se de bedste strande
Denne strand skulle være verdensklasse, men lad os være ærlige, det er bare endnu en overhypet turistfælde. Ja, den kan være ren og topkarakter i Vanuatu, men det siger ikke meget. Stranden er stor, men forvent ikke nogen privatliv, når du kæmper om en plads med de andre få besøgende. Og lad os ikke glemme de to små strandbarer, der sandsynligvis er overpris og overfyldte. Badeværelsesfaciliteterne er heller ikke noget at skrive hjem om, så sørg for at pakke dit eget toiletpapir. Åh, og har vi nævnt, at denne strand er midt i ingenting? Held og lykke med at komme derhen uden en GPS og en følelse af eventyr.
We stayed at the Barrier Beach Resort for four nights, booking a beachfront fare. The room was a bit dated but still comfortable, with a soft king-sized bed and flat pillows that could use an update. The gardens have grown in nicely, making the place feel lush and green. Unfortunately, our flights were cancelled by Air Vanuatu, causing us to arrive two days later than planned. The resort was unable to accommodate our change in dates or offer a refund for the missed nights. The manager, Wayne, was not willing to make an exception, which left us feeling undervalued as guests. In contrast, the resort we stayed at in Tanna was very accommodating when our flights were cancelled multiple times. They adjusted our booking dates and deducted food and beverage costs for the nights we couldn't use. Despite the issues with Air Vanuatu, we were disappointed with the lack of flexibility at Barrier Beach Resort. The beach was pretty, but the coral was not healthy and the water was cloudy during our stay, limiting visibility. The restaurant was decent, with a variety of cocktails and menu options like poulet and Santo beef. However, there were some odd charges for extras like bacon and tropical fruit, and scrambled eggs were not very appetizing. There were also additional charges for credit card payments and new rules in place, such as restrictions on using certain towels and consuming duty-free alcohol on the beach. Overall, we felt that the resort had lost some of its Melanesian charm in favor of investor returns.
This resort is unique. The food is excellent and constantly changing. The location is fantastic and the staff are incredibly helpful and always have a smile on their face.
We arrived on a cruise and were looking for a nice spot to swim, eat, and unwind. Someone suggested Black Pearl, so we called to confirm if we could visit. The service was excellent! We had a couple of pizzas for lunch. They were pricey, but we could pay in AUD. The beach on the right was much better for snorkeling compared to the one on the left.
Dette sted er uovervindelig! Jeg har været i Santo tre gange nu, og under mit sidste besøg boede vi på Hideaway Beach Bungalows og mødte Pascal. Gæstfriheden vist af Pascal og hans familie er uden sidestykke. Placeringen er fantastisk, og de håndlavede bungalower skabt af hans familie er virkelig bemærkelsesværdige. Hvis du virkelig ønsker at opleve Santo, er det at bo her et must!
Unfortunately, much of the area was damaged in the recent cyclone. You can still see bits of metal and engine blocks scattered around. It makes for a costly swim. Despite this, it's still a beautiful spot, though somewhat marred by broken glass. I recommend getting reef shoes for swimming and a quality mask and snorkel.
