Fiji liquor regs
 
I understand drink prices are pretty high<BR>at the resorts. Wondered if anyone knew<BR>how much one was allowed to bring in with them.

When we were at Tokoriki Island Resort, the prices weren't high at all. When I got back home and got my credit card statement, I was surprised and wished we had more drinks while we were there. I can't remember what the prices were, but the exchange rate was great between the Fijian and US dollars.

I agree with Teresa, if you're from the US - the prices are very low, but we bought some champagne and wine in the duty free shop on the way to Fiji - and in the evenings we would have a glass in our rooms (we were with friends). We were at the Sheraton - and I thought prices were pretty reasonable....

2 liters of liquor, 4 liters of wine or beer - or a combination of both. Should be fine for your own consumption, although if the drink prices are high, I don't think you'll be happy with the rest. Fiji is relatively inexpensive so if anything is &quot;pretty high&quot; something is wrong.

I've stayed at both Matamanoa and Malolo and both places had reasonably priced drinks. Everything was on our credit card so we got a very good exchange rate on the USD. Also, some of the Fijian liquors are quite tasty. The Bounty run is strong and makes a nice drink. The fiji bitter beer is quite nice on a warm day. Fiji baby!<BR>Enjoy!
