Santo is a beautiful island, but the attractions are spread out. Turtle bay resort is smack bang in the middle of many of these, so from a location perspective, it's a great place to stay. The rooms are simple, but clean and comfortable, and electricity and hot water were surprisingly consistent given how far from town we were. Our room... More

Kath and Cam, the new managers instantly create a welcome, friendly atmosphere so all guests instantly feel like family. Willy the chef, Delphine and the staff are lovely, the food is better than anywhere in santo, the coral reef out front is stunning and its an hour kayak to the blue hole. The pool needs a lick of paint and... More

Turtle bay resort is in an amazing location, with a great spot to do snorkelling or kayaking.

Otherwise,... More

Our family of four had a wonderful five nights stay at Turtle Bay resort. The snorkelling was spectacular, right out the front of our bungalow.

We spent a wonderful four days at Turtle Bay Lodge and left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. The manager, Donna and her staff were fantastic - very friendly and helpful - and chef Rocky's meals a real treat. As an added bonus, by Vanuatu's standards, they have super-fast internet. The location is awesome and the outdoor dining area really makes the... More

We had a relaxing break, the views were amassing. Eating on the front deck on the beach outside was fantastic. Your chef Rocky, cooked every meal superbly- hang on to him! Loved the Ne-van (local) pulling up in his canoe with the coconut crabs to sell to the restaurant. But wished the pool was fracked so we could swim! And... More

Lovely setting on a blue bay where you can swim, snorkel and also kayak to amazing blue holes, all right in front of your doorstep. Owner Matt and manager Donna are very welcoming and helpful, giving the place a very friendly vibe overall. The accomodation is comfortable with some rustic elements. The water view rooms are a great design with... More
