There was no structure at the hotel. Breakfast was never ready on time, we had to continually ask for cutlery, requested gluten free but this never happened. The pool table was in poor state with balls missing, the table tennis table was in poor state with the bats broken. No swimming towels for 2 days. The general management and structure of the hotel was very poor, although the staff were lovely and friendly.

Reception forgot to book our airport transfer even though they confirmed in an email that morning. Food service was slow, well over an hour most meals and it was expensive for the type and quality received. A nice enough place if you want to relax and do nothing, but it's a long way from day trips on the bus

Nice but Remote
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 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.
