Tamanu on the Beach

很滿意。風景優美，服務貼心，酒店週一至週六有免費班車到市中心，接送機的價格合理。餐廳中規中矩，菜品如果能多一些就更完美了

Great for a family holiday or couple’s getaway. At Tamanu, you’re off the beaten track, though the villas are extremely comfortable and you have everything you’ll need in room and from the staff service. The food over 12 days was consistently excellent and serving size plentiful (too much if anything !). The staff were incredibly friendly and by the end of the stay, it was like leaving family. The ONLY downside I’d highlight is the constant wind, and potentially the remoteness, but that can also be a plus!

At our third attempt, we got to Vanuatu and managed to stay at the Tamanu. Exchanged cash at the airport – rate as at 13/4 was VUV150 to GBP1 and VUV75 to 1AUD which didn’t seem bad. Tamanu picked us up for our 40 min transfer to the resort. Warm welcome when we arrived and our bungalow – 1 bed with plunge pool was gorgeous – great views of the sea, clean and modern and a large bathroom. Great WIFI in all areas of the resort including the room and nice to have fresh milk in the fridge for tea and coffee. Not much in the area so mainly ate on site and the food was tasty, varied and reasonably priced. Breakfast was included in the rate and this included A La Carte options which were great. Also popped next door to the Pizza place one afternoon for a late lunch and that was well worth the visit (5 min walk along the beach) and as a small business trying to get going they would welcome the support – cash only there. Large pool area which was great to relax in and by. Plenty of quiet areas around the resort and a great place to chill out. Met the owners who were very kind and helpful. All the staff were great and couldn’t do enough for you. Would recommend a stay at Tamanu – you will not be disappointed.

Our Vanuatu Trip We had an amazing time in Vanuatu! Tamanu on the Beach was fantastic—delicious food, cocktails, and a spacious villa with stunning views of the beach and ocean. The staff were amazing and nothing was too much trouble. One of the highlights was our visit to the Blue Lagoon, such a beautiful spot for swimming and snorkeling. The only downside was the private beach. We chose this resort because of the beach along with a villa on the beach. While it was a gorgeous spot, the relentless wind made it hard to relax on the beach and swimming wasn’t possible due to the coral reef. They had a small area in the coral reef cleared, but it was only knee-deep and still required reef shoes, so no proper swimming.

We had our Honeymoon here and the resort was beautiful. The food was definitely a standout, such a range available on both the regular menu and the chef's specials board (which was almost a second full menu). All breakfasts came with a fresh fruit platter, food is from a range of cuisines, and my wife's dietary requirements were easily accommodated. The staff were also amazing - Meena and Laura looked after us very well at the spa and restaurant. The road between the resort and Port Villa is very treacherous and bumpy but the drivers - Danny and Denville - who took us on our outings took very good care of us and were excellent tour guides. For things to do we recommend the horse riding, the weekly fire show and the spa at the resort. Note: the earthquake has obviously had a big impact around the island. Road conditions are quite poor, the downtown areas of Port Villa are closed and within the resort there are some villas that were closed for repairs. While some activities have stopped there is still lots to do both around the report and as excursions.

I had the pleasure of staying at Tamanu on the Beach from January 6th to 12th as part of my honeymoon with my wife, and I can confidently say it was the absolute highlight of our trip. This is coming from someone who also stayed at some incredible 5-star hotels in Australia and Hamilton Island—Tamanu truly stands out. The staff were exceptional—warm, welcoming, super friendly, and always attentive. They went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, making our stay truly unforgettable. Their hospitality made us feel so special that leaving felt like saying goodbye to family. We stayed in the one-bedroom villa with a plunge pool and a sea view, and it was simply breathtaking. The villa was spacious, beautifully designed, and waking up to that stunning view every morning was nothing short of magical. We had absolutely no complaints about the room—it was perfect. And the food? Wow. Every dish was outstanding, crafted with so much care and flavor. Dining there was a highlight in itself. Our stay was so amazing that we wished we could extend it, but unfortunately, they were fully booked. Tamanu exceeded all our expectations, and if I could give them more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. Highly, highly recommended!
