The location was beautiful! The owners, the manager and the staff are all super friendly, welcoming and very helpful. The breakfast, lunch and dinner are really great with delicious dishes with fresh ingredients. There is also a wide choice for vegetarians which is great! The restaurant is very cozy and has a beautiful view over the bay, with a terrace right on the water. The PADI dive center of Turtle Bay Lodge is conveniently located next to the restaurant and is practically furnished with many different items, such as kayaks, paddle boards, snorkeling gear, etc. There is also a nice shop at the reception with beautiful merchandise to have a nice memory of your stay. The dive sites are very close to Turtle Bay Lodge, close to several nearby islands. You can also snorkel in front of the restaurant, which is great. The atmosphere throughout the site is very relaxing and you can enjoy yourself in a hammock under the trees. At the reception you can arrange any excursions you want to do, or even rent a buggy if you want to go out on your own. Santo island is so beautiful, with such friendly people!

This is truly a hidden gem. While most accommodations in Luganville are very pricey, Kathy’s guesthouse is affordable. besides that, the place is set in a nice garden, in a local neighborhood. Kathy is extremely helpful and friendly. The room is clean and has some cooking facilities. there are two shops across the street.

Esline was kindness itself. When I arrived, the hot water wasn’t working so she insisted I’d have a hot shower at her house. She cooked the plantain bananas bought, not realising they needed to be cooked before they could be eaten, and brought me back a proper meal which included them.

The place is heaven on earth. Both the location and the house itself are stunning. Plus Sue and James have taken care of ourselves as if we were family. If you’re looking for an exclusive place to stay, close to the blue holes and wonderful beaches, Lope lope is your choice.
