The location is fairly accessible to Port Vila city centre, with buses passing frequently along the road outside directly into town.
There is a nice rocky beach on site. I'm not sure it's possible to swim in it, but I enjoyed sitting in the garden looking at it.

The location, the staff were amazing very friendly. The pool area was great, but they did cut up the tiles on put 2nd last day, stopping us from using the pool. That okay, but if it was our 1st day??? Hope they would of let guest know this.

The room we got was a great size with a beautiful view of the water. Our flight was changed and we were able to extend our stay for a late check out (for a fee). Restaurant was great.

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.

Exceptional place if you wish to get into the local lifestyle and explore the culture. There are nice places to visit like Mele Beach bar for Fire Dance, Blue Lagoon and Iririki Island for Snorkeling, Kayaking, swimming, casino and a lot more to offer that too at very affordable rates.

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.
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).
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!
Ian and his staff were great, he went above and beyond to get us adjusted into Vanuatu - suggesting places to go and going over a map. He answered questions and helped us out when we asked. The other staff were also lovely! Pool was nice. Fridge also worked really well - better than others we had used in Vanuatu.
MG Cocomo location is very handy. It’s 13 minutes from the airport and 8 mins from downtown Port Vila. We had the 2brm apartment with everything we needed. Very happy with our stay and the property and grounds are maintained nicely by the Staff. The Staff were amazing and I would definitely stay here again.
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.
Accommodation located in a great spot with a seaview just on the edge of the main town, Port Vila. Handy for vars, restaurants, access to the water and shops and not far from the airport. It's just up a hill so helps with the views. Staff members were friendly. Room felt secure.
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)
The hotel was centrally located in Port Vila. We stayed here for 1 night because we had an early morning flight. The bed was very comfortable. The room had a view over Port Vila Harbour but the hotel is next door to a dock yard which detracts from the view.
Great location only 10min walk from Port Vila city centre. Spacious and comfortable room with kitchenette, ocean view and access for paddle boards and kayaks almost directly from the deck of our room. Helpful staff.
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 Melanesian is centrally located to down town Port Vila. You can easily walk into town. It is fairly priced. The staff were exceptional - they were the highlight.
