The Melanesian Port Vila ★★★

"As a travel blogger I need to give this hotel a detailed review. Advantages: 1. The location is relatively good, relatively close to the town and major supermarkets 2 The facilities in the house are quite complete, including refrigerator, washing machine and kitchen utensils. Disadvantages: 1. Because the flight was delayed by 1 day, our application to cancel 1 day's accommodation 2 days in advance was rejected. However, when we arrived at the hotel one day later, the hotel had not yet prepared the room and bed for us. After many reminders, we were arranged with another bed as stated in the reservation. 2. The hotel room was not prepared with shower gel and shampoo in advance. They were not placed until I was reminded. The hot water took more than 5 seconds longer than the standard hotel time, and even took 20-30 seconds to get hot water. The shower head was also damaged. 3 We were placed in a room far from the hotel entrance. There was a small door to the room, but we asked many times and no one was willing to give us the password. 4. The wifi is the worst network in the world that I have lived in for so many years. The connection password needs to be changed every day. The Grand Hotel also uses the connection password but it can last until we check out. The network of Sailor Apartment is also very good."

Lagoon Gardens ★★★

"The owner and reception staff were very kind. Our Mount Yasur Volcano tour was canceled, but they called various tour companies from the morning. In the end, none of the companies had any vacancies that day, so we couldn't go, but they told us about other spots and how to get there, so we ended up having a fulfilling trip."

"Tucked away near Pango point, South Pacific Memories was a wonderful surprise. The location and grounds are stunning, especially in the afternoon and evening. Petter and Anne are consummate hosts, great chefs, and serious divemasters. We can't wait for an excuse to go back."

Nasama Resort ★★★★

📍 Pango Rd, Port Vila

"Nice to have beach and pool access. Would've been nice to have a bath by the pool even if just the afternoons. Lots of choice for breakfast and big portions. Also got a welcome drink which was nice. A little way out of town if you wanted to explore and didnt have a car but local buses going past all the time"

Coco Beach Resort

"I’ve just been reading some other reviews before I began and I’m struggling to understand some of the negative comments. Coco Beach was on our short list because it very clearly advertises as Adults Only. Travelling in off season meant the resort was at low capacity which was incredibly peaceful for those of us there to unwind and relax which is precisely what we were able to do over 7 glorious days. This is an older style resort and based on our research - exactly what we expected. No organised activities, No Day Spa, No noise, Nothing nearby except another beach. Fresh simple food done well. Cold drinks and unassuming hosts who will do what they can to assist you - when you are polite. Fresh, clean bures with old style coral walls in the bathrooms. We chose a room with air-con due to the time of year. Rooms are serviced daily. Beds are comfy and linen is fresh and crisp although some pillows could do with an update. Our days were spent between the open air waterfront restaurant, which could do with some fans, loungers under a tree on the beach, the pool and the sea. Entire grounds are immaculate beautiful tropical gardens and swept daily. Incredible swimming at all tides due to a canal through the reef to allow boat access and plentiful sea life on and around the reef when snorkelling. We took our own gear because it was to be a main activity of our holiday and this wasn’t our first island trip. You never get decent gear in resorts. We took the water taxi to town one day and the trip on the bay was a little tour in itself. Even detoured to ferry some local school kids across the inlet on the way home. Another day we arranged a local bus driver to take us to Blue Lagoon (where we also snorkelled) and returned via 83 Islands Rum Distillery before lunch in town with our driver at his favourite ramen noodle joint. Picked up some snacks and drinks at the supermarket and that was us. Every FAQ in TA forums will tell you to do this. Back to the resort for the rest of our stay. It has been my experience that it is rare anywhere in the South Pacific Islands to stay at a unique small, peaceful resort that your entire stay will go off without a hitch. Nothing drastic happened and any glitches were dealt with smoothly and effectively. Remember that you are on Island Time and there is absolutely nothing you can or should want to do about it if your hosts are taking care of you. Go with what you DO have not complain about what you don’t. No-one should choose a place like this if they want to be amused. Chill out, relax and enjoy the magnificent sunsets. Or get up early just to sit on the dock and watch a cruise ship come in. Coco Beach truly allowed us to switch off, wind down and re-connect. Thanks to H and the team for your hospitality. Truly loved our time with you. Thank you te mass."

"It was a pleasure to stay at MG Cocomo. The staff were incredibly helpful. Our room was very clean and comfortable. It was very easy to manage the air conditioning.

Fatumaru Lodge

"Lying down to the sound of the waves with my partner, I felt so happy. It's just that the accommodations in Vanuatu are all pretty much the same – rather primitive, but still very beautiful."

Trees and Fishes Private Retreat

"The hotel is about a 40-minute drive from the city center and is not very large. It has its own beach and small pier. Guests can use canoes and SUPs for free; masks need to be rented. It's recommended to rent a car. The hotel charges 7000 VAT for a one-way trip to the city center, and 30,000 VAT for a full day's use with a driver. They don't give room keys; they say it's only for staff and guests, so there's nothing to worry about. Even our room door was difficult to close properly, so we just left it open. The food at the hotel wasn't very good. Breakfast was okay, but the penne pasta we ordered for lunch was extremely salty, and the fish burger for dinner had a bread as hard as a baguette. The pizza was okay, and the fries were good. The scenery is beautiful. We stayed for four nights, but lunch and dinner were the most inconvenient."

