Tamanu Beach Resort

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.

An absolutely lovely spot on a spectacular island.

Wunderschönes Resort an traumhafter Lage. Sehr freundliches, hilfsbereites Personal. Anlage sehr sauber. Zur Verfügung stehen Kajaks, SUP's, Fahrräder und Schnorchel können ausgeliehen werden. Das Essen war ausgezeichnet. Es passt alles, um sich in diesem Paradies verwöhnen zu lassen.

Everything about Tamanu Beach Resort is absolutely perfect! The location is great for snorkelling, swimming, relaxing and sight seeing. We stayed in a bungalow right on the beach and woke to stunning views and sunsets every day. The facilities and pool are excellent and very well maintained. Our bungalow was luxurious in a beautiful Polynesian style. The restaurant served delicious food with authentic local cuisine and many additional options to suit all palates. The resort hosts a week night happy hour and a twice weekly 'Island Night' which includes a delicious buffet meal and stunning performance of an Aitutaki legend, including traditional Polynesian dancing, drums and songs, definitely worth booking in for that. Tamanu Beach provides pushbikes, snorkelling gear, kayaks and SUPs for guests to use and also offers a scooter hiring service. I cannot praise the resort staff enough! We were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary and decided to have a 'Renewal of Vows' ceremony on the beach outside our bungalow at Tamanu Beach Resort. Mimi made planning the event very easy in the weeks leading up to our event. Both Erin, Mimi and their team made sure our ceremony went perfectly, including the most beautiful arbour under the coconut palms on the beach, stunningly handcrafted ei katu and neck lei, our celebrant and of course a wonderful Polynesian string band. We were privileged to meet Helen Henry and her husband Johno, what an amazing couple! Helen along with her family, created the magical Tamanu Beach Resort and Helen has written a beautiful book about her island life titled 'My Kotuku of the South Seas'. It is wonderful to read about her life in Rarotonga and the dreams her family had that built Tamanu Beach Resort. We loved everything about Tamanu Beach Resort and will definitely be back.

Wonderful

Traumhaftes Resort, tolles Restaurant Wichtig vorweg: wir schreiben hier über unsere Erfahrung in eines der Bungalows aus dem Adult only-Abschnitt. Diese sind aus unserer Sicht ein klein wenig besser instandgehalten und schöner. Wir hatten um zwei Nächte verlängert und mussten dazu in den allgemeinen bzw. Familienbereich. Das Bungalow war sogar noch etwas größer, aber dafür schon ein wenig älter bzw. nicht mehr alles perfekt in Schuss. Wir hatten in dem Resort eines der schönsten Urlaube unseres Lebens. Die Unterkunft war traumhaft, sie ist groß, sauber, perfekt ausgestattet (Kühlschrank, kleine Küche, Safe) und super gelegen. Es ist sehr ruhig und angenehm. Hervorzuheben ist auf jeden Fall das Restaurant. Wir haben die BBQ-Night (Buffet für 55 NZD p.P.) am Sonntag mitgemacht. Das Essen war sensationell. Auch sie Island Night for 85 NZD mit der Show und dem Essen war super. Das Frühstück wählt man sich a la carte und hat zudem ein kleines Buffet. Es gibt Fahrräder, SUP und Kajaks, die man sich unangemeldet und kostenlos ausleihen kann. Die Mitarbeiter am Empfang haben für uns auch alle Touren gebucht, was wirklich super war. Alles in allem ein unvergessliches Erlebnis.
