Vanuatu Beach 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.

The staff are simply beautiful. All amenities are reflected accordingly in their description. New cabins being built which will be exciting for people travelling there shortly. Chef John is awesome! You MUST have his croissants for breakfast. Make sure to pat ‘Lucky’ the cat, he is adorable

The staff were so welcoming. Our garden house was clean and comfortable. Great stay, thank you.

Loved the spacious bungalow accommodation with lots of amenities. Located right next to reef with great snorkelling opportunities. Caroline & Damien were very welcoming & are willing to help with booking excursions. Only set back - lack of transport on the remote roads so bring some food & snacks. Bungalows have kitchen facilities & BBQs are available. Food in the on-site Birdies Kitchen & Bar was very good.

Very good sleep comfort...mattress and pillows. Great breakfast menu and other dining options. Friendly reception, office, housekeeping and maintenance staff. Also management Any problems were resolved quickly. Like to return in 2026.

We loved our room that had an excellent view from the balcony overlooking the Lagoon. The bed was comfy, the A/C was clean and quite, the shower was good, and we loved having a fully kitted kitchen in the room with, fridge, gas hob, microwave, kettle, toaster, pots, pans, cutlery, cups & plates. The breakfast was very good too, which included toast, croissants, yoghurts, fruit, cereals, tea, coffee, juice, milk, jam, butter & marmalade, and was brought to the room by the lovely staff at about 8am every morning. The cleaning staff, especially Rachel, were an absolute delight, and kept the room nice, clean and tidy every day.
