My sister and I really enjoyed staying at Lagoon Gardens. It felt like a home away from home. The staff were so friendly and made you feel welcome. I liked the kayaking and the breakfasts overlooking the lagoon. Transport was easy to get to and the staff supported us with booking transport when needed. As two girls travelling alone not once did we feel unsafe. Thank you to Morgan the owner and staff for taking car of us and making us feel so welcome! This was definitely the best location for us to stay when we visited Efate. We'll definitely stay here again!

Property is really dated and basic and needs some maintenance and deep cleaning. It’s cheap though, so you get what you pay for. It‘s far from the city centre and there‘s literally nothing around. The hotel next door has a small restaurant, there‘s a chinese take away (inadvisable) and supermarket a 10 min walk down the street and that‘s it. TV has no program. Our room had missing window pieces and the mosquito nets on the outside were broken too, so had a lot of ants, flies and bugs inside the room - I highly recommend to bring repellant and/or a mosquito net for the bed (there wasn’t one in the room) for calm nights. There was also no remote for the AC, so you need to keep the windows open anyways. No shampoo and bodywash provided. The owners and their staff ladies were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. Breakfast consists of coffee/tea, toast, eggs and some fruits - nothing special but tasty and totally fine PLUS you‘re sitting just next to the lagoon in the morning, which was our highlight everyday. Would recommend it for a short stay but it‘s really too quiet, dated and basic for a longer holiday. We were happy to leave after 6 nights.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Everything was very basic. the shower was terrible, not good flow of water. the privacy of bathroom was very much compromised. The mosquito net was just for a baby not for the whole bed. The air conditions unit was only for show. The room TV was not connected with arial antenna and the youtube was not connected. The breakfast was very basic. We suggest the owner was not seriously running the property. Therefore, we left it on 25th of July and expect some money to be refunded to us. The owner also agreed for refund if you allow them. Thank you. Regards, Pradip

The lagoon view was gorgeous! I arrived at midnight, do I didn't know what I would see when I woke up. The staff was just awesome ❤️ Even with the time of crisis (series of earth quakes), they went over and beyond all expectations. They became my friends, my overseas family. I really hope to see you again and explore the beautiful country. Thank you ❤️

Nice, basic accommodation

Nice spot to base yourself to explore Efate! The included breakfast was really tasty (toast, fruit, coffee and eggs or pancakes for our two days). It was good to learn that you can use their kitchen to prepare your own meals as there is no restaurant on site. There is a supermarket and more accommodation serving meals within walking distance. Our room was above the reception, so there was a bit of noise from downstairs as we sat on the balcony at night time, but couldn't hear it once inside the room with the door shut.

We arrived in the dark and spent 10 minutes trying to find reception. Lighting was poor and we needed to turn on phone torches to see. We arrived around 7 pm to find they had no restaurant, however they did ring the resort next door and we walked up there for dinner. We only had one night so probably hard to rate the rest. Staff were helpful and rooms were well appointed as far as what they had in them.

Clean and comfortable octagonal bungalow, set amongst natural gardens so feels secluded and private. Spacious toilet and shower room. Small kitchenette with microwave, toaster, kettle, fridge etc. Cutlery but curiously little in the way of crockery. Wall mounted TV (not utilised) Air conditioning, ceiling fan and mosquito net over bed. Small but clean swimming pool for guests use. Gripes....few, but significant. Restaurant permanently closed but this fact not disclosed on website when booked; noisy dogs barking through the night (second of two); close call with failure of property's arrangement of transport for 7am international flight (2500VT) - rescued by owner roused from bed to drive us there himself.

The location of the Resort on the channel between No1 and No2 lagoons is just incredible. At the moment the Resort only has 6 rooms and is an Adult Only Resort and unfortunately it suffered some substantial damage from the Earthquake last year so the Owner is currently trying to build 3 more rooms along with carrying out repairs from the Quake but none of this impacted on our time there. From all my overseas travels over the last 40 years, this is the first time I have ever felt like a review was deserved. The view of the Lagoon from the Balconies of the 2 Lagoon View rooms is to die for and the sunsets across the water are spectacular
