Independent, Familys in Fiji

After arriving to beautiful singing on the jetty just for us, we knew we were in for a great time. Malolo is truly the perfect antidote for the madness of modern life. No roads, no cars, not even a golf cart, the place is totally relaxed, totally comfortable and incredibly well staffed. We came based on friends and expedia reviews and we weren't disappointed. Traveling with our 3yo, we found babysitters easy and lovely, we met amazingly friendly wait staff in the restaurants that looked after our daughter and made her feel like a celebrity every time they (or any of the other staff) saw her. We personally thought the a la carte nights at the restaurant were better than buffet, but there's nothing wrong with the buffets. We have no hesitation in recommending malolo to anyone wanting to disconnect. We'll be back

Great resort with a very attentive and friendly staff. The room was clean, comfortable and had a fantastic view of the ocean. We slept to the sound of crashing waves, and woke up to the same. The beach is extensive, clean and thinly populated. In a week, we did not pass another couple on our walks. The water was warm and we enjoyed frolicking in surf. With no TV......it was great to disconnect from the world and just live in the moment. Utter relaxation. The stress drains with each surge in the surf, right down into the sand. The food was very good, especially the breakfast a la carte and buffet. The hotel grounds were clean and well along the way to recovery after last year's hurricane. Nice grounds. The best thoughts of all go to the staff who really do go out of their way to ensure that you enjoy your stay. The resort is the only one on the island and lives in a symbiotic relationship with the surrounding villages, with villagers representing much of the staff. You detect that they have a sense of ownership in the resort...and it shows. A great place for a quiet, relaxing, romantic getaway.

I enjoyed everyday very much. The Spa and staff are wonderful. I will be staying again soon and looking forward to it.

My husband thoroughly enjoyed Fiji Hideaway! It was a little bit of a hike to get to from the airport, but worth the distance. Being greeted with a cold glass of tropical juice was AMAZING after hopping off the bus! We were greeted and helped by hotel staff every corner we turned. The atmosphere was a mixing bowl of couples and families. We had a very nice bure and ocean view. Great snorkeling - well worth making yourself available to go out at high tide!! Breakfast was wonderful and the chef was very personable! Only complaints would have been perhaps having a couple more umbrellas available at the pool and we wanted to do the "mountain hike" but it was always offered in the afternoon and not being adapted well to the heat I would want it to be in the early morning. Also it would be nice to not have as structured or meal times for lunch and dinner to accommodate a variety of schedules. But overall we had a very nice time and it was difficult to leave.

Plan to go back next year as the staff and hotel were perfect! Kids loved it!

It was recommended by a person who visits Fiji regularly and it made sense to stay there the night before our return flight to MELBOURNE.The price was reasonable and lay-out meant plenty of space in all areas, especially at reception, where luggage and people were constatly on the move. Food was adequate and staff excellent.The rooms were very quiet despite the constant movement of guests. Free shuttle to the airport (across the road) meant not having to drag heavy cases and was a service offered 'on demand,' so no waiting around.

AS A MULTI RETURNEE I WAS TREATED LIKE DEAREST FAMILY. SNORKELLING ON NORTH BEACH MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN I CAN REMEMBER SINCE I FIRST CAME IN 1988 AND 13 VISITS SINCE..

Welcoming and inviting as soon as you arrive, beautiful location and views with fantastic attentive staff

Most pleasantly memorable! Thanks to the entire staff and management of Sonaisali Resort!

We went at a great time of year (end of January) with the occupancy at approximately 40%. This meant better value and no issues with accessing services. Lovely staff, pools awesome, kids club great, activites varied and well organised but most of all one of the best locations I have been to. On the not so good side, the food was good but the whole buffet experience was a little full on. There are other places to eat on the island which makes for a good change. We definitely recommend PIR to any family looking for a great holiday.
