Prize Winners Lap Up Luxury At Sofitel Fiji

PRLog (Press Release) – Oct 29, 2007 – Fiji -- Liz and Joe Jessup of Palmerston North won return flights from Wellington to Nadi, seven nights accommodation in the Presidential Suite, a jet ski safari with Adrenalin Water Sports and a 'Pamper Package' at the resort's Mandara Day Spa, which included a full body traditional Fijian Bobo massage and a manicure and pedicure.

"Our 'Pamper Package' was truly that," says Liz. "Joe was so relaxed during the massage that he kept drifting off to sleep and snoring. He was a little hesitant about his manicure and pedicure and drew the line at getting his nails painted!"

Liz says they were thrilled with the prize and it definitely didn't disappoint, with perfect weather and a swim in the huge lagoon pool to start and finish each day.

"Joe and I had an awesome time and can't speak highly enough of the Sofitel Fiji Resort and Spa, it was beautiful and the service top notch. I would return at the drop of a hat -- I guess I'll have to keep an eye out for more competitions to enter!"
