| Caribbean
Caribbean is a mixed bag of different countries' influences. The natives speak Spanish,
French, and English.
The prices can be inflated
depending on where you go.
Meals and beverages are
usually not included in Caribbean resorts' nightly rates.
Most of the upscale Caribbean
resorts are near cities which lack in privacy.
vs
Fiji
Fiji is an independent
country. Everyone speaks English.
The US dollar is strong.
Shopping prices are very comparable to the rates in the US.
You can find some good bargains.
Meals are usually
included in the nightly rate.
Five-star resorts include
soft drinks and most include alcohol.
Fiji does not allow over-water
bungalows. Fiji is the soft coral capital of the world and is very
protective of their reefs. Building over reefs is damaging to the
coral that has taken hundreds of years to develop. Also Fiji does
not encourage fish feeding.
On a Caribbean vacation
you will not have the incredible Pacific ocean nor will you get
to experience the southern night's stars if you are from the northern
hemisphere.
Fijian people are the
friendliest people. They are curious about you and try to get to
know you better. They want to share their culture with you.
