The <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Outrigger+On+The+Lagoon+-+Fiji/ian/229817"><b>Outrigger on the Lagoon</b></a> has just released what it's calling <a href="http://www.outriggerfijidvd.com/">online DVDs</a> which are, simply put, hotel promotion videos, but they're much more interesting to watch than the other stuff we've seen lately.</p><p>Yes, there's exotic music and promotional voiceovers, but the filming is pretty high quality and it all comes out looking very professional. Plus, there are lots of action shots of people doing what they should be doing on holidays--relaxing in a hammock with a drink, staring out at the view from their balcony, even sitting in bed (in their custom-made resort dressing amandak 2008-04-30T09:15:01-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2007/5/10/11838/8585 <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/ll_fiji.jpg" class="imgborder"/><p>The luxury <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/LikuLiku+Lagoon+Resort+/local/228"><b>Likuliku Lagoon Resort</b></a> in Fiji didn't quite make its planned opening in February, but finally on April 15 just gone its doors opened to guests. These guests, it should be mentioned, should be couples only. That's the stated target audience, so don't forget your partner.</p><p>Reviews from some of the first guests are overwhelmingly positive. From a simple "we can't wait to return" right through to a "we wept when we left", there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with Likuliku. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly, the food is fantastic, and the location is heavenly. And one couple mentioned how pleased they were to have warm chocolate cookies delivered to their room every day. amandak 2007-05-10T09:09:02-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2007/3/8/194115/9621 <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/treasureiland_turtles.png" class="imgborder"/><p>Eco-tourism is a nice way of making us feel a bit less guilty for taking time off work and going somewhere far away to do nothing, right? In that case, might as well make it <i>cute</i> eco-tourism. At the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/TREASURE+ISLAND+RESORT/ian/215546/"><b>Treasure Island Resort</b></a> in Fiji, you can combine an island resort getaway with giving some endangered turtles a helping hand.</p><p>Treasure Island is very proud (and probably rightly so) of its Hawksbill Turtle breeding program, and they're happy to let guests get involved. Especially if it means some more money will change hands: at the moment you can "sponsor" a soon-to-be-released (into the wild, not the cinema screens) turtle by making a donation. Of course, the lil' turtle doesn't amandak 2007-03-09T09:00:01-05:00 Search HotelChatter string http://www.hotelchatter.com/search/
