This was our first holiday in Vanuatu so was unsure what to expect. Before we left Brisbane, Bessie the Manager from Fatumaru Lodge had emailed to enquire about transfers from the airport to the accommodation - this was the beginning of our wonderful stay, we already felt welcomed and catered for. We were cheerfully and warmly greeted by all of the staff on arrival and shown directly to our beachside apartment, when we opened the French doors to the view it was breathtaking.

Hideaway is like a home away from home to me. I have now stayed there ten times over the past thirteen years. It is one of the few holiday destinations that I find totally relaxing. Hideaway Time is my time!

Loved everything about our stay! We only had five nights. Wish it had been more. Anne, Petter and staff were so welcoming and the care and small touches make it a special place. I did my PADI recertification while I was there. So pleased to be back diving again. If you want wonderful snorkelling straight off the beach, home-cooked meals using fresh local produce, an intimate setting, clean, spacious and comfortable accommodation and a chance to experience the real Vanuatu this is the place for...

had a wonderful 6 nights at Nasama Resort. The room was more than adequate for the two of us as well as our two children. The children loved collecting shells and coral off the beach every morning, and had a great time in the kids pool. The added kitchen was a bonus, we got fruit and vegetables every second day at the market in town so no need to go out and spend money on breakfast and lunch. The staff were wonderful with us and especially the children. The snorkeling off the reef was great, our...

I stayed at Breakas with my partner for 5 lovely nights which unfortunately came to an end but we left knowing that we'll definitely be back.
On arrival we were impressed to be greeted with a drink and locally made shell necklace before being shown to our beachfront Fare. We were in Fare 5 which was right next to the restaurant so had some trepidation that we may be kept awake by noisy diners but that wasn't a problem at all. As Breakas doesn't allow kids we found that everyone was there for...

My family (2 adults, 2 kids) stayed at Erakor Island for 8 nights in January 2023. The resort is on its own island, which is a 5 minute free ferry ride from the jetty in Efate, which itself is about a 15 minute bus ride from the centre of Port Vila.
The island is stunningly beautiful, with crystal blue waters surrounding the coconut and palm jungle. The resort is very low scale and laid back - accommodation is in a series of detached buildings scattered around the island, with shared...

Just got back from a 5 night stay for our honeymoon. Couldn't fault our visit. The grounds and room were immaculate. Staff were amazing. Special mention to John Paul who looked after us so well. Highly recommend the day spa and the beach side massages. Try out the pizzas by the pool - divine. Intend on coming back next time with the kids!

My partner and I stayed at Cocomo from the 2nd to the 8th of November and couldn't be happier with our stay. For starters, we were upgraded to the waterfront villa due to small construction taking place at the pool deck. The hotel staff were incredibly welcoming, helpful and always happy to field any questions we had. The restaurant was also a major hit as my coeliac / gluten free girlfriend was well looked after by the chef. The manager felix was great with helping me book all our tours...

We stayed here before moving onto a resort, however Pacific Lagoon Apartments was half the cost of the resort and my family agrees we liked it better.
The reasons we liked it was everything was there, you can kayak across the lagoon to an expensive resort and hang out there for the day, snorkel in the lagoon, catch a ride into town with a local cheaply.

Good location out of town but not too far. Amazing scenery. Fantastic, friendly and very helpful staff. On humid nights the ceiling fans didn’t cool the rooms enough but most nights were fine. Bed was a bit uncomfortable and wifi didn’t reach our room but was excellent in the restaurant.
