Reviews and Ratings
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The rooms were lovely, spacious, and recently updated, with a comfortable bed and a new bathroom. However, it was quite loud, so we had to turn off the noise to get some sleep, leading to a few restless nights due to the heat. The service was exceptional, with all the staff being extremely helpful and friendly. The location was perfect, offering stunning sunsets and easy access to a beautiful palm-fringed beach with great snorkeling opportunities. The dining experience was decent, offering a mix of menu options and a basic selection. Overall, a great value for money stay with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel provides a spacious and modern room with excellent amenities, including both indoor and outdoor showers. The friendly staff offer fantastic service, although consistency in the restaurant could be improved. The location offers tranquility and natural beauty but could do better with some facilities. The dining experience is satisfactory, with delicious tropical fruits and nice pancakes. Overall, it's a place for peace and quiet with some minor drawbacks.
If you're a fan of peace, tranquility, and high quality, Tamanu is the perfect place for you. The beautiful beach, spacious bungalows with water views, and attentive staff create a relaxing atmosphere.
The hotel offers a nice view of the beach from the rooms, although they could use more comfortable lounging options other than the bed. The location is beautiful and peaceful, with clean rooms and a quiet atmosphere. However, there were some cleanliness issues and noise disturbances during the stay.
