The one of best things I found at this resort was the menu that changed daily. The food was fresh and plentiful and was reasonably priced. The cabins were spacious and cleaned daily, I loved the isolation and private beach. The staff were wonderful, friendly and accommodating.

Fantastic location with snorkelling literally off our back balcony. The staff were all a pleasure, and it was so nice to get to know them all by name, such a nice personal touch. We stayed in 5 different places in Vanuatu, and Aore Island Resort was our favourite!
Nothing! Such a great resort

Spent 3 nights at Aore and wished we could’ve stayed for longer. Montana and the staff were very nice and cared for all the guests. My partner organised a surprise proposal dinner night on the jetty and the staff decorated the jetty so nicely and even gave us a bottle of champagne on the house to celebrate our engagement! It was magical and a memory I will cherish! The food was also delicious and the snorkeling right in front of our bungalow was some of the best we’ve seen. Plenty of different types of fish and crystal clear waters too. Having access to paddle boards and kayaks that we could use for free was also another plus. A very enjoyable stay indeed and we will certainly be back.

The staff were amazing and always willing to help where they could. The food was always fresh and changed daily depending on availability. There were plenty of tours available to visit local attractions, all organised by the local staff. The Bungalows were clean and comfortable. Towels were changed every day and rooms were cleaned and made up. With the high humidity this was needed as everything stays damp very easily. The Bungalows were right on the water, stunning views and really convenient for regular swims. Paddle Boards and Kayaks are free. The resort has entertainment some nights - string band, grass band, water dancers, Kava tasting, weaving, coconut milk making to name a few. We had a great time and will definitely be returning.
There is no Aircon anywhere on the Island. This made sleeping very difficult due to the high humidity and temperatures. Wify was only available in the restaurant area, it would have been nice to have the option in the Bungalows as-well. There was no decent coffee - mainly instant. There was only one kind of tea available. Would have been nice to have a few different options. The pool was beautiful but completely open to the sun so it gets really warm like a bath - definitely not refreshing. A shade sail would make a difference.

The resort is a tropical oasis filled with all the essentials so you can focus on kicking back, exploring, snorkelling bike riding… The owners and staff have hit on the right formula and we felt welcome and special throughout our stay
The food is terrific and especially when you consider that you are not exactly around the corner from the market. That said, I would probably like to see some simple/food offerings added to the menu… we stayed 9 nights and I found myself yearning for a simple salad or rice dish. Kids menu would benefit with the addition of burger and spaghetti options.

What an amazing resort! from the moment you step off the ferry you are greeted with a warm welcome. The food at the resort is excellent with the set menu changing daily. This resort took care of all of our tours and activities, which i highly recommend as it makes everything stress free. The owners have really invested a lot back into the property over the lockdown with the whole place in (including the pool ) in immaculate order.

A perfect little paradise island our villa was 5mt from the ocean the view facilities and room were excellent. The owner met us off the boat and came to the dock to say goodbye which made us feel special. The food... omg amazing, they had free canoe paddle boards, snorkles and bikes to use whilst on the island, we also had some water dance entertainment a real relaxing holiday. Our trip was cut short because of a cancelled flight but still managed to see the blue holes champayne beach million dollar point and olray beach. With a little cava experience as well. Not sure i recomend. :( lol . The snorkling was amazing too just under the deck not huge but enough to get your imagination wondering what else could be out there... thanks Aore Island we loved our stay. ❤️🐠🐚🦐🌴🥥🇻🇺 J&C W.
Could not fault much would only say i didnt like the tolieries they supplied the liquid soap made your skin feel dry and they did not aupply any body creme which i thought unusual since u would need it after the harsh sun, we left ours thinking it would be supplied as most if not all other accomodation do..

We had an amazing time during our 5 night stay at Aore Island Resort. We booked a beach bungalow and could walk straight from our porch to the (coral) sea. Special compliments to the staff as the food was really tasty using local products (so many different ways to use coconut in dishes) and included for example lobster, lamb, ribs, sirloin steak and vegetarian pumpkin pasta. Also, the complementary evening entertainment was amazing (water dancers, kava tasting, local music & songs). Lastly, we also really enjoyed the free bikes to explore the island. Thanks a lot Lisa & Brad for sharing your beautiful Vanuatu paradise with us.
Nothing!

Breakfast was lovely plenty of fruit and good choice of eggs etc and the pickup from the airport straight to the island at 7.30am was on time and our room was ready so that was fantastic.
Before we arrived we did ask the resort questions on GF meals and we were sent the bill twice when I had already paid thru Booking.com. We did not receive an answer to any correspondence. Very poor communication as my friend who has celiac disease was disappointed there was not a lot of choice in the meals and the staff didn’t understand what gluten free meant. They tried their best to accommodate her.

Location and privacy of our bungalow were excellent! Enjoyed the proximity to the beach and snorkeling. Personalised engagement with the owners - they made you feel more like friends than guests. Staff were tremendous - always friendly, helpful and polite. Food was great - our compliments to the chef and support staff! Snorkeling experience and feeding the fish off the house dock. Enjoyed 2 weeks of pure relaxation!
Some of the bicycles had mechanical issues, but owners are aware and working to solve this. :)
