    We booked 1 bedroom apartment however Aircon was only in master bedroom. It wasn’t pleasant experience to sleep without aircon/fan. They should provide at least pedestal fan in lounge.

    Supervisors and staff were very friendly and accommodating. My flight to port vila cancelled 2 consecutive days but they didn’t charge me and kept rescheduling the room. Lagoon view from our rooms was awesome. They also helped to book taxis whenever I asked for even late evenings.

    We arrived at the property and the girls bed was not made. We had to wait for a lady to make the bed and during that time the girls were complaining because they had to watch their movie with us on our bed.

    The location of the property faces the harbor. My girls enjoyed it very much because there was a cruise ship there and they also divers near the restaurant. we enjoyed our dinner and the girls were invited by a staff to see the fire dance at the beach bar.

    Above what we expected for Vanuatu. It was not spotless, but the beds were perfect and all floors/surfaces had been cleaned well.

    Central to the hubbub of Port Vila with exceptional food and sunset views. Comfortable, good amenities, great restaurant and bar, staff were exceptional. ATM in the foyer is a handy addition.

    The bathroom was little outdated and a door that exposed the internal plumbing would not close. The lights in the bedroom were very dim.

    This was our first stay at Chantilly's The view from our balcony room was fantastic, the bed was really comfortable and the breakfast was delicious. If you have a late flight into Port Vila and you need a place to stay before connections, this is a great option. Very easy work into Port Vila shops and the market etc. We had a great night at the Banyan Beach Bar, the pizza was excellent and the drinks cold.

    Rooms are very dated and basic which are long overdue for refurbishment and very overpriced. Service in the bar and restaurant is hit and miss having to wait sometime to get served despite the restaurant being almost empty.

    Great Bar and restaurant on the waterfront, public areas are really nice. The food is also very good.

    Wi-fi didn't work at all which was frustrating. A tad expensive for the standard room and facilities and there are probably cheaper options close by. Room needs an upgrade but understand that tourism has just started to open up again in Vanuatu.

    Convenient location if you wanted to stay close to the City Centre and if you are staying overnight in Vila - about a 5-7 min walk. Good restaurants close by.

    The sun heats up the room when the curtains are open but if closed you can’t see the view. the aircon worked well enough in the bedroom but didn’t cool the lounge much so might be a an issue for some but we coped fine as kids were in the lounge.

    Fantastic views of the bay from the room, the dining area and pool. Walking distance to everything in town. The restaurant was excellent and one of the reasons we chose this hotel. the staff were capable and friendly. they allowed us to check in by 1 and check out by 12 which was handy for our arrival and flight departures.

    Service from the staff in the restaurant could have been better. Toilets could have been cleaner in our room. An iron that worked properly would also have been useful.

    Location Great - Restaurant Great - Restaurant Staff could have been more attentive - had to track them down for orders & payments. The standout was the helpfulness & service from the gentlemen on reception - couldn't have been more helpful. Outstanding service from both of them.

    A little outdated and could do with a little update. It is a very loud hotel with lots of non hotel guests accessing pool and restaurant all day & night (we personally wanted a quiet relaxing spot). Stayed for 7 nights and only swam in the pool once as it was visibly very unclean. Our balcony was also shared with 2 other rooms so we had little kids running past our window/door so not much privacy from some rooms unfortunately. Room turnaround wasn't done very well, toilet paper not always restocked, bins not emptied and bathroom wasn't cleaned.

    Great location, only short walk to town. Helpful staff and stunning views. WiFi is great everywhere & they have a lovely woodfire pizza bar next door which was a bonus.

    Chantillys did not disappoint. We had done our research and it was as expected. No real downside other than the food was a bit costly but so is everywhere else in Vila

    Staff were very friendly and helpful. Special thanks to Marika on reception who so helpful. She is a great ambassador for Chantilly's. Small beach one minute walk from hotel pool was great. Water was just fabulous . Would suggest anyone going to Vanuatu to take wet shoes for the beaches as being a volcanic island very few if any really sandy beaches. Lots of rocks and stones. The rooms at Chantilly's were very spacious and the view from our rooms balcony was fabulous.

    I had a very stressful experience trying to pay my bill where the very frustrated receptionist struggled to verify the correct amount on my bill when I kept pointing out that I had been over charged. After an hour, I ended up paying for the incorrect amount and was refunded in cash the next day but had already lost on both foreign exchange and my credit card charges.

    great location, self contained, walking distance to town and shops/restaurants with a great view over the bay
