Port Vila Lomakeskukset

Plussat: The service was efficient, friendly and so professional. The food was incredible, good coffee and incredibly relaxing not to mention stunningly beautiful. I can't wait to go back.

Miinukset: Really I have no complaints at all. The Eratap team and management have it together.

Plussat: Beautifully set out villa’s, peaceful and secluded. Food was amazing, something different every day. Great snorkelling off the beach at high tide and plenty to do on and off the property. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend to others.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: breakfast amazing, location amazing, total holiday amazing

Miinukset: there wasn't enough pepper in the pepper shaker ;)

Plussat: Breakfast on the beach each day was excellent and generous. We are vegan and the Chef looked after us beautifully by providing interesting, nutritious and delicious dishes, using local produce, each night for dinner.

Plussat: There was nothing not to like, the location is perfect, the ease of getting to the resort is unparalleled (40 minutes drive from the airport), every villa has sea view, the food is exceptional, especially considering you are on an island in the pacific, the staff.....they display a genuineness to serve the guests and make their stay special. Every guest is King. Plenty of activities, snorkeling from the beach, kayaking in the lagoon a nice swim or simply do nothing. Note.....there are rarely more then 30 people at a time in the resort, the feel of exclusivity is real :-)

Miinukset: The stay was too short.....

Plussat: Beach front was amazing and no need to go somewhere else for snorkling.

Plussat: Very nice resort on island close to Port Vila. Our villa was spacious and clean with beautiful terrace just above the sea. Unfortunately, the area in front of our villa was not good for swimming, so we used resort beach, which is a bit better but the quality of water is still average. The best thing was presence of large number of starfish. Boat service is available 24 hours a day. Rides takes about 5 minutes, but have in mind that you could wait additional 10-15 minutes before boat starts. Hotel stuff was very kind and helpful. WiFi was OK.

Miinukset: Buffet breakfast is average with poor choice of food. Resort is placed on island and it's not close to Port Villa, so you need to use bus or taxi to reach town. General impressions are very good, but I would stay that it is a bit overpriced.

Plussat: Beautiful island, laid back, some lovely staff. And now with wifi in the chalets. Great food. Really enjoyed snorkelling.

Miinukset: Having to leave after 3 days :-)

Plussat: Island time

Miinukset: Island time

Plussat: the villas on the water - amazing! worth the extra money. breakfast is great!

Miinukset: we booked there because of many good reviews regarding the food (lunch and dinner). we were a bit disappointed - the food is ok, not more than that.

Plussat: Everything. Its such a beautiful island to stay on with beautiful people working there. Super happy we were there in pineapple season, yum yum yum!!! Wonderful to be surrounded by water for snorkling & kayaking. Lovely beaches. Highly recommend the day spa.

Miinukset: No fresh coconut on the menu

Plussat: The location is fabulous - a beautiful little island with great sunsets and lagoon views, only accessible by ferry (merely a couple of minutes travel time). Very friendly and helpful staff - they really went out of their way to make us feel welcomed and relaxed. Good food and great cocktails at either of two bars. Our Deluxe Spa room was spacious and comfortable with its own beach, and sunset views from our outdoor spa. :) The lagoon is great for swimming and snorkeling, with a surprising diversity of fish and other marine life considering the proximity to people. The resort has an efficient, easy to use tour/event booking hut just off the arrival pier, next to the restaurant - great for arranging custom/last minute tours, as well as the more organised ones. There's a schedule of regular events including beach movie + pizza nights, fire shows and the like that are worth attending. Airport transfers were easily arranged - around 25-30 minutes travel time. Downtown Port Vila only 5-10 minutes away by bus/taxi. The resort caters for families, but the island is big enough for couples to enjoy themselves without being surrounded by noisy kids (parents can also leave their children in the care of resort staff during the day). We are already working on a plan to return here.

Miinukset: Not much, to be honest. Our room was missing a beach lounger when we arrived, and the room's shower drain was initially blocked causing water to leak everywhere, however these were quickly addressed once we mentioned them. The difference in drinks quality seemed to vary quite a bit depending on who was making them, especially in the Calypso beach bar, but that really was just a minor niggle.

