Superbly presented resort........always kept clean and tidy. All staff were very friendly and helpful and contributed to this holiday in Fiji being one of the best we've ever had! The Tambua Sands resort was quiet and peaceful and is ideal for a relaxing holiday......HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

the view from the beachfront room is soooo lovely! I loved sitting on our little balcony, reading a book and drinking coffee. the room was clean, and comfortable, it was a little on the small side. they definitely need better/more comfortable chairs inside and outside the room.. some cushions on the outside chairs wouldn't go astray. this place is nice, but doesn't feel as quiet and peaceful as other places I've stayed at with people walking straight past your room all the time. breakfast was basic and good, with fresh fruit, cereal, bread with different spreads (including vegemite) fresh pineapple juice, and multiple milk options (yay). bring lots of your own snacks, fruit, water and milk for your room. the staff were lovely and accommodating, food was very salty! and they ran out of lettuce for a few days, it was also quite expensive with small portions. overall, it was a nice stay :)

The property is beautiful but the staff are less than enthusiastic to serve. Always on their cellphones and dining is a nightmare. Takes far too long to get your order and the food options are boring and limited

This resort could be so much better. Decent food and menu choices with reasonable drink prices would increase business. In addition there needs to be shade at the pool and on the dining room patio to make it more inviting. Installation of umbrellas is much needed. The chairs in the dining area are uncomfortable and more suited to a children’s resort. Would not recommend this resort but it has great potential. The beach bungalows are clean and in good shape.

When I arrived in the evening the sun was setting through the palms. The only noises were the birds and the waves 100m out. Oh the serenity 😀. Everyone is so friendly and with only about 20 rooms they can remember your name. Dinner and a beer can be less than FJD35. It's a low volume kitchen so meal service can be slow...just accept it,it's not a negative. My wifi code lasted only a day and seems to be expensive after that. Best thing is get a Digitel sim. If you like slow, peaceful and relaxed this is a definite. Room was spacious and great to just sit out the front and stare at the water.

We had a four night stay. Our bungalo unit was half of a duplex set back from the beachfront units but still with a direct view of the ocean. The unit was clean and looked as good in person as in pictures. The AC was quiet worked well enough to keep us comfortable. Nice shower and functional bath. We were close to the road but the noise wasn't a problem for sleeping. The three complaints I see in other reviews are true but should be taken in context. The staff are all lovely, friendly, speak english well, and work very hard. There are many blooming bushes like hybiscus which give the grounds are good feel. The beach is kept neat but does have broken glass, The beach isn't really swimable due to the coral reef so beach shoes are recommended. We swam in the pool each day which we pretty much had to ourselves so the lack of beach wasn't a problem. The dinner service is slow. I think they have a hard time matching staff to number of guests that eat on site each night. They ask you make reservations but they can certainly improve by staggaring sitting times. It seems most parties show up right at 7p and they are not staffed to receive more then 4 tables at time. The food however is quite good and reasonably priced. We had a car so we eat at nearby restaurants a few times but if you don't have a car the restaurant would be fine if you're patient or arrive after 8p. Finally, yes the breakfast is as basic as it can be but the coffee is good in a great setting

Amazing hotel for a quiet getaway. Lovely staff members, very helpful. Great food and loads of activities to choose from. Would definitely recommend. The only thing I'd say to consider is, if you like access to shops and restaurants, it's quite far from nearest town, but staff happy to order taxi or can get a bus.

This was our first holiday in Fiji and the 'Adults Only' of Tambua Sands Beach Resort strongly appealed to us. It's a smallish property but that enabled us to have a very relaxing holiday, without the buzz or busyness of a large resort. Our Bure provided us with the sounds of the sea both day and night. It could not have been lovelier. We visited four other resorts nearby, and Tambua was perfect. The only misgivings we had were that the breakfast was limited, there were frequently delays in meals being served, and in towels being supplied on time. The staff couldn't have been more friendly and dedicated and shared the gift of the Fijian culture so much so that we are planning to return to Fiji again next year! Thanks Tambua!
