The resort misrepresents itself on the websites to be much more than you actually receive. From the terrible food, painfully slow service, unfriendly staff, mudded beaches/waters, poor program/organization, and extremely high prices for poor quality, this resort I would not only choose to not visit again, but also I feel compelled to warn others about to hopefully deter someone who... more

We returned from our honeymoon just this afternoon and I feel compelled to write a review that highlights some of our experiences at the resort. I will be writing several letters to resort management and whatever entity owns Sonsali in the days to come. 1) The bar staff is incompetent, not knowing even how to mix the 8 or so... more

Man does this place look great on the website and the brochures!! Despite the expense, we thought it would be worth it for a well-deserved pamper in luxury and comfort. Ok, we arrived by sweet little boat (only 2 mins across the river) to absolutely beautifully kept gardens to be taken to our 'beachfront' hotel room which we paid $350... more

We returned from Sonaisali Island Resort a few days ago but cannot wait to return. The Resort has had some bad reviews and we were a little worried when we arrived but once we stepped foot in the resort, those worries soon disappeared. The staff are some of the friendliest people you will ever meet and cannot do enough for... more

We stayed in an ocean view spa bure for 4 nights in September 2008 and were lucky enough to have 5 fantastic sunny 30deg days at Sonaisali. After we had confirmed and paid for our bookings we read the terrible reviews on Trip Advisor and were so horrified we tried to change our bookings to a different resort. Unable to... more

We stayed at Sonaisali Island for 9 nights back in 2007. I must say I have stayed at several hotels/islands in Fiji and this one is very disappointing. The resort is fine and food was quite good to ok (quite expensive) ok depending what you ordered. Room service - very poor, we had soggy pizza which cost about $20 AUD.... more

Just loved the place! I too was worried after reading some of the feedback but we were very happy with the stay and the whole experience. Great place for our kids (aged 10 & 12)... Kids Club staff were fantastic with our youngest boy (the oldest thought he was too old to go!) and the dive team also very patient... more

Holiday had been booked 14 months previously as part of our 'round the world trip'. We were booked in for 5 nights. Arrived after a 3 hour flight from Auckland with Air Pacific. After a taxi ride from airport we arrived on the resorts jetty, in the dark at 6pm, to be transferred to the island only to be greeted... more

This was the last resort we stayed at in the South Pacific. It was terrible. We didn't get to bed until 5:30 am. At 8:30 am the ground crew was outside our bure rakeing and throwing coconuts into a truck. At 10:30 am housekeeping called and asked if we wanted our room made up. At 11:30 am kids were running... more
