We stayed at the Grand Hotel for 4 nights. The room was very comfortable, clean and convenient. The breakfast and room service was pretty decent. The location of the hotel is in an excellent spot. When you get outside the hotel there is a small port where you can catch a ferry to a nearby island that has the Iririki... More

Stayed here on business. Location is great, breakfast is really nice, but that's were it ends. The place just does not have that special feeling. As a frequent traveler, I judge most of my stay based on the 1st impression, how am I greeted? What is the room like, what feeling do I get when I open the door? Unfortunately,... More

First up they building looked a bit out of place being rather big(tall) in amongst smaller dwellings. The inside deco was pretty amazing. I had trouble locking my door and when I did I assumed it was locked and went into town only to come back 3hours later to find it slightly ajar. Thank goodness nothing was missing but that... More

Admittedly there's not a lot of choice in Port Vila town for decent hotels. But this one has clean rooms, good service, wifi, great pool and spa. The breakfasts were decent as well but I guess you can't go wrong with fruit and Bircher muesli. Only real downsides was that the minibar was empty...they could have sold me a few... More

We booked a great honeymoon deal through Travel Online. The cost was around $800AU for 6 nights. As part of the honeymoon package (which is free) we received an upgrade to a panorama room which had amazing views! Both the rooms and pools were great. Food at the restaurant is cheap and decent. The only downsides: - The casino is... More
