Guest Reviews

• Delai (10/5): -
• Ailesh (8/5): Lovely little spot on the beach - Loved being right on the beach. The staff were super nice. Hammocks on the beach were great too. Super clean and private The food was just ok but not too much to fault about it. Wouldn’t stay longer than 3 nights though
• Michael (9/5): Würde jederzeit wieder eines der Pool Bungalows für paar Tage buchen - Woow für hatten Glück und haben eins der zwei Pool Bungalows buchen können, sehr zu empfehlen, die ersten 2 Nächte hatten wir ein Strandbungalow , was nicht ganz so top war wegen der hellen Nachtbeleuchtung im Park
• Dorothea (7/5): Schlechtes Frühstück, wlan extrem schlecht - Super Lage, freundliche Mitarbeiter Ein Alptraum das Resort zu finden, Homepage, Google Maps und booking com geben falsche Koordinaten, ca 15 km vom Resort. Frühstück minimalistisch, Kein Trinkwasser im Zimmer, kein Wasser zum Frühstück…. Schwimmen nur bei Flut W lan erbärmlich, täglich neu anmelden, ein Gerät pro Zimmer, und das nicht im Zimmer
• Ruben (8/5): Fantastisk og avslappende sted med hyggelig besetning, rett ved en nydelig strand og korallrev. - Fantastisk strand med nydelige korallrev. Likte at vi kunne leie kajakker for en billig penge hele oppholdet og enkelt utforske sjøen og korallene. Fine og koselige hus med det man trenger. Frokosten var ikke imponerende. Lite utvalg, tørt toast-brød og kun små kuverter med pålegg. Det hadde vært mange bryllupsgjester den morgenen, så mulig det påvirket utvalget. Skal sies at jeg var veldig fornøyd med fisken jeg fikk til middag.
• Malgorzata (7/5): -
• Sacha (10/5): -
• Kritesh (6/5): -
• Olga (8/5): - Cute resort with lots of character, super friendly staff and cosy spots to chill and read a book. The room was clean, spacious for 3 and right by the beach - great for snorkeling on high tide or just enjoying the ocean view . Free parking and a solid enough breakfast - loved the fresh bread and fruit. Location was good for exploring nearby villages and waterfalls and a short drive from their sister resort that had a number of restaurants options. Due to a storm we didn’t get to use the kayaks sadly but they looked in great condition. I’d have liked some savoury options for breakfast, like eggs. The restaurant menu for dinner was limited, especially for vegetarians/vegans. Between the theee of us we had no where to hang wet towels, swimmers, wetsuits and on a wet day that was an issue (though the staff took on some of our things to hang dry, which helped).
• Ratan (7/5): Good stay and very peaceful - Excellent location. Breakfast was okay but not great Hidden costs. There was a compulsory payment of $15.00 for charity for hospitals which all visitors need to know at time of booking. This is a clear evidence of scavenging. I was honest to tell them I had a beer which they overlooked but tried to charge out side the happy hour rate. This is very disappointing when they are trying to be smart.
• Vivien (9/5): -
• David (6/5): Rooms were great but quality of food below standard - Coastal location Meals were disappointing and of poor quality including coffee
• Charlie (5/5): Tabua sands experience - I loved the staff there and our villa had a private spa WiFi was crap, tv remote missing, over priced bar, extra hidden charges when checking out, rooms not being cleaned daily
• Kushneel (2/5): - It was a good location and the views was great. I was told to wait for an hour and half to check-in because housekeeping had not cleaned the room.The staff were not approachable and did not disclose hidden charges. The continental breakfast was not as expected for a 4 star resort.
• Doreen (9/5): Paradise - The location and the facilities were outstanding, bungalows overlooking the ocean and hammocks at the beach. You could go straight into the water and snorkel (at high tide). Tui provided great entertainment, we especially enjoyed his story telling and the Kava ceremony on New Years Eve. Cocktails weren’t cheap, but better quality than in other resorts. Breakfast is rather basic - but you can buy eggs etc. a la carte.
