If you ask what Santo is best known for surley it would be the Culture & Diving but like you many are discovering the Organic Beef raised on Santo is another good reason to visit. We have just had a resort full of French from Noumea staying with us and along with the baskets and wood work, Packs of Beef... More

We recently spent 5 days at the Village de Santo and had a wonderful time, with Nabil, Janette and the wonderful staff looking after all our needs. The rooms are very modern, spacious and clean with a lovely central swimming pool and the best restaurant we found on Santo. The chef is fantastic and made special meals for my wife... More

The running of Village de santo Resort is a team effort- our local staff are well trained and happy in their work place and Nabil & I love what we do. When a Key member of the team has to take leave, a gap has to be filled but I am very happy that while I was away recently we... More

I went to Vanuatu recently with a few friends and from the beginning of the trip in Port Vila we were greeted with bad weather (unlucky!), broken dreams and a blown-out budget. Enter: Village de Santo! When we arrived we were shown to our room and immediately made our way back to the bar and restaurant where we were greeted... More

We were meant to stay at Village de Santo for 2 nights, but loved the place so much we decided to spend another 3. The resort is in a great spot in Santo, just out of town, but close enough to get around cheaply. The owners, Bev and Nabil were some of the loveliest people you will meet and were... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Village de Santo - the rooms are large, clean and well-appointed, the staff were friendly and the service was helpful and efficient. But the most memorable part of our stay was dinner at the restaurant there: in our experience (and we've eaten out quite a lot in Vanuatu) food at many resorts and restaurants... More

Travelled over 2012 new years with a large group of friends (~10 of us). Village is a quaint, but very comfortable stay. Generous size rooms, relaxing pool and bar - it was perfect for a wind-down holiday. Bev and Nabil went the extra mile to make our stay truly memorable. Always enthusiastic to helping us plan our day's events, it... More
