We (couple) stayed over a long weekend and had a lovely time. Ann and the staff at Aore Island Resort are fabulous and very friendly. The service was really good and the food was excellent. The rooms are good quality, although fairly basic they do have everything that you would need including a small fridge. The front deck overlooking the... More

The owner Ann could not be more helpful and her manager Annie too. In fact all the staff smile and make you feel welcome. The rooms are pretty basic but then this is not a place you go to dress up. Just fans in the room no air conditioning. Sadly there are no fans in the dining area so when... More

Aore is a true island paradise. We have had many visits to Santo and always choose to stay at Aore. Anne and the staff are exceptional. Friendly, happy, ploite and very well trained. The meals are fantastic and the chef is excellent. The Santo Beef is by far the best beef I have ever had. It melts in your mouth.... More

Aore Island is a short, free ferry ride, across from Santo Island. The photos on the resort's website certainly tell it like it is - the place is gorgeous! The rooms are all bungalows with great balconies overlooking the water. We stayed in a deluxe beach front bungalow and enjoyed the extra space and larger balcony. The beach at the... More

In two minds about this place, will list the ups and downs: UPS - good location, in front of Luganville, snorkling around the island is fantastic, we saw turtles, massive corals and lots of fish. There is even a lion fish that lives by the jetty. - food is good - beachfront studios are clean and comfortable, light and elegantly... More

From the moment we were met at the airport, the greeting at the resort to being waved off ten days later, we had a lovely relaxing holiday - just what the doctor ordered! We selected the Aore Island Resort because we are a couple and we value our privacy and peace and quiet, and we needed a tranquil relaxing break.... More

We would definitely recommend this for a relaxing holiday. It was far above our expectations. It is a very professionally operated resort with a personal hands-on charm. Welcoming cocktails and flowers in the rooms were a lovely touch and indicative of the attention to detail that applies to everything including the food. Excellent value for money.
