Of all the fabulous South Pacific holiday destinations, Fiji is probably queen of the discount travel deals. The island's enduring popularity with vacationers and travelers has ensured healthy competition amongst both the Fiji travel specialists and the resorts and hotels themselves and this means that there are always some great Fiji deals and holiday packages on offer, if you shop around.
Fiji Deals
One common Fiji holiday bargain is the 'Free nights' type of deal. Many of the big Fiji hotels and resorts have 'Pay for 3 nights, stay 4' offers or even 'Pay for 8 nights, stay 10' and it's worth spending a bit of time at your computer, running through the various special offers, discounts and Fiji travel deals before you commit to booking your holiday accommodation.
Fiji Packages
This is where you really should do your research and compare prices from a few Fiji hotels and travel agents before you make a decision on where to stay. There are many different types of Fiji packages available and some big savings to be made if you choose wisely. Apart from the 'Free nights' deals mentioned above, here are just some of the options that might interest you:
Flight & Accommodation Packages – Often when you come to book a Fiji holiday, you will find that the reservation is only for the resort part of your getaway and doesn't include Fiji flights. This can bring 2 different problems – firstly, the added expense of the flights themselves and secondly the possibility that you won't be able to fly when you need to for your discount hotel booking.
Clearly, if you can get a Fiji holiday package which includes flights in the upfront costs and makes their availability clear in the resorts booking schedule, it makes for a much cheaper and easier vacation all round.
All-Inclusive Meals & Drinks – Many people like to know exactly what they will be paying for their holiday before they leave home. One way of safeguarding this is by investigating some of the many Fiji hotels and resorts which offer 'All Meals' and even 'All Meals and All Drinks' deals as part of their quoted price. Generally, such all-inclusive holiday deals restrict guests to dining from a regularly changing buffet table, with the evening meals often themed around various popular cuisines, such as Italian or Indian food nights. Similarly, if you decide to take a Fiji package which has drinks as part of the special offer, you will probably find yourself limited to more basic refreshments such as soft drinks, beer and wine and will still have to pay extra if you fancy a tropical cocktail on the pool deck. Having said that, choosing an all–inclusive food and drink package can result in a comparatively cheap Fiji holiday.
Kids Stay Free – One of the many reasons that Fiji holidays are so loved by families is that most of many of the big resorts and hotels allow children under the age of 12 to stay for free when they share a room with their parents. The way this works is that Mum and Dad get a double bed and the kids get a sofa bed or a cot, if they are very small.
Kids Stay & Eat Free – Even better, some Fiji hotels include free meals for children staying with them as long as they accompanied by full tariff paying adults. Again, this usually means that the children choose their meals from a more limited menu, but still means a cheap family holiday in the sun.
Other Fiji Specials
There are many other Fiji holiday packages and deals and they vary according to the hotel and the time of year. Sometimes resorts offer free upgrades on hotel rooms either at the time of booking your Fiji holiday, or once you arrive on the island. Often there are special inclusions such as excursions to local villages or places or interest and free cultural evenings. If you are fortunate to stay at a Fiji Resort and Spa, you may get free massage of beauty treatment as a perk or your stay. Another regular Fiji holiday bonus is free transfers between your accommodation and whichever airport you fly into.
Wherever you choose to stay in Fiji, you will find travel deal and holiday specials, so make sure you check out all your options before you book and you might be lucky enough to save a lot of money.
