Recent reviews

• Hotel Santo Vanuatu Review score: 10

  “Mary Jane, her daughter, and the entire staff at Hotel Santo were exceptionally friendly and welcoming. They went above and beyond to assist me with a flight issue and even provided an extra towel for the Millennium Cave tour, which I truly appreciated. The entrance, reception, lounge, bar, and dining room are adorned with fabulous relics and charming décor, creating a unique and inviting atmosphere. The property boasts a beautiful garden and a tranquil swimming pool at the rear, ideal for relaxation.”

• Turtle Bay Lodge Review score: 10

  “This place was absolutely beautiful, with breathtaking views. Santo Island is by far the most amazing island I’ve ever visited. I went to celebrate my 30th birthday, and the next day I got engaged — both days the staff went above and beyond to make us feel special. They even decorated our table, which was such a lovely touch. Everyone was incredibly kind, warm, and always willing to help. Our cabin was also amazing — cozy, clean, and perfect for the setting. Honestly, this is one of the best places I’ve ever stayed in my life. 100% recommended. I’d come back in a heartbeat.”

• Garden Reef Bungalows Review score: 10

  “It was exactly as described and better! I was greeted by friendly staff who checked me in and took me over to the seafront bungalow. The room was well set up with a little kitchenette and private veranda. The shared kitchen area was really clean, spacious, and also had a great lounge too. I loved snorkelling just in front of the bungalows and taking in the views from a hammock. It was also nice to be able to pop over to Turtle Bay, just next door, for a delicious meal, chat to the staff, and take out a kayak to explore the bay. A wonderful stay, and I’m sure I’ll be back.”

• Serenity Bungalows Review score: 7

  “We loved the whole place. Angelic, John and kids John Lin, Geraldine and Dominic were a delight. Thoroughly enjoyed playing cards with the kids in the evenings. The beach was stunning and we almost felt like we had it to ourselves but happy to share with the cows. it was so peaceful. Max the wee piglet was toooo cute!”
