Turtle Bay Lodge

This place was absolutely beautiful, with breathtaking views. Santo Island is by far the most amazing island I’ve ever visited. I went to celebrate my 30th birthday, and the next day I got engaged — both days the staff went above and beyond to make us feel special. They even decorated our table, which was such a lovely touch. Everyone was incredibly kind, warm, and always willing to help. Our cabin was also amazing — cozy, clean, and perfect for the setting. Honestly, this is one of the best places I’ve ever stayed in my life. 100% recommended. I’d come back in a heartbeat.

What am amazing place! From the welcome drink and smiles on arrival to the moment we left, the staff and management helped with our every need. I had been in touch with the team before our arrival and they helped us pre arrange the activities we wanted to do ahead of time which ended up being essential as we would have missed out otherwise. (The horse riding and Best snorkeling Santo often need to be booked in advance.) The restaurant was beautiful and the food was delicious - they even managed to cater for my difficult dairy /gluten free diet which is a rare find. Free continental breaksfast was available, juice, cereal toast and a delicious fresh fruit platter with a full breakfast menu available for an extra cost (half price for resort guests!) The rooms are all beachside and are lovely - just enough comfort but rustic enough to not feel too 'resorty' and everything is kept very clean. Being able to hire kayaks directly from the lodge and expore was great and they supplied dry bags, towels etc. for when we went out on them and on other day trips. Everything was made super easy. The people, the place - everything exceeded my expectations and we truly hope to be back someday! Absolutely loved it - Thank you Vicky, Mick and the team for making us feel so welcome.

Great location,clean and spacious rooms w comfy beds. Good range of accommodation food was excellent. Breakfast snacks and dinner. All good quality well prepared and tasty! Staff were excellent. Access to water activities - kayak, stand up paddling board, snorkelling etc

We enjoyed our stay at this small boutique resort a lot! The resort offers great adventurous options to explore the area for all levels of fitness. We in particular enjoyed renting a kayak and paddle to the nearby blue holes, highlight of our entire stay in Vanuatu. Renting a quad bike to get to Champagne Beach was another highlight, so was diving organized by the in-house PADI dive center. EVERYONE was always super friendly! Thanks for a great and memorable stay!

We loved our stay at turtle bay, Vicky and mick were lovely managers. They always checked in to see how we were going and what they could do to help book activities or offer recommendations. The food quality was fantastic, for an island that can have limited supplies they did a great job at providing a lot of menu options. The staff were all so friendly and you could tell they loved their job and were happy to be working at turtle bay.
