"I was in Vanuatu on a work mission, so my reading of the place is different from that of someone traveling purely for leisure. The hotel delivers on being clean, with a view of the lagoon. While Vanuatu still requires significant work in public services, sidewalks, drainage, and so on, none of that is felt inside the hotel. It is a small paradise.
I do think there is some evidence of depreciation, but given the context, it is very acceptable: some limescale in the bathrooms, and a few bathroom fixtures, such as the soap dish, were partly broken. However, everything was functional.
What will stay with me is the magnificent attention from the staff, especially at the restaurant, always smiling and very attentive. I think I will remember opening the doors toward the lagoon, setting up my table, and working with good air conditioning and a sensational view.
Finally, while the restaurant is not Michelin-starred, it delivers, and delivers very well. The food is tasty, creative, and fresh. I left satisfied."
