We enjoyed our stay at the Tamanu resort. The resort is very pretty in a great area, we only wish the restaurant could offer more variety of food choices and better flavors. The room we stay in was also pretty nice, only a few things like sink was leaking and toilet didn’t flush properly from time to time.. overall we had a great time.
