We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the beach bungalows at Tamanu. The staff are professional and polite. In our experience, this is by far the most thoughtfully designed bungalow layout we've encountered. The outdoor shower with external access was a standout feature, allowing us to rinse off after a swim without needing to go through the room. The addition of a washing line for swimwear was also very convenient. The spacious bathroom complemented the bungalow’s overall design, and the king-size bed was incredibly comfortable. We particularly appreciated the proximity of the beach, just a few meters from the bungalow, which offered excellent snorkeling opportunities. The restaurant’s location with its stunning ocean views was an added highlight. If you're considering booking a package through Luxury Escapes that includes a spa massage, I highly recommend making a reservation in advance. We did experience some initial challenges with this, but the resort manager handled the situation promptly and efficiently—his proactive approach ensured a smooth resolution. I did suspect the therapist in the spa was not aware of the package included in the booking with Luxury escapes. I look forward to returning in the future.

Tamanu Beach Resort made my 60th birthday an unforgettable occasion and very special with the Saturday there ( thanks to crossing the international date line) being my Aussie birthday and the Sunday being my Aitutaki birthday I was very spoilt by the restaurant staff, they sang happy birthday with the other guests both nights and i got to over indulge in the finest buffets in existence 😀 🐷 The resort staff are all beautiful amazing humans who we loved interacting with and they really care and want you to have the best time at Tamanu starting with Aunty Nane who picks you up at the airport and gives you the warmth of a thousand summers in her welcome as do all the staff on arrival. As the couch cushion says "you are so loved" The island dancers were superb on Saturday night and the snorkelling and swimming opportunities right outside our beach villa kept us very busy and feeling blessed. The motor scooter hire was a great feature and we loved zipping around trying to get ourselves lost on the little island and not have to ever leave! Errin was a really engaging manager who showed genuine interest in chatting to us and other diners in the restaurant and he has great vision for the future of the resort. You all should be so proud of what you create for your guests for a ten out of ten experience in paradise! We will be back for sure! Miss you all SOOOO much!! 🏝🌺❤️
