The owners and staff treat you like one of the family. There are 18 units surrounding a swimming pool and bar area. You sleep upstairs and the bathroom and sitting area are downstairs. The 1606 Restaurant offers delicious food. On Saturday night, there were local musicians playing and the owner encouraged the guests to join in by playing the maracas or dancing.

Enjoyable stay

The staff at Village de Santo make this place. They are so hard working, super helpful, aim to please and are attentive to detail. Great breakfast, kids loved the pancakes! And we loved the scrambled eggs. Nice layout of rooms, with central pool and lovely surrounding gardens. Beautifully tiled bathroom, you need a little patience with the shower but once underway it was the best! Thanks for a lovely stay :)

Nabil (owner) and his staff were so friendly and helpful during my stay there. Apartments are kept clean, the food is lovely. New Years Eve dinner accompanied with live music (including staff taking part) and some fireworks. It's a good place to relax, just what I wanted on a holiday.

Nice small hotel with great staff

Really nice hotel on the outskirts of Luganville. Cannot fault our room and good self catering option. No oven but a microwave/kettle etc... You will need to take a taxi to the beach and town unless you hire a car - hotel is not on a beach. Pretty quiet at night - all windows have fly screens and shutters but no glass. Very family friendly - especially with younger children.

A delightful stay.

We have just spent 10 delightful days at Village de Santo and found the hospitality and facilities excellent. The staff could not be faulted and the position, near the water and a short $2.40 taxi trip to the centre of town, was just what we wanted. It really is a "Village within a village", so there is no elite Resort-style aloofness. Yet the compound is secure and delightful, with an excellent restaurant and bar. The Saturday night local string band was a delight, (thanks David). Thanks especially to our host Nabil, for his urbane hospitality. The visit of the Vanuatu Prime Minister for lunch was an unexpected surprise!

The location was good, the restaurant was great with plenty of choices and the staff very pleasant and friendly, enjoyed a 9 night stay with husband but I don't think it would be ideal for young children because of the high stairs and the fact that the loft only has wire rails.

Lovely tropical layout

The Village de Santo looked after us well for a one night stay. The layout next to a refreshing pool was delightful, and the offerings in the restaurant delicious. As with most Vanuatu resorts, the staff were very kind, friendly and helpful. The accomodation is a little out of town, and next to a busy road with a little associated traffic noise. But a well maintained and pleasant accommodation stay in Luganville.

Diving the awesome SS President Coolidge

Village de Santo is a joy. Hosts Bev and Nabil and their staff go out of their way to make you very welcome. After a couple of days it feels like a homestay rather than a hotel. Great rooms, clean and comfortable beds and well appointed. Daily contintal breakfast is generous and includes fresh tropical fruit, pancakes, toast, pastries and their is also the choice of more substantial cooked fare. The icing on the cake is the coffee machine so you are never far away from having a great barista made coffee. Lunch and dinner menu is varied and prices are comparable with other restauranrs in town. Happy hour daily with reduced drink prices is fun. Facilities for divers are great with big tubs for washing and plenty of room to hang your gear. Village de Santo is a five minute taxi or bus ride into Luganville. Thoroughly recomended would be very happy stay again. Great spot to base yourself to dive the Coolidge.
