Not much to dislike, it might have been nice to have local island food available on the menu.... this next part is nothing to do with the hotel but there is no other restaurants or cafes walking distance. We also took the quadbike into town and there is also nothing to see and nowhere to eat in town and no other restaurants along the side of the road unless you go to another hotel/resort.

We stayed in the marquee (it was like glamping). We looked out onto the bay, best view to wake up to every morning. Vicky, Mick and the team were amazing. The room was modern and Clean with good functioning aircon. The bed was comfortable. The continental breakfast included consisted of fresh tropical fruit, toast and tea/coffee. The restaurant food was fresh and good quality and the chief is amazing. We did a day of diving through the hotel, gear was clean, new and functioning well. We also hired a quad bike to see the sights.

A little far from town but that’s the trade off with the amazing views.

Beautiful views, good size rooms, air conditioning, friendly & helpful staff, great menu for adults and kids and plenty of activities & adventures close by.

Location and Staff

Perhaps there could be a change of menu from time to time or a change of "specials".

Facilities were very good. Location was ideal. Meals were very good overall. Lovely, peaceful place to stay and the staff were very friendly and efficient. Our room was fabulous.

Restuarant menu was unchanging and became tedious as well as quality was very average. Think sett times for lunch and dinner and a changing menu could be helpful for quality and variety. Have local food options.

Lots of nice spaces to relax in the shade (lounges/hammocks). Different areas to relax in.

Loved it.

A beautiful spot and the food was exceptional.

I struggled with the heat and no air con in the ocean front double rooms was hard with nil breeze coming through at all. It was a cold shower before bed then fan at full speed to be able to sleep.

The location was absolutely beautiful, ocean front, private tropical Oasis. Staff were just wonderful, felt like part of the family. Nothing was too much trouble, activities were as much or little as you wanted.

Nothing, want to live there.

The axing blue water, the locals where all smiles.

The staff weee fantastic and very friendly. The owners were always on hand to provide advice and assistance. The location waterfront was first class and what a way to wind down each day. Easy to get to some of the best sites on Santos. Loved the quad bike hire. Get on a quad bike and head up for Champagne beach. You won’t be disappointed.

No dislikes.

Location was perfect. Mick & Vicky and their staff were perfect hosts, nothing was a problem. We stayed in a Deluxe Marquee, glamping at its best. Just like a hotel room but made of canvas. Ensuite bathroom, fridge, shelves for clothes and air con, perfect. The restaurant was great and catered for everyone, the food was cooked perfect every meal for all 6 days here. A good choice for breakfast. Snorkeling straight off the beach. Dive shop if you wanted to go deeper. Kayaks for exploring other nearby islands. Car and quad bike hire. Swimming pool was clean and had a smaller section for kids. Go visit Turtle Bay Lodge, you will not be disappointed.

Access from the main road which is (very potholed) is down a very rough dirt track.

Very pleasant outlook from restaurant with good food and coctails.

Lovely staff, amazing chef. The swimming pool, swings and hammocks kept the kids entertained. Plenty of space to relax away from others. The famous blue holes were only a short 10 minute drive away.

That we ended up spending more on food/drinks than planned - not because it was more expensive than we thought (prices are totally fine here, not overpriced if you keep in mind, that food in general is expensive on the south pacific islands), but because the food was so good, that we ate a LOT. :D

Everything. Excellent service, in every way very well managed place with great eye for details and an atmosphere that makes it hard to leave. Our room was so comfy, cleaner than clean and beautifully decorated and furnished. The whole lodge is beautiful with lots of cozy places to relax. Restaurant for breakfast and dinner was great, everything we had during our 4 days was super delicious (also lots of yummy vegetarian options). There is no real beach but easy water access and lots of hammocks, chairs, lounges and sunbeds right by the sea overlooking beautiful turtle bay. Location was also a huge plus for us. Not too far from champagne beach, close to the blue holes and not too far from Luganville and the airport either. Having a rental car was great for us, but the lodge offers lots of tours, so it’s not a must have here. Finally the staff was just amazing, from housekeeping to restaurant/reception staff or the management itself - everyone was so friendly, helpful and did just a great job. This was not the most expensive place we stayed in in the south pacific region but by far the best so far. One of our favorite spots ever (and we do travel a lot all over the globe). Highly recommend!

Everything is great . Little loud because next to ocean. But acceptable because of the view . The road from airport is not great

Very nice restaurant inside and great view

Breakfast time was a bit slow disjointed and confusing at times.

The space available.. The decorating. The food. The range and price of drinks. The grounds. The tours available. The staff. The room.

The Glamping Tents were spacious, well designed & extremely comfortable. The staff were all friendly & attentive & happy to make arrangements to suit. The area is full of wonderful places to visit, or just stay & relax at the Lodge.

Had to check out early due to cyclone but no refund. Had to wait over an hour to check-in as staff told us the manager had been using our room and had gone out for the day so staff couldn't clean it and then he lied when we spoke to him and told us there was a water leak issue. Expensive and so are meals and drinks.

Beautifully presented romantic and tropical holiday destination. Great location to explore Santo - make sure you get a hire car from somewhere.

Management and staff took loving care of us. Special thanks to Vicky and Mike who are managing the property. The food was fabulous, the excursions fantastic and the accommodation specious and comfortable. The sunset from my room were unbeatable. It was very pleasant to have an adult only area and a separate space for families.

There are no local shops to walk to so I would recommend picking up some snacks when in town to store in your fridge. I was surprised tea wasn’t included in the price with the continental breakfast.

Turtle Bay is gorgeously located. A stunning spot to escape and enjoy some peace and quiet with generous sized rooms. Mick, Vicky and their team are so welcoming, and I was very well looked after. They helped to organise my day trips, a massage (waterfront, highly recommend), canoeing etc. Really helpful. Water views are gorgeous. Continental fresh breaky is included daily of toast, fruit, lime juice and cereals. They also have a pool. And a handy adults only side to the resort for individuals like myself travelling solo, which I appreciated.
