This is an excellent resort for relaxing. We had a ocean front villa and loved it. It is worth the additional cost to be on the ocean as the second row does not have a view. ALso, it is fun to walk the long white sand beach at low tide and see all of the coral exposed and the fun aquatic life living in the pools. The staff was lovely, happy and helpful. A driver was arranged for us to tour the island and we recommend that. There are a lot of families so if you are not into kids in the...

The location is quite secluded, so having a car is essential for getting around the island. The hosts are wonderful. I stayed for two nights, both without functioning air conditioning—though the unit was on, it only blew hot air. The host is aware of the issue and mentioned they plan to have it checked. Note that when working, the AC is scheduled to run only from 8 PM to 8 AM.
Otherwise, it's a pleasant and relaxing place to stay.

Helpful, pleasant staff. Lovely position. We stayed in room right on the water, verandah looking out through flame tree over the bay. Minor design problem in that shutters and whole room could either be open on the view, or we could turn on aircon. Think it was unusually hot when we were there. Good restaurants in walking distance, town easily accessed by local bus. Close to airport.

The owner, the staff, the location, and the rental unit were all fantastic. Having the lagoon right next to the lanai was so nice. Everything worked very well, the kitchen was even stocked with pots, pans, dishes, everything needed and all of it very useable and in working order. Even a French press. Super. They even had sea salt and a fresh pepper grinder. Great little things that make a big different to some of us. I was in to Vila every day for work while staying and it was so easy to...

Absolutely amazing stay. Can't rave about it enough. Do research before going - this is a place for total relaxation, happiness, beautiful people, most friendly staff, stunning beaches, quiet, and great food. No place to work, so forget about your laptop or internet. If you can accept these terms, you'd have your face smiling constantly from the moment you arrive by boat, till everyone's farewell you with a hug. Thanks The Most - can't wait to return!!

First the Cons.
There are not enough lounge chairs in the beach section in front of the beach side bungalows. There were only three, so everyday it was first come first served. All the available lounges are in front of the pool/bar area.
It really isn't an area conducive to ocean swimming because of the coral. You can only snorkel at high tide.
Now the good stuff. It is pristine property, the grounds are immaculately groomed all day long by tirelessly working groundskeepers. The housekeeping...

We stayed in the 2 bed apartment (room 4), and it led straight onto the pool, which is only 5 meters from the beach.
Had a lovely time with our 6 month old and 5 year old, excellent staff, and a great location with Hideaway Island a short kayak away, and the Beach Bar 5 mins along the beach.
Very clean rooms and thoughtful extras, extra friendly and helpful staff, and a small bar/kitchen with cheap (for Vanuatu) cocktails and handy food options.
The apartments are about 10 mins by car...

The staff are all very kind and helpful. The restaurant food was all really delicious and the atmosphere of the resort was relaxing and beautiful, especially because it is all on the ocean front. We did 2 boat dives with Volcano Divers and they were really great!

Stayed 2 nights here to "recover" before the long trip home. After touring the South Pacific, it was nice to have air conditioning, a clean room, reliable hot water, and drinkable right from the tap! We could have just hung out at the pool or lagoon, but decided to explore for a day anyway; convenient for that as well.
