We loved our time at Tamanu Beach! The beachfront villa was amazing, large, comfortable, lots of special touches and such a beautiful view. The staff was wonderful and very welcoming. I could have stayed forever!

Very pretty place. Great view of the ocean. Only thing that did not go well is that I got food poisoning from the buffet.

The welcome and hospitality was exceptional Loved to beach and facilities. The Breakfast was amazing .The only things I did not like were the noisy roosters early am and noise of lawn being raked at 7:00am

Nice property in a nice location for the beautiful sunsets. The downside was quite often they didn't have any cocktail glasses left so you couldn't get your drink of choice.

We loved everything about Tamanu : it’s authentic tropical island vibe, the delicious food, access to SUPS & kayaks, the beachside pool, spacious bungalow with outdoor shower & friendly staff

Enjoyed our stay

Everything was amazing! From aunty Nane’s welcoming upon arriving and the entire stay. We love it even more when they would call to check if we were dining in. Staff was accommodating. Our little grand daughter was fascinated bt the car and fell in love with it. Above all we fell in love with everything Tamanu provided! Thank you everyone!

Fantastic experience; staff were friendly, beach was amazing, our bungalow was lovely, our 4 year old had the time of her life. It was the perfect holiday to unwind from the stresses of work and 3 years of covid lockdowns

Quiet and peaceful resort. The bungalows are spacious and well appointed. It would be great if there was better flow between the bungalows and the restaurant/bar.

Loved the experience, had all of the experience expected, all amenities were amazing and the walk on the beach was lovely. Other guests were friendly and welcoming, food was excellent, great service at the front desk, first impressions was the experience, thank you to our Cook Islands family who own the resort, well done! Meitaki maata!!!

This property is clean, friendly and reasonably quiet.

This was a wonderful place to come and stay. Spacious rooms on adult side with everything you needed. Swimming pool right at your finger tips with a 2 min walk to beach with nice snorkelling. Breakfast was complimentary and delicious. Along with lots of lunch and dinner options The staff where all very welcoming and friendly. . We arrived around 9am and was welcomed with complementary breakfast. The Island night was amazing and a must if you are there on a Thursday. They have scooters on site which made it great to see around the Island which is beautiful. Looking forward to coming back.

The setting and the people are great

We loved everything about the property and the location, the staff were friendly and willing to help, dining was awesome, the swimming location, and our accommodation just a short walk to the beach. Loved it, would definately stay there again.

What a beautiful resort, will definitely be back. Staff very accommodating and went out of their way to make our stay the best

The room was very spacious with air con. It had a great sized deck with a table and daybeds. Also an out door shower. The only negative was we had no hot water and asked twice for it to be fixed but it never happened. We did however receive a credit so happy with that.

They cater for families 💜

Stayed in a lagoon front bungalow , fantastic outlook. Woukd be nice to have insect repellant coils on the deck to keep mosquitos away

Lovely setting in Lagoon

Great rooms, very friendly staff, good food when we ate in restaurant

The fact that transport to and from the airport is included in your stay is a really nice touch (although we felt we left too early for our departing flight). Our time at Tamanu Beach started with the Sunday BBQ Buffet. It was nice to eat close to home and it was a really good value with some local dishes. Sadly, no entertainment. We had a 1 bedroom and thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor shower & day beds. Our view was more of the pool than lagoon but we did see the water through the trees. Bungalow it's self was fine, yes some fixtures were a bit old but all in working order (except TV). Bed and pillows were comfortable. This space could easily fit more than 2 adults. This location really is one of the best on the island. Our friends were at Aitutaki Private Lagoon and had terrible wind & were quite isolated in terms of location. Tamanu Beach is amazing!! SUP, kayaking and bikes provided, no snorkels due to covid but great fish & marine life with healthy coral. We thought this was an adult only venue however there were some children during our stay. We had breakfast provided and were allowed to order anything off the menu so much better than continental buffet provided at other hotels. Also, there are 2 wings of the hotel so if you can't find any lounge chairs, bikes or kids are being loud, walk to the other side :) Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would stay here again!! In the times of Covid, I thought service was great & stay was relaxing.

Unfortunately some of the facilities were not available and we had not been notified. We had counted on the snorkel equipment being available as advertised and it wasn't. With the great snorkel area right at the doorstep, this was extremely frustrating. Emailed our concerns on our first day to the property but got no response. They claimed it was due to Covid and not being able to be sure to clean it properly between uses but other properties didn't seem to have that problem. No excuse for not updating website. The snorkelling available here was the primary reason we chose it.

My stay at Tamanu was ok. I was not too impressed by resort.

The property is ok. Very nice and comprehensive staff

Great location, beautiful beach and lovely accomodation. Staff made us feel welcome getting our room ready early and giving us a complimentary late checkout. Weekly island night was fun with great buffet and cultural entertainment. Bikes, paddle boards and kayaks are provided.

We spent 6 nights there recently. Great layout of bungalows, we did not have direct beach access but it certainly felt like we had!Recently refurbished bungalows are perfectly summarised by the hotel's motto - casual luxury.I have never had such a feeling that I'm staying in a luxurious hotel yet it feels very casual and laid back.The only thing that could use some improvement is the restaurant - food was good, with attentive service, but is not on par with general high quality feel of the hotel.Finally, reception staff was absolutely amazing taking great care of us. We have not used the day spa, so cannot opine.
