Guest Reviews:
- "The property is so relaxing and unique. My family were literally the only guests there in July, due to Air Vanuatu flight cancellations, but the staff still treated us like kings. The food was delicious, and my children especially enjoyed the horse riding and swimming with horses. We all had a great time snorkeling right off the beach with lots of coral and fish to see. When our departure flight was postponed a day, the resort was also very proactive about checking in with the airline to get updates and happily extended our stay the extra night."
