We arrived at Tamassa on Christmas Eve. The resort looked really festive and it was obvious from the start that they really try hard to make sure that their guests have a truly magical stay. We did have some minor niggles to begin with, however they were dealt with efficiently and professionally by Nishad and his team. The rooms are bright and airy and meticulously cleaned daily by some of the friendliest staff we have ever met! We were always greeted with a huge smile and a cheery Bonjour! Both restaurants Show and Playa had a wide and varied selection of dishes on offer. At Show I had some of the nicest curries I have ever tasted and Playa has a really good menu for both lunch and dinner. The octopus salad was one of my faves! They are really good at meeting all your needs- nothing is too much trouble and always done with a big smile. The resort itself has a very chilled vibe and on the themed nights we were treated to some local dancing and music! New Years Eve was so lovely and relaxed. Even though the staff were all working hard it was obvious that they were also enjoying themselves and their enthusiasm was definitely infectious! The countdown to New Year was celebrated by some amazing fireworks on the beach which was the perfect way to bring in the New Year. The beach is stunning. We were amazed by the number of different fish we could see just knee deep in the water. The current was quite strong but you don’t need to go far out to see some beautifully coloured and varied fish. All in all it was a very chilled family holiday. We have never been away at Christmas before but would definitely do it again. It is hard to single out the members of staff who were so lovely but special thanks to Nishad, Rahul,Avisha, Jeshna, and Yanish who we had the pleasure to see most often and their warmth will remain with us for a very long time. We apologise if we have missed anyone out but we hope you know how much we appreciated your kindness and the way in which you made our stay so special! Thanks so much Tamassa for a truly wonderful holiday.🥰🥰🥰🙏 Read less
