# Warning - Adis place at Waya ! Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea
mariaronga 20:07 UTC 29 Jun 2008 | Hi, We would like to warn other travellers to stay at Adis place at Waya island. Overcharge in pricing. - We booked our two nights stay in a double room. When arriving we were offfered a bure which we accepted. We later found out that the bure was already booked by another couple who instead had to take our double room. The price we paid for the bure was 50 fiji dollars more expensive per night than the other couple would have paid. The prices paid for a double room varied from 100 to 130 fidji dollars per night (same standard), some guests had to pay 12 fidji dollar one way boat transport from the flyer whereas others did not have to. Only non bottled water offered, with no alternative to buy - The stay included meals. The only drink offered was the water from the local reserve. There were no possibility to buy any drinks as an alternative. Poo in the puddle - In front of the hotel is the beach and a puddling pool. The childreen did their poo in the puddle. Electricity - The electricity was only offered two hours per night. Bad pricing tricks for boat trip - We agreed on a price with mrs. Adi to get on a trip by boat to a specific beach. We were let of on another beach, a constrution area, and were forced to pay 30 fiji dollars in order to get to the right beach. |
