Location, food, staff - 10/10!

Wonderful location with a relaxing vibe. We booked the one bedroom vila at the beach. The vila was very clean and had a comfortable bed. The food was amazing! In fact, the best food I've had in any restaurant in a while. The friendly staff were all smiles from the moment we arrived and always checked to make sure we had all we needed. A special mention to Fiona who made sure our stay was exceptional. Definitely coming back again.

Ideal beach front resort lacking in nothing

The staff were great. The chef is French and very good. Managing team work well to ensure guests have a very good time. Beautiful beach, but not sand you can swim in. Coral beach. Stunning vista from the two dining areas.

One of the better resorts around Port Vila but isolated with few facilities and not quite up to Western standards

At first glance the small resort looks relatively luxurious, the 14 villas look well appointed and the rooms are spacious and clean. The food menu looked attractive and was reasonably priced for a 5* resort although there were no cheap snack options. Some of the food was really delicious thanks to the French chef.

Amazing resort

Tamanu on the Beach was amazing. It was family friendly and accommodated for disability needs of a fellow traveller and went far and beyond to provide an amazing celebration for a family members birthday, whilst travelling.

Island paradise!

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!

A relaxing time with great staff attention and friendliness for our special visit

Breakfast according to the booking site is included, however only certain items are included. For example eggs on toast - tick, yet for some reason, bacon, attracts an extra cost - no tick :(. Coffee was an extra also.... again no tick :( I feel that for the dollars being paid all breakfast items currently offered should be included at no extra cost Having said the above the quality of the food, especially the steak, was excellent and more than met expectations. Our accomodation, a two bedroom villa, was more than large enough for the 4 of us (two children In the twin bed room). We even had our own plunge pool to use. The only downside to the room is that it faces the pathway and as such lacks privacy that one might expect of this style of villa. We had to ensure that our blinds were down after sunset as it was easy for passerbys to view into the room. The villa also lacked sufficient drawer / storage to be able to fully unpack for our 7 day visit. It would be sufficient storage for, say a two to three day visit. The internet was easy to access and provided a good reliable service for our whole visit.

Absolutely perfect!

Amazing property. It is isolated and away from the hub bub of town. A perfect place for reading books, swimming, walks on the beach and generally shifting toward a much more pleasant operating speed.
