I really like this hotel. But I got an email a few days before asking my estimated time of arrival, if I needed a car park, and if they could help with anything else. I replied (6pm, no and no) and received acknowledgement. But 2 days before arrival I got a phone call asking the same things (with the same answers) but with the added addition of did I want white or red wine as my free welcome drink. I replied white, she said 'okay red' and I said no no, white please and she acknowledged.

... guess what colour wine was waiting for me ha. I'm just annoyed because I'm a typical millenial who hates answering the phone ("eww why is my internet and meme generator making a ringing noise")

Still, I like this place.

One more data point wrt to the Mercure Nadi. The nights posted right away:

Would it be worth double the price? Sometimes I see that Sofitel competitively priced.

Very much so…..

Had 5 nights here. Decent location. Dated hotel showing it’s age but good service, spacious room. Low lying shub was easy enough to navigate. Very good desk setup and comfortable desk chair. Very tasty menu available for room service. No complaints. Would stay again for work.
