This resort is a hidden gem for anyone seeking a tranquil getaway right by the beach. I loved my beachfront studio, where it felt so peaceful to unwind without the distractions of technology. The staff went above and beyond, making sure everything was perfect, from organizing day trips to serving delightful meals. While I didn't mind the simplicity of the room, it could use a few modern updates. Overall, an incredible place to relax and connect with nature!

Our stay at the resort was absolutely rejuvenating, and the food was a standout highlight! The bungalow we stayed in was clean and offered a glimpse into the lovely Vanuatu experience, although we didn't have a beachfront view, it was still a short walk away. On the downside, the dining experience left something to be desired with limited choices at breakfast. Overall, this place is perfect for those seeking relaxation and great dining by the water.
