We arrived at Port Vila as a cruise destination and took a local taxi to show us the sights. We ended up at Tara Beach resort .... the snorkeling is absolutely fantastic. We owe the Taxi driver big time for taking us there. We have snorkeled on a few of the islands and can't wait to get back to Tara... More

We stayed a Tara Beach for 10 days, and can only say the whole experience was fantastic, with Eric,Sala Lulu and Cristina and Thomas and Vincent we became one of the family, we were happy to learn that this was the only resort that was owned and operated by locals and not by ex pats. Despite a few hiccups nothing... More

This was our second post Christmas break at Tara - in 2011 we got cheap flights with friends and then booked our accommodation at Tara Beach on Wotif based on previous reviews (close enough for 4 of us to share a bungalow). We thought we had died and gone to Heaven after waking on the first morning after a late... More

We choose to spend the last three days of our two week holiday at Tara Beach as the location, bungalows and snorkeling looked great. We were not dispapointed, you just walk a few feet from your bungalow (all of which are beachfront) straight out to the sea. We were so well looked after especially given it was over Christmas and...

This was our 2nd visit to Tara Beach Bungalows Resort, and this time it was our honeymoon. We were welcomed back like family. Our Bungalow number 1, was 'Number 1' as Christine will tell you about everything there. The new resort Manager, Eric (the owner's son) is very switched on and if you had a problem with the hot water... More

We had a similar story to many others. We only stayed one night as were only awaiting an early morning flight. We arranged pick up at the airport and no one turned up. The Hot water didn't work, although the bathroom was pretty grotty anyway so not sure i would have used the shower in any case. The whole room... More

This was our 3rd trip to Tara Beach and 4th to Vanuatu, we spent 8 days at Tara and we enjoy it more each time. We stayed in Bungalow 2 this time and again fell asleep to the sounds of the waves. We also hired a car and did a few trips in to town and about the island, although... More

Only stayed one night here as we thought it was close to the Airport. We arranged a airport transfer through hotel... nobody turned up. Caught a local taxi 3000 Vatu or $30. Room was clean but basic. Surrounding grounds also basic don't expect a "resort". It was a rough day so did not snorkel or swim at the beach.