• Margaritha (9/5): Love the stay but restaurant dampered the mood - We had the bure with the private pool and it was amazing! Very big and could swim even when the big pool was closed. The beach was also very close to the bure, was just perfect! Unfortunately the main road is a bit too close to the accommodation but didnt bother us alot as the aircon and pool pump was on most of the time. Also we took breakfast included but there very LIMITED options and not diabetic friend so my husband had to order breakfast then pay extra plus 3% surcharge. Not a very good experience, also food took way too long after ordering which made the whole experience a bit frustrating.
• KATHARINE (9/5): A lovely place to stay - No children. Excellent and friendly staff all very helpful. Good food and varied menu. Small details matter , the curtains in our room were falling off the track. Just spoilt the rest of the room Loud music all the time in the reception and dining area - just drop the volume to a level other people wish…not the staff!
• Liza (5/5): Tambua Sands is not 'adult only' - It was right on the coast, watching the sunset, lazing in the hammock, the majority of the staff were really great It was meant to be an adult only resort but there were children toddlers -15 years nearly every day. The air-conditioning couldn't keep the room cool enough. Furniture was broken. Overpricing for drinks was unrealistic. $13 for water at the resort, $1.59 at the supermarket
• Leigh (7/5): Beautiful rooms in a fantastic location. - Amazing location. Beautiful views from every room. Loved the private plunge pool. Snorkelled everyday. Staff were friendly and helpful. Kind of pricey. Expect to spend a lot for meals as no other options close by.
• Razik (9/5): -
• Huseein (9/5): - Very clean Included breakfast should include a couple more items.
• PIO (10/5): -
• Michel COGAN (8/5): Resort paradisiaque ! - Nous avons adoré la palmeraie, la piscine, la proximité de la plage a 50 m du bungalow. Le personnel est chaleireux et attentionné. Les lieux sonr très entretenus, les bungalows sont spacieux et confortables, avec une belle vue et la climatisation. Les couchers sd soleils sont splendides, dignes d'une carte postale ! Nois avons testé les massages et c'était divin... Nois vois recommandons ce resort Seul petit bemol, nous avions un bugalow avec vue sur le jardin un peu proche de la route et du coup, on entendait un peu les voitures. Mais cela ne lous a pas empeche de dormir et bien profiter de notre sejour paradisiaque. Demandez plutôt un bungalow avec vue mer et ce sera parfait.
• Monika (7/5): -
• Jennifer (10/5): I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would stay there again and again - Such a beautiful place so peaceful and tranquil. Well maintained gardens and lawn. The swimming was fantastic to swim in. The beach was beautiful to look at and to swim in when the tide is in. That’s the Corol Coast for low tides. Great sunsets. It’s exactly like the promotional photos on their website. The staff are such beautiful people so very friendly always greet you with a big Bula and a smile. They make you feel like part of the family. It was exactly everything I was hoping for. Awesome it was adults only as well. I really enjoyed my stay. My stress levels were zero when I left the resort. I would stay there again. The continental breakfast could have more variety
• Andrea (5/5): -
• Muni (9/5): - The quietness and privacy The menu and breakfast has very limited options
• Claire (6/5): - I liked the location of the bure from the beach. Waking up next to the water, approx 10m away. We took our own snorkeling equipment but you can hire from reception too. Tea and coffee making facilities in the room. Fridge in the room. We liked that it is a small resort and is a quiet. Friendly staff. Broken glass on the beach. No facilities for drinking water. You have to buy bottled water (500mls 15fd) Buffet breakfast included but was very simple toast, cornflakes and coco pops with 1 type of fruit tea and coffee. Other breakfast available at extra cost. Food in general was average and over priced. If staying more than a couple of nights I would recommend hiring a car so you can go to the supermarket and eat at other restaurants. The management didn't act on room move that they promised on multiple occasions. Various areas of management were poor. Having to collect a daily wifi password from reception! Only 1 device for 24hours.
