Delightful, Friendly, convenient and very charming. Pool is great for a little am swim. Nice breakfast. We walked down the road last night for a delicious pizza and Tusker beer. Will return. What's not to love here. Balconies have gorgeous view.

Wonderful place to stay. The room was very clean and maintained during our entire stay. We had the beachside view and it was absolutely beautiful to be so close to the water. Thank you for a spectacular stay.

Great location and clean and tidy rooms, but the resort itself is a little run down and could use a refresh.

Friendly welcoming helpful staff, clean room, great breakfast. Very central
Clean room, exceptionally kind and professional staff, thoroughly enjoyed the scenic property and available paddle boards and kayaks. We loved watching the little tropical fishies from our deck and the distant sounds of kids playing and laughing at the park across the water during the later day. :)
I had a very nice stay here! My room was super clean and comfortable and the property was filled with things to do and near the city center. Probably the best place I stayed at while in Port Vila!
Very nice stay. Good wifi. Friendly and helpful reception team that helped me organise the activities I wanted. Nice that you can take hotel’s paddle boards and kayaks around the bay!
Beautiful rooms right on the water equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Loved that they have kayaks available to use at your leisure. Very friendly staff.

Damaged a little bit by earthquake in December, but very friendly and convenient location
We loved staying at the Fatumaru Lodge! It is clean; staff is friendly; and location is beautiful. Our flight was delayed to Port Villa and the hotel was understanding/checked us in late. They also helped us schedule transportation to/from the airport. We cannot wait to visit again!
It was lovely to be able to have a morning swim in the lagoon each day. An easy walk into town and multiple waterside restaurants and bars.
The hotel is a great compromise of being just far enough out of town to be quiet, but still walkable.
Fatumaru Lodge exceeded our expectations! it is tucked away in a quite area off the main road, walking distance to the local shops, cafes, markets and other Port Vila must see's. The staff were always friendly, accommodating, and made us feel very at home. The resort is getting constant upgrades and you can tell a lot of work has been put into it and continues to - what was surprising was the lush and well maintained gardens around the resort - so lovely, and it was so tidy - and our view was next level, we had such a great stay and made some great memories, thank you!

We absolutely loved our stay at Fatumaru Lodge—a perfect base for our family holiday in Vanuatu.
The room was spacious and well-equipped, with cooking facilities, a proper fridge and freezer (a big plus with kids!), and plenty of room to relax.
The view from our room was stunning—sparkling water by day, beautiful sunsets from the sundeck by night. It was peaceful, picturesque, and felt like our own slice of paradise.
It’s also in a super convenient location—an easy walk to local cafes and restaurants, with a bus stop right outside if you want to head into town.
Friendly staff, a relaxing vibe, and everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We’d absolutely recommend Fatumaru Lodge to any family visiting Port Vila!
Great stay. Easy check in and out. Staff friendly and helpful. Well equiped room with beautiful view to lagoon. Close enough to walk into town for meals, but room is set up for self catering also. Only stayed overnight prior to flying home the next day and is convenient to airport.
Resort was happy for us to check in a little earlier and also check out a bit later

The reception staff is friendly. The parking is limited but OK if other guest don't all have cars. The rooms have been re-done, a bit local style (i.e. not very well but enough for cosmetic pictures to look good on the reservation sites). View is nice. If you open the wooden louvers (only way to get light in the room), there no screens on the window (all bugs come in). The water pressure in the shower is very low. The toilet seat was half attached. The fuse box of the electric system was worringly wired with cables going every which way. The bed is comfy, the bedding good. There is no cable TV. The wifi speeds are horrendous, can't even load youtube videos in lowest format without interruptions until all guests are out of their rooms.
Beautiful setting. Rooms overlook the water's edge, with a hammock on the little beach, next to a trickling stream. The pool is lovely and was kept clean. Breakfast was a delight. The bed was extremely comfortable. Staff lovely. Excellent!
We had a one night stay before heading to an island. Staff were very accommodating and helpful with transfers. We liked our room with a water view - very comfortable. The pool was great. We had a rate with breakfast which was ok but croissants were burnt.
