The staff were amazing and the managers did a fabulous job directing you to the most incredible sights. We had a rental car but you could do anything with all the tours they offer. I highly recommend this place and the food was also the best!!!!

ALLEZ - Y SANS TARDER
Notre Séjour à TURTLE BAY LODGE s'est Merveilleusement passé dans le Calme. J'ai profité de la Grande Marée Basse pour marcher dans l'eau Puis Nager / Mer et terminer par des longueurs /Piscine. J'ai mangé une grosse Langouste fraîche Sce Mornay, accompagnée de différents légumes et Féculents Locaux. Un Régal. J'ai calé. Le Patron + Gérant + Staff = So Gentils + Le Cadre Parfait. J'y retournerai.

Quiétude et plaisir des yeux
Séjour très positif. Hôtel au calme , idéalement situé au milieu de la côte Est et tout proche des trous bleus. Personnel au petit soin. Excellent rapport qualité prix pour l’hebergement et le restaurant. Magnifique Deck avec espaces cocoonings, piscine et kayaks à disposition. Je recommande vivement

Paradise
We booked this location for 2 x nights in Oct as a group of 7. 2 x grand parents, 2 x adults, and 3 kids (Ages 8, 7 and 5). We opted for 3 seperate rooms next to each other and it could not have been a better scenario although I am aware that there is a family type room. The rooms are very adequate and although no aircons were in place, the temperature with the sea breeze was great (our kids used the blankets even). The lodge is low key and immediately relaxing. It is a small-ish resort, at the time filled mainly with couples however our kids were never bored. Between kayaks, swimming in the pool and exploring the rock pools. We did horse riding with Santo Horse Adventures one morning which is highly recommended. The highlight of the property was the incredible food.

Nice location, and nice facilities. However, as you're stranded there for the most part you often need to eat their food. The first meal we had was atrocious, completely stale bun on a burger (like a brick), and a pasta that tasted like they accidentally dropped the whole salt shaker in. However, the meals improved after that, so not sure if they just had someone extremely under-qualified that day.

Good facilities, you need to have a car to drive around, because is far. Breakfast should be better
3-night trip

6/10 Good

Food not fresh, seemed leftovers warmed up again, husband sick with it. No fresh coffee for breakfast only tin coffee (but steep rates). Weetbix not fresh. Breakfast bar waitress tried to steal 3$ extra for toast when in fact included in price already. Overheard other customers complain about same issue with same woman. Grounds kept immaculate and clean. Surrounding scenery beaufiful. Noisy, unsupervised local children (looked like children of staff) cleaning runny noses in pool and heard one say to the other "stop peeing in the pool" in Bislama.

Quite remote but fabulous food and staff
Fantastic staff, Delvene, Iris, John and Adam in particular were wonderful, so helpful in every way. The other staff members behind the scenes were also very friendly. This is a remote location with not much else around. We took advantage of booked tours from the resort which introduced us to Santo. The Turtle and Dugong tour was a highlight. Unfortunately for us the weather was not kind.

Probably the best place to stay. Can improve.
Nice setting, good location for getting around in terms of being half way between luganville and champagne beach. Loads to do in good weather. We had bad weather which is no one’s fault but felt a bit marooned then during those times. The trips we did were all great and apparently heavily vetted by the hotel. Friendly service. The food was a little inconsistent but generally very good. The hotel do point out the limitations of their location in a developing country in terms of access to fresh produce and that’s fine. The owner was a bit crass, and we received an email asking for a 5* review and to email them criticisms which didn’t sit well with me. Generally though, a very pleasant stay.

8/10 Very good

We booked a bit last minute so probs paid too much for our room. it was the most expensive on our 2 1/2 week stay in Vanuatu and was pleasant but not top notch. We were disapointed that the kayaks were an additional fee as that was one of the reasons we chose this lodge and we had seen ad saying they were free..which we did show to our hosts. We did love the kayak trip to the blue hole. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful. Weather was rainy and snorkeling not the best.
