Two Canoes Island Getaway

We had a really nice time at Two Canoes. It was very peaceful and perfect for a very relaxing holiday. Really good Snorkeling right out the front of your accomodation with Nemo fish & beautiful Corals. Staff are lovely, but shy, so you just have to ask when you would like something. Good for a few days.

Pros: Rooms are modern and cleaned daily. Relaxing.

Cons: Quicker meal service. There was only 5 of us for dinner and we had to wait over an hour sometimes for our meal.

Location: Pretty remote. No shops on the small island so bring snacks with you from main land. They have paddle boards and kayaks and the snorkelling is great

what the owner charges per night rises a high bench mark for what you actually get ? Its expensive to stay!!! Yep, a beautiful Island... There is no indication that you are boated across to an isolated island, which is great if your prepared to totally live off the Islands expenses for miscellaneous treats if vacating for a week or so! They provide NO bottled water, cooked breakfast or WI FI ? (you pay extra for this) In the rooms, NO clothes hangers, bar fridge for personal use & safe box. Things you expect if paying top $$. Thanks to the staff Derek (on site manager) and his crew that seemed to be challenged daily to provide what guest expected would of been included in the package. Disappointing Mark....

We stayed here for 5 nights on our honeymoon after really wanting to switch off from our home/work lives in Aus. The transit and connection to the island was smooth and dropped us on the beach where staff greeted us and we checked in. The resort was clean and tidy with workers about all days. The room was large open and bright and turned over each day. The food was great, we had fresh seafood from the fisherman and amazing beef from a nearby island. There isn’t a lot to do locally on this island though it is worth a walk to the coffee plantation on a Saturday morning for local brewed coffee. Tours on Santo are easily arranged and a quick trip over to the tour last by boat was gladly arranged by the staff. It was worth the trip to champagne beach and port olry and a swim in the blue holes. The stay was perfect for us. This isn’t a 5 star resort full of amenities and toys but that’s exactly what we were looking for. Our day was pretty much wake early, enjoy the still morning water , take a kayak out into the bay and snorkel on the beautiful reefs and sunbake on the sand. A late swim and a snooze then back to the nakamal for a beer and a great dinner with dessert. Worth a trip back.
