The Friday night function is themed "Bollywood" so wear your finest and loudest Indian outfits. The Saturday function is either English or Indian attire. Semi-formal would be the best way to describe the requirements, but remember it's Fiji and it's hot so have some fun.
Of course you can bring your children, however we won't be able to accommodate them at the formal functions for a number of reasons. One of the great things about Fiji is the quality of child care services. Here is the link to childcare services at the Sofitel. Most hotels have similar services at their sites also. https://www.sofitel-fiji.com/clubs-and-lounges/niu-beach-club-for-kids/
Yes. I would contact the hotel before the end of the year to confirm a sitter for the days/nights you need. Babysitting service available for ages 0 years+ and must be booked 2 hours in advance. Babysitter may be with your child in your room or at the kids club. A registration form will be provided for you to sign. $40 for the first two hours (minimum 2hrs booking timeframe) and $17 for every hour after. Babysitting charges will be billed to your room account. $20 transport surcharge for any late booking requests (less than 2hrs notice) and for babysitting services provided past 11.30pm.

It's Fiji - so hot and humid. March sits in the Fiji summer season meaning a truly tropical experience. The maximum average temperature reaches 31°C / 89°F and the minimum average temperature is 23°C / 73°F usually at night. Fingers crossed it does not rain!

The water that comes out of the tap in Fiji is not the same as that famous bottled water. It’s generally safe to drink tap water at major hotels and in popular tourist areas like Nadi and Suva, but some visitors do complain about the taste. Outside of these centres, tap water may not be safe to drink.
Fiji is generally safe. As with anywhere on holiday; keep on eye on belongings etc.

It would be a good idea to get some Fiji dollars out if you're leaving the resort and cannot charge things to your room. 1 Fijian Dollar is approximately $0.44 USD.
Savusavu: Located on the Coral Coast, Savusavu’s clear waters are filled with native sea life, including parrotfish, clownfish and giant clams, making it a top pick for snorkelling and scuba adventures. Horseshoe Bay: The idyllic shores of Matangi Island, including Horseshoe Bay, are only accessible if you're on a yacht or staying at the private resort. Guests can take lunch in the hotel's specially designated picnic bure that rests on the shore. Nalova Bay: Head to Nalova Bay on Nacula Island for turquoise water and white-sand beaches. The beach is fed by a lagoon that’s home to a range of coral and sea life. Honeymoon Beach: Hidden in the private paradise of Turtle Island Resort, this is the spot to go for total seclusion. The resort is only open to 14 couples – with 12 beaches on the island, privacy is all but guaranteed.
In Fiji the voltage is 240V, compared to Australia’s 230V. The electrical wall socket is the same shape as in Australia.