• Ma (9/5): - コーラルコースト目の前で綺麗な海を眺めながらゆったり過ごすことができた。空調もしっかりと効いていた。 部屋にフリーWi-Fiがない。
• Sharyn (10/5): - Loved everything about Tambua Sands. Very relaxing. The staff were very friendly and approachable. Definitely will be back.
• Caterina (10/5): We loved it and will definitely be back one day! - We had the most amazing time at Tambua Sands Beach Resort during our trip to Fiji! From the moment we arrived, the staff were so friendly and welcoming, they truly went above and beyond to make our stay special. The resort itself was stunning: beautifully maintained grounds, crystal-clear water, and breathtaking views everywhere you look. Our room was spotless, spacious, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The food was fresh and delicious, with plenty of options to choose from. The team were super helpful when booking tours and travelling around. A huge thank you to the entire team for making our holiday so memorable. We can’t wait to come back one day, highly recommend this resort to anyone visiting Fiji!
• Michael (4/5): - View, the pool Coat of food, breakfast was poor
• Bridie (8/5): Amazing private spot just for adults - Amazing location, lots of shaded areas to hang out in. We had the Bure with plunge pool which was very private and we absolutely loved it. Also possibly the best sunset view on the coral coast from the sundowners deck! Zero kids made it extra peaceful. Would definitely visit again! Really very little to complain about - the buffet breakfast could have had a bit more on offer. For someone with gluten intolerance there was really only Rice Bubbles. There was a hot breakfast option but would love to just have made some toast or something. Next time will time the stay with a midday tide.
• Namron (8/5): - Views and the bed Some appliances (tv) didn't work
• Brian (10/5): -
• Rose (4/5): Average stay overpriced food - A staff member that stood out to us was Tui who ran the activities he was very welcoming. Ensured we didn’t miss out on any fun. The food at the resort was overpriced for the quality of the food they were serving. It was very bland & often had to wait a long time even if we had a small order. It is very far from everything especially the main attar action near the city. So prepare yourself for the drive.
• Guillermo (10/5): - Todo el personal de excelencia, atento y hasta afectuoso. Gxs la pase muy bien con mi familia Los cocos caen peligrosamente
• Victoria (8/5): - Our room was overlooking the ocean, we had great views and the sun sets were stunning! All the staff go above and beyond and are super friendly. The activities team always had something social and fun if you wanted to participate. The food from the on-site restaurant was delicious. Kayaks and snorkles are provided and we used them everyday! They have a tour desk which made booking our excersions super easy! Some of the snorkels need replacing as they leaked and are a little scratched (but they still did the job!) If you're an avid snorkler, I would suggest to take your own gear, but otherwise, we loved ur stay and would book again!
• Günter (8/5): -
• Maryann Lockington (10/5): Excellent stay - Great location with proximity to Maui Bay and the stop at Baravi in case we wanted to eat out. There was parking available. The staff were friendly and responsive. The rooms were clean. Great view of the ocean, beautiful beach and there were planned activities every day. It's our 3rd stay here as we return yearly to celebrate our anniversary. They've become an adults only resort- which is nice for a quiet children-free stay. Not much. Breakfast could have more variety. Depends on which room you've booked but the joined bungalows with garden view don't have much sound proofing so we could hear full conversations next door.

• Sara-lee (10/5): Excellent stay!! - The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The location was perfect as we could travel to nearby villages. Very quiet, private area. Exactly what we were looking for. Nothing.
• Rosina1968 (9/5): Beautiful paradise - Beautiful beach front Bure/ cottage. Comfortable beds , good bathroom & good AC. Good Wifi for $40 for 3 days. Free wifi in the restaurant area. Beautiful immaculate gardens & pool, very friendly staff. Lovely snorkeling a few steps from the front door. Lots of blue, yellow & stripey fish..bring reef shoes for the coral. There's a restaurant & bar. It's about a 10min ride to the next cafe/ shops. The roads are pretty good, too. Vinaka Tambua Sands. No tv remote. But I didn't really care , who wants to watch tv on holiday? .
