Amazing during good weather but terrible and quite scary with persistent rain. Beautiful beach and good service in general. Do need to brjng with you sunscreen and sunburn aftercare as no shops sell these. Double check their calculations for your accommodation and items bought at the shop as maths is not a strong point. Overall though I would definitely like... More

Tanu Beach was better than hotels. The staff were so friendly!! I loved them! We made heaps of new friends that we will remember forever! Like Judiana, langi and Judi. (Sorry if I spelt wrong) The little shop was sooooo cool!! We ate heaps of ice cream and drank heaps of coke and water. Our first night we stayed there... More

We recently stayed at Tanu Beach Fales on the beautiful island of Savai'i and absolutely loved it. Despite moving on to stay at a few other more 'upmarket' places on Upolu afterwards, I still thinking staying here was 110% worth it and would recommend anyone considering it to go check it out for yourselves! Upon arrival we (x3) each received... More

We spent one night here. It wasnt booked as we werent decisive on where we would stay but went with all the positive things we have heard about Tanu. Check in was easy breezy. Loved our fale, right on the beach front. There were no other guests staying around us as I believe it was off peak season. Nice basic... More

My partner and I stayed here for 2 nights with 2 other girls that we met at Litia Sini. The surroundings at Tanu are beautiful. The fales are so cute with mosquito nets and the beach is gorgeous. The people who run the place were weird, almost stalker like and not so good with the smiling or happy faces. We... More

We stayed here fo 2 nights and loved the fales, they are the real traditional ones & pretty comfortable. The beach isn't the best in Samoa but the sea is gorgeous in the morning. The family that's runs it are all really lovely and make you very welcome, especially Judiana. Thanks for a great stay!

We stayed on Savaii for 2 nights, but only stayed here for one night. Next trip we will definately stay here longer. Fales are the real deal with flax leaf walls and doors, with a wooden floor and a mattress on the floor. They are dotted all around Tanu's property, which is on the sand, and there are steps down...

This family run holiday spot is one out of the bag if you want to experience the simple way of Samoan village life. We had only one night but I would definitely go back for an extended period. Our fale only a few steps from the water had the most basic of requirements for life in the tropics - a... More
