Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room was comfortable and inviting, perfect for a relaxing evening soak in the bathtub, but it got uncomfortably hot in the afternoon and the TV reception was frustrating. The service was top-notch, with staff going above and beyond to accommodate us during a bit of a room shuffle due to painting. The location, although central, was a bit too overpowering with cigarette smoke for my liking. Dining offered a decent variety of freshly cooked options. Overall, a place with its ups and downs.
The hotel is centrally located in Port Vila, making it convenient for last-minute shopping. The rooms are comfortable with great amenities, though some found the extended bathtub a plus. The service is top-notch, with friendly and helpful staff. The location offers easy access to transportation, markets, and dining options, earning it high praise. The dining experience varied, with fresh breakfast being a highlight. Additional facilities provided were satisfactory, though some noted the need for dining variety during longer stays.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room had a balcony overlooking the bay, which was lovely, but it got very hot in the afternoon when the sun hit it. The TV reception was terrible, and breakfast started an hour before the scheduled time. The service was exceptional with very friendly and helpful staff who even went out of their way to accommodate us while they were painting. However, the location was a bit disappointing as the building felt dated, and the hot water was unpredictable. The dining experience was pleasant, with a variety of options brought to my room in advance by extremely friendly staff.
