For anybody who wants to meet locals, enjoy pre-tourist-boom-tranquility, snorkel for free, use free bicycles to visit nearby spectacular waterfalls, feed fish and relax on the beach in the shade of gorgeous ancient trees (hopefully PLEASE never to be logged...:-), this is the place to go to. Competitively priced, we knew there are even more spectacular Island resorts available in... More

Our family of 5 arrived in Vanuatu to celebrate our 20th Wedding Anniversary. Yes we took the kids, 18,15 & 12 to celebrate with us. Upon booking our accommodation online with Tara Beach, I requested that perhaps Eric could arrange a romantic candlelite dinner for my husband and I to celebrate our anniversary, which he promised would be no problem....

We absolutely loved the 2 bedroomed bungalow we had on the water's edge with lush gardens. The welcome Eric and his family extended from buffet plus hot cooked breakfast, to services through out the day was fabulous, nothing was too much trouble. The reef is good right there, with feeding the fish, it was the best snorkelling spot obviously! We... More

We stayed here on our way to Tanna Island and were glad it was only one night. The first disappointment happened when our free airport transfer wasn't at the airport to meet us. We ended up getting our own way by taxi. The location and people were lovely, but the accommodation was very tired, no hot water and parts were... More

We really loved our stay at Tara Beach. The staff are fantastic, friendly and helpful, but they don't pester you and just let you go about enjoying your holiday. The rooms are large and spacious. The cold shower took some getting use to for us, but in the heat and humidity we quickly decided it was a good thing. The... More

What can we say, but tankyiu tumas (thank you very much) to the Vatoko family who run this small resort for making our 3 night stay very memorable. We are a family of 2 adults and 18 & 20 year old "kids".Yes, we had cold showers but who needs hot water when the weather is so beautiful. From the airport... More

We have just returned from 2 weeks in Vanuatu. My 3 daughters were made to feel part of the family at Tara Beach. Lulu and Eric make sure you get a true Vanuatu experience with visit to local school and Village and the girls had friends to swim and play with. Dont miss the Melanesian Feast night on Tuesday- dancing,... More

This place is fantastic, close enough to everything but far enough away to not have to deal with all the crowds from the big cruise ships. The rooms are a good size and each bungalow is separate, metres from the water. Who needs the fancy hotels when you can have a place like this, we didn't even mind the cold... More

This was our third stay at Tara - now like a second home. Eric is to be congratulated for what he has done with the resort. Breakfast is great - fresh fruit (he even found some out of season grape fruit for us), toast, pastries and croissants, and eggs on toast washed down with Tanna coffee. Snorkelling again was a... More
