This was our 4th stay at this hotel, the staff and service is exceptional. This was our first time back in about 5 years and I was a bit disappointed to see the hotel looking pretty tired, the rooms are functional but pretty well worn. It’s been a rough few years for Vanuatu though, so it’s all pretty understandable.

The hotel needs a bit of maintenance and a coat of paint but it looks like nothing is being done to address this. Staff are very helpful and very friendly. There's free spotting equipment including kayaks and a sail boat. There is easy access to town but not much to see or do there. Restaurants in town are totally overpriced bordering on ridiculous .

Fabulous staff at "tired" hotel

Twin-shared room with my beloved daughter as we dealt with the recent loss of a family member. Room was adequate, good space and configuration, in-room aircon and ceiling fan were a god-send. A few problems with door lock (fixed eventually). Hotel staff generally and restaurant staff in particular were fabulous, very caring and attentive. Alot of stairs so may not be ideal for those with mobility issues. Swimming pool was much appreciated too.

We stayed for 8 nights at the Holiday Inn in a resort facing room with a family of 4. The room was very nice and tidy. Good beds and linen. The pillows were a bit soft for our liking but not bad. The room was cleaned every day. The food in the restaurant was great. Good variety and it tasted very good. The Hawaiian pizza was our favourite! The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We were really surprised at how nice all people in Vanuatu were. We travelled with a rental car and got to see a lot of the people and they are amazingly friendly. We will definitely go back to Vanuatu in the future.

Old but nice hotel. Needs bit of work. Food was great, crew too. You can’t swim in lagoon because is infected with some bacteria. Pool is very good. Be ready for long time orders preparing,but that’s on whole island. Prices are too high for food and drinks. Use local drivers for island trips. All tours companies are overpriced. Money change you can do in the city. High percentage for credit cards payments .

Five star service on a budget

Well, what can I say… I was blown away by the total experience that Holiday Inn Vanuatu offered… from the time we checked in, to the gala NYE dinner, to every little request through our 7 day stay. Front office Manager Mayank Kothari ensured our family felt all at home and always greeted us with a smile; no request was ever frowned upon and I know some of the requests made were pushing it. Randy was a great host and was seen everywhere in the resort gracing his infectious smile. Chefs Ram, Aaka and Clinton always made it a point to visit us during meals time permitting of course ensuring all our palates were satisfied. Couldn’t not mention Matilda from front office and Tom - who helped out during a late night emergency for their excellent hospitality. Live music most nights was excellent and set the mood for a wonderful evening. The Malenasian and Curry night with the local performers and fire show was outstanding. Although the rooms were a bit dated and breakfast and lunch options could run out especially with longer stays, I wouldn’t hold it against the joint given the amazing mix of local and expats putting up a great show. Gym can be missed, not worth a visit. Spa is great though. All in all, one of the best holidays we have had in a while, thanks to the wonderful staff at Holiday Inn Vanuatu. We will be back soon to relive the wonderful experience we had last week.

We only stayed 3 nights but our stay was just perfect. Its a beautiful spot and only a short taxi trip to most places. It is getting renovated, but the essentials are still open- pool which most of the time we had to ourselves. Restaurant with beautiful views and great breakfast serve - the thursday chef buffet is definitely recommended. The staff were absolutely amazing my 3 year old loved the attention from all the staff from his babycino in the mornings to his daily catch ups with William (Bill) front of house. A big thank you to William for being such a great host you went that extra mile to help us!

Staff were very friendly and eager to assist. Thank you David for your efforts and friendly can do attitude. Nightly meal options were great but breakfast was not the same standard. Too repetitive and lacked new variety and freshness. We found the lighting extremely dark in the main reception, perhaps due to the renovations. Also we hoped for a kids club to entertain our 10 year old but found it was geared towards toddlers so she wasn't interested. The staff are the hotel's best asset but with half the property being closed at the moment it feels very restrictive with just one pool open. Our room also had a tv that picked up no stations which was disappointing and an interconnecting door with the next room where you could hear their tv and phone conversations . Perhaps after renovations things will improve.

Holiday Inn Resort was a beautiful and quiet stay away from the hustle and noise of Port Vila but still an easy taxi to town. The property was beautiful even with the post cyclone repairs being carried out. There was minimal disruption to our peace and lots of space and included resources. Drink and food onsite were decent too.
