Overall Ratings

Imagination Island Resort is an exciting new Eco Resort on a privately owned coral fringed island in Gizo Lagoon in the Solomon Islands. This exclusive property is located directly on the white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters of the coral reef. Perfect for snorkelling, kayaking, scuba diving, fishing, SUP boarding and surfing. Great for couples and families wanting a quiet getaway with only a small number of guests at any one time. We offer free pick up from Gizo and can arrange day trips to local diving, fishing and hiking hot spots. All rooms include great ocean views. Imagine it!

Reviewed By kobusm2020Stayed at imagination island with my family over Christmas for over a week and wished we had stayed longer service from alphonsus and his staff was almost as awesome as the crayfish and fruit plators. Also some of the best snorkeling and diving spots I've ever seen will definitely return
2. Fatboys Resort
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 171 reviews
"Fatboys" is derived from the character "Joe" from the book "The Pickwick Papers" by Charles Dickens. Joe-the “fat boy” consumes great quantities of food and constantly falls asleep in any situation at any time of the day; the Fatboys life revolves around drinking, eating, sleeping and making every conceivable effort to avoid work. Whilst at Fatboys Resort the customer becomes "Joe the Fatboy". Enjoy an ice cold bevy, a plate of fresh crayfish pan-fried in lime juice and butter, a game of pool, or simply kick back and be mesmerized by the myriad of tropical fish swimming underneath you. But being closly related to the writings of Dickens, there are of course many adventures to be had. Fatboys Resort, Bar & Restaurant is situated 100 metres out atop the crystal clear waters of Babanga island. A 10-minute boat ride from the airport and 15 minutes from Gizo, the provincial capital of the Western Solomons. We have 6 bungalows that offer you with spectacular views of an early morning sunrise watched straight from your bungalow.

Relaxing long weekend
Reviewed By smithyronnyWe stayed in one of the bungalows and it was clean and spacious. The staff looked after us very well. We dined on freshly caught seafood everyday and Manu was kind enough to arrange for some to bring back to Honiara with us! The staff booked a day trip for us to skull island which was amazing. Our only complaint was there were 3 of us and only 2 hammocks to relax in!
3. Evis Resort at Nggatirana Island
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 23 reviews
Evis Resort on Nggatirana Island is the newest resort in the Western Province. We offer a high standard of comfort together with great views on this private island. The Sunset Restaurant overlooks the lagoon and our Boat Bar stocks a good selection of hand picked wines and beers. One of the premium beachfront bungalows is disabled friendly with extra wide 900mm doors, high level electric sockets and flat bridge access to our central unit with houses the restaurant, bar and shop. This disabled friendly unit also offers ramp access to a beachhead boardwalk. The island is a designated nature conservation area and off the beach snorkeling along our 200 m coral 'farm' is a must with a wide variety of corals and reef fish. We can organise days out to the many spectacular places within easy reach in the lagoon and along the coast of South Vangunu. Dive school opens early 2017.
Relaxing Secluded Hideaway
Reviewed By Alida CWe stayed here for 4 days when visiting the Western Province and found the island a perfect place for quiet and relaxation. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the meals were varied and sumptuous. Our room was modern and from the balcony we could watch small and large vessels going past. We swam from the small beach and visited the village of Halisi on the main island across the water. We enjoyed the walk around the island and relaxing on our balcony enjoying the views. The island as in many places in the Solomon Islands has limited power, but we were able to charge our phones and the absence of hot water was not an issue given the daily temperatures and humidity! We enjoyed our stay, especially the friendliness of the staff who made us welcome and the experience of this lovely environment.
4. Rekona Lodge
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 38 reviews
Rekona lodge is a popular accommodation in Gizo. Friendly staff and a great base from which to explore and enjoy your holiday.
Loved my stay!
Reviewed By amyelisab3I stayed with Rekona on a prolonged trip to Gizo working at the nearby hospital. The lodge was ideal - close to the market, waterfront, shops, and only a short walk into the hospital each morning. All of the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The rooms were kept beautifully clean. The shared kitchen was very well equipped. I stayed in the lower level of the Island Wing, the rooms had a fridge, kettle, en suite with hot water, air con, and a fan. I found I was easily able to keep cool! WiFi was also available for free in the reception - considering that WiFi is patchy on the island, a major advantage! I would definitely recommend staying here!! Thank you for a wonderful stay.
