île d'Espiritu Santo plages

Cette plage est censée être de classe mondiale, mais soyons réalistes, c'est juste un autre piège à touristes surévalué. Certes, elle peut être immaculée et hautement classée à Vanuatu, mais cela ne veut pas dire grand-chose. La plage est immense, mais ne vous attendez pas à avoir de l'intimité lorsque vous vous battez pour une place avec les autres poignées de visiteurs. Et n'oublions pas les deux petits bars de plage qui sont probablement trop chers et surpeuplés. Les installations sanitaires ne sont pas non plus dignes d'être mentionnées, alors assurez-vous d'emporter votre propre papier toilette. Oh, et avons-nous mentionné que cette plage est au milieu de nulle part ? Bonne chance pour y arriver sans GPS et sens de l'aventure.

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.

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.

Cet endroit est imbattable! Je suis allé à Santo trois fois maintenant, et lors de ma dernière visite, nous avons séjourné dans les bungalows de la plage de Hideaway et rencontré Pascal. L'hospitalité montrée par Pascal et sa famille est sans précédent. L'emplacement est magnifique et les bungalows fabriqués à la main créés par sa famille sont vraiment remarquables. Si vous voulez vraiment expérimenter Santo, rester ici est un 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.

Cet endroit est absolument magnifique! Marie est incroyable! Elle est tellement gentille, prépare les repas les plus délicieux pour nous et nous accueille toujours avec un sourire chaleureux tout en engageant des conversations amicales. Nous approuvons de tout cœur ce bungalow sans aucune hésitation. Nous attendons avec impatience notre prochaine visite!
