Tambua Sands Beach Resort

Quite happy with the accommodation, perfectly in line with current rating (4/5). People are incredibly friendly, are willing to have a talk when you are open to but also don't mind if it stays with a general greeting. Breakfast is limited, but you can make it more luxurious with paid options (eggs etc). Dinner with a lot of choice.

We only stayed two nights but really liked the hotel. This was a 'try out' stay for us! This is definitely not a 2 star rated resort. Alot of work has been completed here. The rooms are very contemporary and well appointed. The pool is sparkling clean! Well done ro Ronnie the pool attendant who takes great pride in keeping the water crystal clear. A new deck is to be built around the pool in 2024. Tui was excellent with his cooking demonstration and Masu was very funny behind the bar. These guys added to the quality of our short stay! The dining area, unlike the bures is very bland and really needs some Fijian character. The food is, at best, very good. Slightly more pricey than other resorts we have stayed in at Fiji over 5 weeks in 2023. The cocktails are also more pricey. Unless you have a car, the resort appears isolated from other eateries. Overall though, we enjoyed our two nights and would consider a return.

I had a terrible experience at this hotel. The service was abysmal, with staff displaying complete indifference to guests' needs and paying no attention. Not only was the room lacking cleanliness, but it also had a distinct odor. I wouldn't recommend staying here to anyone looking for a comfortable and pleasant stay. Very poor quality service; no cleanliness u can see from the photos; spend so much but got nothing in return; food taste is awful. Thank you

A beautiful setting…… The Beach good…and great hammock ….we swam in the ocean with our old shoes on was great …..A delightful man Wies who carried our bags to the back of the resort..(the end cabin ) A long way ….Basic food ….Fijian style but delightful staff Thank you

Very friendly staff, nice food.

If you are after a quiet friendly small place to stay this is the resort for you. We had one of the plunge pool ocean bures. They are really beautiful. Ours had a shower an outdoor private shower plus a bath. They were spotlessly clean. There are no TV's in the room although they told me they are looking into putting them in.We are happy without tv. The WiFi only works in the reception area. They also say they are looking into putting it in the rooms. But you don't go there to sit on your devices or watch TV. Meals are getting more variety every time we go. They make mean mudslides. Plenty of choices now. Breakfast is still complimentary basic continental but there is an option to order hot breakfast ( paid). There are some cultural activities offered by the wonderfulTui. They have a tour desk to book tours, car hire, taxi and transfers. It was so relaxing. The staff are wonderful. Nothing is too much trouble. You arrive as guests but leave as family. If you are looking for all the bells and whistles and constant activities this is not the place for you. If you want an authentic Fijian holiday it's worth trying. I have been coming here for nearly 40 years. It gets better every time. It gets harder and harder to say goodbye. Til next time. Soon I hope.

The resort was in a great position with all Burres being waterfront. The staff went out of their way to be helpful. Every meal we had was delicious. It was a small boutique resort with a small number of guests. We could snorkel straight out the front of the hotel. The only improvement I would Suggest is new pool cues and table tennis addles

Many thanks to all the wonderful staff at Tambua Sands for a most perfect family holiday. From the security staff to grounds people and housekeeping as well as front of house staff-we appreciated all that you do and your friendliness and helpfulness during our recent stay. We loved the location-it had a wonderful reef, which we snorkelled in high tide (too low in low tide) and saw a huge array of fish species. The bungalows/ villas perfectly accommodated our family of 3. The beds were super comfortable. The tea/ coffee making supplies in our room were well utilized. We found the location great , as it provided some options for eating out locally at Mui Bay and Baravi Cafe. We did have a pizza at the resort , which was delicious. There were activities at the resort-which we enjoyed a friendly game of volleyball with other guests and staff. The pool was lovely with sunlounges and great views. We really enjoyed that it was adult only (we did take our respectful 17yo with us) so it was quieter than other resorts and more peaceful. The villas closer to the road can be slightly noisier, but usually the noise was drowned out by air-condition and or fan in room. We were honoured to be part of Fiji day celebrations at the resort on 10/10/24 and learn more about Fiji's culture and history-Vinaka. Tambua Sands fit our needs perfectly for a family get away-we were not after 5 star facilities but something quieter and smaller in a great location and not too big. We would definitely love to come back to Tambua Sands and all the gorgeous staff we met. We met a number of locals on the local public bus as well as "Fijian hitch-hiking"-and loved hearing about local life and getting tips on travel from locals. we were sad to leave but will be so happy to return. Vinaka Sota Tale.

I have nothing but superlatives to describe my stay here. The grounds were beautiful and well kept. The beach was amazing as well as the lagoon in front of the property. The accomodations were great but above all, the staff were the stars of the show as they were exceedingly nice, hospitable, welcoming and accommodating. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here and I would like to say Vinaka Vakalevu to the Tambua Sands crew for making me feel right at home. TL;DR 10/10 would recommend
