Australia - New Zealand and the South Pacific Adults Only Holidays

Way overrated considering other options like Thailand and Fiji. Very expensive food. No wifi in rooms, only wifi around the lobby. Access to rooms is via paths of sand so wheelie bags have to be carried by porter or lifted from the ground yourself. The room is a great size and charming with mosquito net over the bed which is comfortable, and bathroom open to the elements... if you have a shower when it is raining you get wet before you turn on the shower. Controlling hot water temperature is fiddly but the water pressure is good. Full of bugs so an ecological experience. The included breakfast buffet is adequate... cereal, bread, fruit (surprisingly no bananas or papaya today but apparently they ran out by 8am), pastries, cake, coffee, tea. And you can order bacon and eggs at an extra charge. The staff are friendly and warm and in the most part really try, and are lovely but sometimes inefficient... forgetting orders, slow in replenishing empty bowls, resetting tables once people have finished, organising airport shuttles. The beach looks nice but lots of rocks and broken coral on the shore so painful walking without reef shoes (a must!). You can easily catch a mini bus to Port Vila CBD for 150 vatu each way. Knowing that Covid has struck hard, with a cyclone and earthquake to boot, it's hard not to feel sorry for the locals and it feels good helping out by being part of the tourism boost so desperately needed. Probably wouldn't visit again but glad I did.

My wife and ai have been all over the world at some of the best hotels and resorts, this is our top #1 anniversary trip we’ve ever taken! The service, the food, the atmosphere…all 5 stars all epic and we’ll be coming back! Absolutely incredible!

This was one of the best properties that I have stayed at. Pool was lovely, clean tidy apartment really well maintained and operated property. Helpful reception team. Room was comfortable, clean, well set up. Parking was easy and secure under the building. Right in the centre of town walking distance to all amenities and the beach. My only tiny negative was the road noise. Port Douglas is a great place to stay and this property is a great place to have a relaxing holiday.

Amazing hotel Beautiful location Slice of paradise

Quiet rustic luxury. Rooms are thatched roof bures. It is winter here in July, so it is cool (60’s) at night. No rain as it is dry season.

Beyond our best expectations. Staff were amazing - they went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. It was a very quiet, small boutique resort - very decent sized pool. Would absolutely staff again.

The staff were all absolutely fabulous, there was nothing they wouldn't do for us. The room we had was the premium beach front bungalow, plenty of room for 3 people. The reastraunt had plenty of choice's on the menu for food and drinks. The one thing that made it pleasant was that the staff new your names which makes it more personal. The only down side was the prices of the wine which I found to be quite expensive. Overall a fantastic resort to stay and relax at.

Absolutely fantastic stay! The staff are friendly and helpful - great customer service! The bungalows are well setup and the lagoon view and private pool just took it to the next level, definitely worth it. The resort restaurant has a great range for each meal and the cocktails fit the vibe perfectly. Highly recommend staying at Mangoes - 12/10!
