I took my 2 25yr old daughters for a 6 dy holiday-excellent flight and hotel package BUT

what they did not tell me

cost of calls from hotel room overseas $10 per min regardless of whether the call was ansered or not. Second day found my calls home had cost $331!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
room service meals as restaurant full as had not booked-$75 for three hamburgers
drinks highly prices
Steakhouse restaurant ranged ffrom $45 for a steak
Best eating at the golf Club.
costs for island visits all over $120 per person'
Full of honeymooners/families/pregnant women

dead at night...everyone in bed..
could not get a coffee at 8pm!!

use the public phone and buy a car

hey there. quick question, did you do any research prior to your trip? did you ask about cost of phone calls? did you go to fiji expecting Indonesian/Thailand prices and atmosphere? not trying to be rude, just wondering?

Well what did you expect from a Sheraton?

I spent a day there while my partner was playing golf, and hated it. $15 for a toasted sandwich for lunch. But I'd sort of expected it would be that way, which is why we weren't staying there.

You could always go into Nadi to eat and arrange trips from there.

So is "partner" the new code word for gay?

#3 Are you trying to make a joke?? I can't believe it's just ignorance?

The point is I expected it to be expensive but not that much!! Also there was no information in the rooms advising of phone costs.
I still think the drinks and food outrageous for the quality given.

Yes i should of researched -once bitten!
