“Beautiful! Loved it!”

Reviewed May 8, 2013

We stayed at Tamanu in April 2013. Waking up in the morning to the view of the beach, the sound of the ocean and the beautiful colours of nature was just amazing! We loved our time there. All of the staff were fantastic and the food was perfect! Can't wait to visit again soon :-) - we will be back!

“Isolated & peaceful, if a little dated”

Reviewed May 4, 2013

We stayed here for five nights over the Easter period. We arrived by airport transfer (the resort is about 30 minutes from Port Vila airport) and greeted by the manager, given a glass of champagne and some local chips, which was all very friendly. The cottage was pretty and spacious, with a lounge area that has a chairs, sofa and... More

“A little bit out of the way”

Reviewed March 7, 2013

We had a lunch here, it was an amazing lunch and the views are spectacular so I can truly recommend a day visit. If you dont mind being so far from down town then it would be nice to stay for a couple of days.

What fantastic surrounding, incredible food, and extremely friendly staff. The boutique resort is set on a private white sandy beach with incredible view. The resort feels very exclusive. I proposed to my now fiancé on Dec 2012, and I couldn’t have asked for more from this beautiful place. Restaurant manager Rachel was extremely helpful. I spoke to Rachel a few... More

“Relaxing holiday”

Reviewed January 6, 2013

Stayed at Tamanu for 8 days over Christmas. Loved waking up to the sound of the ocean & fresh fruit plate with breakfast. The bungalows are spacious, each with their own balcony facing the ocean. For Vanuatu standards, Tamanu really exceeds most of the other resorts/hotels/bungalow style accommodation. The staff are all very attentive & made us feel very welcome.... More

I recently spent 5 days at Tamanu On The Beach. What a pleasant surprise. While it is only about 25 minutes or so from the madding crowd of Port Vila, you feel like you're on a tropical island in a world all of its own. This is THE place if you need to get away from it all and just... More
