We really enjoyed our stay at the Tambua Sands Beach Resort, FIJI. Chris was a standout staff member, who was so helpful. We also appreciated Mere the maid and the chefs' food was amazing. Service at the bar was good too. The rooms were clean and enjoyable within a short walk to the beach. If I could add something, it might be a small gift ship, with basic travel supplies and maybe some t-shirts as a suggestion. Only issue, if it says Adults Only, it should always be adults only.

I was traveling alone. I had my trip extended a few days, so I booked Tambua Sands. Its a nice place for the price. There were a few staff members that were great; but, overall, I found it to be a disappointing experience, to say the least. They were pushy about using their taxi people, (which significantly overcharged,) and claimed it was in the name of safety. Meanwhile, I had a random stranger message me on Facebook since the night I got there. Given that I met several friends on my holiday, I thought it might have been a mutual friend at first. After trying to get information from me, to which I did not respond, he sent me a video, clearly showing me that he was right in front of my bure. I reported this, and was met by an awkward "don't show this to anyone else. I will look into this further." Especially considering the "security" there, (nobody goes in or out without going through a gated entrance,) it was apparent that the staff seemed to know who he was. They assured me that they were investigating it. Since it was my last day in Fiji, they said they would continue to investigate and let me know the outcome. After arriving home, I received an email telling me that since I didn't actually tell him where I was, it was determined to be a "coincidence" and that the person had been "educated on how to communicate with guests," It absolutely was not a coincidence. It left me with a very uneasy feeling, and knowing that they brushed it under the rug made it more unsettling.

We loved the location, with wonderful snorkelling and beautiful grounds. Our bure was great, with good air conditioning. A car is a necessity when staying here. We travelled about to find good food, coffee and activities. We were on a romantic holiday, and struggled with the staff coming up to us constantly. We put in a request for space, and they adjusted well.

Wonderful property, fantastic and friendly staff. The 2 star rating doesn’t do it justice. The on site restaurant was great. The reef walk is definitely worth doing, really cool sea life to be seen. We would definitely stay there again when we come back to Fiji

I have been to Tambua Sands 3 times in the last so many years. I found personally that it was better when it was a Non Adults Only Resort. When the kids were there it seemed to be more lively. My husband and I are in our 60s but to us it was too quiet.

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.
