Stayed at HI for 6 days in April for some diving and to unwind. Found a pretty amazing deal so after reading the reviews on here was content with wat to expect. At the end, the place exceeded my expectations with regard to location, staff, diving, snorkelling.... Food was good for the standard, at the Melanesian feast and the bbq... More

After being to Hideaway 3 times over a 6 year period I still look forward to our stay there every time. Great staff, beautifull snorkelling and easy access to some wonderfull places. The Mele village walk and feast night are always a highlight for the group. The accomadation is comfortable and clean, great for the students. Food is always enjoyed... More

Spent a week at Hideaway Island earlier this month, with husband and two teenagers (14 and 17). It's a lovely little resort and we found all the staff really friendly and helpful, especially at the dive shop: my kids did their PADI Open Water certificate while they were there and the training was really excellent - very professional, thorough and...

We absolutely loved hideaway! If you are after some time just snorkelling sipping on tusker beer and relaxing I feel you should look no further, we ate and drank as much as we could for four nights and spent only 70 aud a day! The food has been the best so far for us in Vila and the pizzas were... More

We've been to Hideaway twice and it is one of our favourite places in the world. You are very well looked after, but it is not ostentatious or gaudy. There are no TVs or air conditioning, but there are the most wonderful views, brilliantly easy snorkeling, reasonable food, happy hour at the bar, and it's a great jump point for... More

We have just returned from a 12night stay at Hideaway with 3 kids 15,13 and 10 years old. Simply FANTASTIC for all of us one of ours best holidays yet. As far as the reef is concerned both diving and snorkelling are brilliant just as the other reviewers have stated.We knew we were not staying at a 5 star resort... More

SIMPLY save your money and choose another resort!... better again choose another island in the Pacific! A huge disappointment, substandard property, unsanitary ( toilets blocked and overflowing, bed bugs and we heard some families got head lice), poor quality food, appalling standard of kitchen procedures and contaminated food (kitchen staff sneezing all over our food). Staff not very friendly as... More

We stayed for one week in April with 2 kids aged 6yo and 8yo. What's great: I'll start with the biggest positive - the snorkeling is just amazing. The reef is easily accessed from the beach, however if you swim further out (past the second pontoon - even as far as the round white buoy) you are rewarded with amazing... More

Hideaway offers very good snorkeling right off the beach. I counted about 25 species of butterfly fish in my very first first swim. There is also a spectacular 9 square meter anemone bed with about 40 clown fish ("Nemo") (3 or 4 species of both anemone and fish). Lots of bright health coral sufficiently shallow at low tides to really... More