The Havannah Vanuatu - Exclusively for Adults

"Oh My!!!! What a wonderful place to stay. The Havannah ticked all the boxes... No Kids!, max 34 guests, extremely quiet, no motorised water sports (no jetski noise etc), a la carte for brekky lunch and dinner included in the room rate. Lots of free watercraft - single and 2 person kayaks, Hobi cat, stand up paddleboards. Also free use of snorkelling gear. The very close coral isn't spectacular, but the staff will advise which way to swim to see the better coral. There were still many very colourful fish to see, and 2 x large (30cm across) anemones just off the beach along with their resident clown fish. If you look carefully, you will often see turtles and dugongs just off the beach. We also saw a pod of dolphins out in the deeper water. For those who like to go fishing, you can book to do just that, and also book other tours, remote picnics, snorkelling etc. The meals at The Havannah are amazing! Every mouthful is a carefully curated taste experience. No seasoning necessary! And there was absolutely nothing we ate where we thought - 'needed a little more' anything. Every morsel was just perfect. The chefs here are very much world class! Every staff member was so very cheerful, helpful, kind and caring. The beach and views are amazing. Waters are crystal clear and often glassy if there is little breeze. We drank many cocktails, spirits etc for 6 nights and the total cost was only just over $300Australian - incredibly good value. The complimentary pickup from the airport took away all stress. They even tell you the evening before what time they will take you the next day to the airport. The road from Port Havannah to Port Vila is not in a good way at present, but you need to remember this is a developing country with not much population and many islands for the government to look after. The bus was aircondioned and comfy - so we just took in the views. We WILL be going back!"

Erakor Island Resort & Spa

"The hotel surroundings are beautiful, and the staff are very welcoming. Although you need to take a ferry to reach the hotel, it's quite convenient, with 24-hour hot water and boat transfers available."

Vanuatu Beachfront Apartments

"It was lovely and relaxing. The staff - Juliet and Jackie to name a few were the loveliest, so helpful and cheerful and the most gorgeous view. Kerrol was also very obliging with a trip around the island and pick up and drop off to the airport and lots of information. The staff also helped celebrate a birthday. They went above and beyond and would definitely recommend."

The Moso

"The Moso was a fabulous quiet adult luxury getaway, only 40 mins from the airport in Efate. The local staff were excellent, so caring and determined to make our holiday special. To relax and enjoy the beautiful island with locals was incredibly special, the food amazing and to operate so sustainably, filtered drinking water and solar power, was an added plus for us."

Eratap Beach Resort

"This is a highly recommended small resort about 30 minutes drive from town. Our accommodation was a spacious two bedroom villa with a grass area larger than my own backyard. We hardly used the air conditioning as fans were usually sufficient to keep the rooms cool. On arrival, we were warmly welcomed by the manager, who accompanies guests to their villa after a friendly chat about the resort. All staff were friendly and happy to help with any matters. A great feature of this resort is the ease of using the facilities. Compared to larger resorts, you don’t need to sign for pool towels or water sports equipment. Just take something, use it for as long as you need and bring it back – so easy. We attempted paddle boarding for fun. They also have kayaks, surfboards, body boards, snorkelling equipment and mountain bikes (with helmets). We often enjoyed a petanque game on the way back to our villa after finishing a pool swim. They also have a good system for checking your daily resort expenses for food so there’s no bill shock or accidental additions on checkout. The food is top quality and fresh with a wide menu selection. The chef and his crew do a very good job for the remote location. There’s a daily bus to take you into town and the two hours before pickup is surprisingly sufficient for shopping and sight seeing. We recommend making the most of the daily resort activities. They have a weekly visit to Eratap village, where a lot of staff live. Other weekly activities include a plantation ‘bush’ walk, a hands on cooking demonstration and a night time fire show."

Le Life Resort

"While I would like to be able to say that despite the impact of the cyclones that damaged their resort they still try to provide a resort experience - we cannot. Furniture in rooms full of borers (borer poo everywhere); not enough amenities in rooms to be able to cook or even make a cup of tea (amenities not clean). Menu was not was represented online (6 months post cyclone) and prices higher. we booked the couples room nearest the restaurant but this was given to another lovely couple (which was fine but just tell us). my partner got significant food poising while there (could only have been from the resort kitchen unfortunately). Drinks menu not great (had to ask staff to put beer in the fridge). There is no Spa - only a bed that is brought to your room (certainly no spa products). Never offered list of activities available. One kayak but had holes in it. Not enough lighting between rooms and the restaurant. expensive shuttle service so make sure you have your own car. Was very windy while we were there but that wasn’t the owners fault :), but just be aware that it’s very exposed. Owners hearts weren’t in the resort. One owner turned up to work in the same food stained shirt on multiple days. The other ran a team building exercise while we were there which closed the restaurant to us (again that’s fine but make us aware). Our driver was lovely! The local staff did try hard and they were the best part of the trip."
