Port Vila

10/10 Excellent

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...

Erakor Island Resort & Spa

Port Vila

10/10 Excellent

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...

Fatumaru Lodge Port Vila

Port Vila

10/10 Excellent

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. It was great having...

Nasama Resort

10/10 Excellent

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...

Mangoes Resort

Port Vila

10/10 Excellent

The Mangoes resort exceeded our expectations for our 5 night stay in Port Vila. The grounds were lovely, the bungalows very well kept, the views were amazing, and the staff were always very helpful. The dining was very good quality and at a reasonable price. Mangoes is situated far enough away from the loud and busy main town centre to be quiet at night, yet close enough to walk easily to shops and other restaurants. All the bus drivers know the resort and because it's still in the township of...

10/10 Excellent

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...

As a couple who have spent most of their lives travelling for both work and pleasure, we know a great hotel when we see one. Great staff providing great service - well above and beyond - particularly Monith Kumar on the night of the storm. Beach bar close - great Thai restaurant just up the hill and a very relaxed feel. Loved the rooftop kitchen/bar which provides a view that is unsurpassed. Monith’s curries cannot be missed….To quote a very famous actor…. “We will be Back!”

We had a fantastic stay at this resort and we were very happy.Sorry to have a complaint as all the staff at the resort were amazing however, when we had checked out at reception we were waiting around at the reception area as we were quite early to be leaving the resort for the airport. We decided to have one last drink before taking a taxi from the resort car park just 30 meters away, after about 20 or so minutes a local bus arrived to drop a guest off and I was able to ask him if he would take...

Poppys On The Lagoon

Port Vila

Poppy's was an excellent choice for a long (8 night) stay in Port Vila. It was perfectly situated away from the hustle and bustle of the main street, yet still an easy 10 or so minute walk away. With complimentary kayaks and snorkelling gear for use in the lagoon it was on. The staff were also extremely attentive and lovely, and always greeted you with a smile and asked about your day. The resort also thought of all the little details to make a stay enjoyable - reef shoes, pool towels, umbrellas...

We stayed here for 8 nights and found it to be very clean with friendly and helpful staff, It is only 5 minutes walk to town with some rooms overlooking the harbour, so you can watch the cruise ships come and go. The breakfast is basic but satisfying. The pool is huge and a perfect temperature. The rooms are a good size and the beds very comfortable. We had an aircon room which made things a bit more comfortable at night. Most people staying there seemed to be business people which meant a lack...
