We ate at Tamarind a few days ago. For $65 2 courses I was expecting a lot I guess . Had the prawn salad entree - salad ingredients tasted old and swampy. Also had the octopus salad - if there were 2 octopus in it I'd be amazed and do spicy it was almost inedible. Asked for the wagyu salad... More

Excellent setting and concept for a perfectly romantic place. We were the only guests on a mid week evening so were offered dinner in our room which suited us but not everyone's cup of tea. Next day we were surprised the room was not cleaned so we requested it be done whilst we went out again. Upon return although bed... More

Spent one night at Spicers Tamarind in January 2012. Booked as a gift to spend time away from work and relax with each other - Definitely worked a treat! Have not switched off like that in a VERY long time. Check in was super speedy and we were very impressed. Loved the cabins a.k.a pavillions. Basically a cluster of galvernised... More

We spent two nights in one of the new 2 bedroom villas. Our daughter was with us and we weren't sure about the second bedroom. We needn't have worried as both rooms had great ensuite bathrooms and each was beautifully furnished. Privacy was no issue at all. Overall, the villas are private and of a very high standard. The Nespresso... More

We arrived on Boxing Day for a two night stay and could not have been happier with our choice to stay here. Initially went for a walk to the falls...bit adventurous for us so contended ourselves with a swim in the pool...perfect! Followed by a relaxing drink and chill in our deck hot tub. Dinner we had brought with us... More

A very enjoyable couple of nights spent here. We had dinner at the restaurant and the food plus service were fantastic. The grounds and accommodation are extremely well presented. The restaurant is next to a pond/garden area and the 'pavilions' (cabins/rooms) are spaced out amongst the gardens providing quiet and privacy. There is a log fire which we made use... More

The pavillions are private, very comfortable and well appointed with quality furnishings, linen and books. The grounds are extensive and well maintained in a peaceful tropical setting. The staff throughout are friendly, efficient and helpful. The restaurant is superb. The continental breakfast... More
