Positive: Food was delicious! The island is beautiful. You can spend all day snorkeling there and constantly see new fish Its a beautiful spot and amazing island. Staff were lovely people.
Negative: No wifi or aircon in rooms Gets bright very early. Ferry only runs a few times a day so felt rushed to be back by certain times. Had a very bad massage there that was extremely overpriced.

Positive: It is a beautiful resort. It is on a separate island from Santo and because we booked via booking.com and not directly, we had to pay for transport from the airport which is provided for free if you book directly (so book directly). There is a boat going back and forth from Santo 4 times a day so you need to be organised. Staff was amazing. The food was also great (lobser, crab, Santo beef but also other meals). The houses are lovely and comfortable. Snorkelling in front of the resort is nice too. You are provided with snorkels and reef shoes. The owners are very nice and friendly, always trying to help. Great diving is available from the dive shop next to the resort. They also have mountain bikes available at the resort and pool. The gardens are the resort are amazing. You do feel like landed in paradise.
Negative: Overnight it was very hot (came in April) and we struggled with sleeping because of this despite the fans above beds. Prices of everything in Vanuatu for tourists are very expensive. A whole day trip with a car would be 500 AUD$ for 4 people hence our one week bill for food and activities was AUD$3000. Food is also overpriced noting that the salaries of staff are around 20-30$ per day. Similarly, diving was around 400$ per person for 2 dives (one morning). Some of it is related to import taxes but I think some of it is just because people can charge a lot as there is not much choice. This is not limited to the resort but to Vanuatu. It is important to be aware of this as we spend 6000$ for activities and food and another 4000$ for 8 nights of accommodation. So if you are in for a cheap holidays, Vanuatu is probably not it. But it was all worth it (provided you can pay for it).
Summary: Great place and great service.

Positive: The staff were amazing and always willing to help where they could. The food was always fresh and changed daily depending on availability. There were plenty of tours available to visit local attractions, all organised by the local staff. The Bungalows were clean and comfortable. Towels were changed every day and rooms were cleaned and made up. With the high humidity this was needed as everything stays damp very easily. The Bungalows were right on the water, stunning views and really convenient for regular swims. Paddle Boards and Kayaks are free. The resort has entertainment some nights - string band, grass band, water dancers, Kava tasting, weaving, coconut milk making to name a few. We had a great time and will definitely be returning.
Negative: There is no Aircon anywhere on the Island. This made sleeping very difficult due to the high humidity and temperatures. Wify was only available in the restaurant area, it would have been nice to have the option in the Bungalows as-well. There was no decent coffee - mainly instant. There was only one kind of tea available. Would have been nice to have a few different options. The pool was beautiful but completely open to the sun so it gets really warm like a bath - definitely not refreshing. A shade sail would make a difference.
Summary: Highly Recommended
