Tambua Sands Beach Resort - Adults Only

Our beachfront bure was beautiful - great bedding, lovely outlook and an excellent shower. And the pool area is attractive with palms, loungers and pleasant views of the reef. But the main restaurant had zero atmosphere with glaring spotlights, dining tables and chairs coloured like a primary school classroom, and loud music playing on a tv (including US Christian fundamentalist singing during Sunday breakfast). The only place for a pre dinner drink felt like an airport waiting room with chairs facing away from the view. This area needs an upgrade to fit the “adult only” resort vibe. And given swimming is near impossible in the shallow waters of the Coral Coast, it would be nice to have more onshore activities for adults. Additional charges for everything from the TV remote, a community charity, a gluten free breakfast option, to giving you the room key!!!

Staff were great Food and drink expensive

The people at the resort were splendid - very helpful and friendly. The room was spacious and clean. Sadly the food was below par: expensive and mediocre. As the resort is out of any main area - one has to take an expensive cab to eat off the site. The resort is on a coral reef so swimming in the ocean is not an option but fortunately the pool is lovely. Annoyingly one had to get a new code for the wifi everyday. We would like to return to Figi but not at this resort.

Great privacy allowing you to unwind. Right on the beach too

It’s good to stay a couple of nights. Prices at the restaurant are quite hight and included breakfast very poor. Overall, it was just good. Staff friendly and helpful.

Would stay again on beach Lovely staff good food We had a car which made life easy Great waffles place 5 minutes down the road Tv was YouTube but worked well

Tranquil bliss on the beach with wonderfully friendly and accommodating staff

I recently returned to Tambua Sands Resort earlier this month, my second visit, the first being 20 years ago and it was just as magical as I remembered. The resort is small and intimate, with just 21 bures, giving it a wonderfully peaceful atmosphere. I stayed in an ocean view bure, which was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. As a solo female traveller, I felt 100% safe at all times, both in the resort and exploring the surrounding area. The resort has a genuine “real Fiji” feel, with all local staff who make you feel like part of the family from the moment you arrive. Every team member introduces themselves and remembers your name, you’re never just a guest or a number here. The food at the resort was very good, and for something special, I highly recommend taking a taxi to the Crab Shack for dinner, it’s very reasonably priced with amazing food and a great atmosphere. What really makes Tambua Sands stand out is the people. I couldn’t possibly single out one staff member, from the front-of-house team, kitchen and bar staff, gardeners, activities and tour guides, to the security team and the amazing cleaning staff. Every single person worked together to create a truly welcoming and memorable stay. If you’re looking for a small, authentic, and warm Fijian experience, Tambua Sands is the perfect choice. I will definitely return again.

Food was pretty bad and no other options at walking distance. At least it was delivered with kindness and smiles.

Great space and staff
