Location was great! You can snorkel right off the beach into coral. The staff have activities at the property which makes it ideal to experience the Fijian culture whilst relaxing at the accommodation. If it weren’t for the lovely staff and activities, the rating would be much much lower.

The pictures online do not accurately portray the accomodation. It looks like each unit comes with a private plunge pool, this is extremely misleading. Only 2 units have this and when addressing it with the property management, they said that it’s a booking.com issue. This was handled really poorly by property management and responsibility shifted inappropriately. It was a huge disappointment given that this was a birthday trip. I was told to contact booking.com , which would go straight to the accomodation, and have never received a response to this day.

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

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

This place was perfect. The location was stunning and relaxing, everything you need for a break. Comfortable rooms that were a good size, all of them overlooking the incredible ocean that was blue even on cloudy days and lovely coral and sea life for snorkelling and you can kayak there too. They have beautiful fish dishes at the restaurant. And what really made the stay was the staff, so friendly and welcoming, I’ve never had such a good experience with staff as I did here. Fun entertaining activities and stories at night with Tui, chats with Wais and all the other during the day.

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).

The gluten free bread was better than the white bread.. Thanks for having Vegemite it was a surprise. The paw paw, pineapple nice to have tropical fruit it was delicious. My favorite part was the Kokoda demonstration and coconut toasties which you should have on your menu.. I wish I had tried it days before but there was no advertising just the information on the board.

Breakfast - ordered the French toast was very disappointing, needs to improved. The white bread not very nice. It would be great if you served coconut water for breakfast instead of apple juice.. It would be great if you had water shoes for hire for a few dollars instead we had to go to town to buy some. But all good.

From the initial first message regarding a slight mess up on my end to saying my farewells, what an outstanding service this resort provided. Food is on another level, drinks are pretty decent. It's sooooo peaceful and absolutely stunning. Never woke up on the sea side but this was a dream come true. Staff are just naturally so friendly, happy and proud of their community. Always smiling and that really shows amongst everything Already planning on coming back next year already. Thank you soooooo much for such an amazing experience.

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.

Breakfast was fine, loved the fresh tropical fruit and there was plenty to eat. Loved the location and being right on the beach. Beautiful views from everywhere. Loved the snorkelling straight out from our room. The staff were so friendly. The cook and bar staff made us feel very welcome. Tui, the event organiser, went out of his way to connect with us personally and provide fun activities. We enjoyed the local connection of this place. Pool was awesome and enjoyed the adult only environment.

The rooms are comfortable, totally adequate, but some maintenance is needed.

Absolutely beautiful property, even the garden bungalows are on the water, facing the water. Very clean, staff are amazing! Hotel entertainment is really good ( activity board ). If you don’t want to go out at other restaurants to eat, their lunch and diner menu’s are fantastic. The snorkelling was really good at low tide, can see the sunset in the distance.

It is a bit close to the road so if you do end up picking a garden view you can unfortunately hear the road but honestly the whole property makes up for it, as it’s AMAZING!!!
