We originally looked at another property, but were extremely happy with our choice, has recently has alot of work done it, the staff were very friendly & cheerful. The rooms were clean, and in good repair. Breakfast was very good, lots of things to choose from and staff also cook in front of you which my kids loved.

Overall a great stay

We just arrived after a 7 day stay at Port Vila ,Holiday inn.We loved it ,it was the best place for kids and we were upgraded to a Family suite which had Play station 3 (inclisive of my sons favorite game,cars 2!!!).The lagoon and the Pool side is their biggest assest and also the great Customer service provided by the staff. We found Port Vila to be a very friendly and genuine place, compared to some destinations that tries to rip off their tourists.The weather was not the best but The hotel stay was!!!
PS : Food at the resort was was excellent!!!

.....That hasnt already been said in recent reviews, the Holiday Inn Vanuatu is a beautiful resort. To the management and staff congratulations on a job well done, we had a wonderful week with you recently. The resort is spotless and oozes tranquility. Surely there is no better place to have such a fantastic breakfast than in the beautiful open restaurant overlooking Erakor Lagoon, this was a wonderful start to everyday. We holidayed with our two teenagers (17 & 13) and found the interconnecting garden view rooms very spacious and well serviced. The kids were never bored as the activities/beach hut team were always doing something and with the kayaks and catamarans, chess and table tennis there was sometimes not enough hours in the day! Buffet dinners and breakfast were first class and the nightly happy hours enjoyed by all. The string band, local young firedancers and other evening entertainment in the lobby bar was very good perhaps the only thing missing was a cultural/kustom dance night? We already miss all the smiling faces,and hope to return very soon - Justine, Dunedin NZ

My family (2 adults, a 17 and 14 year old) have just returned from 8 nights at this resort. We stayed in interconnecting Lagoon View rooms. These rooms had a fantastic view and were in a great location for accessing all areas of the resort.

The staff were wonderful - very helpful, friendly and good at remembering guest names. Management staff were also great (special thanks to Teneale for her advice about nightclubbing!)

The happy hour from 5-7pm at the pool bar made drinks very affordable and we also often ordered food and ate dinner in this area. Food was reasonably priced and good quality. We also enjoyed the ice creams in the pool area.

A second happy hour in the lobby bar from 8-9pm was a bonus and some good local bands were playing when we went.

Late January was a great time to visit as it was fairly quiet with plenty of pool chairs and no wait for the catamarans or kayaks.

Totally enjoyed the complimentary fireshow on Wednesday night.

Must do sightseeing for Vanuatu includes the Scrub Run buggy tour (if you like mud!), a day trip to Pele island and a trip to Blue Lagoon. A night visit to the Voodoo Bar is also good if you like a disco with 80's music!

Everything was great - can't wait to come back and do it all again one day. Thanks!