• Wati (10/5): -
• Ashnita (10/5): -
• Dominic (7/5): Good. Paying for all the tours/events seems a bit much. - Breakfast was not very substantial, too slow (we needed to leave early) Karaoke at dinner was intrusive
• Steve (9/5): -
• Anaru (10/5): Exceptional - The food that was served at restaurant yummy continental breakfast which was free and the nig breakfast you pay for was filling tasty the shower nice and hot always had free wifi friendly staff helpful
• Layla (10/5): Short stop though - The staff & it was clean Nothing — should have stayed for longer
• Kylie (10/5): Unforgettable Stay at Tambua Sands - I cannot praise or compliment the staff at Tambua Sands enough. They made my partner’s and my stay truly memorable, something we’ll cherish for years to come. From the moment we arrived, Mila at the reception welcomed us with a gorgeous smile and a gentle voice that instantly made us feel at home. Marica at the restaurant was generous and vibrant, always bringing warmth to our dining experience. Tuisabeto, the activity guide, was both encouraging and humorous, making every adventure more enjoyable. Our cleaner, Marere, brought joy and beauty into our room every day, while Waisake, the security guard, was both charming and efficient. And Ratu and Sami, the gardeners, greeted us daily with such gentleness and genuine curiosity, it was truly touching. Vinaka vakalevu to the entire team at Tambua Sands! Kylie & Kathryn
• Joy (10/5): Tambua Sands was our favourite resort we stayed in during our time in Fiji. The staff are very lovely and warm. During o - The staff are all lovely, very helpful, and always warm. We like how the resort is an adult only resort. We enjoyed how peaceful and quiet it was. Only the location.
• Moana (7/5): It’s pleasant, peaceful and scenic, but food isn’t great. - Good views. Enough space to find a quiet place. Comfortable hammocks. Good water pressure for the showers. Body wash, shampoo, and conditioner are in wall-mounted dispensers for easy use. Friendly staff. Group activities. Food was so-so. All lights were low lights, probably for the ambience, but at least one brighter room light would have been nice.
• Wessel (4/5): An overpriced resort that lost its character. - I’ll start with the good: The villas are great — just as advertised. They’re well maintained and clean, with a nice welcome note made from leaves on the bed. The shower is good, the air conditioning works well, and for the most part, the villas feel private. Our villa was part of a two-in-one building, designed for families booking two villas together. There’s no real soundproofing, though, so you can hear quite a lot from the neighboring villa. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. Each villa has its own outdoor seating area, there are hammocks, and the pool is great. During our stay, there were plenty of sun loungers available around the pool. Most of the staff were very friendly and welcoming — always offering a smile, a hello, and a bit of small talk. Then, the bad: The resort is pretty much on the main road. From the pool and from our villa, there’s only a bit of garden and a small fence separating you from the road. Road noise is pretty bad during the day and still noticeable at night. It gets better for the beachfront villas, as they’re set back a bit from the road — though you still won’t get that idyllic, paradise, middle-of-nowhere feel. Even though the resort is on the main road, it’s somewhat isolated. If you want to eat elsewhere, you’ll need to call a taxi. You can’t really swim in the ocean here, as there’s a large shallow area in front of the resort. We did see people with snorkeling gear, but it’s not like you’ll be diving straight into deep water. The main building (reception, restaurant, and bar) has completely lost its charm. There’s a reason they don’t show it in the photos. They still use old pictures on their own website, which show a nice, inviting space — but it’s nothing like that anymore: barely any décor, just one big, sad, dull room. Lastly, the awful: The breakfast buffet is an absolute joke. It is by far the worst we’ve had at a hotel — maybe even including our Airbnb stays. You can choose from: • Bread that’s already somewhat stale, with single-use packets of peanut butter, apricot jam, marmalade, and butter. • Cornflakes or chocolate puffed rice cereal, with milk poured straight from the carton. • Banana (cut into thirds with the peel still on), watermelon, or papaya. • Multi-fruit juice, tea, or instant coffee — again, from single-use packets. They do have fresh, authentic Fijian pancakes, which are good — I’ll give them that. If you want anything else for breakfast, you’ll need to order from their grossly overpriced à la carte menu. The same goes for anything else food-related at the resort: lunch and dinner are always the same menu, and the food is very, very mediocre. I don’t mind paying extra — it’s a holiday, after all — but not when the food doesn’t match the price tag.
