DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Hotel Fiji - Sonaisali Island

Overall DoubleTree Resort By Hilton Hotel Fiji - Sonaisali Island is very good & we very much enjoyed our stay! The grounds is well cared for and clean though I wish the whole island was as clean. Staff is excellent at their respective jobs. Life definitely moves slower on the island so remember to relax; there’s no need to hurry. The resort was not at max capacity but we had no problem getting chairs/umbrella, eating at their restaurants (they do prefer reservations at their fanciest one), using the gym, etc. The food overall is good but not great. We definitely didn’t go hungry! Keeping in mind we’re in the middle of the south pacific, I'd highly recommend this hotel.

We’ve just returned home from a week at Double-tree Fiji Our family absolutely loved our stay and would return in a heart beat All of the staff were amazing and friendly and went over and above to ensure we had a wonderful stay My 12yo son absolutely loved the pool, and the swim up bar is a great bonus feature There are plenty of seating around the pool, you do at times have other guests “reserving” loungers with towels which is rude, but no the fault or the staff or hotel We were able to find somewhere to sit each time, though it may be more challenging in peak periods Our room was beautifully clean and the air conditioning worked well, offering us a cool oasis to return to each evening The housekeeping staff and lovely and do a fabulous job, even making towel animals and leaving notes which my son adored! The grounds are immaculately maintained and any maintenance issues are promptly resolved We had a half board dining package which included breakfast and dinner We found the food to be great for the most part, and loved the fresh tropical fruits and freshly made juices each morning. The evening buffet changed every night giving a good variety and plentiful options The Fijian themed, Seafood Night were highlights as was the Indian themed/Diwali night The offerings from Tavu were exceptional, my husband particularly enjoyed the whole fish dish The evening entertainment was also fabulous! The singers they had each evening were amazing and very talented The whole family loved the cultural show and fire dancing performances The resort is an easy 30-40 minute trip from Nadi international airport and about the same distance from Denarau and the Marina So far enough to have that quiet, secluded vibe but close enough to pop in for a meal or boat tour Being a smaller resort, it felt much more intimate and quiet than the bigger “fancier” resorts which suited our family to a tea, along with anyone else who just wants to relax and unwind without the hustle and bustle of dealing with crowds of people all day long There is also a kids club though our son chose not to try that out Vinaka Double-Tree! We hope to return soon

The bures and the staff are fantastic but the food oh my I stayed here years ago and it was lovely but this time we are so dissapointed. The breakfast buffet,most of the food is cold or has run out, the meat feast last night was terrible undercooked, overcooked the veg had run out as well. We have done 15 nights in the backpackers islands the yasawas and sorry to say the food and service here comes nowhere close. Such a shame as we still have 3 days to go.!!

The natural habitat and setting with palm trees, sand, ocean, mountains in the background, relaxing resort AND the friendliest and most wonderful staff of human beings. It was a perfect stay - we felt immersed in the culture and living while here. Accommodations were spacious and well appointed. Everyday, fresh hibiscus flowers were placed on our bed. A hot pot for coffee and tea. Nightly entertainment from 6-9pm. Beautiful sunsets, palm trees and beach chairs with umbrellas facing the ocean. A daily 2 mile nature walk along the beach to the north of the resort. Truly a reinvigorating time - we didn't even leave the resort.

Once again, the Fijian people — the staff — are absolutely marvelous. Honestly, even if this place were hell, their warmth and friendliness would make you think you were in heaven. They are some of the nicest people I’ve met across the five continents I’ve visited. That said, the hotel itself is in need of a major renovation. It feels old and a bit run down, but don’t get me wrong — everything works, and one of my biggest peeves is well taken care of: it’s clean! The price matches the facility; if you want a more modern, updated resort, you’ll simply need to pay for it elsewhere. For what you spend here, you definitely get fair value. The guests are a unique mix — from tattooed, wannabe-hipster types to retired couples and nice families with kids. A bit of everything, really. But in the end, the staff’s warmth and kindness win you over. After a few days, the place truly grew on us. I’d come back — though my better half might not — so form your own opinion. A few notes: some reviews mention the A/C being underpowered for the rooms, and they’re right. It’s manageable, but I do wonder how it holds up in hotter months. The location is great — about 25 minutes from Nadi and Port Denarau. However, if swimming in the ocean is a must for you, this isn’t the spot. The beach isn’t really swimmable, but it’s a perfect base to relax, explore, and enjoy Fiji. The pool is nice, though seating around it is limited, which can get annoying since it’s the main place to cool off. The food is good and fairly priced — and to their credit, they don’t take advantage of having a captive audience. In short, the property needs an upgrade, but the staff makes the experience special. Their genuine hospitality turns what could be an average stay into a memorable one.

We are currently writing a review directly from Double Three Sonaisali Island Fiji. The hotel is a bit of a disappointment for us. It is quite run down, especially the chairs and sun loungers, which have certainly seen better days. The area around the main pool is not very attractive. There should be sun loungers on the balconies of the rooms. The entrance to the beach is not very well located. Overall, the offer of this hotel is average and I recommend choosing another facility for holiday trip.
