Reviewed 12 June 2013 NEW via mobile

We went this weekend for lunch at Tamanu. Had an hour to relax on comfortable sunveds overlooking the sea and enjoying the service before the new chef spoiled us with a gourmet lunch experience. The atmosphere relaxed og wines great. Prices very fair and quality above average. Can only recommend everyone to make a stop over either as a part... More

“Absolutely nothing you can do there!”

Reviewed 26 May 2013

I spent few nights with my husband on this beach. I chose their beachfront cottage mainly because we loved snokerlling and would like to do it everyday during our stay. However, the sand were not clean at all and there were many corals there. It was hard to walk on the beach and you could not do any snokerlling in... More

I would like to comment on your headline, absolutely nothing to do. Tamanu's marketing line is... 'sometimes the best thing to do is nothing...' therefore Tamanu is the perfect place to kick back and relax. We at no times state that we have lots of activities or that you can snorkel directly at our resort. Snorkelling is available in a... More

“Beautiful! Loved it!”

Reviewed 8 May 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 4 May 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.

“A little bit out of the way”

Reviewed 7 March 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.
