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.

Tamanu Beach is authentically a Cook Islands style of bungalow accommodation right on a beautiful swimming beach which has lovely sunsets. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The private outdoor showers are a nice luxury. There are 2 pools and the lovely restaurant served delicious meals and cocktails as well as providing great entertainment. The inclusive breakfasts were a wonderful way to start each day. The spa was very relaxing and my relaxation massage was a real treat. The staff were friendly and helpful and our tours and transfers were booked with ease. Tamanu is a lovely relaxing place to enjoy Aitutaki Island.

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.

Everything was amazing! From aunty Nane’s welcoming upon arriving and the entire stay. We love it even more when they would call to check if we were dining in. Staff was accommodating. Our little grand daughter was fascinated bt the car and fell in love with it. Above all we fell in love with everything Tamanu provided! Thank you everyone!
