Hotels in Matao Tiupeniu

"Loved our 9 nights here. Stayed in a beach view studio room. It was huge. Great kitchen with enough to cook up sausages in a fry pan and cook some 2 minute noodles or macaroni (stovetop and microwave). Full size fridge too. The housekeeping was second to none, those ladies are working around the clock to sweep and mop each room daily. My room was always made up perfectly. Breakfast had heaps of choices but my son preferred to eat in our room so we had toast on half the mornings in our room! 3pigs for dinner was great too, my son is still talking about taco Tuesday. Pool area is nice and quiet, no service or music around the pool which we liked, very tranquil. Was quite cold, so my son wore his wetsuit - but it was great when the sun was out. If you have little ones you may want to bring your own life jacket as the pool is pretty deep. The kids pool is about 30cm deep so my 4 year old didn’t like that- great for babies. The beach area, we loved exploring the rocks and coral. Saw starfish, and snorkelled in that cut out and saw a few fish which was cool. Heaps of hermit crabs on the sand/rocks area. We stayed in room 111 which is on the right side if you are Looking at the ocean. On the opposite side it backs onto the village and the church proceedings on a Sat and Sunday were pretty loud, but from our side we could hardly hear it. Great place to base yourself to do touring and have some chill quiet days. Would stay again. "

"The Iririki hotel is a jewel in the ocean. People, welcome you with an authentic smile. Food is the best of the south pacific Islands. Show is the most spectacular fire dancing you could ever see."

"We stayed there on our first trip to vanuatu and loved the resort, we stayed in a overwater suite and it was stunning, staff are very friendly and helpful. Daily breakfast was great with a huge selection. Only negative was the "happy hour" at the swim up bar because the second it started 2 of the 3 bar staff disappeared meaning in that hr we only got served once but that's the only fault. Highly recommend this resort"
