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!

Carolyn, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing place!
Amazing property that is small, but big enough to provide all amenities. Every room/bungalow had an oceanview. We stayed in the Villa and it was fabulous! It was a close walk along the beach to a couple of other restaurants, altho the one on site was very good. Bicycles available for free to ride to other resorts or into town. Rent a scooter from the front desk and see the whole island. Great location for snorkeling. Nick Henry is the GM and is kind and sincerely interested in not only his guests, but what's best for the island and for his fellow Cook ISlander citizens. Wonderful man.
Troy, 7-night trip

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.
Adrian, 4-night trip

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

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

8/10 Very good

Tamanu promotes itself as Casual Luxury. It's casual - and very nice - but not luxurious. The rooms need a bench or table on which to lay out clothes, you have to live out of suitcases in the cramped kitchen. The kitchen needs more than cheap plastic glasses - a couple of small plates and some cutlery should be provided so that you can enjoy a snack on the deck. The TV really should have an extensive menu of statins, including streaming services. These are small costs when set against rates above NZ$600 per night. The cycles are killers and should be replaced or avoided. Having said that we really enjoyed our stay and wish new manager Erin all the best. Luxury is down the road at the Pacific Resort.
Stephen, 7-night trip

Tamanu Beach is authentically a Cook Islands style of bungalow accommodation right on a beautiful swimming beach which has lovely sunsets. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The private outdoor showers are a nice luxury. There are 2 pools and the lovely restaurant served delicious meals and cocktails as well as providing great entertainment. The inclusive breakfasts were a wonderful way to start each day. The spa was very relaxing and my relaxation massage was a real treat. The staff were friendly and helpful and our tours and transfers were booked with ease. Tamanu is a lovely relaxing place to enjoy Aitutaki Island.
Sherilyn, 6-night trip

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.

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!

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.
