Gorgeous little units, very clean. Great views. Food is a bit expensive but very good. Fay was our waitress and was absolutely brilliant. Take some water shoes (reefies) as there is lots of starfish and some non venomous snakes you don’t want to stand on. We did loads of snorkeling and kayaking. If you have kids they have a kids club and play area. If you don’t have kids like us it’s big enough resort you don’t have to see or hear them. We only did 3 days, but wish we had done more. We had a room with private pool and beach, was well worth the extra spend. Will absolutely come back here again. Loved it.

This was a great deal through Expedia for seven nights and accommodation and flights. We arrived middle of the night and the travel arranged by the staff was seamless. From the 20 minute drive from airport to the five minute ferry trip to the island. We were very thankful for John who was very gracious and assured us that it wasn't a hassle being available to ferry us across after midnight. Our villa was incredibly spacious for two people with a porch overlooking turquoise waters which provided hours of great snorkeling for us during our stay. When we weren't snorkeling, we were lazing in the balcony reading,enjoying the sound of the ocean, and local children laughing across the waters. The humidity was tempered by the ocean breeze which helped dry our clothes quickly. The wifi worked amazing considering it's an island. The staff however are the main asset of this resort. I can't say enough about them. The grounds are gorgeous and immaculately kept. They are always warm, welcoming and incredibly attentive, especially in the restaurant. The lovely Annie will make you feel like a special guest every morning at breakfast, Natalie will check in on you during breakfast and answer questions and provide information. The music played at the restaurant also added to the holiday vibes. Put your privilege and entitlement aside Western travellers, and don't forget to show your appreciation for the care provided by resilient and hardworking Vanuatuan people for your holiday enjoyment.

My family (2 adults, 2 kids) stayed at Erakor Island for 8 nights in January 2023. The resort is on its own island, which is a 5 minute free ferry ride from the jetty in Efate, which itself is about a 15 minute bus ride from the centre of Port Vila.
The island is stunningly beautiful, with crystal blue waters surrounding the coconut and palm jungle. The resort is very low scale and laid back - accommodation is in a series of detached buildings scattered around the island, with shared facilities including the restaurant, pool area and a few mixed purpose huts.
Given the relative isolation of the island, we ate most meals in the resort's restaurant. Food quality and variety was good and the value was fair. Service was sometimes on "island time" but always extremely friendly. Breakfast (both buffet and al a carte options) are included in the room rate.
For me and the kids the highlight of the island was the water sports. Snorkelling gear and kayaks/canoes/paddleboards are all available to borrow for as long as you want for no additional charge. The snorkelling around the island was quite impressive, with a large range of tropical fish, coral and plentiful giant starfish.
We stayed in a garden 2 bedroom unit. This was comfortable but with a weird layout, as you need to go through the bathroom to get from one bedroom to the other. There is no living area in this unit, so you need to sit outside or on the bed if you want to escape the sun or rain.
Overall a fantastic trip!

Excellent staff made you feel important. Always smiling and joking. They were very accommodating. Very relaxing lots of day trippers coming to see what they were missing out on. Intend on going back next year. Hopefully with the whole family.