• Tilly22 (9/5): Superb - We loved how peaceful it was, right on the beach front with gorgeous well-maintained grounds, individual bures, that were well equipped, neat and tidy and ever so quiet. If you want extensive facilities, lots of food and drink options, loads of activities etc, this probably isn't the place for you, but if you want an intimate, child-free, small retreat you will love Tambua Sands We hired a car, but if you didn't have a car you would be very limited with what you could do. There are little bits and pieces that could do with a scrub up, i.e., pool table was pretty rough, little bit of wear and tear in rooms etc but over all we loved it all
• Kay (9/5): Superb -
• Anna (6/5): Would not stay again - We stayed in a private pool Bure it was lovely , nice beach and gorgeous setting, loved the old style resort gardens The staff were not overly friendly with some being quite rude. The common area lacked any atmosphere and was quite strangely put together. The food was appalling and being so far from anywhere else we were stuck there, the included breakfast buffet was disappointing, a bit of toast, cereal , fruit, cordial and tea/coffee
• Lorraine (10/5): Exceptional - The staff were so friendly and helpful. Nothing was a drama for them. They farewelled us with a song. Decorated our bed wishes us safe travels home. Really beautiful people. The restaurant wasn't great
• Neil (9/5): Superb - Great quiet location right on the beach. Very well maintained grounds. Very friendly and helpful staff.
• Kesh (7/5): Good - Friendly staff
• Fairhall (6/5): Pleasant -
• Adrian (8/5): Very good -
• Charlotte (8/5): Very good -
• Louise (8/5): Quiet adults-only retreat - Quiet retreat with few other guests at end of rainy season. Breakfast offerings lean. No meal plan option & food/drinks very expensive on site. No nearby grocery stores.
• Danielle (7/5): Had a really good time!! - Friendly staff enjoyed the karaoke night. Kokoda Demonstration by Tui.
• Moira (8/5): Very good -
• Varomue (8/5): Staff were genuinely friendly was the first thing experienced when arrived,it’s peaceful n beautiful - Peaceful and quiet Not really a bad thing but when it rained, it poured and when it poured, no chance of getting to reception/foyer without getting wet as we did not have umbrellas. Abit of rain didn’t hurt no one but dressed to go somewhere can be abit of a drench after the walk. But a suggestion to hopefully supply umbrellas that guests can use as part of the stay, incase of rainy days :) as we don’t usually travel with umbrellas to the tropics 💞 overall can not fault you so Thankyou for a beautiful memorable stay
• Yanna (5/5): Sad rooms and facilities, location saves the day - The location is perfection!!! Right in front of the coral coast/beach. Breathtaking views every day! Staff from reception/restaurant are pretty lost but the maintenance ones are amazing people! Do yourself a favour and get a car to stay there. The restaurant is terrible and takes ages to serve (we usually had to wait 1,5 hours - 2 hours for dinner/lunch, and it's extremely overpriced. Lots of good restaurants within a 15-minute drive. Some days they didn't even have water to sell, we had to drink soda. Unfortunately, we didn't have a car and had to endure the food almost every day. The rooms are very outdated and you have to almost fight for basic stuff, like a remote control.
