Independent in Espiritu Santo from AU$175

"This resort was great! The rooms are clean, the staff are amazing and the neighboring houses along the beach were very friendly. It’s like having friends on the beach front! We snorkled from the beach to the two reefs that are a stone’s throw away from the resort. The corals were the best I’ve seen so far. The owner, Robert was very pleasant. I will definitely stay here again if our residential ship finds its way in Vanuatu in the future."

"The staff and other guests were very friendly. The food was wonderful. Very happy with the stay."

"The staff were very friendly, happy and helpful "

"Friendly staff, great location, good value for price. Noisier at night but not surprising given location, it doesnt inpact the experience. "

"Our stay at Santo Sunset Villa was amazing! The spacious villa is absolutely gorgeous and furnished to the highest standard. Dennis & Matilda were incredible with excellent communication, ensuring we had everything we needed, whilst never intruding on our privacy. The outdoor kitchen and deck was a highlight, perfect for relaxing with a stunning view. The kitchen is ideal for self-catering, with absolutely everything you can think of – even an ice-maker which was fabulous. The bathroom, the shower, the bedroom, I can’t describe how perfect it is… it really is incredible. It was so peaceful and quiet, it felt like we were on our own private island. The beach has great swimming and snorkelling at all tides, and watching the fish and turtles from the deck… who needs a TV! Dennis & Matilda had a fire set up on the beach so we could have a fire at sunset, an unforgettable memory. This place really is paradise, we highly recommend and can’t wait to return. Don’t hesitate, just book it now! "

"We really loved our stay at Turtle Bay Lodge, would love to stay there again and recommend others to check it out. The accommodation is modern, comfortable, and clean. The staff are exceedingly friendly and helpful. The lodge offers many amenities and activities to do on site - snorkeling, pool, kayaking, help with booking tours and activities. Plus it is close to all of the popular Blue Holes and nearby activities. The restaurant on site has delicious meals and a gorgeous view out to the ocean, making it perfect to relax and enjoy meals throughout the day at. The daily breakfast was toast with jams, butter, and peanut butter and a fruit platter, plus tea or coffee. There were also cereals. We added on eggs for a small cost to our daily breakfasts to help fill us up. Daily room service was appreciated. The rooms are super comfortable and clean! There are a kettle and mini fridge in the room. Very comfortable place to stay with all the modern things you need. Highly recommend for a relaxing holiday!"

"The nicest, most helpfully and genuine people you will ever meet! The office ladies went above and beyond and the food from the restaurant was perfect! 'Chef' knows his stuff in the kitchen! A convenient, close to the town place to stay! I highly recommend a stay here."
