Top Port Vila Hotel Reviews
Fatumaru Lodge Port Vila
"We absolutely loved our stay at Fatumaru Lodge. The waterfront location is just beautiful. Waking up, looking out across the open water and enjoying the peaceful serenity was exactly what we needed. The beds were so comfortable, the hot showers were amazing, and the staff were always friendly and helpful. What we loved most was being able to head out and enjoy the busyness of Port Vila, then come back to this beautiful little quiet space by the water and completely unwind. Such a peaceful place to stay and one we would happily come back to."
Iririki Island Resort & Spa
"Breakfast was excellent and we really enjoyed the Pickleball"
Breakas Beach Resort - Adults only
"A lovely place to stay although wi-fi was a problem (only available in the pain building). The staff are absolutly fabulious although we were very sad to hear they are paid poorly, minimum wages, (very meagre) while we were paying full western prices for accomodation & food."
Lagoon Gardens
"The room was clean and spacious and breakfast was included , it was located a bit out of town with not that many dining options nearby but it was easy enough to catch a bus in to town if you needed to"
The Melanesian Port Vila Hotel
"We had a great stay and super impressed by the attentive staff and spotless clean all of the time. Only one thing we'd have liked was a hot meat selection included with breakfast."
Erakor Island Resort & Spa
"This was amazing From the intro from Sarah right through our 3 night stay including meals and especially the steak this was the best of the three resorts we stayed at in Vanuatu We will come back nxt year and will probably just stay here Thank you all Jim And Veronica"
Kaiviti Motel
"amazing views of the harbor if you get a room toward it"
Warwick Le Lagon - Vanuatu
"We were a couple in our 50โs. We had a lagoon view villa, the room was clean, a bit dated. Had a safe, decent water pressure in the shower and a bath. The toilet door did not close and had no lock, weird but a non issue for us. Would have been nice to have wine glasses and bottle opener, maybe a plate and a knife so we could enjoy snack on our deck. But we made do. Has a swim up bar and a few pools. They looked nice but too many screaming kids, we felt should not have been allowed in the bar area. Buffet dinner $35 each was pretty good, lots of variety and themed nights. Buffet breakfast was free with the room, also very good. Enjoyed the fire show. There is a gym and kayaks, snorkelling is great. Take water shoes, you donโt want to step on the starfish or sea cucumber or sea snakes. It would have been nice to have a buggy service to the front gate, itโs far to walk in the heat. The staff were a mixture of helpful and rude. Most appeared to not enjoy their job and a simple request was too much trouble. The property is huge and is great for families and golfers. But not if you would prefer a smaller more intimate location. We enjoyed our stay but would not stay again. 7/10"
Coconut Palms Resort & Diamond Casino
"The hotel is clean, comfortable and a great location. All the staff are amaxingly friendly and helpfull. The pool was great. There is no restrant but it is only a short walk to some food outlets and a supermarket."
