Sanma, migliori spiagge

Questa spiaggia dovrebbe essere di livello mondiale, ma diciamocelo, è solo un'altra trappola turistica esagerata. Certo, potrebbe essere incontaminata e di alta qualità a Vanuatu, ma questo non significa molto. La spiaggia è enorme, ma non aspettatevi alcuna privacy quando vi battete per un posto con gli altri pochi visitatori. E non dimentichiamo i due piccoli bar sulla spiaggia che probabilmente sono sovraprezzati e affollati. Anche le strutture del bagno non sono niente di speciale, quindi assicuratevi di portare la vostra carta igienica. Ah, e abbiamo menzionato che questa spiaggia si trova in mezzo al nulla? Buona fortuna ad arrivarci senza un GPS e un senso di avventura.

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.

Questo resort è unico. Il cibo è eccellente e in continua evoluzione. La posizione è fantastica e il personale è incredibilmente disponibile e ha sempre un sorriso sul viso.

Questo posto è imbattibile! Sono stato a Santo tre volte ormai e durante la mia ultima visita abbiamo soggiornato a Hideaway Beach Bungalow e abbiamo incontrato Pascal. L'ospitalità mostrata da Pascal e la sua famiglia non ha eguali. La posizione è sbalorditiva e i bungalow artigianali creati dalla sua famiglia sono davvero notevoli. Se vuoi davvero provare Santo, stare qui è un must!

Questo posto è assolutamente sbalorditivo e credo che tutti dovrebbero avere l'opportunità di visitarlo e sperimentarlo. Marie e suo marito erano incredibilmente amichevoli e ci hanno fatto sentire i benvenuti. La casa era impeccabilmente pulita e organizzata e i loro bambini erano adorabili. Inoltre, lo chef ha preparato i pasti appetitosi per noi. Sono andati ben oltre per aiutarmi in ogni modo possibile. Il mare brulicava di coralli, pesce e persino tartarughe. Questo posto manterrà per sempre un posto speciale nel mio cuore, poiché è pieno di ricordi preziosi.

Upon arriving at Sails Beach House, I was immediately impressed by the beauty of the place. Nellie, the owner, has clearly put a lot of thought into every detail, making the whole place look stunning. The outdoor hammocks and al fresco dining area were perfect for the tropical setting. The rooms were spacious and beautifully decorated, and I was pleasantly surprised to find a bottle of champagne waiting for us in the fridge. It was a fantastic way to start my Vanuatu adventure. The house also had a private lagoon area and a beach right in the backyard. Since we were on Aore Island, we had to take a water taxi to get to town, which required some planning ahead. The cost was 1,000VT each way, and sometimes the taxis operated on 'island time,' so it's something to keep in mind. However, I soon realized that the boat rides were one of the highlights of my trip, and I now miss the daily commute by boat. During high tides, the boat could even dock right at the backyard, providing a unique experience. Nellie was incredibly helpful and had everything prepared before my arrival in Vanuatu. She provided a comprehensive guide to Santo, allowing us to plan our activities from the comfort of our home. George, the caretaker, was also fantastic, taking care of all the little details and checking in on us regularly. I highly recommend Sails Beach House as one of the best places to stay in Santo, regardless of the type of group you're traveling with. I would definitely stay here again on my next trip to Vanuatu.
