"Absolutely stunning jungle/ river property, lush and green. The large house is very spacious. It was comfortable in the July weather. Plenty of room and beds for our family of 6. Property is off grid so some issues with hot water that were rectified. We’re told we would have daily house keeping, which didn’t happen once, but we were ok with the washing machine. If we had asked, I’m sure it would have been provided. Accessing the tours and using the river was a highlight for our family. - no fly...

Lagoon Gardens

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed here for one week, and really loved my experience! The place has a really homey feel and is surrounded by pretty tropical walkways with flowers. Next door there is a large supermarket and small Chinese takeout. There is also a bus stop which you can easily catch a local bus to town or anywhere nearby! The breakfast was definitely a highlight! Pancakes, toast, tea, coffee and a selection of spreads and fruits while overlooking the beautiful lagoon! The owners and staff are all lovely and friendly, and there is a cute dog called Rocky who comes up for pats 😊 The only thing is that the place is far from any beaches and alot of food options, but it is easy to catch a bus. Thankyou for the stay 🙂"

Iririki Island Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Loved our stay at Iririki Resort, beautiful setting, accommodations were comfortable and property was well kept. Staff were wonderful and worked hard to ensure we had all we needed and always smiled and extremely helpful. Highly recommend and would love to return for a visit someday... Thank you for a memorable week - food was excellent with multiple choices and a varied menu. Would only ask if at all possible to have more chaise lounges around the infinity pool - it was impossible to snag one during our stay as they were always occupied and not enough."

Nasama Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Room was exactly as advertised. Our oceanfront room was spacious and clean. The balcony was large and had amazing views. The cleaning staff were friendly and kind. The restaurants on site did great food and easily catered for our dairy allergy. The pool was cold, but the seawater was lovely. Front desk staff weren't super helpful with giving us info on snorkelling spots and how to get there. Front desk staff did sort us out with horseriding which was great. I would stay here again."

Holiday Inn Resort Vanuatu by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel. Excellent location. Excellent service. However, it is expensive. Buffet was pricey. Breakfast was pricey. Dinner was pricey. Rooms were pricey."

The Moso Vanuatu

8/10 Good

"The staff were absolutely amazing. Friendly, helpful, and exceptionally personable. I honestly couldn't speak more highly of them.The resort itself was stunning. The location was fantastic, with an easy walk across to the other side of the island where you'll find the most beautiful beach. We stayed in a hilltop villa, and the views from our room were breathtaking. It was the perfect place to disconnect, unwind, and escape from everyday life.The only reason for my slightly lower rating was the food. While it was delicious and well prepared, it wasn't quite what I had hoped for. I was looking forward to enjoying more traditional local cuisine, with an abundance of fresh fruit, vegetables, fish, and seafood. Instead, the menu felt quite Westernised. I'm sure there are reasons for this, but for me, one of the highlights I was anticipating was experiencing more of the local, fresh produce and flavours."

The Melanesian Port Vila Hotel

8/10 Good

"Arranging airport transfers via Expedia’s messaging portal was a failure. Hotel quoted a price via the portal that I confirmed, but no one showed up at the airport. Had to pay much more for a taxi. Hotel staff didn’t have an explanation as to why the transfer wasn’t scheduled. At check in I requested a return transfer be scheduled on my departure day. They took my flight info and said to just confirm it the day before. When I went the day before to confirm they had no record of my request. The rooms are comfortable. Soap and shampoo supplied. Had a full kitchen but didn’t use it. The pools look well kept with plenty of seats but some of the walkways going to the rooms are in need of repair. Overall location is good. A short 10-15 minute walk to downtown waterfront restaurants and public market. They have an on-site Italian restaurant, Casa Mia. Waitress said I could sit anywhere but after doing so and getting comfortable, napkin on my lap, was then asked if I could move to a different table. They shouldn’t tell someone they can sit anywhere if they don’t mean it. That said, the food was delicious."

Le Life Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Lelife is set in beautiful gardens next to the sea. I stayed in a tent that was well set out. There was a kitchen that could do with more utensils etc. The shower was hot and clean. The food in the restaurant was very good. The staff were very friendly. I really enjoyed my stay at Llife."

Grand Hotel and Casino

10/10 Excellent

"The property was amazing has everything that we needed the fine dinning the bar the casino and was close to everything just a walking distance only down fall was that people was smoking inside the casino it was a shocking for us cause in Brisbane no one allow to smoke inside the games area only outside at a smoke area Otherwise we had the best time Thank you Grand Cadion for your awesome service"
