along the backpacker trail, 29 Jan 2001
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fiji (Lonely Planet Country Guide) (Paperback)
A good book, though it sticks to the beaten tourist/backpacker track more than it should. In places like Vanua Balavu (which has three or four places to stay and lots to see), this book is sketchy. The writers have 'nice' things about places they obviously intend to visit again, but I got the feeling they were holding back on the criticism. They seem to have deliberately left out hotels they didn't like, probably because they felt those places were bad (dirty, dodgy, frequented by prostitutes, etc). I'd prefer to be allowed to make up my own mind, after reading their input, of course. Like all the other guides to Fiji, this book was written before the Speight coup and is out of date in that regard. It's also the most commonly used guide to Fiji, which means a lot of people trying to do the same thing. On its back cover, Lonely Planet Fiji claims to include 43 maps, but only 32 are named in their map list in the front of the book. What happened to the others?

Better than nothing, 6 Sep 2004
By David O'Leary - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fiji (Lonely Planet) (Paperback)
I've now read this book pretty much cover to cover and am really un-impressed... it mostly just provides a listing of places with some details... facts and figures... there are no real opinions, recommendations, or even suggestions.
It doesn't have much of an overview section that compares the various chains and lists advantagages, disadvatages, differences, overall feel which is what I really need.
I'm try to plan a honeymoon in Fiji and don't really feel much further along except now I know some of the options.
The Frommer's book on New Zealand on the other hand has been wonderful.

A must for those going to FIJI, 9 Oct 2000
By Scott Gilmore - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fiji (Lonely Planet Country Guide) (Paperback)
I just went to Fiji for the month of Septembre 2000. I used the LP guide to Fiji and found it very useful in my travels around Viti Levu. I found the people to be warm and friendly and anxious to get back to normal after the political problems they had this summer. LP covers the basic do's and don'ts to the culture. And the insights to different areas through out Fiji are accurate and direct.
