Tamanu on the Beach

Amazing food & service. Very friendly & helpful. Fabulous location. Excellent day trips

Amazing property. It is isolated and away from the hub bub of town. A perfect place for reading books, swimming, walks on the beach and generally shifting toward a much more pleasant operating speed.

That we had to leave.

Was an amazing & beautiful place to stay the staff couldn’t do enough for us we will definitely be back

I had the pleasure of staying at Tamanu on the Beach from January 6th to 12th as part of my honeymoon with my wife, and I can confidently say it was the absolute highlight of our trip. This is coming from someone who also stayed at some incredible 5-star hotels in Australia and Hamilton Island—Tamanu truly stands out. The staff were exceptional—warm, welcoming, super friendly, and always attentive. They went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, making our stay truly unforgettable. Their hospitality made us feel so special that leaving felt like saying goodbye to family. We stayed in the one-bedroom villa with a plunge pool and a sea view, and it was simply breathtaking. The villa was spacious, beautifully designed, and waking up to that stunning view every morning was nothing short of magical. We had absolutely no complaints about the room—it was perfect. And the food? Wow. Every dish was outstanding, crafted with so much care and flavor. Dining there was a highlight in itself. Our stay was so amazing that we wished we could extend it, but unfortunately, they were fully booked. Tamanu exceeded all our expectations, and if I could give them more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. Highly, highly recommended!

Perfect honeymoon location! Would rate higher if we could! Food/staff/location perfect!

Tamanu on the Beach Resort and Spa is such a special place. The resort is stunning with incredible views, beautiful spacious clean villas, fantastic restaurant where every meal we had was great and a lovely spa however its Fiona, Anthony and there beautiful staff that make Tamanu so special. Love and thanks for making our holiday so special to Alice, your beautiful smile and warmth greeted us on our first day and we appreciate the friendship you showed us. To waitstaff Tina, Nicholas Luis, Spa Therapists, Mina and Alice and driver Andrew THANKYOU!!

Nice view, room and restaurant. Thank you Alice for taking care of our stay. Much appreciate! Will definitely come back :)

A bit far from the city

Villa was ok pools were good but certainly not worth the money

Food was ordinary and very expensive. In my son’s villa the towels had poo stains on it. Offered to take us into town and then charged us for it.

Highly recommend this report. Managers, Anthony and Fiona, were so warm and welcoming from the very first minute, as were the staff. I don’t think we can recall ever, in our many travels around the world, experiencing such friendly, warm, fun staff. Rooms were excellent, as was the personal plunge pool. Meals were generally excellent, with generous portions. This resort far exceeded our expectations. Well done!

We stayed for 12 nights for a special family celebration. 7 adults and 1 child. We had an amazing stay. It is in quite a remote location but is right on the beach which was pretty special. It is windy all the time but I think that helps to keep the temperature down - we were not uncomfortably hot at any time. I recommend getting a pool villa - they are so good! Restaurant is excellent - quite a substantial menu and also a blackboard menu but nothing changed much on that in 12 days. Chefs are very flexible with leaving items out or adding items in to dishes. Fire show on the beach was very enjoyable. We all had at least one spa visit each and everyone was happy with their treatment. We did every day trip on offer and enjoyed them all. We ventured out quite a few times, for sightseeing and for a few meals. We went in a Tamanu van each time, with one of their drivers, highly recommend this. Cannot remember the price but it was worth it. The road in is pretty rough but I think it was due to be graded the week we left. Staff are all lovely and super friendly. We did lots of beach walking. There is a nice little bay not far up where we had a nice swim. There is also a good little pizza place a short walk along the beach, which is only open on Weekends but has a beach volleyball court and shaded areas to sit and look at the view - it is called Sol Wata Beach Club. Eva and Fiona helped us a lot with any queries we had. The gardens and grounds were immaculate. We would be very happy to stay here again. One thing all of us girls would have loved would be if they had a second wardrobe in the rooms (there is room) - the existing one does not hold maxi dresses and is not big enough for 2 peoples clothes.
