A nice comfortable place to stay. Big rooms, good beds, quality breakfast and great pool. Just a short stroll down the hill to the centre of town, with excellent cafes on the way, but still quiet. And a two minute walk to supermarkets. I stay there every time in in Port Vila.

Staff were super lovely: friendly and helpful. Attached tour desk was limited to expensive experiences, so would recommend reaching further afield to book tours, but the hotel did loan us some snorkelling gear for the days we wanted to self explore. Would recommend.

6/10 Good

We were only here for a night, so probably can’t give the most well-rounded review. In summary, it was fine. The staff were really friendly and super helpful. The room and general building was fine, clean, but generally looking a bit tired. This could be partly due to nearby construction and a significant earthquake last year. The AC worked really well, however the water supply cut out for a period early in the morning.

Very friendly staff. Lovely pool. Went to their Melanesian night which was excellent - including the BBQ (especially the steak). Nice air conditioned room with a comfortable bed. Marked down as there are areas that are a bit tired, however overall its clean and tidy.
