Part of our day tour in Santo included lunch at Oyster Island. Lunch was good but a bit pricey. The find of the day however occurred when talking to the tours manager. As we had a second day in Santo we were on the lookout for something to do and the Mt Hope waterfall tour…

This is a "dead" resort - do not go

We booked this resort in February and fortunately did not pay money at that time. Since then the "resort" was sold to new owners, who, I was told, live in China. Managers from Australia could not work with new owners and left. Since then this place is no longer a resort. It is…

Hello, Is it true that the chinese have bought the island? I first went to the island in 2008, quiet, rustic, intimate, NATURAL. I was just suggesting to my partner and daughter that we should return for this July, (daughter and I stayed in 2010). He needs somewhere quiet, relaxing, Natural Environment. If the chinese have bought the island , it will be destroyed, Never to recover. And we will never return. Cheers

Oyster Island was sold and the new owners are replacing the existing buildings and infrastructure with a new development. Completion date has not been announced. Sorry you will be disappointed. This listing is currently being removed from TripAdvisor site to stop confusion.

Hi everyone, I've noticed through the reviews that many have travelled with young kids, some under 2 yrs old. I'm considering coming to Oyster Island via Port Vila with my (will be by then) 7 month old. I'll be speaking to a travel doctor soon, but just wondered if any of you had any problems travelling with an infant, and how did you deal with the (if any) concerns over things like Malaria. Many thanks.

We also travelled in November and had no problems at all. In fact, I don't recall seeing a mosquito! I usually get mauled too. The bungalows are screened and mozzie coils are provided. We had also heard that there is no malaria in Santo (although there is in Port Vila) -- prob best to check that with travel doctor. Vanuatu is a great place for kids and Oyster Island is particularly child-friendly. You will have a wonderful family holiday.
