Rooms were very comfortable and modern not one complaint on the room. The only downside would be getting in and out of the bath, especially if older and... More

Good Afternoon twalker94 Thank you for your 'Great' review. We are seeing quite a few family weddings here in Vanuatu with the close proximity to Australia and the ability of combing a wedding with a unique destination.

What can I say... yet another great Holiday Inn. Smiles are omnipresent, generosity of spirit is limitless, value for money is more than reasonable and the beer is always cold. Not that I advocate this however you could enjoy a perfectly blissful stay whilst remaining within the resort for the entire duration of your stay. With regard to downtown, if... More
