“An amazing place to stay!”
+Loved this resort. Lovely setting on a gorgeous beach, spacious comfortable room, free airport transfers, excellent breakfast included really, really good food and the staff were next level amazing.
−The only disappointing point for me was having to pay an extra $60 per night for a single bed to be put in our room. So an extra $240 for 4 nights and there is nothing about this on their website

“Nice place to stay but services need a lot of improvement”
+The setting was beautiful and the room was clean and well-appointed. The pool was spotless and the restaurant and bar nicely decorated with a great view, vibe and good music. The food was high quality and fresh, good selection on the menu. The cocktails were excellent and there were good drink specials on offer. Complimentary airport pickup and a warm welcome from the driver.
−The resort lacked a coffee machine so guests had to visit a neighbouring resort. Spa and massage services were also unavailable. No bicycle rentals available. The general attitude of the staff towards us as guests was disappointing and unwelcoming. We were unable to book dinner on our first night as there was a function. We ended up in next door resort. We found the Tamana Resort staff next door much more approachable and friendly. During our stay, it rained and our room didn’t have any umbrellas. When we asked for one, we were given a broken one that we couldn’t use. The staff made no effort to find us a functional umbrella. Waiting times for food were shocking long. We understand we were on island time but we waited 60 minutes for a meal when the restaurant wasn’t busy.

“Disappointed”
+Good view and foods, the island night was great.
−One of the staff members (manager or in charge?) was extremely rude and unprofessional, and failed to provide the level of service reasonably expected from the property. We booked two consecutive nights at the same property, with a Beachside room for the first night and a different room type for the second night. On the second morning, we left early for a diving trip and returned in the afternoon. We were then told that because we had not vacated the Beachside room by 10am, we would either need to pay a late checkout fee of $50 per hour or continue staying in the Beachside room and pay the additional difference. I understand that we should have checked the checkout time, and I acknowledged to the staff member that this was our mistake. My concern is not primarily about the charge. I politely suggested that, since the property knew we were staying for two consecutive nights but changing rooms, it would have been helpful if someone had reminded us at check-in that we needed to pack our belongings and vacate the first room by 10am. Had we been told, we would absolutely have done so before leaving for our diving trip. The staff member’s response was extremely disappointing. They told m

“A wonderful stay with comfortable rooms, great food, and friendly staff. I’d love to return!”
+The room was spacious, modern, and even nicer than the photos. The staff were friendly and helpful. Scooter rentals were available at the hotel, with e-bikes nearby, and the free airport transfer was very convenient. Breakfast was good, and dinner was delicious with generous portions.
−Nothing to complain about. I loved my stay and would happily come back.

“The Perfect Island Escape 🌴❤️”
+We absolutely loved our 4 nights at Resort Tava’e! 🥰 The onsite restaurant was delicious and so convenient, and we had so much fun making use of all the water activity equipment. The staff were honestly some of the most beautiful, friendly and funny people we’ve met and made our stay even more special. They helped us organise a car for the day and a scooter for the rest of our stay, and gave us some great recommendations for places to explore around the island. The airport transfers were also such a great touch and made getting to and from the resort completely stress free. It’s such a beautiful and special little place with the most relaxed island vibe. We absolutely loved our time here and will definitely be back! 🌴☀️💦❤️
−Honestly… nothing! 😂 We genuinely couldn’t fault our stay. Everything from the beautiful staff and delicious food to the location, activities and relaxed island atmosphere was fantastic. We only wish we could have stayed longer! ❤️🌴