Plussat: The staff are lovely.

Plussat: The service was friendly and impeccable though which most times made up for those noisence. It was very clean.

Miinukset: The access to the beach was rocky and not easy for the kids. Only one restaurant/cafe option and too far to walk to any other restaurants/cafes nearby. Pool seemed a little smaller than the photo but not too bad. The gym which consisted of a single machine was out of order. 5 out of the 9 nights we were there there were all sorts of different disturbance. Mostly loud music. And most morning we had smoke coming through the windows from a nearby outdoor kitchen fire.

Plussat: Beautiful place and lovely people. Easy acces to the local busses that are driving past to go in to the city center.

Plussat: We loved the big, open plan room (we got upgraded to the ocean view which was so lovely to wake up to!) We were able to cook breakfast in the mornings (supermarkets a short bus ride away) and ate at the restaurant a few times for dinner - good food! Beautiful little beach area and relaxing pool!

Miinukset: Not much to dislike. We had a good stay!

Plussat: Location was perfect. Local buses go past all the time . A little bit out of town so that adds to the peace and serenity Pool and private beach beautiful. Having the restaurant on site is very convenient. There are many other restaurants close by and the staff will recommend these and provide a map of the area. Book tours if you need that done.

Miinukset: Everything about the resort was perfect. Unfortunately noisy neighbours were a bit annoying but that is outside of the control of the accommodation.

Plussat: the staff was very friendly, the facility was good, have kitchen laundry and bbq, swimming pool, even big balcony, location was good, close enough to city but also right next to beach. peaceful and quiet, security guard was exceptional good. when the taxi didn't turn up the last day, the security guard go out of way and get bus for us, provided nice baby cot, including mosquito net, high chair and plastic bath tub.

Miinukset: bathroom basin was leaking, and one of the house keeping lady was very slow, and cannot manage to clean the room when we step out of resort.

Plussat: Excellent meals. Happy accomodating staff.

Plussat: Amazing place to stay. Great staff, great location, food okay.

Miinukset: Internet is horrible. (Only thing wrong with this place.) If you need high speed bring it yourself. Lol

Plussat: The facilities where fanatsic and the staff more then accommodating.

Miinukset: Only issue was that our food got mixed up at the resturant. Nothing serious.

Miinukset: the food，the door

Plussat: The staff are amazing and very friendly. Facilities are all you need if you’re wanting a relaxing time away.

Miinukset: The grudges in the rooms aren’t the best do cold water in rooms is hard to come by. Considering the charges, a working fridge is expected.

Plussat: Our overwater bungalow was clean and comfortable for our two night stay. The island and its gardens are very pleasant as are the dining area, restaurant, bar and infinity pool overlooking the bay. The hotel's ferry provides continuous transport for the short trip between the island and Port Vila for those that want to explore the town or dine onshore.

Miinukset: We were very disappointed with the in-room service. The ordered toasted paninis were delivered untoasted and so stale they were inedable, with the replacement little better. The cleaner left the unfinished food outside next morning only to be eaten, we assume by rats. The plate, remnants remaining, was still outside our room when we checked out two nights later. The overwater bungalows face the town and were very noisy with loud music from onshore bars until the early hours of the morning.

Plussat: Everything was fantastic

Miinukset: Our fridge did not keep things much cooler than our air con did, and it smelled really bad. Room 71

Plussat: The atmosphere and feeling of being lost on an island. It was comfortable, relaxing and serene. The spa was amazing and I highly recommend getting a treatment here. Ask for Joanne. She is so good at her job.

Miinukset: The music playing from the mainland can be loud. Not the resort's fault.

Plussat: Snorkeller's Cove and the free equipment was fantastic

Miinukset: Bathroom shower was basic and not much pressure Wifi was sporatic

Plussat: Great staff, nice ocean frontage, quiet and nice environment. Food was good, very private bungalow was good, too. Resident dogs were an added bonus.

Miinukset: Nothing stands out as a problem or disliked. I'm glad that we rented a car though (last minute decision) as it's a fair way out of Port Vila.

