6/10 Okay

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.
Patricia, 2-night trip

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!
Laura, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Quiet and peaceful resort. The bungalows are spacious and well appointed. It would be great if there was better flow between the bungalows and the restaurant/bar.
Adrian, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very pretty place. Great view of the ocean. Only thing that did not go well is that I got food poisoning from the buffet.
Todd, 4-night trip

Fantastic experience; staff were friendly, beach was amazing, our bungalow was lovely, our 4 year old had the time of her life. It was the perfect holiday to unwind from the stresses of work and 3 years of covid lockdowns

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
Jane, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Loved the experience, had all of the experience expected, all amenities were amazing and the walk on the beach was lovely. Other guests were friendly and welcoming, food was excellent, great service at the front desk, first impressions was the experience, thank you to our Cook Islands family who own the resort, well done! Meitaki maata!!!
JANE, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
Troy, 7-night trip

8/10 Good

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.
Andrea, 5-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
