What a location

We stayed here for 8 nights and found it to be very clean with friendly and helpful staff, It is only 5 minutes walk to town with some rooms overlooking the harbour, so you can watch the cruise ships come and go. The breakfast is basic but satisfying. The pool is huge and a perfect temperature. The rooms are a good size and the beds very comfortable. We had an aircon room which made things a bit more comfortable at night. Most people staying there seemed to be business people which meant a lack of kids which made our stay enjoyable and pleasurable

A nice place to stay

I had booked a cheaper room with a fan and it was quite acceptable. As I'd seen nicer rooms on my way in I upgraded to a room with air-con. I was only there for 1 night but it was a very pleasant place to stay.

Full kitchen but basic accommodation

Executive Suite is a bit better than the standard room but not by much, still fairly basic. Internet is available but only with a cable so make sure you have an adapter if your laptop is not compatible. It is nice that the hotel provides all of the cooking utensils needed to cook meals from the market and grocery.

The Basics are covered

Fairly basic accommodation option in Vila. It has everything you need but no bells and whistles. Not idea for a business visit as there is no wifi in the rooms, only in the pool area and reception which close at 10pm so if you have to work late you will be hanging outside with the mosquitos on the benches.

Only stayed one night as we arrived late from Brisbane and we didn't want to drive in the dark on roads we don't know on the other side of the road. The accommodation suited our purpose well as the room was clean and the price good.

Arrived early and were able to leave luggage whilst room prepared. Stayed 2 nights at start of holiday so we saw town and hired car- chose of 4 hire companies close-by. Atm machine at nearby supermarkets. Great views from the balcony. Felt secure with security man at entrance. Lovely breakfast next to pool. Spent last night at motel before flight home. Breakfast brought to our room. Large unit for 4 - comfortable beds and spotlessly clean. Excellent value.

Good location, great staff, mediocre rooms

The location was nice for our family since it is near the Leader Price and Au Bon Marché supermarkets and is an easy walk to a few restaurants. The minibusses come by consistently so getting a ride down into town isn't a problem if you don't feel like walking. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful and gave our baby lots of attention and space when requested. The rooms are so-so (a bit outdated and basic), but there aren't many other options if you want a 2-bedroom with a kitchen so they'll do. The pool is nice and the internet (wired) is fast considering it's Vanuatu. WiFi is available but we didn't try (pay) for it. Can't comment on the restaurant but it looks to be pretty basic.

The management and staff made my stay very pleasurable. Although a bit tired, the rooms were very clean and the staff were just so helpful and caring. I could easily walk into town and the tour operators came to the hotel to pick me up and drop be off later. The reception staff were extremely helpful in helping me to select and organise tours.

C'est un hôtel vieillissant. Des travaux de réfection s'imposent notamment au niveau des chambres. Les meubles, les lits et le canapé ont besoin d'être changés. La salle de bain aussi a besoin de sang neuf. C'est dommage car l'hôtel est plutôt bien placé par rapport au centre ville. L'espace cafétéria et la piscine ont été refait : cet espace est super !!!
