Delicious Dining Experience

I absolutely loved the food at the resort! The restaurant offered a great variety, balancing local cuisine and western meals. The fresh fish caught daily prepared by Charlie was a highlight of our meals. I particularly enjoyed one of their cocktails, which perfectly complemented dinner. It was a treat to dine with stunning ocean views!

Cozy Bungalow Comfort

I stayed in a Double Bure during my visit and found it to be very comfortable and functional. It was spacious, clean, and had all the necessities I needed to enjoy my stay. The beautiful views of the ocean from my bungalow added to the good experience. The daily housekeeping added a nice touch too!

I had an absolutely fantastic stay at this resort! The entire property was immaculate, and I really enjoyed the charm of the basic huts. The restaurant offered delicious meals that catered well to my vegetarian preferences, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The only slight downside was that the rooms might get hot and humid during warmer months as there's no air conditioning. Overall, it’s a perfect spot for relaxation and exploring the beautiful island's tours.

We had an incredible time on Tanna Island, where we found a true paradise away from the typical tourist traps. The natural beauty of the island and the warmth of its people made our stay unforgettable. The food at the restaurant was a culinary delight, especially thanks to Charlie. While our room had a unique charm, the lack of air conditioning made it a bit uncomfortable at times. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our 4-night escape, though I do wish we could have stayed longer.
