The Melanesian Port Vila

It’s a very relaxed place. It is clean and has everything you need. Staff are friendly. Kids loved the pool and the bar is really convenient for drinks and food. Breakfast was decent too with lots of fresh fruit, bread, cereals and a small amount of hot food. Really enjoyed the Sunday night cultural show and buffet – would definitely recommend booking in for this. The location is excellent. Walkable to markets,  local restaurants, supermarket and Iririki Island jetty (if you’d like to spend a day there for beach and snorkelling). Also, a short bus ride to restaurants, markets and tourist attractions further afield. Hotel is on a main road (but not noisy at all), so hailing the local buses was super easy (the ‘buses’ are ridden with other passengers but are essentially private vans where you offer around 100-150 vatu per person - more for longer trips). A quick recommendation for the family fire show at Banyan Bar (about 2kms away) on Saturday nights from 7pm – great atmosphere, food and drinks.

Hotel was very family friendly. The atmosphere of the restaurant during breakfast was superb. The room was very spacious. The Sunday evening buffet with the cultural music performance lit up the atmosphere. The buffet food was delicious. Vanuatu beef is the best.

The room was comfortable, the staff members welcoming and very accommodating. The Melanesian Cultural show was great value and a thoroughly enjoyable evening.

Central but unfortunately not much happening in the centre since the earthquake. Easy to catch the local bus.

Our room was spacious and very clean, and the staff are warm and very friendly. Pool area is lovely. The restaurant Casa Mia very good for breakfast and dinner. Great location within walking distance to town.
