Sister Properties Win Family Votes

ONE of the country’s most popular holiday destinations, Outrigger Fiji Beach Resort, was named Best Family Resort in Fiji for the second consecutive year in the annual readers’ choice survey conducted by Holidays with Kids magazine.
The Korotogo, Sigatoka, based five-star property was voted number one in the four-star and above category, and sister property — Castaway Island Resort — was voted second runner-up in the four-star and under category.
The two ionic properties were acknowledged based on thousands of reader surveys that ranked properties for their kid-friendly accommodation, activities for all ages and all-around excellence.
Resorts who scoop the awards must excel in standard of service and hospitality, children’s activities and facilities, quality of accommodation, value for money and overall experience.
