Staff were so friendly!! Being steps away from the ocean was amazing and the snorkelling off the resort was great. Definitely go at high tide. The grounds were beautiful and the food was great! Only stayed for two nights but wish I could’ve stayed longer. Was incredibly relaxing

After 15 trips to Fiji staying in a wide variety of locations unfortunately this is the first bad experience we've had.
Tambua Sands is a lovely location and a well presented resort. But I've never come across a place that had none of the positive feel and soul of Fiji. The staff were withdrawn and didn't appear to be enjoying themselves - the opposite of all of our other experiences in Fiji. The resort was quite empty, but although it said adults only we had a family with children in the adjoining Bure.
This was the only resort in Fiji we've been to where we were asked to pay for the standard daily activities, with the reason we were given not making any sense at all.
We were booked for 8 nights, but decided to leave after only 3 knowing we would lose the money we paid for the remaining nights - but we wanted to have our usual uplifting, fun, relaxing Fiji holiday.
When we checked out the Manager came to see us and we were politely honest about our experience, to which she apologised and said they had to charge us for activities to help pay the land owners of the resort - however it is our understanding that this is no different from other resorts arrangements with their landowners.
If we knew the money was going directly to a good cause we would have supported the idea.
I really don't like writing my first ever negative review for any holiday we've had anywhere, but I feel a really good place has lost it's soul and isn't living and passing on the wonderful Fiji spirit

The overall venue is nice and clean, staff were kind, and we really liked our accommodation directly at the beach. The beach is beautiful. Breakfast was free for us. We had dinner at Tambua Sands several times, the food quality was great.
I would have given 5 stars if not for the following reasons:
- Swimming is not possible at the beach (it's a coral beach - you can go snorkling though)
- There are no shops near the Resort, you better rent a car to get around
- We think some items available for purchase at the Resort are heavily overpriced. You basically pay Australian prices or more, which I don't think is appropriate or fair. E.g. you pay $10 for a 1 litre bottle of water.
- Breakfast is very very basic. Just toast, butter, jam, honey, peanut butter, plus fruits. Everything else must be purchased.
- Food ordered for dinner took very long to arrive, sometimes 1.5 hours
- We were mistakenly charged some of the expenses of other guests and it took the Resort too long to rectify this.
PLEASE NOTE, Tambua Sands Beach Resort is NOT part of the Outrigger Resort in Korotogo. The current Google location of Tambua Sands Beach Resort is incorrect. Tambua Sands Beach Resort is located around 15km further towards Suva, just east of the small villaga Namada.

The property is well maintained and the staff is lovely.
However, our air conditioner could barely keep the room cool during the day... it was really hot
Also, meal service was very slow, even to Fiji standards. We were a party of 8 and time between food arrival to 1st and last of us could be close to an hour.

Overall, we are happy with our visit to the resort, but I do have some remarks about missed cleaning of the bungalow on one of the days. The night light was constantly not working. There is not much light in the bungalow at night, and on top of that, our porch had no outside lighting. On arrival we were placed in connecting rooms which is unacceptable to us as a couple. The next day we were moved. The breakfast provided is a disaster and would be better off without it. One day I had to wait 1 hour for the gentleman who was in charge of the tours offered on site.

We had the most AMAZING stay for our honeymoon in room 5. There was enough privacy and spacious rooms. Highly recommend for those that love a slow pace relaxing holiday but also can have some fun with the entertaining staff. Staff were absolutely lovely & always had a smile on their dial. Special thanks to Mesu, big Joe, Sonny, Bou, Dale & all the other lovely staff! We will tell all our friends & family about this place.

Resort location is fabulous with stunning beachside views of coral coast. Beach is very quiet, at times you have it all to yourself which is very nice.
The resort food options are limited with outside alternatives a taxi ride away.

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.
3.0
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.

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.
5.0
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:)

Lovely place , very quiet and staff lovely. The food was pricey as small portions and often didnt have the essentials for the menu items such as chicken or fish. I wish they were more accepting of visitors to the resort , family couldnt pop in for a coffee as they come from the village.
4.0
Very friendly staff, they try very hard to please the guests and make their stay comfortable. Be aware: it’s quite isolated so dining choices are severely limited without a car; beach is covered in corals so we can’t swim there; broken glass washes up on the beach every single day so walk with care on the sand (not the fault of the resort).
Being an adults only accommodation, it’s quiet and relaxing and the pool makes it very enjoyable. The grounds are pristine and one walks away with long lasting memories of a team of superb people.
3.0
Perfect place to be if you want a semi-private beach experience. Our bure was right on the beach front and it took 10 seconds to get from our door to the water's edge. We always had the shared pool to ourselves, which was a great place to spot birds from and we always

easy access to beach. friendly staff. cool air conditioned rooms.
There is a need to build a bus shelter so departing clients do not have to wait for a coach on Queens Road in the scorching sun. Thanks

The property has a nice burres and beach front and good for kayaking with high tide. It has a nice open dining area, they offer a kawa ceremony, and have friendly staff.
Note currently they are adding 16 new burres so construction noise was constant during our recent stay. I'm sure it will be lovely when complete with completion expected by end of year.

Friendliness of staff, clean room, great food, great views and property location. Only concern was late arrival of clean towels and no bath mats or soap was provided for second day on property. Otherwise, everything else was fine. Will book here again.
