Supervisors and staff were very friendly and accommodating. My flight to port vila cancelled 2 consecutive days but they didn’t charge me and kept rescheduling the room. Lagoon view from our rooms was awesome. They also helped to book taxis whenever I asked for even late evenings.

Our trip was a bit of a roller coaster , but overall we enjoyed our time there .
Highlights , 83 islands distillery tour was awesome . Mele beach bar great food , awesome staff and location and the fire show on Friday nights fantastic . Kids can swim at the beach , have a feed and watch the shoe -A+ . The markets were awesome as usual .
Low lights . We’ve been going to Vanuatu for over 20 yrs , and our recent trip to the cascades saddened us and emptied our wallets .
The current owners havnt maintained the place and the entry fee is extortion . The roads are next level knarly All 3 of our airport transfers were no shows which was disappointing but not the end of the world .
The people of Vanuatu are why we come back every time . They really are the friendliest people on earth .
Special shout out to Gideon and his family from Havanah eco lodge .
They treated us like family and we had a great time over there .

Port Villa is heaven on earth, I have been there 3 times and will always go back, with all the natural disasters this island goes through people are still so friendly and happy all the time, they live a simple life and always have a reason to smile, i strongly advise visiting the locals as it much better than staying in the resorts, the rivers , lagoons and beachs are surreal and its all so clean, the locals will always say hello and help you with anything you need.
There are plenty of taxis to go around, I would stay away from resorts for food and go into town as the resorts are extremely expensive and the town prices are so much cheaper.

Fresh food and souvenir markets were very well maintained.
Fresh food and souvenir markets were very well maintained. Indeed the waterfront esplanade area was attractive apart from the toilets behind the stage set up for MAC festival which had a $1.00 AU entry fee. Our trip on the coral viewing boat was worthwhile. The Museum was a great disappointment especially given the high entry fee and the seeming lack of curatorial care in presenting historical perspectives such as WW2 events and impacts of colonisation.

The local people were great: friendly, helpful and polite.
The local people were great: friendly, helpful and polite. There were good restaurants, particularly the Waterfront Bar and Grill. It was easy to get a taxi or bus on the street, but asking the hotel to get you a taxi may result in a long wait for their preferred driver to arrive.
We heard several stories from disappointed people who booked resorts where there was nothing to do and had ferry charges to get back to the mainland.

This villa is really well located for a short walk to the main street in Port Vila. Upon arrival, there was a note for me directing me to my room with the key in the door so I let myself into my bungalow and then went out to explore. The room was cozy, had a mosquito net and was clean. The a/c was extra so I didn't bother with it and the evening cooled down enough that it wasnt' really needed with the fans on in the bungalow. Pool was clean and refreshing after returning from a wander around town.
I loved this place; it was easily my favourite stay in Vanuatu. The place is brand new, beautiful bathroom and the kitchen had everything I need to cook up fish I caught. Great to relax, lie in a hammock on the balcony overlooking the water. It's got its own pier/jetty where I was able to get picked up for a fishing charter. Colin was really friendly, and helped organise transport not only across to the island but also a shuttle back to the airport after my stay. Only wish I could've stayed longer.
The Mariner is an exceptional property in Port Vila. While it may not have the swim up bar, it has incredible views, beautiful, friendly staff and a comfortable location to town. Lovely reasonably priced restaurants are a stones throw away. The apartment we stayed in is fabulous for families, in that it has two bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen that allowed home cooked meals and a full laundry. The pool was a fun addition.
Chris is very welcoming - he goes above and beyond to accommodate your requirements and is always available.
The unit matched the description - clean and practical 2 bedroom, near the lagoon with a pool for the family.
The outdoors facilities (bbq, comfortable chairs and day beds) were a great bonus.
It is also a 3 min ride to the Erakor Island, which was one of our favorite spots (for half-day trips).
Very good value for money! We stayed 4 nights and were very happy! The bed was super comfortable, large room and a balcony.
Beth is the sweetest. She helped us out when we need to store our luggage for a couple of days, while going to Tanna. She even drove us to the airport!
Located close to the airport close to the highway. A little from the centrum but you can take local busses, easy and cheap.
Amazing service from Peter.
Quite Simple living, homely and clean. Best place to stay on a budget with private rooms and private cooking areas. You sleep and wake up with the sound of the waves. Lots of buses outside for 150 vatu to go to town. Shops, kava bar and restaurant only a couple minutes walking. Safe and friendly area outside the hustle of town. Love pango
Everything was great at Pacific Lagoon apartments, we loved our stay and wish we had stayed longer. The staff were amazing so friendly and knowledgeable about Vanuatu places to go and visit. My son asked a lot of questions and they were happy to answer and spend time with him! Loved the bathroom and the shell feature area it was beautiful!
Lovely lodge in Port Vila. Conveniently located 10 min drive to the airport and 15 min walk to the city center. Nice restaurants nearby. Comfortable apartments with small kitchenette, nicely decorated, sea view apartments have a lovely view over the lagoon. Peaceful and quiet location. Very helpful staff, can recommend activities/tours.
This boutique resort is simply the best. Don’t bother going anywhere else. Come straight here as you will not regret it. Spectacular, beautiful, clean, modern, relaxing, perfect location, genuine warm hosts,5 star meals throughout the day. You will not be disappointed. Definitely worth a return visit.
Everything. All the other good reviews pretty much say it all. The daily activities are a nice touch. Close enough to the main airport to make things easy, but feels like you are in the middle of nowhere. Excellent snorkeling. If the budget allows it, highly recommend the private pool villa option.
easily reachable by local bus from the airport (150 vatu). there are a few supermarkets nearby, Cafe Waves (for breakfast and lunch), a local place to eat cheap and nice food (Le Frangipani Takeaway on Google Map), and a local kava bar. self-contained. able to cook even though we didn't.
Staffs there are so friendly, kind and helpful!! They arranged to make tour company to pick me up and arranged airport transfer for me!! Rosan is one of the amazing staffs there❣️ she cooked breakfast for me and gave me advices to enjoy exploring Port Vila! Was so lovely stay!!
Overall the stay was pleasant, the staff is nice.
Bungalows are fairly basic, but ok if you do not expect high-end luxury of a 5 stars resort; I really liked the outdoor bathroom/showers.
Vanuatu was recently hit by cyclones, businesses are making their best to recover.
Wonderful experience, location, grounds and staff. The owners Mark and Constance are welcoming and have local knowledge to help you enjoy your stay.
I highly recommend this resort for your holiday in Vanuatu..I really can’t say enough about our stay, absolutely perfect
The location made it close to local restaurants. It was quiet, right on the water with great views. It felt like being in Vanuatu with the locals fishing, kids swimming and people laying right out front of our balcony. It was extremely clean. The wifi was very good.
Excellent breakfast selection, we loved the made to order omelettes, although the pastries were a little dry.
Room was a great size, plenty of space and big balcony with lovely view. Easy walk to supermarket, access to buses and Port Vila town (20 mins walk)
Stayed here twice ... its such a peaceful & underrated hotel. Beautiful views and staff were so helpful throughout the stay. Walking distance to town & short drive to the airport.
The owner is kind and generous with her time. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Breakfast is ample and tasty. And the lodge is just a short walk from the airport.
