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.

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 NEED ERAKOR CONTACT ME BECAUSE FOR THE CYCLONES THE RESORT WAS DAMAGE WITH NOT WATER AND ELECTRICITY.
I PAYED BEFORE TRAVEL AND I NEED TO KNOW IF THEY GOING TO REFUND ME THE MONEY OR GIVE ME CREDIT.
PLEASE CONTACT ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!
Exceptional hotel. Very comfortable room, great amenities both in the room and on the hotel grounds. Well equipped kitchen gives travelers with special dietary needs all the comforts of home.
The hotel is right on the beach overlooking Port Vila Harbor. Great location for a tropical resort. Relaxing views from the room and veranda (if you're fortunate enough to get a beach front room). If you're planning a trip to Port Vila the Ramada is a great choice.
Best value accommodation in Port Vila. We spent two weeks in Port Vila and stayed in a number of places, this was the the nicest, quietest and friendliest place we stayed by far. Great value for money, full facilities in the sea view lodges including kitchenette, big comfy beds, great views, fan, Aircon and very clean. Our flight home got cancelled and they shuffled things around quickly to get us an extra night stay. Highly recommend.
The staff and location of this place was very good. I spent there a good working week ( I traveled for the UN mission) in uneasy post- Covid times. The place is safe and relatively quiet even though it is located near the main road. It has full kitchen and laundry/ dryer plus a very big patio. The owner dropped me off to the airport free of charge which was very nice and unexpected. Thank you!
We had an amazing stay at Moorings Hotel. The accomodation was exceptional! Perfect location, the view of the coast from the pool was beautiful and it was only a short walk into town.
The staff is what really made our stay so special, they were all so lovely and helpful. We had never visited Vanuatu before and they gave excellent recommendations on what to do and how to best get around.
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.
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.
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!
The hotel entrance is great, the outlook to the lagoon is lovely and the pools and pool bar was good and is similar to what you would see in these type of resorts. Got the room at a discount so it was cheaper compared to other hotels in Vila.
Kids eat free. Good package deals - everyone there is on a package deal. It was very run down. We checked out Warwick Le Lagon and it's MUCH better value and looks and feels like a 5 star resort for the same or cheaper price.
The hotel is beautiful. It's near by to shopping mall and town, restaurant and bars are beside the hotel. Very nice people we meet their at the hotel. The rooms are cheap compare to others.The room is clean and comfortable.
Beth is an amazing host, always happy to go the extra mile. The Coral Hotel is very close to the airport and only a short walk to heaps of eating and shopping options. The rooms were spacious and comfortable.
The hotel provided a true travel experience - local ni-Vanuatu people book this hotel daily so was able to meet & have enjoyable coversations from many different islands including remote islands.
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.
-beautiful and spacious lobby
