10/10 Excellent
"We had 4 amazing days in Bombua Beach Hotel and Restaurant in Espiritu Santo Island in Vanuatu. Our Garden View villa was beautiful, very well designed and appointed. We loved its comfort and cosiness, high quality modern furniture, very comfy king bed with lovely linens and speedy Starlink internet. The plunge pool and very private garden area added to our total unwinding time spent there. We enjoyed a lot to see beauty of the Santo Island on the private trip organised by hotel owners Stacy and Ashley. The restaurant and its food were also fantastic. We have tried delectable seafood plater, fish, and seafood pasta for dinners. Breakfasts (included in price) were very tasty. Our hosts were fantastic, very accommodating. We had interesting conversations and heard about their plans to expand the ocean front area into pool and direct snorkelling and scuba diving access. So we hope we will be back in Bombua Beach Hotel next year to relax and see this impressive place developed into a great resort. Ewa and Janusz"

"Deco Stop is a great place to stay during a trip to Santo. Itโ€™s in a great position with a commanding view over the bay. The rooms are pretty basic but they have everything you need and theyโ€™re clean and comfortable. The staff are exceptional, they really made our stay. Jackie and Marilyn are stars! The food is good, the beer is cold and the cocktails are strong. Watch out for the pool though โ€” itโ€™s as cool as the beer! (But still a welcome facility to have!)"
