Nice, but not very friendly

A beautiful spot, great snorkelling and very relaxing but the staff are so unfriendly and just don't seem like the others in Vanuatu. Anytime we went to order at the bar it just seemed as if we were bothering them! We stayed for 4 nights and just didnt at all feel welcomed. The…

Perfect Getaway

After a great experience last year, we returned this year for another ten days and it did not disappoint. The staff are so polite and accommodating, bungalows are great but most of all it was just good to sit back and relax. The snorkelling on the reef is amazing and the onsite…

Paradise Island

Just come back from a three night stay on Hideaway with my Hubby and 2 girls (18 and 14) and all I can say is it was just what we needed after surviving the dreaded final year of school. We had only stepped off the boat and checked in, but on a wander to orientate bumped into…

Hi is there a any sort of supermarket or anywhere you can by items close by or do we have to travel to Pt. Vila Thanks

There are a few little stores nearby, and several family friendly pubs / beach bars run by westerners within walking distance. No chance of going hungry! The trip to the supermarkets in pt vila is a nice one - takes a leisurely 25 mins on the local bus maybe a bit faster in a taxi.

How long in the boat to your island from mainland? Do you have courtesy vehicle to take us the Port Vila town too.?

Hi Jokers, The boat ride from Mele beach is a short 5 minute trip. Our staff will help with your luggage. We do not have a bus but all throughout the day there are busses and taxis at Mele beach. The busses are share ride and are inexpensive (300 to 600 vatu) We hope to see you soon!

Cost of transport from airport to island please? Also, cost of a scuba dive for a qualified diver?

We can arrange airport transfers for 2250vatu for two people one way. Drivers need an expensive permit to pick up at the airport which is why it is more than regular bus fare. We make sure our drivers show up for arrivals. Scuba diving are currently priced at 6000vt per dive and are cheaper if you choose to dive more than once. Ten dive or more packages are our best value. For more information on diving and costs please email our water sports Manager.
