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

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.

island resort comfort

Everyone was so welcoming and helpful. We stayed 6 nights in total and absolutely loved it. The food was delicious and the pool was so wonderful to swim in. We could borrow kayaks from the resort and kayak on the river too. So much fun and so relaxing. Thank you for a wonderful stay :-)

A smaller quiet resort that suits me. The meals were homely and delicious. Staff very friendly and obliging. It is probably older since the webpage photos but I found my stay pleasant and comfortable.

Beautiful property and view of the bay. Well maintained and very comfortable apartments. Best of all, the staff are very kind and helpful.
