Title: Great Guide!
Review: It's rare to be able to pick up a country and hold it in your hands, but this is the case with David Stanley's Fiji (Moon Handbooks). It is obvious David has a deep knowledge of, and affection for Fiji but he also manages to give sharp and welcome observations (whether the rest rooms are clean, the service slow, the food over-priced or the water pressure low). Accommodation from budget to five-star is covered as are dining and sightseeing options for those who want to get away from the resorts and explore. This guide can extend your holiday experience as a pre-read (history, customs, language, itinerary planning etc) and as a travelling companion (where internet cafes are, etiquette for visiting a village, best dive sites etc). It is also handy post-holiday, whether to jog your memory or find a phone number. This guide recently joined me on a trip from Nadi through south-west Viti Levu, Beqa and the Mamanuca islands and I found it both an excellent resource and holiday 'enhancer'.
