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! ##### Juniper Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carmeila 20 Oct 2023 Liked: Property conditions & facilities Great property, loved our time here and would happily come back again :) ##### Carmeila Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dirk 19 Dec 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities So many great things about our stay!

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. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 4 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 30 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Good facilities, you need to have a car to drive around, because is far. Breakfast should be better ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 6 Sept 2019 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. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Walter 15 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Best stay It was a very comfotable stay ##### Walter Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rhonda 14 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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. ##### Rhonda Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### thomas 10 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### 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. ##### thomas Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 5 Aug 2019 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Location on the water was great, friendly staff at resort. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 15 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness 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. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 28 Apr 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We spent 6 nights at Turtle Bay in Santo. The property has a nice pool and well maintained gardens and reasonably priced dinners, especially pizzas:) Breakfast was included, although very basic. Swimming is nearly impossible on the reef, one has to be careful when going snorkelling because you need to go a fair bit out onto the reef with some stronger currents. The internet is very slow (on the whole island) and only available in the reception area (3x3m coverage). We had a family room and there was no TV, which if you're wanting to get away from the city life is ok, Santo as a whole is extremely remote and under developed. We felt that after 3 days we'd seen it all. We had a debacle with the car that was rented to us by the hotel, luckily it was sorted by the manager, however, it was still disappointing that a car was rented to us at $100 per day with no paperwork, insurance and in such a poor state that we were worried for our safety when driving it. The staff were all very nice and friendly, the rooms clean and tidy, overall we had a great time. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 27 Apr 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Relaxed Relaxed Relaxed Relaxed Relaxed Relaxed Relaxed Relaxed ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Florian 6 Jan 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect Location and Service This was part of our honey moon trip and the manager made sure we had a great time, helping us arranging activities and also with bubbles! Beautiful breakfast, lunch and dinner each day right by the water. Very friendly staff! ##### Florian Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 26 Dec 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort An incredibly beautiful location with very friendly and helpful staff. We loved the peaceful atmosphere, and hiring the kayaks to visit the blue holes was a highlight! The rooms are basic but comfortable and clean, and most have a sea view which was lovely to wake up to in the morning! The manager was great and helped us with transport and organising tours etc. The food was good and reasonably priced compared to other resorts we saw. We loved our stay here, and would definitely love to return to spend longer and to explore the local area a bit more. Thank you!! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Giulia 12 Nov 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort We loved Turtle Bay Resort! The manager, Linda is super friendly and very helpful in arranging tours, transports, etc. She has a very good knowledge of the island and her recommendations are good. The food is very good and varied. The property is clean, the staff very professional and the nature around it simply amazing. We would like to go back one day! ##### Giulia Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 31 Oct 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great staff, excellent location & restaurant.
