"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."
"If you are looking for something different to a standard hotel/resort and adults only, then this is the place for you. The rooms were clean and simple beach huts without wifi or tv - we were on the beach so the view was amazing. Wifi is available in the resort public areas so you could still get your internet/phone fix when needed. The facilities were also simple but well managed and even with only 1 restaurant the food was amazing and quite varied with specials available every day. Happy Hour with buy 1 get 1 free cocktails was another drawcard and the perfect way to get to know your fellow patrons. All in all we loved the quiet simplicity of this resort and will definitly be back."
"This review is about lack of communication, poor management - poor customer service. This is in no way a reflection on the beautiful Vanuatu staff at all.
We unfortunately were on the island during the fire event which was an emergency event and we were moved to another hotel for 2 nights and then back to Iririki.
The issue was there was no communication that a fire had occurred. No communication about what was happening - we were told to stand in a line and wait to find out where we going. We still hadn’t been told there was a fire or we were being evacuated. We were then made to pay our room tab prior to being booked into emergency accommodation. Only once our account was settled was a hotel organised.
Most phone calls/emails/whatsapp messages went unanswered. No info given about returning. On return power went out again. On and off over next couple of days.
Compensation was essentially refused in terms of refund of price difference from room type booked v room supplied - time wasted - cancelled arrangements/plans -lied to face to face by management. We did get offered dinner and a massage as comp but on check out this was on bill. then had to wait to speak to the manager who was on a day off to get approved again. So out of 6 days- 2 days wasted - 1.5 days of a 3 day car hire wasted - hours spent arguing with managers. Spent the best part of 4 days in tears. Great way to celebrate my husbands 60th birthday and retirement celebration."
Hostels are a great way to stay for a good value, so you can save more for fun things to do. The island views create an appealing natural setting, and you can enjoy attractions like the waterfront.
