"Good restaurant! Mario attended us and was really present!.. good ambiance and address in Luganville."

"We have just had 5 glorious weeks staying at the Garden Reef Bungalows. Our room was huge and had an 8m frontage onto the ocean. The snorkelling right out our front door was fabulous with so many varieties of exquisite fish and coral. The gardens have beautiful tropical plants tended by the sweetest gardeners. We made our own brunch each day in the large well equiped communal kitchen and walked next door each evening to the Salty Dog Restaurant at Turtle Bay Lodge. The food is delicious and the staff so happy and friendly. We cannot recommend the Garden Reef Bungalows enough."

"We just returned from a wonderful 7 days at Turtle Bay Lodge. We have been to Vanuatu several times and this was a highlight in terms of the natural beauty of the area and the atmosphere and service at the resort. Paddling to the blue holes, the tour to Port Orley and Champagne beach were just amazing (some of the best beaches we have seen anywhere!) The staff were great and nothing was too much trouble. The food in the restaurant was great - good variety, nice cocktails and the pool a real hit with the kids. The rooms right on the water and very comfortable with all you need for a long stay. Highly recommend. We would definitely go back!"

"fabulous stay at the Deco Stop. Kym and Ben are extremely helpful to ensure a great stay. Staff were superb. Definitely best location with a great view to enjoy while having a relaxing meal"

"This resort is really lovely and located on a beautiful and accessible beach. Our Beach side fare (no 7) was clean, comfortable and very private - with direct access to the beach. Kayaks, snorkeling gear and SUPs were free to use, and the snorkeling a couple of hundred metres off the beach was nice. Staff were excellent- super friendly, efficient and welcoming. The entire Resort was immaculately clean and the facilities in general were excellent. The only downside is the restaurant which is the only food option available when we visited. It’s both expensive and underwhelming however we understand this is under review. Breakfast was included in the room rate and was acceptable."

"Aore breeze is a beautiful spot to relax and explore Aore and Santo islands. We fell asleep to the sound of the ocean every night and loved relaxing in the hammock on the balcony. Definitely recommend bringing reef shoes to make the most of the snorkeling right out front. There was plenty of exploring to do and the kids loved getting around on quad bikes and boat. Very friendly staff were happy to help with activities and organizing trips to Santo. We can’t wait to go back!"

"Beautiful resort with great staff and facilities. We only did a day trip to Aore Resort as an adventure and it was a great escape, fares, common areas, gardens and facilities all look wonderful and staff were welcoming and great. Would certainly consider staying here."

"Resort directly on the beach, nice but nothing special... resort run by Italians, Italian chef... their homemade gnocchi are exceptional... very nice and spacious bungalow... sun loungers on the beach and a lovely pool."

"Living in the South Pacific, I first came to know Dany through his sea turtle conservation course work. I was therefore keen to experience firsthand this beautiful private island and its commitment to protecting nature, particularly sea turtles. The island was serene and away from big crowds. The local team were exceptional, with warm, attentive Ni-Vanuatu hospitality at its best. The food was excellent, and the spacious bungalows have been thoughtfully designed and positioned to minimise their impact on the island’s natural state so that they don’t disturb the trees and turtle nesting habitat. Despite its size, the island has surprising natural diversity, including two distinct forest environments and an important, carefully protected sea turtle nesting area. I would particularly recommend visiting during turtle nesting season and booking the nesting experience. The team also arranged several enjoyable excursions and tours during my stay. I ended up postponing my journey back out of Santo, they generously welcomed me back for a second stay and looked after me beautifully once again. That extra kindness said a great deal about the people and the place. I would return to Dany Island without hesitation."
