Very friendly and helpful staff. The beach, coconut trees and crystal clear waters were spectacular. We loved relaxing by the pools. We had lunch and dinner several times at the resort's restaurant and found the meals very delicious.

Massively disappointed. We booked & paid for a private plunge pool bure and arrived at the hotel to find we had a been allocated a beach front bure. The hotel did nothing to compensate or reimburse the difference in cost. Look at the bad reviews on most booking platforms, it seems to have happened regularly at Tambua Sands.

While not a high end property, I would go back. There were issues with the TV and we couldn't adjust the temperature but we loved the small group, family vibe. The food was ok, but good value considering. The staff was great. Loved the location.

Tambua is an amazing Adult Only resort, it is quiet and the grounds and rooms are immaculate. Food is well priced and good quality. The staff are absolutely amazing especially Toui and Jim.

This was the perfect place for me to stay as a solo traveller. My beach hut had air conditioning and a very comfortable bed. There was a hammock outside that was my favorite feature. The resort cat was such a lovey ginger boy.

Very neglected resort. No money is going into the rooms/villas. The staff is hit & miss, pressured upselling for everything if not registered to the all-inclusive option. Management is pinching Pennies anywhere possible. Arrived at 8pm on a Tuesday night and the lobby was dark and no one to provide info. On hours for restaurant, how to connect with wifi or password, no one to help with linens, no bottled water or prepackaged snack for the room. We had a security guard drag our carry-ons through dirt and gravel to our room as a welcome. The beach/ocean is ankle deep most of the day, not suitable for swimming with all the huge rocks in the way. Expensive meals and drinks. Not what we saw on this website, I hope this helps others.

We stayed two weeks at Tambua Sands Beach Resort on Fiji’s Coral Coast as an adults-only couples resort. The location is stunning—the protected lagoon, beach, and sunsets are spectacular. What impressed us most was the genuine warmth and friendliness of the local Fijian people. Resort gardening staff and housekeepers were outstanding—always smiling and helpful. Locals in the surrounding area were equally kind. Rooms were decent and cozy, reasonably clean for beachfront (expect sand). Housekeeping excelled. Drawbacks: unnecessary extra twin bed, inconsistent bathroom light, stretching mats not allowed in room, daily WiFi resets, and no microwave to prepare your own food. Dining was the biggest issue. The only nearby option was the resort restaurant, it serves mostly processed, greasy food. With wheat/egg allergies clearly stated, staff lacked training. A “safe” hamburger had egg in it which triggered my worst reaction—I was bedridden the entire second week. Vegetables washed in local water made half resort customers sick. Laundry returned smelling worse than when taken in. We left a night early due to illness but were still charged. Airport transfers exceeded local taxi prices. The warm local staff and community shine, but the owner chooses processed foods over quality. Better allergy training, fresher non processed food options would transform this beautiful spot. Great potential for a peaceful retreat. Recommend cautiously and only for those without dietary restrictions.

the individual units with air conditioning were great and the location is fine if you don't mind being 1-2 hrs from the action. I like it very much but it may not be the best for everyone so do your homework. the restaurant is average and not the type you expect for a resort experience. there are no nearby restaurants so unless you want to taxi $30 away or settle for a burger or mediocre fish dinner there are few alternatives. But to rest in a remote location on a beautiful beach and snorkel a wonderful area this is fine. I suggest shopping for some fine foods to have in your unit for your stay to treat yourself to during your stay.

This resort is a beautiful, quiet, near perfect place to relax, if you can overlook a few short comings. We stayed in the beachfront bure with plunge pool, and I highly recommend it. The ocean is very calm, the waves crash about 100 yards onto the reef and very few waves reached the shore. There is coral and sea life everywhere. When the tide is high it is chest deep, good for swimming and kayaking, and when the tide is low, you can walk very far out and look at the sea life. The property is very well maintained and very natural with palm trees and coconuts lying every where. The staff can call you a car and it’s a short drive to nearby shopping and restaurants and the driver will wait in town until you are ready to head back. The short comings I mentioned are mostly the staff and the food. The staff means well and are very nice, but could do much better. For instance, it took three days of asking to get a tv remote. We were pretty disappointed in the food and the fact that between the waitresses and cooks, they often didn’t get our orders right. We bought some snacks in town and skipped a few meals at the restaurant. We also learned that the snacks on their menu were better than their main dishes. Having said all of this, we would definitely stay here again because we don’t let a few issues ruin a great stay. We loved that it wasn’t crowded and has no kids. It felt completely fine to sunbathe and swim at our bure with or without clothes. It’s a 90 minute ride to Nadi airprt

Loved looking out to the ocean views from my bed . The resort is perfect for a relaxing getaway. Very friendly staff, that do go the extra mile for you.
