Quiet. Accessible transportation. Self content rooms. Kitchen. Owners of the property are very friendly. The view is magical. The green surrounding with the lagoon view is priceless.
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay the Hotel. Very reasonable price. Pool area was very nice and quiet. Really nice little area over the water to relax. The hotel owner is a gem, had a great conversation with him.
Small and pleasant resort. Friendly staff, easy communication. Enjoyable breakfast. The grounds are very well maintained and have incredible gardens. I highly recommend it for a few days in Vanuatu.
Hotel looks nothing like it’s advertised. It’s tired, untidy & limited services. Terms said they allowed changes (forfeiting one night stay - which is fair) but hotel refused refund remaining days of stay (moved to hotel next door). Expedia were not much better and did not meet the advertised terms but in the end gave us a small refund. Do not recommend as terms are not kept by either hotel or Expedia
A Hidden Gem! The Lagoon Gardens was amazing! Our hosts Morgan and Annika welcomed us like family and delivered an experience like no other.
This time at the Lagoon Gardens shaped our great experience in Vanuatu! We are looking forward to recommending this place to our friends.
The waterfront views with kayaking was great. Beautiful jungle vibe with the swimming pool oasis added a special touch. Thanks to Morgan, Annika, and Mary for a great stay!

Lovely location on the lagoon and the walkways are a Garden of Eden. Rooms are huge with good air con, fan and kitchen facilities. Youtube movies available on large screens in each room and the staff couldnt be more helpful.
Breakfast is good, but theres no other meal options unless you walk to another nearby lagoon resort.
My sister and I really enjoyed staying at Lagoon Gardens. It felt like a home away from home. The staff were so friendly and made you feel welcome. I liked the kayaking and the breakfasts overlooking the lagoon. Transport was easy to get to and the staff supported us with booking transport when needed. As two girls travelling alone not once did we feel unsafe.
Thank you to Morgan the owner and staff for taking car of us and making us feel so welcome!
This was definitely the best location for us to stay when we visited Efate. We'll definitely stay here again!
Lovely peaceful little guest house. Highly recommend.

The garden setting with pathways is beautiful. The cottages are spacious with a small little outside sitting area. The property is dated and although clean and tidy is in need of refreshing and updating. Breakfast was included and was good. But otherwise not a restaurant on premises. For the price and a one night stay it was enjoyable. Would not plan to stay long term.
The lagoon view was gorgeous! I arrived at midnight, do I didn't know what I would see when I woke up.
The staff was just awesome ❤️
Even with the time of crisis (series of earth quakes), they went over and beyond all expectations. They became my friends, my overseas family.
I really hope to see you again and explore the beautiful country.
Thank you ❤️
Perfect stay in Port Vila. Beautiful gardens, lovely view from the rooms of the lagoon, the owners were really friendly and so helpful, felt right at home. And a great breakfast included to top it off! Would stay again and recommend :)
Our stay at this property was unforgettable. The staff were lovely and the environment was so homely!! I would recommend this resort to create unforgettable memories in Port Vila
