Customer Reviews

Don't leave home without it!
As a frequent visitor to the South Pacific I have found David Stanley's Moon Handbooks to be the perfect traveling companions. Following his recommendations I have never been disappointed. There have been several times that I have avoided hassles and delays by listening to his advice. My wife and I are going back to Fiji in a few months and I just purchased the new Fiji Handbook. The new layout, color maps, internet resources and pictures make this the only handbook you need to bring on your trip!

This Book IS Fiji
This book IS Fiji. Even the people who live there should own a copy for themselves as a guide to their islands' resources.

The indispensable information and guidance within Moon Fiji about trip planning, transportation, dining, lodging, entertainment, recreation, tours, events...will save the traveler the cost of the book many times over.

I've edited other publishers' guidebooks and am most impressed with the excellent composition and layout of this book, the perfect refinement of seven previous editions. It is amazing that: so much information has been included; the type size is big enough to be easy to read: and yet the book is small enough to carry everywhere.

Don't waste your time searching the Internet for information about the Fiji Islands. It's all in this book, including reviews, maps, photos, telephone numbers, schedules...and, if you must, a list of the top twenty Fiji websites. There is too much more info to mention.

Let me be succinct and direct: Anyone who is planning to visit the Fiji Islands must have this book--they will be handicapped there without it.

Okay but annoying in parts, not exactly exciting
I thought that most of the information in this book was interesting and well written but a few things got on my nerves. The author gave me the impression he didnt like many of the resorts hotels in Fiji. Making general statements about 'rude staff' I thought was a bit ridiculous. It got to the stage where he practically had nothing good to say about any of the hotels. If i want hotel advice I can go to tripadvisor. I want facts from a guidebook. Yet when I came to read the section on Nadi itself which is a key location in fiji there was about 8 pages out of a 380 page guidebook. Most people visit maybe nadi and one small island so you probably won't read 80% of the book. I don't think it works very well. I think you can get the same info on the net. And of course theres virtually no pictures so a good souveneir it does not make. I would think twice about this purchase.
