Outrigger Fiji Has Hotel Promo Videos That Are Nearly Worth Watching

While we might have been complaining recently about a few dull hotel videos, we found a slightly-above-average example today. The Outrigger on the Lagoon has just released what it's calling online DVDs which are, simply put, hotel promotion videos, but they're much more interesting to watch than the other stuff we've seen lately.
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 gowns, of course).
We thought it was getting really exciting when we got to the video about the Bebe spa (Bebe, apparently, means "butterfly"). It's almost got a storyline, following an attractive young couple through their spa experience, and when the woman started taking her clothes off while standing on a balcony, we wondered where it was going next. (The answer: not quite where our mind went).
Just the same, it's the kind of video that does make Outrigger look like an attractive place to stay, but shows enough of "real life" there that we can actually believe the real thing will resemble what we see on the screen.
Fiji's Outrigger resort is the first five-star resort for the islands, but it doesn't have a scary five-star price--depending on what kind of package you book, accommodation can start from around $180 a night. More if you go for their dedicated butler service, of course--you can see the butler hard at work unpacking your bags in the video.
