We had a great stay and super impressed by the attentive staff and spotless clean all of the time. Only one thing we'd have liked was a hot meat selection included with breakfast.
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.
Great service at the 24 hour front desk. Pool and bar are good. Rooms are dated but kept very well, AC works great. Perfect location.

Clean rooms, good central location, friendly staff and reasonably priced. While it may not have the views of the water it is comfortable and accessible recommend for those who intend on undertaking activities during the day and need a comfortable and quiet place to sleep.

The staff are excellent. The breakfast is delicious.
Had a 4 night stay, and found it a good place to stay if you avoid the casino at the front. Walkable into town, helpful staff, decent rooms, nice pool.
Rooms are very clean and have all of the essentials.The staff are very friendly and always ready to help their customers.

Arranging airport transfers via Expedia’s messaging portal was a failure. Hotel quoted a price via the portal that I confirmed, but no one showed up at the airport. Had to pay much more for a taxi. Hotel staff didn’t have an explanation as to why the transfer wasn’t scheduled. At check in I requested a return transfer be scheduled on my departure day. They took my flight info and said to just confirm it the day before. When I went the day before to confirm they had no record of my request. The rooms are comfortable. Soap and shampoo supplied. Had a full kitchen but didn’t use it. The pools look well kept with plenty of seats but some of the walkways going to the rooms are in need of repair. Overall location is good. A short 10-15 minute walk to downtown waterfront restaurants and public market. They have an on-site Italian restaurant, Casa Mia. Waitress said I could sit anywhere but after doing so and getting comfortable, napkin on my lap, was then asked if I could move to a different table. They shouldn’t tell someone they can sit anywhere if they don’t mean it. That said, the food was delicious.
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.
