Tambua Sands Beach Resort - Adults Only

The room was small but comfortable. It was clean. Good shower. Snorkelling off the beach was amazing. Service was very slow (more than the usual Fiji time slow) and not very proactive. You have to go and find staff and ask for things you want. Food wasn’t great. There were children in the “adults only” resort.

Great accomodation & gardens. Some of the stuff working there however had a very can’t be bothered, unhelpful energy. Having visited many resorts in Fiji, I can you tell you great staff with a friendly positive energy can make all the difference. Food was not great, your paying a lot for extremely small portions sizes. Was also surprised when they wanted to charge an extra $1 for a small slice of lime to add to my tea. Been a big fan of the Warwick I was overall very dissatisfied & disappointed with its sister resort Tambua Sands.

Absolutely incredible place to stay

The staff were amazing and the villas were beautiful. I do wish there were more activities and food options at the onsite restaurant.

Staff are great and the location and peacefulness of the place are fantastic

Enjoyed the snorkeling and swimming but units lack tvs gaps around door etc let mossies in no veranda so rain come through door just to dated to be comfortable

The property is set in a beautiful location. Our room when we arrived was not prepared with half eaten food from the previous occupants in a cupboard, and there were no towels. The room was also right next to a busy road and very noisy. To move we were charged a significant amount more, well over the web site difference for the rooms, and then that room though in a great location, had a smoke alarm that was emitting its low battery warning for 10 minutes every hour; this took 2 days to repair resulting in 2 nights with very little sleep. There was also a broken cupboard, towel rail, window blind and bedside reading light. I would have expected any hotel to provide a discount for this, not remain insistent on charging additional for the room; though we were given one free evening meal. I have to say that with the exception of the management and front desk staff, all the rest of the staff were lovely and really helpful.

The staff are absolutely lovely at Tambua Sands & the convenient access to the water and kayaks are great. However, there are many areas for improvement at this location. - The restaurant food is not good, we ate there on our first night and then not again for our 8 night stay. It's a shame as some nights it would have been great to stay in the resort and enjoy relaxing there rather than having to book a driver and find somewhere to eat - though the upside is it did mean we got to test many restaurants in the area. - Our booking was made for 8 nights in a beachfront bure. When we arrived we were told the booking was only for 4 nights, which we thought was sorted out after initial confusion. But 2 nights before we left, management tried to move us to a garden villa, offering very little compensation that wouldn't have covered the original price difference much less cover the inconvenience. We politely refused many times until we were finally listened to. - There are only a handful of snorkels available for the whole resort, and due to the rarity of any being available to use guest often hold onto them for days once they have them. Increasing the number available to start would be a good start in solving this problem and being able to offer the snorkelling that is advertised online at the resort. - The bure showers are not cleaned during your stay, though the rooms are given a sweep. Tea in the room is also not replenished. Overall, disappointing, but cheerful staff.

The resort is advertised adults only, however, young teens were also vacating on the grounds. The resort needs to offer more activities and entertainment. We did not have our room cleaned for two days even with our sign hanging on the door. We had to ask for towels this was never offered to us.

We visited so many places as potential places to stay on the main island in Fiji. Hands-down if you want a quiet serene place that’s right on the ocean with very little crowds than this is it. It doesn’t have a fancy amenities or crowds of the bigger resorts but my goodness, this place is a hidden gem. The hotel will give you snorkels upon request as well as a kayak for your pleasure. We were right on the beach. It was amazing and can’t wait to come back. My only fear with sharing this review is that it won’t be as quaint as it is once everyone finds out about it:)
