Overall Ratings & Reviews Tamanu Beach

Resort quite nice, separate family, adult. Beachfront rooms misleading. We paid additional for this and it was not beachfront. I asked about that and the service member said, "yes, it can be confusing, not actually on beach, but closest to beach." Found resorts in Rarotonga took groomed their beach, not so here. Some staff more helpful than others. We asked to book spa treatment and were told to go on line, that's why they gave us free wifi. Water pressure for shower not good. Room itself very pleasant, good breakfast, nice happy hour, small, but nice pool, good spa specials and services.

An absolutely lovely spot on a spectacular island.

Wonderful

Loved the upgrade

We had a water front vila. What a stunning view. Enjoyed a quiet dinner for two on our verandah in an idealic spot. The room was huge with seperate living area, large bedroom and bathroom.

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.

Just so lovely

Staff are super friendly, resort is beautiful & great location

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.

Highly recommend staying at Tamanu Resort. Excellent rooms, restaurant, staff and right on a great snorkelling beach w paddle boards & kayaks to use.

Such a beautiful place! Loved the quiet and relaxing vibe. Awesome snorkeling and free bicycle hire to get around the place. Would highly recommend

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.

The hotel is absolutely amazing. Perfect for a break, kids friendly, location is just paradise.

Lovely time at Temanu. Great snorkeling right out front, and beautiful grounds. Had a wonderful time here, would stay again!

Staff are outstanding

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
