Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Tamanu Beach is a quiet, friendly, relaxed place to stay, right on a very swimable beach, and with beautiful views. The restaurant was a very short stroll along the beach, where we enjoyed beautiful meals including Island Night, BBQ Night, and breakfasts which included complementary cooked options for guests. The outdoor shower at our villa was so lovely, we used it instead of the indoor shower. There was a mix up with our puck up time upon arrival at the airport due to us changing flights two days out, but that was airly quickly rectified when the airport greeting ladies realised we didn't have anyone there to meet us. If you're staying on Aitutaki, you must do a lagoon cruise. We were picked up by Kia Orana Cruises ftom Tamanu Beach. It was a fabulous day with 10-12 others, many little islands visited, snorkeling and a beautiful lunch.
Negative: Nothing
Summary: Beautiful, quiet, friendly and relaxing
