Located on the small and very beautiful Ghizo Island, The Gizo hotel is the premier accommodation in the Solomon Islands. Located near the famous surrounding harbour and containing its own private jetty, the hotel has a total of 45 rooms ranging from standard, poolside, and Seaview settings. The hotel contains a popular restaurant and bar, dive shop, tour desk, gift shop, and saltwater swimming pool.

All rooms in the Gizo Hotel have private bathrooms, ceiling fans, refrigerators, tea and coffee-making facilities, and IDD telephones. The newer poolside and seaview rooms also have balconies and air-conditioning.

The seaview rooms have a splendid view of the harbour, Logha Island close by, the airport island of Nusatupe, and the 5,800 ft (1770 m) extinct volcano of Kolombangara Island looming in the distance.

For those staying at the Gizo Hotel, the quiet little town of Gizo is surrounded by hundreds of palm tree studded islands ringed by coral reef and clear blue seas. The area is a great base to explore the Solomon Islands, and undertake most types of adventure trips.

Amongst the plethora of activities that are available, the main attraction to stay at the Gizo Hotel is the scuba diving. The diving around Gizo ranges from peaceful shallow lagoons and fringing reefs, dramatic vertical walls and drop-offs, to intriguing sunken war wrecks such as the world famous Toa Maru. All of the diving expeditions are available from the dive shop in the hotel, with courses and equipment for rent.

To compliment the diving guests staying at the Giza Hotel, can undertake many of the various activities that are offered including sport fishing, island tours, romantic picnics on deserted islets, nature hikes, cultural tours, or rent a sea kayak and explore the beautiful tropical surroundings.

There are several small islands nearby that can be quickly reached by motor canoe where visitors can experience the local culture. The more adventurous can travel the 30 km to Simbo Island where there are archaeological sites, skull houses, petroglyphs, tuna-worship shrines, megapode bird hatcheries, thermal areas and a sulphur lake.