Plussat: The best thing about this place is the access to a beautiful natural pool just steps away from your room. There were always happy blue fish, some coral and some starfish too. They're not shy, so you can just get in and check them out every day. The two local people that work there are super sweet, it's a shame they were off on the day we arrived, so couldn't enjoy their presence for long enough.

Miinukset: When greeted by the owners, since staff was off that day, I was told "Welcome guys, there are a couple of cold beers for you in the mini bar". Wouldn't you suppose those are complimentary? I did. Booking.com says "tropical breakfast" included. I rocked up to the restaurant and find a table with a breakfast that looks like something you'd find at a cheap Gold Coast backpackers hostel: a couple of options of cereal, yoghurt and milk, two slices of toast. There was a plate of fresh papaya, which I suppose justify the "tropical" part of the breakfast. No fresh (or bottled) juices of any kind. Seeing that, I asked Damien if he had some eggs or omelete. He mumbled something about "this is the cold breakfast, then there are the cooked things". And threw a couple of dry fried eggs on top of some soggy toast and several rashers of burnt bacon on the side. I regret not having a photo. Only when checking out I discovered (there was no breakfast menu to make that more transparent) that each of those plates of eggs on toast were rated at almost twenty dollars, which, to be fair, were finally taken off the bill, not without a ridiculous discussion which pretty much ended on the owner mocking me for my english, which is certainly better than his, even though it's his first language. When I said "I didn't get that" about the hidden message that he was going to charge us extra for the eggs, he, later, after listening to me talk, said "Oh, sorry, I didn't get that, can you repeat?". The "cold beers in the fridge for you guys" were still charged. Doesn't surprise me that they're selling the place, their heart isn't in it. You can tell by the fact that, even though they were empty before and after, they didn't care to check that the hot water was working. Also, the area is super dead, there are like 5 or 6 properties in along and bumpy road.

Plussat: Had an amazing stay at Ripples. We loved that it felt very comfortable, relaxed & more personalised. Damien & Sally were great hosts, helping with tours, transfers & tasty breakfast in the morning. Thank you again

Plussat: Great location, right on the water. Very friendly and welcoming hosts. Excellent food in the on site restaurant. Clean, spacious room, well laid out. Beautiful bathroom as well. The most comfortable bed we had during our whole trip too!

Plussat: Very quiet and secluded location, with only the ocean and the sun to keep you company. The hosts were very hospitable and welcoming, providing tips and advice for day trips and getting around. We enjoyed our time at Ripples and would recommend it for anyone looking to relax and enjoy the natural setting.

Plussat: excellent food . location long way from anything ,

Miinukset: the road to get there

Plussat: Hosts Damien and Sally were very welcoming and gave the stay a personal touch. Excellent snorkeling just outside the property, reef shoes and snorkels free of charge, delicious food

Plussat: Great service and facilities, room was big and very clean. It was great to walk out straight into the lagoon.

Plussat: Resort itself had all we needed. Staff were not very helpful, nor attending to any needs. They seemed to do what they wanted when they wanted. The staff really let this resort down. Also, our rooms were not what we thought we booked, the first night we had to split the family in 2 until 'our rooms' which were booked 6 months earlier, were ready:(

Miinukset: Service of staff. They could be more helpful. Bar staff could be more friendly and bubbly. No body seemed too happy to be working at the resort. Reception staff need more training and whoever organises the rooms needs more training. We had to call the maintenance guy 4 times about our tv not working. On our 2nd last day he said it would be fixed tomorrow:(

Plussat: Air con was great, bed comfortable, breakfast good.

Miinukset: Our room was a lagoon view bungalow which technically we had but it wasn't as anticipated.

Plussat: The kids eat and drink free was an added bonus. We had access to kayaks for free. The swimming pools were great and lots of room. It is located just outside Port Vila, which we liked. Buffet breakfast was perfect.

Miinukset: When we first arrived they had placed a family of 5 in a room with only a double bed. They were also using a chainsaw outside the room which was very loud and petrol fumes, not a great first impression. However, they changed our rooms to family rooms and away from the noise.

