Such a lovely place to stay. Owners and staff so friendly and helpful. Fabulous food, great swimming and snorkelling. Paddle boards, kayaks and push bikes free to use. So quiet and relaxing. A visit to the local school is a must. The teachers are lovely. Many tours and activities to do around Louganville and easy to book through the resort. Highly recommend Mt Hope float.

Very real resort - peaceful and well loved and cared for and run by Brad Lisa and family as well as all the beautiful staff thank you tumas😀 the snorkeling and kayaking very easy-close too didn't even need to use fins and saw a huge variety of tropical fish soft and hard corals Food and service of an excellent standard and ever changing grounds lush tropical and beautifully maintained 😀 If you are looking for total chill out time definitely ticks that box ☑️ The only negative was the day we had to leave this special island paradise Santo is a definite step back to real island life which has been lost to westernisation in many other Pacific destinations Hopefully we can return again asap!! Kind regards Chris and Jan

Excellent location, I swam every day 5 m from my cabin. The cabin is beautifully decorated with good taste, just the essentials and made with wonderful natural local materials. The bed was so comfortable! The food is really good, tasty and light and the people very friendly and ready to assist at any given moment. The owner helped us out himself when our flight was moved earlier and we had to leave really early in the morning while no transfers were available. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable!

From start to finish the holiday was perfect. We were greeted at the Jetty by the owners and taken to our bungalows with fresh cocnuts in hand to sip on as we walked. The staff we encountered were all really friendly and very good at their respective jobs. We always felt that nothing was too much trouble for any of them, and their main aim was to make sure we were having a good time. The evening entertainment we saw was great, I could have listened to the string band all night, and the water music ladies were out of this world. All the meals we had were fantastic, the chefs make the most of the fresh produce creating new dishes everyday. Everything the resort advertises and promises is delivered and then some. Thanks for an amazing holiday and the extra touches provided to help us celebrate our wedding anniversary.

Wow! What a find this was. From the very first welcome, which was superb, our stay here was fantastic. The quality, organisation & attention to detail doesn't go un-noticed. The gardens you walk through to your accomodation & the beaches are all very well maintained. 👌🏻 The beach front bungalow was just as described & all we could want. The owners really do care & the staff are just fantastic, I can't praise the staff highly enough, they were so welcoming, friendly & helpful. 👍 To the gents who made my cocktails each evening, you are stars, Michelle, Rocky & Masio, thank you & I hope to enjoy another Aore Island Ice Tea again soon. 👌🏻👍👌🏻 Now, the food, oh, wow, the staff behind the scenes in the kitchen truely are magicians. The lobster dishes & boy, oh boy, the crab too are some of the best tasting dishes I have ever had. I've eaten all around the globe, in Europe, Asia, Latin America & the food here is as good as some of the best restaurants I've eaten in anywhere 100% 👌🏻 The bungalow was very clean & the daily room service was excellent. We had a fantastic time at Aore Island Resort & would 100% recommend it to anyone. The snorkeling just in front of the resort is good with an abundance of marine life to see. There are paddle boards, kayaks & bicycles free for guests to use. I couldn't fault Aore Island Resort in any way. To the owners & staff, THANK YOU! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
