"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."

"For families, but also couples, groups a perfect get-away. A 2 hour drive from Nadi airport, but gives a good view of the land. Resort spacious and lots of extra facilities to stay on the resort for 5 days. But also options to visit surrounding by taxi, van or bus. All inclusive a blessing with kids in the peak season. But without kids, I would have chosen to order from the menu. They are working on a extension of the beach. Not great for beachlife at this moment, but taking the kayak out is also lots of fun. Swimmingpool is great!"

"Was a great stay, can’t fault it!"

"We had a great stay at Fiji palms the staff are all amazing, friendly and helpful, the garden staff do such a great job of maintaining the beautiful grounds, the restaurant staff Elvin, Dee, Linda to mention a few there were others who we didn't grab their names that were all fantastic, the reception staff helped us work out bus routes and tours and were so knowledgeable they made the stay so relaxing and the perfect place to unwind not overrun with tourists, close to shops and a dive centre. A little maintenance required here and there but we would visit again in a heartbeat 💓 "

"The location is beautiful and the staff are lovely people, however, the amenities were not as advertised. Most things (gym, laundry, glass boat, water slide, restaurants, ice cream parlour) were not working, or they were unavailable. I wish I had known beforehand so I could have planned better. It is kid-friendly, and the pool was great, but there was not much else in terms of activities for the kids. There is an obvious ownership or management issue and I wish the staff had better conditions to do their best because they are beautiful and talented people. Staff does a great job with what they have to work with and were the highlight of the stay. We heard from others who had stayed here before that things weren’t the same and I hope this resort can live up to its potential again because it is a beautiful place. "

"Great value for money. Very clean Excellent restaurant Helpful staff"

"Steps to go to villas. Not suitable for older people or disabilities. Reasonable value for money. Pool good size. Nice views. Restaurant staff are not knowledgeable and food is sub-par. Lagilagi spa is fantastic."

"Breakfast buffet was incredible - came with a 7 and 10 year old - pool was too crowded for us - the adult only pool was beautiful - the beach was very nice - great location - lived the nearby crab shack for lunch option"

"The dorms were great value for money with continental breakfast included. Staff are the best at the bar. Rooms and bathrooms are clean and tidy, serviced regularly. Look forward to staying again "
