Guest reviews for Tamanu on the Beach

Leanne - 10/02/2026 00:58:56

"We loved the bright airy bungalow. The beach was amazing, lovely to watch waves breaking. We loved the peace and quiet of the resort. We loved the free transport to Port Vila. The spa was great and the staff are wonderful, attentive and kind."

"The internet provider and screen set up makes it impossible to bring your own device and log into wifi. We were unable to change the aspect ratio to get our firestick connected. This was th same for all places we stayed in Vanuatu."

"The staff is so friendly, location on the beach is nice"

"Nothing to complain about"

"Location is spectacular. Good snorkeling on incoming tide with soft golden sand. Many beautiful shells and coral on beach. Great menu for all three meals and another option of a boutique pizza restaurant 50metres down the beach. The gardens and path you walk through to your villa is beautifully maintained and every day fresh flowers are placed in bathrooms, tables and on the various sculptures around the gardens. The staff were so helpful, friendly and fun to interact with."

"The property was amazing, a beautiful location away from the ‘main resort tourist centre’ of Port Villa. It has everything you need, incredibly friendly staff and really delicious food, the beds were comfy, the accommodation was clean. You couldn’t really ask for anything more! I would recommend and I would definitely return!"

"The villa we stayed at Tiare Villa 3 was beautiful with a beach view. Very close to the facilities- bar/restaurant, pool & spa. The food was amazing!!! The seafood was a 10/10 every meal we had was made with love and tasted amazing! The service from the beautiful workers were amazing - thank you Alice and Nicolas!"

"Nothing really, only thing was that the toilet/bathroom was outside and it has mosquitoes - but they do provide the mosquito coils which I didn’t find till later."

"Beach isn’t that suitable for swimming but you can go pool, or do a day trip to the many lagoons and beach’s available and the team will help you out with this!"

Avis de Yannick Bluepango Guest House

"Clean room with good bed, got wifi from the owner, so had very strong wifi. Right by the sea, where a shipwreck is growing reef."

"Exceptional staff. Excellent value. A very satisfied customer since 1993."

Avis de David Hotel Santo Vanuatu

"Hidden Cove porte bien son nom : un petit paradis caché dans une superbe propriété arborée. Les villas sont magnifiques, originales et décorée avec goût. Tout est au rdv pour passer un moment inoubliable. La magie opère grâce aux conseils, à la gentillesse et à la personnalité de Sue, notre hôtesse. Un grand merci pour votre accueil."

Avis de Aurélien Hidden Cove Eco Retreat

"The staff (with most of them being from the local Eratap village) and the management team were so kind & attentive. The food from the restaurant was delicious and we loved the different fish specials every day. The location is unbeatable - you truly feel like you're on your own private island with access to so many great amenities - amazing snorkeling, great tennis court, bicycles, the list goes on!"

"Quiet and nice place just in front of the water with beautiful coral reefs and turtles! You can join the boat for snorkeling for free and swim in the beautiful sea! I saw turtles almost every time, and almost saw a dugong, which a staff who joined me saw, but I missed unfortunately."
