Like many hotels in Vanuatu, this hotel could use an upgrade. Also there is no disability access and no lift. The rooms are very clean and nice. Unfortunately I was asked to move rooms, and told to wait 4 hours by the pool, and I had a migraine. I ended up leaving and finding another hotel. It would be great if there were lounge chairs by the pool and not just chairs. Book online, otherwise they add a considerable more to the room rate. Everything has become very expensive in Vanuatu, but nothing has been upgraded. Sunday night buffet is well worth it, delicious!!!
We stayed for 12 nights for a special family celebration. 7 adults and 1 child. We had an amazing stay. It is in quite a remote location but is right on the beach which was pretty special. It is windy all the time but I think that helps to keep the temperature down - we were not uncomfortably hot at any time. I recommend getting a pool villa - they are so good! Restaurant is excellent - quite a substantial menu and also a blackboard menu but nothing changed much on that in 12 days. Chefs are very flexible with leaving items out or adding items in to dishes. Fire show on the beach was very enjoyable. We all had at least one spa visit each and everyone was happy with their treatment. We did every day trip on offer and enjoyed them all. We ventured out quite a few times, for sightseeing and for a few meals. We went in a Tamanu van each time, with one of their drivers, highly recommend this. Cannot remember the price but it was worth it. The road in is pretty rough but I think it was due to be graded the week we left. Staff are all lovely and super friendly. We did lots of beach walking. There is a nice little bay not far up where we had a nice swim. There is also a good little pizza place a short walk along the beach, which is only open on Weekends but has a beach volleyball court and shaded areas to sit and look at the view - it is called Sol Wata Beach Club. Eva and Fiona helped us a lot with any queries we had. The gardens and grounds were immaculate. We would be very happy to stay here again. One thing all of us girls would have loved would be if they had a second wardrobe in the rooms (there is room) - the existing one does not hold maxi dresses and is not big enough for 2 peoples clothes.

Highly recommend paying the bit extra to have a waterfront bungalow - we had #6 (two bedrooms) I think and it was just heaven having the water lapping just 15 steps out from the back sliding door. Location was so peaceful and about 5 drive into the centre of Port Vila. The bungalow itself is quite basic but very clean and a great hot shower, tv, lovely table and chairs at the back overlooking the lagoon, and temperamental wi-fi which worked better by the pool area. There was everything we needed in the kitchen (including microwave and coffee mocha!) to be able to self-cater which is handy where food and eating out in Vanuatu is pricey. You are a mini-bus taxi ride away from supermarket/Port Vila town centre so worthwhile picking up essentials such as drinks, beer, milk on way there if possible, to tide you over until you can do a bigger supermarket trip. (Note that supermarkets stop selling alcohol in Vanuatu from 11am Saturday through to Monday morning.) Manager, Chris, was incredibly helpful to us and helped make our stay very enjoyable. We went to Three Pigs restaurant (1km) our first night and second night when we had a car we drove to a Thai restaurant Chris had recommended. The pool is inviting but quite small and was cold whilst we were there, but there are kayaks to borrow and all sorts of snorkelling gear, reef shoes etc that we didn't need but could be handy. This really was a lovely place to begin our hols, enjoy the lagoon views and slide into the island vibe.
