DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Hotel Fiji - Sonaisali Island
Things to know
before you go
DoubleTree Fiji Sonaisali appears to have all-inclusive plans on Expedia, but the plan needs direct confirmation because Hilton's official pages do not publish a full inclusion grid.
This is a strong pool-and-sunset resort close to Nadi, not a classic clear-water swimmable-beach resort.
Things guests wish they had known
Expedia lists all-inclusive plans available, but Hilton's own public pages do not clearly publish a current all-inclusive grid.
The complimentary boat from the mainland is separate from airport transfer logistics.
Choose this for pool and sunset island atmosphere more than beach swimming.

Warm Fijian service
Large lagoon pool
Swim-up bar
Spacious bures
Close to Nadi Airport
