Tamanu Beach

Ripper Resort on a magnificent Island. Fabulous Local Staff. Room was excellent.

Layout, location. Privacy

A surprise smorgasbord on the Saturday night we would not have chosen.

Friendly staff members. Good selection of breakfast and drinks. Good spot for snorkeling and walk on the 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.

The location, villa so close to the beach

The restaurant menu

Beach access, adult only wing.

Distance from restaurant - and needing to walk out onto road and along or along beach in the dark.

Fantastic place, charming lovely, kind warm hearted staff and absolute joy. Free bananas. Water stations. Free bikes. Great scooter hire a manager who spoke to the guests at breakfast, cared and gave great recommendations. Great breakfast, buffet. Greeted at the airport with a lei by the lovely Aunty Nana.

Bicycles needed a little servicing, but that just added to their charm. No ‘last orders’ in the restaurant, or else might have had another round of you fantastic drinks!
