Turtle Bay Lodge

This is a review overall for the hire of a Buggy as well as lunch/dinner that we had. In short…. Amazing in all aspects… Angie and Vicky are simply amazing at what they do and they go above and beyond in the 101 of customer service. Polite, friendly and literally couldn’t do enough to help you out. The Buggy I hired (4 seater) was perfect and such a fun way to see the island. The restaurant had amazing fresh food and a huge shout out to Valentine who looked after us all night - she is such a star! Amazing amazing amazing

I was very fortunate to enjoy three evenings at the Turtle Bay Lodge the beginning of this month. The beachfront room that I had was very clean and comfortable. The food was excellent in the restaurant and the resort staff were so helpful to me. I did a solo kayak to the Ri Ri Blue Hole and saw a Dugong, a Ni-Vanuatu village experience, and yes, I did try Kava a a local Nakamal. This is a beautiful property and was a highlight of my trip!

What an amazing place … staff, food and accomodation were all perfect . Location was great . Staff always happy to help with organising tours and make our stay truly wonderful . Our accomodation was in one of the glamping tents , fantastic and the view was superb, going to sleep with the sounds of the waves . What more could you want .

The resort to stay at whilst on Santo Island. Plenty of activities to choose from or just sloth about, your choice. Great food and plenty of choices. Remember to check the specials board, as the staff forget to tell you what's on. And don't forget to go fishing with Bob!

I'm never going back to Denerau after this! Wow, boutique resort on the water, no trashy glitz, just quiet gorgeousness. Excellent food and staff. We stayed in a self contained glamping tent with wooden floors and airconditioning, although there are actual rooms as another option. The activity options are amazing, and affordable, and the staff will help you book. Dont miss snorkelling on the reef and checking out the dugongs, also the blue holes, Riri river drifting and Champagne Beach. Theres even a PADI dive school there, and you can have a beginners session in the pool which makes it feel safe and accessible for those who only dreamed of scuba diving. On the last day we visited the local school which is supported by the Lodge. The managers are great community minded people who really care about their staff and the Santo community. We left feeling like we had contributed to the local economy as well as had a comfortable holiday with many new experiences in this beautiful spot.

Great family holiday with young children (2 & 5 yrs). Very safe, very friendly, very relaxed, very easy. Turtle Bay Lodge is central to the key sites, and plenty to do at or from the resort like sea kayaking around the bay, snorkelling around the bay, kayaking to nearby blue holes, hiring buggies or quads to go exploring, scuba.... Bear in mind that Santo is hardly touched by the western world, that is its strength but can be seen as its weakness too (ie food can be bland or limited options, you are on island time, not everything works as you'd expect etc) - all part of the experience!
