The caretakers were superb. The staff were fantastic. Very friendly and helpful permanent residents. Great location and the the best is when all the guests getting together at dusk to feed the fish. We will love to go back

Bit out of town, snorkel reefs off the property
Vanuatu is just opening up for business, all the staff keen to make our stay comfortable especially helping out with transport. Its not really easy walking distance to much. The 2 bedroom bungalow was super spacious and comfy, bit worn out but good beachy, salt sprayed, wind blown vibe. Snorkeling off the jetty very good but water can get rough.

No joy
Vanuatu is a poor country and sure, these bungalows are luxury, be it a bit run down. However, hospitality does not cost anything, and the way this place is run is unwelcoming and cheap. It has a negative and cold atmosphere. It did not spark joy.

Very mixed feelings about this 'Resort'... Upon arrival, it was not what I expected based on photographs and the description on Expedia. Photos were very misleading and cleverly done to hide the fact that the resort is not on an accessible beachfront, the only way into the water is down a ladder off a jetty - as the waterfront is untraversable rocks. You have to walk 25-30 minutes up the road to get to an accessible/sand beach area. The swimming pool is very small compared to the size it appears to be in the photographs. We were not aware that the only dining option is the one small restaurant on the resort. The next closest restaurant is 30 min walk away. However, the evening meals we had there were always very nice and of good quality. The same can not be said for the 'complimentary' breakfast. It was nice to be away from Port Vila - by the water. It is quiet and peaceful. The downside of this placement means you have to arrange a bus or taxi every time you want to go on a trip or leave the resort. Management will do this for you, but it obviously costs every time - and we didn't find it cheap. The bungalow was spacious and well equipped if you wanted to cook for yourself - but a trip to get food meant a bus or taxi ride. Based on the facilities on this property I think the word 'resort' is a bit misleading. it is a collection of 16 or so bungalows, in pleasant gardens with one small restaurant and a small swimming pool.
