Kids and grown ups – they keep coming back to Sonaislai
A huge group of 16 adults and 10 children recently visited Sonaisali Island Resort for a family holiday for 10 days and here’s what they had so say.
From the kids: “Shaby, Rice and Macaroni (nickname for the Kids Club Hostesses) are awesome – we dont want to leave them – they kept us entertained all day and all night”
From the parents: “We have hardly seen the kids, so we are having a wonderful relaxing holiday!”
“It’s so nice to know the kids are safe and having lots of fun and at the same time learning different cultural experiences.”
“We found a spot at the pool bar (dry side) and kept ourselves, the bar and other guests totally entertained during our stay.”
“We loved snorkelling out to the beautiful Manunucas on the 35′ Catamaran, shopping trips into Nadi and all the guys young and old enjoyed a game of friendly Paintball (the only Paintball field in Fiji).” “There were lots of memories being discussed for days after the paintball game.”
“We go home to Australia today but are determined to come back again next year and do it all again!”
On a different note, another family revisited Sonaisali this year for the 5th time,
with on their first visit Jeanette and David Martin/Harrington and twin 14 year old boys Ollie and Nick meeting one of the Staff from the Housekeeping Dept and remaining friends with her and her family for the past 5 years.
They come back every year and bring gifts for their new ‘family’ from Korovutu Village.
They Martins stayed for a week and booked another property down the Coral Coast for their 2nd week and they all cried when they left after the staff sang them the traditional “Isa Lei farewell song”.
After only one day they missed Sonaisali and its people so much they abandoned their other holiday and returned to Sonaisali for another 6 days – they had a blast and of course will be back again next year for the 7th visit.
The Resort Staff will miss them now they have left, but the staff say that it’s so nice to see the twins each year and watch them grow.
The Twins frequently visit the local village to play and have fun with the Village children and they are very caring and sharing with the Fijian children.
