    Right in the heart of Port Villa,near shops and banks and market. Beautiful location overlooking the harbour. Great size balcony. Rooms have been renovated and modern. View is breath taking at night and during the day. We paid for buffet breakfast which is good value.

    The wifi wasn’t great, the hotel smelled of cigarettes all day. Our room and bed head faced a nightclub that didn’t close until 3am and that was awful

    The place was very run down and part of it was being refurbished causing some noise. There was lack of toiletries and no bottled water

    It was in centre of Port Vila and next to the market, but there was not a lot of interest.

    Our room needed a makeover; lots of disruptions due to ongoing work in the hotel; sliding balcony doors are too heavy; if you're going to pay for the premium room ask for the ones closest to Iririki Island; meals in restaurant were overpriced as were drinks at bar; casino was small and very smoky.

    Location was excellent, right on the edge of downtown; too expensive for what you got; next door to free ferry to Iririki Island. Staff were very helpful.

    Not as enjoyable as expected.

    We ended up on a smoking floor with a room that had mini child size beds. It was a booking made several months prior to travel. So not a last minute thing. The doors between us and the adjoining room were both unlocked. We had a TV but no remote control. It was a disappointing start to our return trip to Vanuatu. A country that my sister and I had lived in with our parents from 1977 for 13 years.

    The location is perfect and in the middle of town. The breakfast was also good.

    It’s overpriced for what it is. The room is small, our 2 single beds very narrow (albeit very comfy). It fulfils its function but I wouldn’t want to stay nor Ethan 1-2 nights

    A 4-star style hotel at a good location with a great view. Pretty good for Vanuatu standard

    It is an extremely shabby, quite ugly and dirty place -- do not expect basic global standards here.

    The hotel is right on the waterfront and the rest of Port Vila is a walkable distance.

    Unfortunately there was an incident the day before I checked out. The cleaning staff and their manager Dora would not give me soap because the cleaner Evelyn went through my draws and found soap I collect to donate to the locals. It is a breach of my privacy but according to Dora and Evelyn it is the policy of this hotel to check my draws where I had my personal belongings!! I was questioned if I had soap in my draws by six of them at the reception when I requested more soap!! Very low and poor customer service and I definitely will not return to this hotel

    The view from the balcony is exceptional great location