• Katie (8/5): Amazing, Quiet Resort, Comfortable & Relaxing Space - Peaceful & Quiet Clean & Friendly Staff Distance away from Attractions
• Edithw13 (7/5): Stunning location. Lovely staff. - The location is really beautiful and the staff were friendly, attentive and welcoming. We enjoyed swimming in the pool and gazing out at the beach bonfire started by one of the staff on the Friday evening while we enjoyed our dinner. The food we had for dinner was rather disappointing for a resort, one of the most basic meals I had during my entire trip. It would be better if the menu were more limited with dishes that the kitchen has truly mastered. The room was also set up as if we were a couple but we were friends travelling together that weren't planning to share the main bed. Breakfast starts too late if you want to make it to Nadi Airport for a flight in the morning.
• Ross (6/5): Leisurely but frustrating - Great venue, nice well kept grounds and the rooms were clean. Staff very friendly. There are many things this place can work on to improve. Unfortunately a lot of past reviews problems have not been addressed. Dining at this place is terrible. The first day we ordered a pizza and chicken wings that took nearly an hour (there were only 4 other people ) then at dinner We then waited 1 hr 45 min for two beef burgers that were very average ( again only 10 other people) Due to this We ate at the hotel down the road for the remainder of our stay. This was a common theme with all other guests at the hotel. The hotel only had 25 rooms , most couples, so the food is something they should be able to get right ! Both Kayaks had holes in , resulting in sinking . Rooms have tv, but no remote, when we asked for one we had too wait a day to get it to find the tvs don’t work anyway. WiFi We were told was free and worked everywhere… not the case and they change the password daily … which they don’t tell you. This hotel could be great , but these things really let it down and clearly are not being addressed.
• Susie (9/5): The staff are AMAZING - Beautiful grounds, lovely beach.
• Iza (3/5): Don’t buy with breakfast ! Waist of money! - Great location, quiet place BREAKFAST IS A JOKE! Bread butter jam coffee tea that’s all you get, they say it’s continental breakfast, staff not really helpful it’s all about the money! This place needs a proper clean and maintenance, nothing works properly!
• Worldtraveler (9/5): Excellent resort in paradise - - location - staff - value for money - dinner - service - shallow beach, swimming only during high tide - music system in main dining area OK, but could go on your nerves eventually
• Theodora (10/5): Spectacular stay! - Spectacular stay! We loved! Staff were amazing and friendly and polite! Very clean! Stunning view and lovely beach! We would definitely go back! Food was good! Breakfast could have been a little better for the money we paid to included! We had to ask a few times for towels in the room! The beach is not “swimmable” maybe in early early morning when tide is high you can swim a little and snorkel! But later in the day you can only use the pool!
• Monika (1/5): Bad - Nothing No internet service in room Morning tym no water coming call n asked for bottle of water so that we can brush saying no water in resort
• Beatrice (8/5): Very good -
• Anona (10/5): Exceptional -
• Wendy (8/5): Ok. Not sure I’d go back - Great property. Lovely beach. Bures were clean and overall pretty good. Limited amenities in bure Dim lighting TV was difficult to use with no instructions Wifi was a problem. Bed not made up on arrival and was made to feel it was my fault for asking for it to be done. In fact it wasn’t done. All I got was a sheet and I had to make it myself - on the first night.
• Mamta (5/5): Lovly and peaceful - We got the rooms as per our request. The view was lovely and the environment was peaceful. The surroundings were very clean even the rooms. Very friendly staff. The pool was clean and deep enough. The food that we ordered was not at all worth the money. Very expensive food and drinks and the quantity wasn't good enough. The taste of chilli lamb was not at all good and sweet and sour chicken didn't have salt. Luckly Sitar and Baravi restaurant was few minutes drive away. Manged to have decent food there. Also car park was bit of a walk away from the rooms and there was no buggy to carry our bag's. Breakfast was average.
