The constant noise from surrounding properties (barking dogs, traffic, etc). The villa we were in is due for a renovation (mould/mildew in bathroom, etc). You’re very close to the villa next door and if they are on their balcony talking you can see and hear them clearly.

You can walk to Port Vila from the resort and the view was nice from our room.

Some of the facilities are a little outdated but for what you pay it’s fine. We were told you can drink the tap water here, but I didn’t want to risk my weak digestion on that so we purchased water from Mangoes everyday, which did add up. Would be nice to have 2 bottles of water in the accomodation on the first day, but understandable that there wasn’t because the tap water is fine.

This review is coming from the perspective of someone who lives in Melbourne, Australia - where things are expensive. We stayed in a pool bungalow, it was a 1 bedroom villa with our own pool. For the price it was great ! Nice view of the water and a comfy bed. If you’re a coeliac / need to eat gluten free, I highly recommend staying here. The Mangoes restaurant food is really good, they have gf options and are really accomodating in modifying meals to gluten free. The fish was so fresh, the lobster was incredible and the steak was chefs kiss. Shout out to the chef, Every meal we had was perfect! You could probably find food cheaper somewhere elsewhere but we ate here the whole time because we were lazy and it was delicious. Also, the pina coladas were good too! We did ended up moving next door to the terraces after two nights because we wanted a little more privacy and space. I’m pretty sure both accommodation is the same owner. We continued eating at mangoes restaurant. The room services is still from Mangoes at the terraces. All of the staff were soooooooo nice and relaxed. Also, if you feel like a little change of scenery, you can walk down to the holiday inn and purchase a day pass for 2000VT // approx 25AUD to use their pool and facilities. We rented a kayak and paddled around the lagoon, saw lots of pretty starfish and some regular fish too.

The only issue we had was a misunderstanding over what was included in the light breakfast when you don't have it included as part of your package but this was quickly resolved by the amazing staff at reception.

The staff were so helpful and friendly and the room was large and comfortable with a great view of the lagoon. The location was good and it was only a short bus ride or 20 minute walk to the town centre. The food in the restaurant was superb.

They made all the arrangements I had requested for our very shot out of hours stay.

Would’ve loved to have some air conditioning in the room as it got quite hot at night and the air flow wasn’t too great even with windows open and fans on. But that is to be expected when traveling in summer to a tropical country.

Absolutely lovely place to stay at with very friendly staff and immaculately, clean facilities. Highly enjoyed the restaurant and bar with delicious food that we had for breakfast, lunch and dinner, especially the private dining experience with Chef Taku. Loved the private pool and other pools as well. Very relaxing and enjoyable stay.

This was very comfortable hotel for a two night stopover between flights. The staff were great and very helpful, the restaurant food was good and the room and facilities were all that we needed.

Very light breakfast included, toast or cereal. If you want eggs you are charged extra. Would be good to have full breakfast included in price.

Pleasant 2 night stay at Mangoes Resort. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Room was clean and comfortable. Fan over the bed just enough to keep you cool overnight. Pretty convenient location. We walked into town one night in about 25mins, was a bit hilly so decided on a local bus home which only cost 150Vt each person. Overall very happy and would stay again

We were surprised at how quiet the place was, being so close to town. No traffic noise, great place for some quiet relaxation. The staff were friendly and helpful. Enjoyed the plunge pool and the nice view.

Stayed in February 2024

The only thing I didn't like was having no air-conditioning/a decent ceiling fan in the room! The windows are only good if there is a breeze, and the ceiling fans didn't really get a good breeze going at the highest speed. It made for a hot nights sleep.

Loved the lap pool overlooking the lagoon! The restaurant is lovely, too, with great food. The staff are very polite and helpful. It's good that you get the option of being able to pay via a bank transfer.

As mentioned the private plunge pool could have been more private. Some rooms you could see right in to though. Also the workers take breaks in the gardens very close to the bungalow which is fine but they can see you.

The pools were nice. We had a private plunge pool but the neighbours could see in if they looked, which is fine as they didn’t. Food was great. Location also good. Buses go past regularly (they have the B on the plates and only cost 150vu per person)

Nothing

Light breakfast, but very nice, we love especially home made croissants.Location is great for people who prefer to stay out of busy town,but it's very easy to get a driver and be in the centre in 5 mins.We were so happy to enjoy beautiful garden, lovely pools and calm atmosphere of the resort.

It would be great to see some vegan food options on the dining menus please. The surrounding streets may feel a bit uncomfortable to walk around at night as there is no lighting and they are quite quiet streets.

I loved the setting in beautiful tropical gardens. Spacious bungalow, super comfortable bed, excellent shower. Small kitchen area in the bungalow was useful - sink, fridge and kettle provided. Polite and friendly staff.

Overall enjoyed our stay,as previously mentioned lighting a bit dim and paying for air conditioning even though we didn’t need to use it every day.

Convenient location, reasonably close to to town but still quiet and private. Ken the bus driver who was often at the apartments was extremely helpful. Gardens lovely. Enjoyed having private plunge pool and view of lagoon. Found communication when booking efficient, answered our questions promptly. Staff at resort always helpful.

Loved the hill top views and villa layout. It was also a perfect location to catch the evening breeze. Special mention to dinner time cooking team. The meals were delicious and well priced. Lovely combination of freshness, texture and flavours. Presentation was also of a high standard.

The breakfast that you get included with your booking is quite misleading. It is a 'light breakfast' option meaning its only toast, fruit and muesli and you have to pay extra for a proper breakfast. The hotel restaurant is quite expensive. The phones in the rooms don't work and they don't tell you this until you try and use the phone so you can't call for room service, reception or security. There was a fair bit of mold in the shower.

The staff were lovely and extremely helpful for all our enquiries that we had during our stay. The food at the restaurant is delicious. The massages were excellent. There are good facilities at this resort such as several pools and a tennis court. The resort is adult only so there are no children around and it has a very relaxing vibe.

The view from our bungalow was stunning. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Always ready to greet you with a big smile. The gardens are very well maintained and adds a very nice tropical atmosphere. The pools are nice and well maintained. The rooms were clean and well appointed.

Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Vilas are lovely and the whole resort is in great conditions with the gardens very well looked after. It is a bit of a walk into town but it is easy enough to find a bus to take you in.
