Fiji Cheap Vacations

Massively disappointed. We booked & paid for a private plunge pool bure and arrived at the hotel to find we had a been allocated a beach front bure. The hotel did nothing to compensate or reimburse the difference in cost. Look at the bad reviews on most booking platforms, it seems to have happened regularly at Tambua Sands.

Loved the Beachcomber!! It was perfect. Staff was Wonderful! Our room was perfect and beautiful. Beds were comfortable. Perfect sunsets!

Lovely place with super nice staff, it all about the location.

I love this resort. It is beautifully presented and its facilities are fantastic. However, it’s best quality is the staff. They are so helpful and accommodating. I always stay in a bure in the Reef section (adults only) and I will always go back. Lorraini, But Ani, and Alisi will look after you! I highly recommend it! See you next year!

Great visit. Will be back!,

Try out the beach massages run by the villagers. Great value

The staff were excellent very helpful and friendly. Fijian Staff made the stay more inviting. Will come back.

ere is a draft for a highly critical, realistic online review based on those specific complaints: ★☆☆☆☆ Disappointing Stay — Unwelcoming Staff and Tired Facilities I rarely write negative reviews, but our recent stay at the Naviti Resort was deeply disappointing, especially given the cost. The biggest letdown by far was the service. We chose Fiji expecting the warm, world-famous hospitality the islands are known for, but instead, we were met with a generally cold, unwelcoming atmosphere. Front desk staff on arrival were dismissive and unhelpful when we had a minor billing discrepancy, making us feel like an inconvenience rather than paying guests. Throughout the week, the staff at the buffet and bar areas seemed entirely unbothered and exhausted, getting a simple drink order or assistance felt like pulling teeth. When it rained there is nowhere to shelter other than your room. Overall, the lack of effort from the team and the poor state of the resort made this a stressful trip rather than a relaxing vacation. We will not be returning and would recommend looking elsewhere on the Coral Coast.

I was very disappointed with this resort. From the moment we arrived, the reception staff were unfriendly, with no smile or warm welcome. The resort is old, poorly maintained, and overpriced. Our room was not up to standard: dirty taps, a toilet that didn’t flush properly, and stained towels. The food was by far the worst we had during our three-week trip around Fiji. The quality was poor, the service was very slow, and drinks were served in plastic cups. Dining felt more like a cafeteria than a holiday resort. The organisation was also poor. I had already paid for my boat transfer but was asked to pay again on arrival. No apology was offered when the mistake was discovered. I also asked whether my booking included full board. A staff member checked my room number and confirmed that it did, but this information was completely wrong. It was also unacceptable that the resort regularly ran out of drinking water, even in the small shop. The shop was poorly stocked, with almost no snacks or ice creams for children. Overall, this resort feels like a mass-tourism destination rather than an authentic Fijian experience. For the price charged, the accommodation, food, service, maintenance, and organisation were all well below expectations. I would not stay here again or recommend it.
