Mariner Apartments were excellent in every way - the staff were friendly and so helpful, and nothing was too much to ask. The location was ideal, in the heart of Port Vila and so close to bars, restaurants, grocery stores, etc. and we were able to park our hire vehicle onsite with ease. The addition of washer and dryer was greatly appreciated, but all of the amenities and inclusions were great. Thank you to Elliot and his team at Mariner Apartments - we will be back!

Definitely stay there, it’s great.

I would 100% go back and stay there again. It was nice to have a place that was so friendly, clean, comfortable and central. It was also nice to know that Elliot was willing to help us out on the island even when we had left his hotel. We spent 4 nights there and it was incredible. We could walk into town, it was quiet in the room, air con was on when we arrived and the wifi there is actually good. Then when we left at 4:30am to head to the airport Elliot surprised us there with breakfast and juice because he knew everything was shut and we’d be hungry. What an absolute legend.

This property only has a pool and no any other facilities. There is no convenient near by beach. I would recommend people to spend a bit extra money and go to a place where swimming and snorkeling is available.

Really enjoyed our stay here. Super close to town, so walking to tourist shopping or grocery shopping is only minutes away. Great views over the Water Front to Iririki Island. Self contained accommodation with separate bedrooms was great and had everything required to look after yourself if that's what you want. Staff were friendly and helpful.
