A lovely boutique hotel with a fantastic view of the lagoon. I staff were very professional and lovely how they interested with guests. It was a truly relaxing stay. However, the best part was the food. Thank you to the chef, I had the best fillet of fish, perfectly prepared, beautiful presented that I have had ever. Thank you Kim for the music selection, oldies but goldies.

Travelling to Vanuatu to assist the Luganville Dental Hospital on Santo, my patron arranged for me to stay at Decco Stop. A strange name, I thought. All was reviled latter in my stay. The property and meals were great, as were all the staff. The owners, Kim and Ben were very welcoming and made for a very pleasant stay. Not to mention the view. Highly recommended.

the room rate booked was with a sealing fun. Since the room was so hot I asked to use an air-conditioner by topping up another 2,000 Vatu. Distant view is very good, but the foreground is not admired, next of road and houses, and noisy. Beef pie was so good.

A nice place to relax.

I keep going back to Deco Stop, when I have to spend a night in transit at Luganville, because it is reliably a comfortable, convenient, helpful, friendly, relaxing place to stay. I love being up above the chaos of town, but it's a pleasant 7 minute walk into town.

Ideal location set high to enjoy views over the bay and catch the breeze. Only 12 rooms so it felt personal and private. Nice grounds. Staff are excellent. Easy walk down to the town of Luganville, but get a taxi back up the hill! (Only about Aus $2)

Deco Stop is the place to be.

Deco Stop is a great place to stay, in Luganville. It's only a five minute walk down to the main street, but it's far enough away, to be quiet and peaceful. I love the pool and the restaurant, which makes impressively delicious food, of a very high standard. And the complimentary breakfast goes a long way! The bar also attracts interesting expats and travellers, on a Friday night. This is the 2nd time I've stayed at Deco Stop, and I'm going back for a third time. All the staff were wonderful to me, and were very understanding and helpful. With Ben and Kim (the owners) being Australian expats, I felt very much at home. They all went out of their way, to make my time in Santo, enjoyable and relaxing. I love the spacious, private garden, too.

Nice place and great views as it is up a hill overlooking the channel and some other small islands. I was travelling with my son and in hind site should have booked into a beach front place as there was not much for him to do close by.

Deco Stop was well kept and in a good location with a view over the water. The staff were wonderfully friendly and always willing to help. Coming back to Deco Stop after adventuring each day felt like paradise. Great vibes. There is a bar a restaurant with great quality food, so you don't have to leave if you don't want to.

Nice but don’t believe the website

The place was generally pleasant, and had nice views. However, the hotel website is very much out of date. There was no table tennis table or tv room - one of the reasons we booked so the non-divers has something to do on site. Lunch stops being served promptly at 2pm, and the hotel couldn’t offer anything other than a bowl of chips from 2pm-6pm, which is somewhat inconvenient when you’ve finished diving later if you’re on boat dives, as there’s nothing else nearby (town is about a 20 minute walk) Another tip - the hotel offers Airport pick ups at Vt800 per person. Bear in mind that unless you’re a solo traveller it might be better to pick up a taxi at the airport as they charge fixed price of Vt1,000. There are plenty of taxis driving past the gates too for the return trip, and easy to stop one the day before and book the return journey
