Family Bungalow vs Triple Share: Which Room Is Right for You?

Booking a room at Coral Quays Resort usually comes down to one question. Are you travelling with family, or with a small group of friends?

Two of our most popular bungalows, the Family Bungalow and the Triple Share, were built with exactly those two situations in mind. Both sit within our tropical gardens in Espiritu Santo. Both include daily breakfast, air conditioning, and access to every resort facility.

The difference comes down to bedding, guest capacity, and who you are travelling with. This guide breaks it down so you can book the right room the first time.

A Quick Look at Both Rooms

Before we go further, here is a simple side by side view.

Both rooms share the same footprint and the same resort inclusions. The bedding setup is where they part ways.

What Makes the Family Bungalow Different

The Family Bungalow was designed around one goal. Give parents their own space while the kids sleep close by.

Here is what you get inside:

  1. One queen bed for the adults
  2. King single bunk beds for the children
  3. A private bungalow set within the resort gardens
  4. Air conditioning, ceiling fan, and a bar fridge

This layout works well because it separates the adult sleeping area from the kids’ bunks, without splitting the family into two rooms. Everyone stays together, but nobody has to share a mattress.

Who Should Book the Family Bungalow

This room suits you if:

  • You are travelling with one or two children
  • You want the whole family under one roof
  • You value privacy but still want everyone close by
  • You are looking for one of the more family friendly stays in Santo

Families also get free continental breakfast each morning, with a cooked breakfast available from the restaurant at half price. Our tour desk can help you plan family friendly outings, including Champagne Beach, blue hole swimming, and gentle village tours.

What Makes the Triple Share Different

The Triple Share solves a different problem. It gives three travelers a private bungalow without the cost of booking two separate rooms.

Here is the setup:

  1. Three king single beds, one for each guest
  2. Equal sleeping space for everyone in the group
  3. The same air conditioning, bar fridge, and daily housekeeping as our other rooms
  4. Full access to the pool, restaurant, and daily Luganville shuttle

Since each guest gets their own bed, this room works well for people who want to travel together without sharing a mattress.

Who Should Book the Triple Share

This room suits you if:

  • You are travelling with two friends, siblings, or colleagues
  • Everyone in your group wants their own bed
  • You are planning dive trips, wreck exploration, or a trek to Millennium Cave
  • You want a social base to explore Santo together, at a lower nightly rate than the Family Bungalow

Breakfast is included for all three guests, and a cooked breakfast option is available at half price for anyone who wants a heartier start to the day.

Comparing the Two Rooms Feature by Feature

Space and Layout

Both rooms measure 30 square metres. The difference is how that space is used. The Family Bungalow splits the room between a queen bed and bunk beds. The Triple Share spreads three single beds evenly across the same footprint.

Guest Capacity

The Family Bungalow sleeps up to four guests. The Triple Share sleeps three. If your group is exactly three adults with no children, the Triple Share is the more natural fit.

Price Per Night

The Triple Share starts from VUV 18,600 per night. The Family Bungalow starts from VUV 19,600 per night. Both rates include continental breakfast for every guest in the room.

Included Amenities

Guests in either room receive the same standard inclusions:

  • Daily room servicing
  • Premium mattresses and quality linen
  • Beach towels and a hair dryer
  • Soap, shampoo, and conditioner
  • Free Wi-Fi in public resort areas
  • Access to the pool and all resort facilities
  • Daily shuttle service to Luganville

There is no gap in comfort between the two rooms. The only real variables are bed configuration, guest count, and price.

Still Not Sure Which Room Fits?

Here is a quick way to decide.

  1. Travelling with kids? Choose the Family Bungalow.
  2. Travelling as three adults or friends? Choose the Triple Share.
  3. Want the lowest nightly rate? The Triple Share is slightly more affordable.
  4. Need a queen bed for two adults plus room for kids? The Family Bungalow is built for that exact setup.

If your group does not fit neatly into either category, our team is happy to talk through your travel dates and party size. You can also browse our full range of rooms and bungalows to compare against our Superior Queen and Superior Ocean View options.

Why Guests Trust Coral Quays Resort

Coral Quays Resort is a locally run property in Saint Michel, Luganville, on the island of Espiritu Santo. Guests choose to stay and return because of a few consistent reasons.

  • Private bungalow accommodation for every room type
  • Daily shuttle service to and from Luganville town
  • A staffed tour desk that helps plan real experiences, not generic packages
  • Honest, published pricing with no hidden surprises at check in
  • Clean, well maintained rooms with daily housekeeping
  • A team that genuinely knows the island and its guests by name

One family traveller shared that the pool area felt safe for their kids, the rooms were spacious enough for the whole family, and the team recommended great snorkelling spots nearby. That kind of feedback is common across both our family and group stays.
