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.

I PAYED BEFORE TRAVEL AND I NEED TO KNOW IF THEY GOING TO REFUND ME THE MONEY OR GIVE ME CREDIT.

Moorings hotel was a highlight on our holiday. The staff is very friendly and welcoming, the food and cocktails are great and the facilities lead straight into the lovely swimming pool with ocean view. The buffet breakfast is simple but the home-made pancakes give it that special touch. There is always the option of add ons. Great value for money.
The atmosphere was lively and it's a short walk to the centre and the markets.
We will be returning to Moorings hotel whenever we visit Vanuatu in the future!
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.
The Mariner is an exceptional property in Port Vila. While it may not have the swim up bar, it has incredible views, beautiful, friendly staff and a comfortable location to town. Lovely reasonably priced restaurants are a stones throw away. The apartment we stayed in is fabulous for families, in that it has two bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen that allowed home cooked meals and a full laundry. The pool was a fun addition.
The owner family of the property made me very welcome and became like family to me. They included me in local expatriate (European) life and activities. They made my 70th birthday about the best birthday that I have had, with their generosity and company. They brought single backpacker guests together and that made for the highlight of the trip to Vanuatu.
Amazing service. Petter and Anne are so wonderful and the staff was friendly and accommodating as well. The food is INCREDIBLE -- the best food we had in Vanuatu, by far. The property is lovely and comfortable. The shower pressure and hot water was perfect every time. The views are spectacular and the dives were great. Can't recommend enough!!
-the Melanesian is a short walk to the city centre, very close to the pain street, market, museum, restaurants
-comfortable rooms and bed
-our room has double access, once facing the pool and one facing the back corridor which was convenient
-good room service for dining
-very attentive front desk staff
Location was perfect. The secenic sunsets and good happy hour prices. Rooms and beds were very comfortable. Walking distance to Port Vila city area with lots of eating options nearby. Pool was probably the best in the area and always clean. The deck around the prooperty gave it a real relaxing feeling.
Family run place, very friendly.
Nice breakfast included and served on your terrace.
Place is really clean. Hosts go all the way to make your stay pleasant. For example, I got some homemade bread and fruit in the kitchen (as I was leaving early morning).
Place is 5 minutes walking from the airport
Being quite new and very modern the room were excellent, nice & clean, good aircon, only issue the family rooms being so far from the facilities.
The staff were extremely friendly, and Renata helped out so much with booking our tours.
The pool area was great with food and drinks easily available.
Staffs there are so friendly, kind and helpful!! They arranged to make tour company to pick me up and arranged airport transfer for me!! Rosan is one of the amazing staffs there❣️ she cooked breakfast for me and gave me advices to enjoy exploring Port Vila! Was so lovely stay!!
Location was great, easy access to port vila and airport! Description of accommodation was absolutely spot on!!
Access to kayaks was great!
Peaceful and quiet, didnt know there were other guests during the day.
Rooms clean and well provisioned.
Reception super helpful!
Location was great--just up the hill from the beach and a short walk into town. It was also just up the hill from Moorings Hotel where I had stayed earlier with a tour group so I knew I could hang out there and use their wifi because Room with a View had zero wifi.
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.
Beth was a really kind host and very responsive including after my repeated emails with Air Vanuatu flight cancellations! The apartment was spacious, great kitchen, everything I needed. Good location, walkable to town or bus stop just outside
The location was very accessible to all..the place was quite,comfy feel like real home for me..Beth and staffs are very helpful and nice..i love the place and my room..thank you wo much Beth for dropping me to the airport..see you soon..
The managers at the hotel were very friendly and were very happy to accommodate us. The location itself was very nice and was great for kayaking. Would be good if you wanted something outside of town and didn’t want to be in Port Vila.
For me, the location was second to none! Given that I was merely transiting in Port Vila, I needed something close to the airport. Janessa's Dwellery was clean, well priced and the staff were wonderful.
The location is good. But the Hotel is a low-cost budget hotel packed with local working-class people. rooms and beds were not clean. air condition was not working.
