions I’ve ever done and probably the most amazing island I’ve ever seen. Please book a day bed though it’s worth it By far the highlight of the trip. Food at the solis restaurant is very good but the waitui beach club restaurant ( Adults only) was amazing and very romantic. With a beautiful sunset while having amazing wine and food.

    The buffet layout was confusing and you had to search every area of the layout to find toast, eggs, bacon and pancakes for breakfast.

    The staff were phenomenal, they were always cheerful, friendly and helpful; definitely the best asset of Sofitel Fiji Resort. The pools, restaurants, bars and facilities were also exceptional.
