Amazing, Amazing, Amazing

Reviewed By Geoff G

This is what a resort should all be about. Prime location, Friendly staff and guests made to feel at home. There is a relaxing laid back approach where time is island time and for people that travel you know what I mean. The ride from the airport to the resort is part of the experience a bumpy dusty road passing shacks and fields abandoned houses and abounded cars makes you think, OMG where are we going. Then BAM, suddenly out of nowhere the landscape gives way to manicured lawns, swaying palms water features and welcome cocktail drinks all set with postcard-perfect views. The entire team from the GM down to the local handyman have one agenda, and that is is make your stay AMAZING. So many resorts these days, especially in AUS, seem to base the level of service you receive based on the total of your spend. There is nothing too hard for the team from last-minute requests including bonfire dinner on the beach or couples massages the team go above and beyond. Looking forward to booking a flight back here ASAP.

Fantastic Family Holiday

Reviewed By JanetRobertson678

Close to town, lots of water activities in the sea and the pool. Great restaurant with variety of food. Rooms not cramped together. Lots of different places to relax. Our family room was a bit small for 5 of us (2 adults, 3 teenagers) so will get 2 rooms next visit (or another option). Hotel, restaurant, housekeeping and maintenance staff were excellent and very helpful. Excellent value for money.

All bungalows are waterfront with the lagoon just steps away from your private veranda. Enjoy the beauty of staying on a quiet tropical island with easy access to everything off the island, Erakor offers all the facilities of a major resort, but in a relaxed and secluded atmosphere.

Great spot for a kayak from our resort

Reviewed By Bek B

Staying at the resort opposite (Warwick le lagon) and decided to kayak across the lagoon to visit. Lots of fun on the kayaks, made to feel welcome on the island despite not staying there. Snorkeling little murky with not a lot to see aside from starfish and scary slugs however we enjoyed a relaxed couple of hours on the beach with some drinks. Theres a playground etc there which would be great for kids.

Breakas Beach Resort

Nestled amidst swaying palms fringed on it's own private beach, Breakas Beach Resort is an intimate 3.5 Star tropical resort in a 5 star location for adults only welcoming guests over the age of 15 years. Enhanced by individual garden & beachfront Fares (Bungalows), Breakas Beach Resort is the ultimate relaxed "feet in the sand" beach holiday. Slip into a world of tranquility. The Resort features a stunning 22 metre infinity pool which falls into the horizon of the Pacific Ocean. The natural beauty of a private cove on the Pango peninsular provides an unrivalled backdrop in Port Vila. Fares (Bungalows) are scattered along the shoreline and throughout manicured tropical gardens ensuring privacy, intimacy and seclusion. With spectacular views to Port Vila's best surfing beach break, the restaurant provides a unique setting for a unique dining experience. The executive chef has created one of the finest menus using fresh, local produce, seafoods and world class Santo beef and we are famous for our beachside dining with stars above and sand underfoot.... It does not get much better than this.

Fantastic, Adults only resort. Just what we were looking for!

Reviewed By KKAdventures

Although the pool was being renovated when we arrived, the service and extras we received were exceptional. The staff went out of their way to make sure our stay was a comfortable and enjoyable one. They organised our tours, gave us some local tips, and always had a smile on their face. Personally, we enjoyed the fact the resort was quiet, although it meant a few of the evening entertainment events were cancelled (which was understandable). It is basic accommodation but meets all your needs. The outdoor shower is great! The location right on the beach, the smiles on everyone's faces, and the overall vibe of Vanuatu will see us returning again, and again.

I can not wait to be able to travel to Iririki Island Resort and Spa again soon. The moment we can travel, I will be on the first plane. I have missed every bit of the island - the beautiful accomodation, the fresh produce, the tasty cocktails, the most phenomenal kyaking, the Day Spa! The list goes on. It is simply paradise. Until we can travel again, I will keep looking at all my amazing pics from previous trips.

great place

Reviewed By don p

Would have no hesitation recommending this place ,Nasama is a resort that is basically privately own apartments , nice place to chill out , good quality (expensive) restaurant , buses to port Vila pass the front of the resort every few minutes 150 Vatu per person each way , one slight negative though almost all the sand had been washed away from the little beach , not much the resort can do about that , though

fantastic , relaxing friendly

Reviewed By Debbie D

We were a group of 10, heading over for a holiday and wedding. People super friendly, rooms were really good, air con was bonus on the hot days. our room could have done with a little TLC, but nothing to stop us from going again. Wedding planner Soloute( not sure if i spelt right) was awesome, so helpful on wedding day , and great with keeping us up to date with plans, she saved the day. also at the main entrance was Frank for Tanna, he was super friendly and helpful, hope to hear from him one day , we gave him our email to keep in touch. Its because of these 2 people and the friendly staff we would go back to stay.

Reviewed By rimbwet

It's an extraordinary base to remain as it's near to town and a close by court. Staff are dazzling and rooms are fine. Could improve wifi it exits constantly and scarcely interfaces. Pool is overall quite the bar mixed drinks are yum. Breakfast is normal oat, toast and so on Just check your bill at checkout they attempted to charge for the free breakfast and the two evenings we had just paid. Planned to remain two evenings however we remained for our entire stay. Much obliged folks!

Deco Stop Lodge

Situated just a short stoll up the hill from the town centre, the Deco Stop commands one of the very best views in Santo. There you can enjoy the delights from the Narcosis Bar & Restaurant which surrounds the infinity pool. The staff are only too happy to tend your every need and make your stay a memorable one.

Lovely place to base yourself for some Coolidge exploring

Reviewed By LindaWag

This is a great place to stay for a few days or a week to dive the impressive SS President Coolidge wreck. Rooms are with fan or AC if needed, are super clean and spacious. There is a nice deck with pool and view and lots of options to crush down for beer at the end of a day. Breakfast is also plentiful and has fresh fruits and good Tanna coffee. Lunch/dinner is delicious but not cheap. Best is the staff, friendliest and very helpful people. Thanks for a great stay.

Relaxing Trip in Vanuatu

Reviewed By ericeX424TF

We stayed here at Cocomo 3 nights last month. The room was big and clean. Staffs were pleasant, polite and helpful. At the end we booked shuttle bus via resort so could catch up an early flight next morning, it only take 15 minutes to the airport. If you choose a resort in Vanuatu for relaxing, this is a great value!
