Sofitel Fiji and ALL+ Explorer - best value for 5 nights?

[willyroo]

We're off to Fiji in October 2026. Prior to looking at loyalty programmes, we were keen on Sofitel Fiji with beach club as we'll be sans kids (woohoo!). At this stage 5 nights in a Luxury room with beach access is $4,979.69 (ALL member rate $4,730.31). Here's my calculations - please sanity check or recommend improvements! (Separate bookings and use 2 free nights?)

• Stay plus free night -$995.94
• Member rate discount on other 4 nights 15% x $3,983.75 = -$597.56

So should be a final price $3,386.19 (compared to $4,730.31 member rate).

TIA

I can’t speak to the calculations but we stayed there a couple of years ago with the family in one of their suites as ALL+ Plat and it was very very nice. Easily the best hotel in that area. You’ll love it. We hired a car and drove around.

not the question you asked.. but are you having any issues booking that sofitel?

I'm trying and at the last step once I pick the room, it says no rooms available.

Hotel direct has just confirmed plenty of rooms available but if I book via them dont think I'll be able to use my free night and points

Haven't tried yet - we're looking at October 2026, dates are fixed to coincide with us arriving from SFO (got some U seats )

once you pick the room and price and goto the next step, then it gives me the error (so no payment etc yet)

I wouldn't count on the Stay Free night being able to be used to remove the whole cost of one of the nights. For a room with Beach Club Access I'd expect a copayment if the room is even bookable that way

Ahh yes good call on the beach club component - it's around $700 for the 5 nights...

"Your Stay Plus free night is not available in this destination. Take advantage of ALL member rates."

ALL+ rate is $4,250.53, so around $480 cheaper than normal member rates.

FJD?

The Bula Bus doing the circuit was fun

I’ve just booked FJ return J award seats to Fiji for August 2026. Never been and I’m an Accor platinum member.

I’m also looking at the Sofitel for a couple of nights. Def want a child free area. Eye watering rates so trying to work out if it’s worth it.

I am thinking though we’ll have a couple nights at the Sofitel to settle in and relax and then head off to the islands Although one of the adults only islands recommended to me by a friend - Tokoriki Island - was $2000 a night ha ha.
