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.

Very nice, great outdoor shower nice pool, perfect view as we had a beach front bungalow. very friendly staff. Room did have a dodgy switch on the PowerPoint but other than that couldn’t fault. Snorkelling not as good as raro as a bit murky but could have been due to current and recent rains.

Okay Stay

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.

Das Hotel ist ein absoluter Traum. Die Anlage ist überschaubar und sehr schön. Die Bungalows sind sehr liebevoll eingerichtet und sehr geräumig. Der Strand ist wunderschön. Das Personal sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Auch der SPA Bereich ist zu empfehlen. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und würden jederzeit wiederkommen.

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.

Unglaublich schönes Resort und tolles Restaurant

Wichtig vorweg: wir schreiben in dieser Bewertung über unsere zwei zusätzlichen Nächte in einem Bungalow in Familienbereich. Wir hatten nach 4 wundervollen Nächten in Adult only-Abschnitt um zwei Nächte verlängert und sind dazu in dem Familienbereich gewechselt. Diese sind aus unserer Sicht ein klein wenig schlechter instandgehalten und älter, aber dafüe sogar noch etwas größer. Trotzdem in allem ein tolles Bungalow. Wir hatten in dem Resort eines der schönsten Urlaube unseres Lebens. Die Unterkunft war traumhaft, sie ist groß, sauber, perfekt ausgestattet (Kühlschrank, kleine Küche, Safe) und super gelegen. Es ist sehr ruhig und angenehm. Insgesamt wirkte das Bungalow etwas älter als unser erstes Bungalow im Adult only Bereich. Hervorzuheben ist auf jeden Fall das Restaurant. Wir haben die BBQ-Night (Buffet für 55 NZD p.P.) am Sonntag mitgemacht. Das Essen war sensationell. Auch sie Island Night for 85 NZD mit der Show und dem Essen war super. Das Frühstück wählt man sich a la carte und hat zudem ein kleines Buffet. Es gibt Fahrräder, SUP und Kajaks, die man sich unangemeldet und kostenlos ausleihen kann. Die Mitarbeiter am Empfang haben für uns auch alle Touren gebucht, was wirklich super war. Alles in allem ein unvergessliches Erlebnis.

Wichtig vorweg: wir schreiben hier über unsere Erfahrung in eines der Bungalows aus dem Adult only-Abschnitt. Diese sind aus unserer Sicht ein klein wenig besser instandgehalten und schöner. Wir hatten um zwei Nächte verlängert und mussten dazu in den allgemeinen bzw. Familienbereich. Das Bungalow war sogar noch etwas größer, aber dafür schon ein wenig älter bzw. nicht mehr alles perfekt in Schuss. Wir hatten in dem Resort eines der schönsten Urlaube unseres Lebens.

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.

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.
