Efate Hotels with balcony

We stayed at Tamanu for 4 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The room was cozy and beautifully maintained, offering a perfect space to relax. The staff were exceptionally helpful and welcoming throughout our stay. Fiona and Anthony did a fantastic job managing the resort — their attention to detail and warm hospitality really stood out. A special thank you to Anthony, who went above and beyond by personally returning our wallet after we accidentally left it behind in the room. We are truly grateful for such kindness and care. Highly recommend Tamanu for anyone looking for a memorable and stress-free getaway!

The amazingly lovely smiling friendly & efficient staff at the Beachfront Apts definitely make the stay worthwhile. Aside from that the location away from the main tourist hub areas of Port Vila allows for more relaxation & enjoyment of the gorgeous beach which is totally safe for swimming among locals & sweet dogs. Every Friday just a few steps away is a fantastic fireshow put on by the Beach Bar which also has very good food. Mele Bay area is so nice that we extended from 3 to 10 days! To get to the town of Port Vila simply walk a couple hundred metres to the main road, flag down a passing minivan with “B’ on the front plate, state your destination & pay about $2 when you get off. On a food note it’s a bit of a walk along Devil’s Road to get to Island Magic Resort but it’s so worth it to eat at Birdie’s Restaurant! The locals are super nice along the way, calling out “Good night” as you pass them in the dark on the potholed road. A stay here is highly recommended!

The hotel surroundings are beautiful, and the staff are very welcoming. Although you need to take a ferry to reach the hotel, it's quite convenient, with 24-hour hot water and boat transfers available.

The hotel is conveniently located in the city center. The hotel does not provide meals, but the rooms have kitchens, microwaves, gas stoves, ovens and double-door refrigerators. You can cook by yourself, and there is a supermarket within 5 minutes of going out, with all kinds of ingredients. You can eat outside if you don’t like cooking. There are several Chinese restaurants nearby, all of which are cheap and good. The hotel also has a swimming pool, Port Vila is hotter, and you can swim outdoors all year round.

Friendly and helpful staff. The furniture is old and needs to be updated. Hot water is unstable, it was often necessary to rinse with cold water. A broken clock hung on the wall, which was very annoying. At night, small lizards run along the walls inside the bedroom and the ceiling, which made sounds, which is also not pleasant to hear at night. The pillows are long and hard. Dirt accumulated in the washing machine in the tank, which did not wash, but, on the contrary, stained the washed clothes.

We had a great stay in a studio apartment. Very spacious and a nice breakfast delivered to the room each morning. Staff are very friendly and it's a short walk to a big supermarket. Port Vila seafront was about a 20 minute walk.

The location is very convenient to many attractions. The staff was friendly. The room is spacious but it would be better if there was any shampoo or body wash

Great, quiet place with secluded location on the lagoon. The place has very friendly staff, in-house cafe + paddle boats and kayaks for use on the lagoon. The room we stayed at had the kitchen, which was very convenient, but also a few big roaches, which wasn’t as clean as I would like it to be. Other than that, it was a great stay.

Pros: Convenient- very near the airport for 150VT ~ 250VT Can walk to a nearby national bank to exchange local currency Close to a cafe (too hot) Can checkout late until lunch for free~500VT/hr Tour operators know this place and can request pickup/dropoff here Kind staff and manager Cons: Need to pay 1K VT for AC (the type of room I booked) Soap only, no other toiletries 20 mins walk to mall for restaurants Cash only

This hotel was perfect for my one night in Port Vila. The room was clean and comfy and they helped me with airport transfer even when my flight was last minute. The staff went above and beyond to help me and make sure I was looked after. Would 100% recommend staying here to anyone!
