South Pacific Beach Holidays

Way overrated considering other options like Thailand and Fiji. Very expensive food. No wifi in rooms, only wifi around the lobby. Access to rooms is via paths of sand so wheelie bags have to be carried by porter or lifted from the ground yourself. The room is a great size and charming with mosquito net over the bed which is comfortable, and bathroom open to the elements... if you have a shower when it is raining you get wet before you turn on the shower. Controlling hot water temperature is fiddly but the water pressure is good. Full of bugs so an ecological experience. The included breakfast buffet is adequate... cereal, bread, fruit (surprisingly no bananas or papaya today but apparently they ran out by 8am), pastries, cake, coffee, tea. And you can order bacon and eggs at an extra charge. The staff are friendly and warm and in the most part really try, and are lovely but sometimes inefficient... forgetting orders, slow in replenishing empty bowls, resetting tables once people have finished, organising airport shuttles. The beach looks nice but lots of rocks and broken coral on the shore so painful walking without reef shoes (a must!). You can easily catch a mini bus to Port Vila CBD for 150 vatu each way. Knowing that Covid has struck hard, with a cyclone and earthquake to boot, it's hard not to feel sorry for the locals and it feels good helping out by being part of the tourism boost so desperately needed. Probably wouldn't visit again but glad I did.

Although the resort burres are in need of updating, they were clean and comfortable. The buffet breakfasts and dinners were excellent. Pools were beautiful, although many of the sunloungers need to be replaced as they were old and past their use by date. All things considered I'd be happy to stay again.

Amazing location, wonderful rooms, kind and welcoming staff. Golf course is excellent, overall great hospitality

Cama confortable. Buenos espacios para colocar la ropa y otras cosas. Belle vista al mar. La climatización en la sala era muy ruidosa. No podíamos usarla durante nuestra estancia. Vino un técnico, pero no fue reparada hasta nuestra salida

Mixed Experience Our stay was okay overall, with a few highlights—but also several frustrations that held it back from being truly enjoyable. What We Liked: • Kids Club: Packed with activities that kept the little ones entertained for hours. • Swimming Pools: Great variety and well-maintained. • Breakfast: Solid selection and tasty options to start the day. • Fiji Airways Check-In Onsite: Huge convenience—no need to arrive at the airport 3 hours early. What Fell Short: • Hidden Costs at Kids Club: The Build-a-Bear experience felt almost unavoidable and came with a hefty price tag (over $100). • Coffee Situation: Machine-made coffee was subpar, and with only two machines for 100+ guests, there were frequent issues—milk running out, machines rebooting, long waits. • Inconsistent Room Cleaning: Housekeeping often came late in the day (after 4pm), which was inconvenient once we’d returned to the room. • Room Condition: Dated interiors, including a leaking bathroom ceiling and non-functional phones to reach reception. • Construction Nearby: No noise, but the view from some rooms was bleak and uninspiring. • Water Slide Closure: Oddly shut down between 12–2pm—right when kids want to play. • Service Gaps: Staff didn’t always follow through on requests. We asked for a 5:30am luggage pickup—no one came. Also requested early breakfast access due to a flight, but were turned away until managment involvment. Not exactly customer-first approach. Summary: okay, but not special.

the Wicked Walu seafood restaurant is a must do, food is excellent and location divine. if you don’t want an organised day out local express buses stop at the top of the entrance drive on the roadside and are great value. for adults there is an adult only pool and three happy hours a day on offer

Great location and beautiful hotel and facilities
