Stayed at Tamassa for five nights. Resort staff are excellent and facilities are good. Had a problem when we accidentally took a family members phone with us after a visit. Family member came to pick up the phone. My family are local and were happy to give the hotel their contact details and have them wear a bracelet. Even after this the manager Kevin was hesitant to let my visitors into the Hotel. Perhaps he was worried they might swim in the pool? In any case the resort has lost a customer and I will not stay again. We had a family dinner at another resort in the south. No such problem. Very disappointing. Pick up your game LUX Group Read less

We had a wonderful experience at the tamassa resort on the occasion of my mom's birthday. We first went to the b bar lounge where we were well taken care of by Mr Ishal who did a great job. He also gave drink reccommendations and made sure we always had something to drink while we were there. At the buffet, we also received impeccable service by miss Victoria who went above and beyond and made my mom's birthday celebration a success. Yousouf who took our burger voucher spoke very nicely to us. In all a very great hotel to relax. We surely will come back again. Read less
