"Very nice place with a restaurant on site that has delicious food at every meal! View is wonderful and the staff are so kind and very helpful. We definitely recommend staying here!"
"The property was actually pretty clean however the toilet in our cabin was leaking all over the floor. No coffee in the morning the coffee machine was broken, decided on a smoothie but they didn't have any fruit. We had no chef to cook dinner and your a decent cab ride to town. Favourite thing about this Resort was the lovely staff however the management are not maintaining the resort very well and it's in a not so great location, there's many better resorts on the island"
Tropicana Motel & Backpackers
Tropicana Motel & Backpackers"Very noisy place. Guests up all hours of the night, doors slamming, loud talking. When do these people sleep? If you dont mind a wakefull night and joining the gospel singalong at 5 am, yes really, than this is the place for you. Rooms were kept clean, and its cheap. I can't recommend it"
"This is an easy recommendation - very professionally run with great staff. Excellent beds and rooms - currently renos have just about finished so all rooms are new. Central to Luganville. A really easy place to have a base for all the sightseeing and adventuring that Santo offers."
"Rooms are excellent, host was great. Was a bit of a windy spot. Had a restaurant but not open for 1 room out of 4 occupied. I would come back."
