We had the same experience as the previous two reviewers. Also staying in January, we got off our 14 hour flight and long drive to the hotel, only to be told that the resort was fully booked for a wedding and we were shunted off to a large resort also owned by the Warwick chain. Apparently we were supposed to... More

Arriving in the evening by local bus (two hours) from the airport following a five hour flight, we longed to rest and have something to eat. However, we were required to take an additional taxi ride to a 'sister' hotel half an hour further away. Despite being pre-booked many months previously, our room was no longer available as the whole... More

I was excited to come stay at this place as it was meant to be quiet and small. The perfect escape for me away from a busy life. We stayed for one night. But at breakfast we were approached and advised we would be moved to a MUCH BETTER resort as they had overbooked and we would be upgraded. I... More

We stayed in Jan 2013 and generally agree with the reviews posted by others for this month. The great feature of the Tambua Sands is the opportunity to stay in your own bure with an unbroken view of the nearby beach and ocean. Relaxing is so easy here as the hotel is small, the clients are not party animals and... More

We have just spent eight days at Tambua Sands. The fijian staff are just exceptional. so friendly and very pleasant. They are in the process of updating the Bures but our bechfront bure was fine. Our only complaint and this was shared by other guests was the restaurant. They just failed to deliver what was on the menu. The result... More

If you are looking for somewhere quiet, relaxing where you can walk/run on the beach and kayak this is the place for you. Beautiful white sandy beach, fabulous coconut trees lining the beach, beautiful reef and coral. Staff very friendly. If you want to get out and about best to hire a car. Food options limited esp if you don't... More

We had a mixed experience here. Firstly, the booking was very poor as I booked 3 months earlier asking for 6 beachfront villas close to each other. We were only given 3 and the rooms ranged from #1 to #20 (the furtherest away)This was 400m from the dining area/pool etc, quite a long walk! We were not given any compensation... More

We travelled as a group of 12 and stayed 3 nights. When we arrived 3 out of the 6 bures (all supposed to be beachfront) which we had booked at least a month before we're not available and we had to take ones at the back of the resort. We were able to move the next day which was quite... More

My husband and I went to Fiji for our belated honeymoon and first year anniversary. Upon arrival everything was alright we were excited to be in Fiji for 12 days. A taxi took us to our resort which was an hour and a half drive from the airport, during our trip the taxi driver warned us we shouldn't have picked... More