• Maria (9/5): the room was well presented , we enjoyed our stay despite the above . - it was worth the money . awesome service from the staff ! we didn't have a tv remote in our room & our room couldn't lock . it was reported to the reception but it still wasn't fixed .
• Timr (9/5): Awesome 👌 - Privacy and the food. Nice relaxing atmosphere with friendly staff. Nothing.
• Anthony (10/5): Exceptional -
• Prasanna (8/5): Overral good stay - Located next to the beach, the property offers a lovely setting and a beach with lots of corals overlooking pacific ocean. While swimming can be challenging due to the corals, the beach itself is stunning. The property is well-maintained, featuring beautiful little cabanas. Unfortunately, I was downgraded to a cabana at the far end due to an issue with the one I had originally booked, even though I had paid for a better option. Be aware that the location is 20 km east of Sigatoka town, even though the Booking app indicates the site is very close to Sigatoka. This caused significant inconvenience for me, as my driver had to travel all the way from Sigatoka to pick me up the following morning. Additionally, the food was expensive compared to Suva.
• Prasad (1/5): Bad - Friendly staffs Firstly, the food was pathetic. For dinner, we ordered a pizza which was so hard and chewy and chillie lamb which was overcooked and burnt and very little portion, not worth the price. On top of that we had to wait for about 1.5 hours after ordering for food to arrive as their was only 1 chef working as told by the staffs. The continental breakfast was no good either with burnt loaf slices, and there was no proper serving bowls or spoons when we arrived, had to ask for it instead. In addition, the beach was dirty and a sea full of algae drifting ashore, not suitable for swimming or doing any water activities. Thirdly, the rooms did not have free wifi either, and the mobile network was bad as hell. Finally, the TV was only for display as it was locked and remote was missing, had to pay extra if want to use. Overall, it was the worst experience ever.
• Taraivini (7/5): Good -
• Diana (7/5): Would definitely stay again. We had a wonderful time. - wonderful friendly staff, lovely location, quiet relaxing resort, good facilities. provide cheaper bottled water & cheaper snacks - they was very expensive. Not enough beach towels. There were a few times when I asked for a fresh towel and it couldn't be provided at the time. More variety (or changes) on the menu would be helpful. Somewhere to wash the sand off your feet before you went into the bungalow or an outside shower to wash off the salt water.
• Anna (10/5): Tambua Sands Resort treated us beautifully and we would wouldn't hesitate to go back. - A beautiful spot with lovely, friendly and helpful staff. The food was great and we were rapt that we chose the continental breakfast inclusive option. The room was clean, comfortable and air conditioner was a treat. Highly recommend.
• Amelia (9/5): Relaxing and quiet, snorkeling - The cottages and the beach and the pool. Easy bus ride to town nearby No wifi, no drinking water, have to bring your own
• Campbell (10/5): Exceptional - Absolute brilliant place! Group of us stayed here for 4 nights. Staff were the nicest people. Probably the best part of the place. Location is really beautiful right on the beach. Will definitely be coming back to Tembua Sands. Bula!!!
• Jasmine (7/5): A nice location and relaxed feel. - Bungalows were set out in a nice relaxed environment. Some management staff weren’t very friendly and we waited an exceptionally long time for dinner.
• Kathy (10/5): Tambua Sands Beach Resort is the perfect way to unwind in Fiji! - The amenities were fantastic, but the staff is what made our stay so memorable. No matter where we were, the staff knew our names and treated us like family. From knowing our likes at the bar to putting beautiful hibiscus on the pillows, I couldn't asked for more. Take advantage of dining with the young man who does the fresh mahi mahi with coconut milk, what a treat! I have traveled many places around the world and this little hidden gem was among my favorite! It took be a couple days to realize I could order a hot breakfast. But, I also didn't ask right away!
