Краткий обзор: It delivers stunning lagoon views and warm Polynesian hospitality, but the 'casual luxury' vibe means you'll pay extra for WiFi and might be woken up by the island's wild roosters.

Подтверждено @the.island.traveler: I absolutely loved my stay in this beachfront bungalow at Tamanu Beach Resort. The spacious wooden interiors felt so luxurious, but my favorite part was relaxing on the private thatched-roof terrace. Having the calm lagoon just steps away was the ultimate peaceful escape.
