Independent Southern Islands hotels

"Great place, but old and dated. The golf course across the street is completely rundown and overgrown. I wouldn’t stay here again. I feel sorry for the amazing staff who are awesome."

"My son and I enjoyed our stay such friendly nice staff!"

"Amazing 5* stay, had everything we needed and view of the beach. Easy 1hr transfer from the airport with kids. "

"This beautiful island boasts an amazing and friendly staff. However, there are a few areas that could use some upgrades, such as the shower heads and the buffet options. If you’re planning a short stay, the food may not be as exciting. "

"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!"
