I’ve been traveling to Vanuatu since 2018. I’ve stayed in nearly every “budget,” a bunch of affordable, and a few ritzy spots. This spot for its price cannot be beat. Clean, running water, overly accommodating staff. Seriously, they washed my clothes and offered me a bigger room because it was available.
What set them apart is they refunded me for the first night of my three night stay since I was unable to check in until day two because of a flight delay. And they let me check in at 9am because the room was ready!
Look. Vanuatu is a silly expensive country. I’d say ludicrous at times. This hotel is worth it. Work with the staff and they will ensure you have working A/C, wi-if (given no storms), a bed, and a quiet space in the heart of Vila (which is very hard to find).
Vanuatu MG Cocomo Resort offers Melanesian-style accommodations, located a 5-minute drive from central Port Vila and a 15-minute drive from Port Vila Airport.

We were in Vanuatu for 4 days, the hotel is a perfect place to stay in Port Vila very close to the city center and the beach, the staff of the hotel is so kind and perfect they help you for everything.
The food of the breakfast is delicious and cooked by William so good. I wanted to thank the person again for his kindness :)

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.

The buffet breakfast was ok, for Vanuatu standards it was exceptional. Notable staff mentions - Moana (guest relations), Lily (house keeping/ baby sitter), Bong & David (waiter/ bartender). Picturesque location, post card views, Azure bar/ pool area is stunning. Easy ferry transfers in and out of town and to and from airport. Family friendly environment and staff very happy to help and engage with our daughter. The Island Fare room was very spacious even with a cot. The aircon worked fabulously!
The accommodation is very easy to approach and can move all over Port Vila very easily. The owner of Dwellery and her family is amazing and they let you feel at home. It was fabulous experience staying at Janessa's Dwellery. The place is not a luxury place but hospitality and support for all the things is exceptional. The staff guides very nicely to arrange tours on your own. Highly recommended place to stay. Last but not least the breakfast is also satisfying.
The hotel is very central to the town and they were extremely accommodating to our last-minute booking request after our flight was cancelled. Restaurant and food was really nice and enjoyed the pool looking out to the harbour/Iririki island.
Our room was generously sized and clean and we were really happy with the portacot that they provided for our child. Staff were all very friendly and attentive
Very good value for money! We stayed 4 nights and were very happy! The bed was super comfortable, large room and a balcony.
Beth is the sweetest. She helped us out when we need to store our luggage for a couple of days, while going to Tanna. She even drove us to the airport!
Located close to the airport close to the highway. A little from the centrum but you can take local busses, easy and cheap.
Loved the Villa we were in Deluxe Villa 2 for 8 nights. Perfect positioning. Very private, fresh coffee and plunger. Outdoor shower. Breakfast 5 star and included. The itemised bill coming out each day so we could sign off and know what we spent. Everything. Snorkelling out front and at castaway private island was superb when the sunny and not too windy.

-good room service for dining

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.
Wonderful resort! The food is absolutely world class and the best we had during our time in Vanuatu at various other resorts. The staff were friendly and helpful and the rooms were spacious and clean. Location is also within close proximity to town. Would definitely recommend if staying at Port Vila.
Location—closer to the main road, supermarket, local market, bus stop, and USP Graduation venue, which is why we travelled to Vanuatu in the first place.
There were not a lot of guests at the resort, and we thoroughly enjoyed the facilities ourselves with the help and smiles of the staff.
The hotel is well-located, close to the airport (which means cheaper taxi fares), walking distance to the city center and has some nice restaurants around. Rooms have A/C and hot water. The staff is really nice. Rooms have mosquito nets, but they have some holes.
Beautiful ocean views from the Panoramic Suite.
Staff were generally friendly and house keeping was done daily.
Located in the heart of Port Vila (approx 15 minutes drive from airport).
Shops/Markets are near by and you are never short of public transport.
I liked staying in a smaller lodge / hotel as it was nice and quiet and we hardly heard or saw the other guests. Loved that it was a short walk to the main town center and on the main road so always 'buses' offering lifts too.
The hotel is conveniently located to the location I worked from but not too far from the town centre either, ~ 10-15mins walk. The staff were superb, all so nice and accommodating. And the breakfast included was very nice.
The owner is kind and generous with her time. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Breakfast is ample and tasty. And the lodge is just a short walk from the airport.
Room is okay but with many bugs.
Good location , beach right in front
Breakfast charge is hard to understand.
