The resort area is very nice and relaxing. Loungers at the rooms would be a nice touch. Very remote location. Need a car. The people are very nice however resort is cheaply run. Restaurant is not great and very overpriced. Breakfast is included but is very basic and usually under serviced not enough cups, cutlery, food etc. Would have expected water in the room upon arrival minimally until it could be purchased but was disappointed when I arrived late and stores/restaurants were closed. Shortage of linen as we had to wait for towels everyday.

The beautiful people of Fiji never fail to please. Love the relaxed and friendly true Fijian people. Lovely place to stay. Bit disappointing there were under 12 year olds staying when it clearly states child free. Otherwise thoroughly recommend.

Great staff. Very accommodating and informative. Screen free rooms were a great experience.

Friendly staff. Place is a bit noisy....given the highway is very close.

Perfect ! All the staff were super kind !

No wifi or tv available. Breakfast was just cereal and bread.

Nice quite remote small resort,food and food services needs a big big overhaul

Awesome Fijian hospitality, great service and friendly staff. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay! BULA!!!

The property is beautiful. The people are beautiful! Stayed in a little bure on the beachfront. It's a bit dated, but they keep them very clean. The bed was very comfortable, nice towels, pillows and bedding. The beach is not swimmable as the reef keeps the water back and the area in front of the resort is full of coral. It is very warm though and you can wade in it and sit in it if you want. The restaurant has a decent menu, prices are reasonable. The breakfast that is included is ok, cereal, juice, fruit and toast. You can order off the menu too. If you want to go anywhere they will call a taxi for you. Costs about 20-25 dollars FJD. There is nothing near the resort that you can walk to. The activity director tries very hard to arrange activities at the resort. There were very few people when we were there, so it made his job difficult!!! A lovely resort - we were lucky to be there with only a few others!!! If you want connection via your phone - get a sim card!!!! Wifi is not available except in lobby and it's sketchy!!!

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.

I did not like the power of the laudspeaker. To laud and the Karaokenoice also by the dinner.

Perfect place to unwind, quiet, staff were super friendly and helpful

Like staff location Dislike internet access

The staff were amazing, very lovely people in a very peaceful relaxed environment, perfect for unwinding and reading a book by the beach.

The staff and food were excellent. The property is beautiful and the snorkeling was awesome.

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.

Staff were great with their very friendly Fijian hospitality. Location is very good....so peaceful and serene. Loved the stay. Thanks

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.

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.

Absolutely incredible place to stay

Staff are great and the location and peacefulness of the place are fantastic

The staff were amazing and the villas were beautiful. I do wish there were more activities and food options at the onsite restaurant.

Enjoyed the snorkeling and swimming but units lack tvs gaps around door etc let mossies in no veranda so rain come through door just to dated to be comfortable

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.

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:)
