I’ve been traveling to Vanuatu since 2018. I’ve stayed in nearly every “budget,” a bunch of affordable, and a few ritzy spots. This spot for its price cannot be beat. Clean, running water, overly accommodating staff. Seriously, they washed my clothes and offered me a bigger room because it was available.
What set them apart is they refunded me for the first night of my three night stay since I was unable to check in until day two because of a flight delay. And they let me check in at 9am because the room was ready!
Look. Vanuatu is a silly expensive country. I’d say ludicrous at times. This hotel is worth it. Work with the staff and they will ensure you have working A/C, wi-if (given no storms), a bed, and a quiet space in the heart of Vila (which is very hard to find).
Vanuatu MG Cocomo Resort offers Melanesian-style accommodations, located a 5-minute drive from central Port Vila and a 15-minute drive from Port Vila Airport.

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 :)

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.

I NEED ERAKOR CONTACT ME BECAUSE FOR THE CYCLONES THE RESORT WAS DAMAGE WITH NOT WATER AND ELECTRICITY.
I PAYED BEFORE TRAVEL AND I NEED TO KNOW IF THEY GOING TO REFUND ME THE MONEY OR GIVE ME CREDIT.
PLEASE CONTACT ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!
Location is very good for those who like to be away from town, away from noise (like me),
but you require a car or truck due to the distance from town.
The 3-bedroom apartment is clean and comfortable !
The place is very quiet.
Good place to stay when travelling with kids (or friends) as price is much cheaper than staying at a hotel.
The apartment is full furnished including washing machine / fridge & possibility to make BBQ on the terrasse.
Place was not easy to be found but we had a good welcome on arrival !
Moorings hotel was a highlight on our holiday. The staff is very friendly and welcoming, the food and cocktails are great and the facilities lead straight into the lovely swimming pool with ocean view. The buffet breakfast is simple but the home-made pancakes give it that special touch. There is always the option of add ons. Great value for money.
The atmosphere was lively and it's a short walk to the centre and the markets.
We will be returning to Moorings hotel whenever we visit Vanuatu in the future!
Exceptional hotel. Very comfortable room, great amenities both in the room and on the hotel grounds. Well equipped kitchen gives travelers with special dietary needs all the comforts of home.
The hotel is right on the beach overlooking Port Vila Harbor. Great location for a tropical resort. Relaxing views from the room and veranda (if you're fortunate enough to get a beach front room). If you're planning a trip to Port Vila the Ramada is a great choice.
A beautiful location, and our family of 4 stayed in a beach front villa that was stunning. The food was fabulous, and our teenagers certainly appreciated the extensive breakfast buffet. Fabulous snorkelling, heaps of kayaks available and the island was beautiful to walk around. Pool was good and had a spectacular view. Free boat to and from Port Vila 24/7 was a bonus, and we stocked up on snacks at the local supermarket.
The owner family of the property made me very welcome and became like family to me. They included me in local expatriate (European) life and activities. They made my 70th birthday about the best birthday that I have had, with their generosity and company. They brought single backpacker guests together and that made for the highlight of the trip to Vanuatu.
We felt we were so welcomed from our arrival. The staff at the hotel to a person could not have been more accommodating personable and just plain nice throughout our stay. And thus from check in to check out. Nothing was any problem for them. The accommodation location etc was spot on. I would recommend anyone to choose this hotel for a visit yo Vanuatu.
Amazing service. Petter and Anne are so wonderful and the staff was friendly and accommodating as well. The food is INCREDIBLE -- the best food we had in Vanuatu, by far. The property is lovely and comfortable. The shower pressure and hot water was perfect every time. The views are spectacular and the dives were great. Can't recommend enough!!
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
The lodge is a comfortable in house (BNB / Backpacker style) shared accomodation. It’s close to town and perfectly suited our ni-Vanuatu family and friends staying in town, rather than doing the round island commute each day.
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.
