"A lovely resort on Erakor island. Excellent staff. Lovely rooms with waterfront views. Free water sports. Gorgeous location. Definitely the best place to stay in Efate. "
"Very good sleep comfort...mattress and pillows. Great breakfast menu and other dining options. Friendly reception, office, housekeeping and maintenance staff. Also management Any problems were resolved quickly. Like to return in 2026."
"The breakfast was pretty basic, but basically good enough. There were 4 kayaks, unfortunately 2 were missing storage covers so would likely fill with water. The other 2 did not have these storage areas so we're fine. The water is calm in this area making a paddle most enjoyable.
Being a cyclists I was happy to read they had loaner bikes. I was disappointed to see the biggest of them were bmx type bikes. Better than nothing though so i checked them out to find some were missing parts, had flat...
"Everything worked like clockwork. We left some of our luggage 1 week ahead of our stay as we were flying to other islands and there were restrictions on the amount of luggage. The Melanesian hotel allowed us to store our luggage until our arrival! That’s great customer service. The room was clean, large, and comfortable!"
"Absolutely stunning jungle/ river property, lush and green. The large house is very spacious. It was comfortable in the July weather. Plenty of room and beds for our family of 6. Property is off grid so some issues with hot water that were rectified. We’re told we would have daily house keeping, which didn’t happen once, but we were ok with the washing machine. If we had asked, I’m sure it would have been provided. Accessing the tours and using the river was a highlight for our family.

"The staff are simply beautiful. All amenities are reflected accordingly in their description. New cabins being built which will be exciting for people travelling there shortly. Chef John is awesome! You MUST have his croissants for breakfast. Make sure to pat ‘Lucky’ the cat, he is adorable "
"Great location, very clean room, welcoming staff. Absolutely recommended for travellers looking to save $ on accommodation and spend more on attractions and adventures."
"Absolutely fantastic stay! The staff are friendly and helpful - great customer service! The bungalows are well setup and the lagoon view and private pool just took it to the next level, definitely worth it. The resort restaurant has a great range for each meal and the cocktails fit the vibe perfectly. Highly recommend staying at Mangoes - 12/10! "
"Quiet, peaceful, but exceptionally good value. Continental breakfast provided was not great, but we had cooking facilities and it was easy to buy some eggs and bacon. And we brought our own coffee. So all good. Restaurant not fast but food was always very good. And staff always very friendly and helpful. "