Plussat: This property is tucked away on a nice little beach. It’s peaceful and small so you have full range of facilities. Service from all who work at Coco Beach is top notch as well. They will go out if their way to ensure your stay at this resort and in Vanuatu meets your expectations. The restaurant is situated out over the sea. Every morning at breakfast you can sit and watch the fish in the swimming area of the beach. I would highly recommend this place and hope to stay again.

Miinukset: Only down fall is the plumbing in our villa. The pressure wasn’t that great in the toilet, showers weren’t affected though!

Plussat: We loved the location and being a bit away from town - you wake up in paradise everyday. Super easy to get transport into town. Snorkelling is exceptional, right out the front of the resort. Staff were friendly and helpful and the bungalows felt natural to Vanuatu island style, unlike a lot of other accommodation.

Miinukset: The shower water temperature went from hot to cold sometimes (which made it difficult to wash hair!) and our air conditioner wasn’t great. However we had a comfortable stay.

Plussat: Coco Beach is a beautiful destination especially if you're wanting to get away from the hustle and bustle of your everyday life. It was close enough to the city being a 15/20min drive costing $1000VAT ($15NZD) for going out to dinner or doing activities but far away from all the noise. The rooms were beautiful with stunning views, but remember you are on an island so you may have to flush the toilet twice, or have a low pressured shower. Also don't expect to get wifi in your room unless you're right on the beach front, but that didn't bother us as we were able to fully disconnect. The room could have used a little TLC but nothing that affected out stay. Also any snacks you take to your room - PUT IN THE FRIDGE!! The tiny ants will come from everywhere and any where!! The breakfast that comes with your room is AMAZING! Highly recommend the omelette! Also you can order what ever you want!! Thats right - so each day we got pineapple juice, fruit plate and an omelette each which kept up going till after lunch. We also borrowed the kayaks - a little hard getting them into the water - but once we got there it was such a beautiful view. Make sure to have at least one dinner at the resort so you can see the gorgeous sunset over the beach!

Miinukset: The room like I said needed a little TLC. Also we had to ask for more bath and beach towels and I think if anyone is staying over 2/3 nights these should be changed without asking - but when we asked it wasn't a hassle at all.

Plussat: The staff are all execelnt and very friendly.

Miinukset: Could do more with the facilities offered, very under used place.

Plussat: Rooms were lovely and spacious. No A/C only ceiling fan but this was fine with sea breeze flowing through over night. Breky was lovely each morning either freshly cooked eggs and bacon or fruit. Absolutely awesome position out of town which was perfect for us. Plenty of water activities available including snorkeling to see many beautiful fish directly out the front of resort. The private beach was perfect to laze around in the afternoons and watch sunset.

Miinukset: Lovely swimming pool not being used at all. I tried a couple of times but the chlorine was just too strong. Luckily we were right on the beach and able to use this. Wifi only worked in Beach Front Rooms and public areas not rooms behind.

Plussat: Coco Beach Resort was a nice stay. The staff were super friendly and kind. The meals at their restaurants were delicious. Great little getaway for couples. As a single traveler, I would suggest a bigger resort as this is quite romantic and private.

Miinukset: The location - I didn't realise the distance between the resort and the main town center. Also the Vale doesn't have any mosquito screen between the bathroom and the bedroom so mosquitoes have a field day at night. The garden staff don't always offer privacy as they can work in the gardens which are right b y the vales and sometimes it uncomfortable when they walk by.

Plussat: Beautiful, quite location at the beach. Great snorkel spots right off the beach and free gear such as snorkels, kayaks and SUP. Friendly and very helpful staff.

Miinukset: Location is about 15min away from Port Vila and there is not much around it. You need to organise transport, local bus or watertaxi to get anywhere (very easy and cheap though).

Plussat: Right on the beach

Plussat: Fantastic location, lovely snorkeling and water front area, lovely staff and the manager has a great personality with plenty of stories plus super accommodating to our needs! Great stay and would highly recommend! Thank you Coco Beach for making our stay so amazing!

Plussat: Perfect spot

Miinukset: Not a thing