• Warren (8/5): Overall we had a lovely stay, the staff were friendly and obliging. The snorkelling was amazing. - Location on the coral coast is excellent, the access to the water and views from the Bura. The food was generally good, service at times was slow, basic continental breakfast but fruit was full of flavour. The resort is small but that is what makes it appealing and more personal with guests and staff alike. The location being somewhat isolated means to get to and from the main tourist areas and enjoy the tours that are on offer requires a lot of time travelling in a bus or taxi which is a real pain. The resort prices are also quite expensive for food and beverages. The Wi Fi should be a one time log on and free to guests. Also paying a deposit for the tv remote of $250 Fiji is outrageous - nowhere else in the world have I come across this. Also a welcome pack in the room with information on local tours, activities etc, plus a bottle of water wouldn’t go astray.
• Satinder (10/5): Good place to stay - Location
• Tanya (8/5): Very good - Quiet Individual burre, lovely. The tour to Lawai pottery village Need insect screens on doors too, if you like the door open Pricey food/drinks & limited menu In-house activities cancelled. No outside covered sitting area, although if you like the sun a lot there are open areas No souvenirs. Watch out for the gouging taxis
• Mohammed (8/5): Very good -
• Mcgarry (7/5): BEAUTIFUL LOCATION, AMAZING AND WELCOMING LOCAL STAFF. A LONG WAY FROM ACTIVITIES - STAFF ARE AMAZING AND CAN'T DO ENOUGH FOR YOU. VERY FRIENDLY AND ACCOMMODATING. THE BEACH WAS BEAUTFIUL WHEN THE TIDES WERE RIGHT. THE VIEWS FROM THE RESORT ARE BEAUTIFUL WHEN THE SUN IS SHINING. THE GROUNDS OF THE RESORT WERE KEPT IMMACULATE BY THE STAFF, BUT THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME LEVELLING. I IMAGINE SOMEONE WITH LIMITED MOBILITY WOULD FIND NEGOTIATING THE TERRAIN VERY CHALLENGING. SECURITY ALSO DO AN AMAZING JOB OF MAINTAINING THE SERENITY OF THE RESORT. IF YOU ARE AFTER A HOLIDAY WHERE YOU CAN SIT BACK RELAX, SWIM AND DO NOTHING, THIS IS THE PERFECT RESORT. THIS RESORT COULD BE AN ABSOLUTE GEM WITH MORE INVESTMENT AND A FEW TWEAKS IN MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS AND RESOURCES. WARWICK HOTELS NEED TO LIFT THEIR GAME IN REGARD TO SUPPLIES AT THE RESORT. THERE WAS A CONSTAINT SHORT SUPPLY OF BATH AND BEACH TOWELS. INCLUDED BREAKFAST NEEDS A BIT OF A LIFT AND LACKS BASICS LIKE FRESH COLD WATER AND SKIM MILK. FRUIT WAS AT TIMES LIMITED AND OCCASIONALLY LACKED QUALITY. TWO CEREAL CHOICES - COCO POPS AND CORNFLAKES. MAYBE SOME HEALTHIER OPTIONS LIKE SOME YOGURT AND FRESH JUICES. THE ROAD NOISE AT THE BACK CABINS IS OF CONCERN, LUCKILY, WE WERE BEACH-FRONT AND IT DIDNT EFFECT US TOO MUCH. THE DISTANCE FROM ALL ACTIVITIES WAS A REAL ISSUE, TAKING 1 3/4 HOURS TO REACH NADI WHERE MOST ACTIVITIES / DAYTRIPS DEPART. THERE WERE VERY FEW OTHER RESTAURANTS CLOSE TO THE RESORT, AND NONE WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE. PRICES OF DRINKS WAS TOO HIGH, ESPECIALLY WHEN COMPARING TO OTHER OUTLETS THAT WERE OF SUPERIOR RATING AND QUALITY.
• Kath (10/5): Exceptional -
• Steven (7/5): Not to bad - Staff Lack of towels
