1.0 out of 5 stars A Poorly Written First Edition, August 31, 2008

This review is from: Fodor's In Focus Fiji, 1st Edition (Travel Guide) (Paperback)

Fodor's In Focus book on Fiji is incomplete. It is missing hotel and sight-seeing information for entire regions of the country such as Rakiraki and Nananu-Ira.

For the regions that are included, the Fodor book fails to mention many nice hotels. For example, only two hotels are listed for Lautoka, compared to nine hotels listed in a recent Moon handbook and and six in Lonely Planet.

When I search for information this book might offer that is not also included in the Moon and Lonely Plant travel books on Fiji, I find almost nothing. It appears that little, if any, independent on-the-ground research was done for this book.
