The road to the resort needs fixing

This place is exceptional if you just want to relax. The staff are so accommodating to any requests and go above and beyond. The villas are gorgeous and cosy

The mosquitos but that comes with the territory!

The staff were so accommodating and lovely. The villa was very well kitted out and the view was amazing. Great place to relax.

That we had to leave.

Amazing property. It is isolated and away from the hub bub of town. A perfect place for reading books, swimming, walks on the beach and generally shifting toward a much more pleasant operating speed.

Magical place! Nice and comfy villas, wonderful restaurant. A bit far from the city, but the resort offers a shuttle each day. Special thanks and appreciation to the Staff. I cannot express my admiration and gratitute to the people working in Tamanu. The whole Staff makes this place feel even better than home.

Nothing to complain about

The staff is so friendly, location on the beach is nice

The beach is mostly shallow coral / rock which you can swim at high tide but it isn’t really for snorkelling and is often choppy due to the onshore winds

We absolutely loved our stay at Tamanu on the Beach—it was everything we could have hoped for! The food was incredible, with every meal feeling like a special treat. The villas were stunning, with comfortable beds, great air conditioning, and the most amazing beach views that made waking up each day a joy. However, the true highlights of our stay were the incredible staff. Special thanks to Alice and Laura, who went above and beyond to make our experience so memorable. Their warmth, kindness, and fun personalities made us feel right at home.

A morning clean-up for the pool would be nice, lots of leaves in the water during our stay, and unattended floating mattresses and pool noodles.

Fantastic resort right at the beach. Everyone was super friendly and nice from the moment we arrived to the departure. The rooms were clean and nicely decorated. Food in the restaurant was also great, we liked in particular all the curries and some of the daily specials. The place is very secluded and it takes a bit to get from town to the resort. But that is of course also a plus! There is a free shuttle service to town every day which we used, the driver was very knowledgeable and gave us a little city tour since we were the only passengers on the bus on that day.

It's quite far from town, but the resort puts on a daily free shuttle to town if you want to look around. We were happy by the pool, so that didn't bother us.

We've extended our stay, and we're still here! This place is nothing short of exceptional. The two bed villa is beautiful, the owners and staff are fantastic and very friendly, nothing is too much trouble and everything seems effortless which is a sign of great management. Food at the restaurant we delicious, especially vegetarian curries and baked eggs. The local staff all love kids, which was a highlight for us, especially at dinner time. We'll be back if we can!

Such two small details that do not affect my rating but could be improved are replacing towels with softer ones and making sure that the hotel buses are more clean.

To everyone I highly recommend this intimate hotel for those who need peace and quiet and want to get away from resorts full of tourists. There is a great atmosphere here because of the staff, we felt as if we were in a large family. Very smiling, friendly and helpful people. For us especially helpful was Nicolas everything we asked for he helped us to organize from a private tour to diving. Nikolas once again we thank you very much😀. The hotel takes great care of the gardens which are very well maintained. But still I wanted to thank the theoretically invisible that is the cooks for five weeks of our trip around Australia and Oceania in Tamanu was the best cuisine every time we ordered something different and every time the dish surprised us with quality and taste. We thank you beautifully for this wonderful stay.

Our only (very 3rd world) disappointment was that the property did not have a spa. Even though it is advertised as Tamanu on the Beach - Resort & Spa. Either a communal one connected to the pool or in their advertised Luxury Spa package was actually no spa..

Our room, the food in the resorts restaurant and staff were outstanding. Every staff member we spoke to always had a smile and did their best to provide to any of our requests... We would recommend this holiday to any body who would like to simply chill by the sea :)

Stayed in January 2024

The ocean isn't for swimming - too rough, so if you're wanting to swim in the ocean or snorkel you'll have to go elsewhere. But we were aware of this when we booked so had arranged to have a stay elsewhere in Vila following this stay.

Beautifully presented. Pool area gorgeous. Plunge pool was excellent. Restaurant on site was wonderful.
