My wife and I had such a lovely time staying here. The beach huts were so comfortable, the secenery beautiful, the management helpful. We had free use of the kayaks and snorkelling gear and the food was yummy and plentiful. All for a very reasonable price for vanuatu.

I think this must be one of the best kept secrets in Vanuatu. I cannot believe it is not fully booked months in advance. This is our third visit to Vanuatu, and of the 7 places we have stayed by far the nicest. The location is on Moso island, about 30 mins drive then about 30 min boat from Vila.... More

Sorry to leave it so late. We visited the island in May this year. It was, as fa as I can remember, the best value for money holidays we have had in ages. Basic and simple, but cosy and clean. The huts were very rustic which just added to the whole experience. My son managed to get his open water... More

A great holiday. We had a really wonderful time. The staff were tremendous and made us feel part of the island experience. We will certainly recommend it to our friends. With special thanks to Lindsey who made the whole holiday an enjoyable time. Of course, we cannot forget 'captain Owen' he is a great guy. His vision of a Robinson... More

Forget any of the earlier negative reviews. Our visit to Tranquility Island Dive resort was better than we expected. 10/10. We were picked up from Port Vila by very friendly staff and transferred straight to the waiting ferry trip across to Moso Island. The site managers, John and Jo were waiting at the pier to greet us with a wave... More

designed for low impact on the environment, this place has all you need, without frills. Simple huts right on the beachj Friendly staff, pleasant food - and fabulous snorkeling and diving right at hand.

I have stayed in out of the way islands before and had expected very basic facilities. The Tranquility resort was pleasantly surprising in that there was hot water, cold beer, an ensuite bathroom attached to the fare (shack), and an abundance of good healthy food. They make no secret of the fact that there is only power for a couple... More

We once again chose to spend a week at Tranquillity during our Vanuatu holiday. We choose it because you can snorkel off the beach in a number of different places that are within easy walking distance of the accomodation, so you don't need to wait for a boat or day trip to go out. That, and the fact that this... More

We went to Tranquillity to Dive but did not stay at the resort. The diving was incredible. We booked for one day and then went back and did it all again on a second day! Steve and Sarah and Divemaster Tommy were all wonderful. They not only took you on amazing dives but made you feel right at home.

The "resort" is more a backpackers place and only attractive if you go there for diving (very good dive sites), its main attraction. Rooms are very basic and the meal package (compulsory) is very limited, with little variety. Only a few hours electricity a day and water supply problems might occur. Location is nice, with good snorkelling. There is an... More
