This a lovely, peaceful, clean, spacious resort/hotel that offer a variety of cuisines. The staff, including the trainees & the maintenance staff are friendly, helpful and always have sweet, lovely smiles on their faces that make you feel welcome. Love the night when they offer Asian cuisines: the fish ball soup was really very fresh and delicious. It tastes like those freshy handmade fish balls that we have in Singapore/Malaysia; the fried Asian noodles were yummy. On the same night, they also offered Crab soup, dumplings. WoW!!! with these combinations, it made my appetite get bigger. Feel like home. They also have Roti, I think they called it Puri(a bit similar like the Roti Prata in Singapore/Malaysia). 1 night they have the chicken corn soup; this chicken corn soup is very delicious, must try it again. The pastry & the bread in every morning was super good. They were all freshy baked. Love the croissant & the Danish pastry, they were So……Yummy. Can’t miss them. I think it is the best croissant & Danish pastry that I have ever come across. Thank you, all the staff who make our stay, here in Tamassa Hotel/resort memorable. <3<3<3 Read less

The Tamassa resort is a great place for anybody who is looking for a great hotel, location and a good choice of activities. The room was spacious and clean and only a stone throw away from the beautiful beach. All staff have been very friendly and helpful. The food is of good quality, if you love curries, this is certainly something for you. A special thanks goes to Kevin and all members of the sports and animation team, it was great fun! If there’s anything to criticise, the choice of drinks of the all inclusive package is very limited to a few cocktails, beer a couple of wines and certain soft drinks. For a high quality resort like this one, the choice should be extended to have more variety. I would recommend the all inclusive option as drinks are very expensive. All in all, a five star rating for us, we would certainly go back! Read less
