Fatumaru Lodge is a hidden gem! About 10-15 minute walk from the main strip of shops and right on the water which was lovely. Only downside was the wifi/tv being pretty unreliable, but really not important in a beautiful place like Vanuatu!

Beautiful lodge with pool and beach access

Beautiful, semi-secluded lodge still walking distance to restaurants and Port Vila central district. The decor is just right and the balcony a huge perk. Nice kitchenette too. All in all, a good place to spend a few nights. Note: the upper bedrooms have an open upper wall in the toilet/bathroom, so there is little "noise" privacy if travelling with a companion. Something to keep in mind if this is a concern for you.

I loved staying at the lodge. It is close to a lot of Port Villa's attractions and town. Lovely staff and facilities. My only issue was the hot water. I only managed 2 days out of 7 to get one. The weather was warm but not warm enough for a cold shower. I would still stay again at the lodge but would hope the hot water system will improve.

This was a small boutique hotel, fairly quiet and nice views over the lagoon. The room was clean and the bed extremely comfortable, unfortunately we had several power outages through out our stay, at times became very difficult for my daughter and 12 week old baby especially in the evenings. It also interfered each time with the tv so ended up with no Netflix, which we only watched at bed time. The pool was nice a few mosaic tiles missing on the steps, but nice and clean. The decking around the pool in areas needs attention as a little unsafe. It was a shame that the wooded louvre doors didn’t have mosquito netting on so we could have the slats open at night. The staff were helpful

Not posh enough to be so pricey

If you are traveling with a lot of luggage, be sure to arrange for a taxi. There is a steep, tight turn that many transports are not able to make, including the pick-up to return to the airport. The night guard was very helpful, but it was difficult to get all of our suitcases up to the turn-off for the early morning airport pick up. There was no mosquito net on the single bed for our daughter and the balcony was unscreened. We all three slept in the King size bed (which was quite comfortable). There were only 2 towels, and since we came late and left early, we could not request another. The shower dripped all night long. We had a late arrival and appreciated the flexibility of staff to help us out with that. Our quick overnight was probably not adequate to give a fair trial, but we were not so positively impressed that we feel compelled to return.

We absolutely loved our stay at Fatumaru Lodge—a perfect base for our family holiday in Vanuatu. The room was spacious and well-equipped, with cooking facilities, a proper fridge and freezer (a big plus with kids!), and plenty of room to relax. The view from our room was stunning—sparkling water by day, beautiful sunsets from the sundeck by night. It was peaceful, picturesque, and felt like our own slice of paradise. It’s also in a super convenient location—an easy walk to local cafes and restaurants, with a bus stop right outside if you want to head into town. Friendly staff, a relaxing vibe, and everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We’d absolutely recommend Fatumaru Lodge to any family visiting Port Vila!

Fatumaru Lodge was a wonderful safe haven in Vanuatu. We explored the island a lot including going over to Irikiri Island and Hideaway Island and each time were so much happier with our accomodation at Fatumaru Lodge. Key benefits: - very peaceful and quiet. You rarely hear staff or other guests - extremely roomy. We had the 2 bedroom and felt like it had lots of space. - very strong air conditioning - very comfy beds - great outdoor balcony for drying clothes and catching last of the sun - beautiful sunsets - the pool is the perfect temperature and very clean - the location is amazing. Easy walk to a tiny complex which has a food court massage bakery, and then walkable to Banyan Beach bar and main port villa town is about 18 mins from accomodation - staff are helpful and friendly. They helped us book taxis answer questions and never felt overbearing Our stay at Fatumaru Lodge was definitely the best part of our Vanuatu trip.

Fatumaru Lodge exceeded our expectations! it is tucked away in a quite area off the main road, walking distance to the local shops, cafes, markets and other Port Vila must see's. The staff were always friendly, accommodating, and made us feel very at home. The resort is getting constant upgrades and you can tell a lot of work has been put into it and continues to - what was surprising was the lush and well maintained gardens around the resort - so lovely, and it was so tidy - and our view was next level, we had such a great stay and made some great memories, thank you!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The review for the hotel is decidedly mediocre. The property is in a state of disrepair, and while we were given a renovated room—meaning the kitchen appliances were new—the rest of the room was nothing special. The bathroom was in extremely poor condition, with one side of the toilet seat broken off. It looked like it hadn’t been properly cleaned in a long time. The bathroom was in barely acceptable condition, clearly not renovated for many years. The sinks and shower were completely clogged with limescale, making it nearly impossible for water to drain. We reported the lack of Internet on the first day, yet it wasn’t fixed until our departure on the final day. The staff didn’t seem to care and barely acknowledged our complaint. The pool was out of service, and there was an overwhelming amount of dirt throughout the area. Trash was left lying around, and it felt like no one bothered to clean it up. On our last day, they began renovating the roof, resulting in constant noise and chaos. We were promised a welcome drink, but despite asking, it never materialized; our inquiry was completely ignored. The cleaning service was subpar, with towels left drying on the office roof. Room cleaning was a joke—one piece of paper that fell on the floor stayed in the exact same spot until we returned. The whole place felt neglected and poorly managed. This hotel clearly operates on its own flawed rules, and I would not recommend it to anyone.
