Our trip was a bit of a roller coaster , but overall we enjoyed our time there .
Highlights , 83 islands distillery tour was awesome . Mele beach bar great food , awesome staff and location and the fire show on Friday nights fantastic . Kids can swim at the beach , have a feed and watch the shoe -A+ . The markets were awesome as usual .
Low lights . We’ve been going to Vanuatu for over 20 yrs , and our recent trip to the cascades saddened us and emptied our wallets .
The current owners havnt maintained the place and the entry fee is extortion . The roads are next level knarly All 3 of our airport transfers were no shows which was disappointing but not the end of the world .
The people of Vanuatu are why we come back every time . They really are the friendliest people on earth .
Special shout out to Gideon and his family from Havanah eco lodge .
They treated us like family and we had a great time over there .

Port Villa is heaven on earth, I have been there 3 times and will always go back, with all the natural disasters this island goes through people are still so friendly and happy all the time, they live a simple life and always have a reason to smile, i strongly advise visiting the locals as it much better than staying in the resorts, the rivers , lagoons and beachs are surreal and its all so clean, the locals will always say hello and help you with anything you need.
There are plenty of taxis to go around, I would stay away from resorts for food and go into town as the resorts are extremely expensive and the town prices are so much cheaper.

Fresh food and souvenir markets were very well maintained.
Fresh food and souvenir markets were very well maintained. Indeed the waterfront esplanade area was attractive apart from the toilets behind the stage set up for MAC festival which had a $1.00 AU entry fee. Our trip on the coral viewing boat was worthwhile. The Museum was a great disappointment especially given the high entry fee and the seeming lack of curatorial care in presenting historical perspectives such as WW2 events and impacts of colonisation.

The local people were great: friendly, helpful and polite.
The local people were great: friendly, helpful and polite. There were good restaurants, particularly the Waterfront Bar and Grill. It was easy to get a taxi or bus on the street, but asking the hotel to get you a taxi may result in a long wait for their preferred driver to arrive.
We heard several stories from disappointed people who booked resorts where there was nothing to do and had ferry charges to get back to the mainland.

The accommodation is very easy to approach and can move all over Port Vila very easily. The owner of Dwellery and her family is amazing and they let you feel at home. It was fabulous experience staying at Janessa's Dwellery. The place is not a luxury place but hospitality and support for all the things is exceptional. The staff guides very nicely to arrange tours on your own. Highly recommended place to stay. Last but not least the breakfast is also satisfying.
The rooms and the hotel grounds are wonderful. Rooms are well-equipped, comfy and spacious. The grounds are delightful, with fabulous ocean views. We weren't lucky with the weather, and it was very windy and quite cool but it was still a very pleasant stay. The food at both restaurants was all great, although very pricey like anywhere in Vanuatu. We enjoyed breakfast and tried something different each day - everything was delicious and fresh.
We were in Vanuatu for 4 days, the hotel is a perfect place to stay in Port Vila very close to the city center and the beach, the staff of the hotel is so kind and perfect they help you for everything.
The food of the breakfast is delicious and cooked by William so good. I wanted to thank the person again for his kindness :)
The breakfast buffet was temporarily replaced by an a la carte menu (apparently due to the recent cyclones) however they would provide items not on the menu, if you asked. Were told by the hotel beforehand that hot water was not reliable (again, due to cyclones) but it was fine. Staff were typically excellent.
The location is between the airport and the center of Port Vila. It lies at the main street, so you can easily catch a bus in both directions, while it is still quite in the night. Beth is awesome. She was super helpful with everything, even got me a taxi for the day for a tour around the island.
Staffs there are so friendly, kind and helpful!! They arranged to make tour company to pick me up and arranged airport transfer for me!! Rosan is one of the amazing staffs there❣️ she cooked breakfast for me and gave me advices to enjoy exploring Port Vila! Was so lovely stay!!
Wonderful experience, location, grounds and staff. The owners Mark and Constance are welcoming and have local knowledge to help you enjoy your stay.
I highly recommend this resort for your holiday in Vanuatu..I really can’t say enough about our stay, absolutely perfect
Location was great--just up the hill from the beach and a short walk into town. It was also just up the hill from Moorings Hotel where I had stayed earlier with a tour group so I knew I could hang out there and use their wifi because Room with a View had zero wifi.
The hotel is well-located, close to the airport (which means cheaper taxi fares), walking distance to the city center and has some nice restaurants around. Rooms have A/C and hot water. The staff is really nice. Rooms have mosquito nets, but they have some holes.
Excellent breakfast selection, we loved the made to order omelettes, although the pastries were a little dry.
Room was a great size, plenty of space and big balcony with lovely view. Easy walk to supermarket, access to buses and Port Vila town (20 mins walk)
The managers at the hotel were very friendly and were very happy to accommodate us. The location itself was very nice and was great for kayaking. Would be good if you wanted something outside of town and didn’t want to be in Port Vila.
Great location only 10min walk from Port Vila city centre. Spacious and comfortable room with kitchenette, ocean view and access for paddle boards and kayaks almost directly from the deck of our room. Helpful staff.
