We stayed for 8 nights at the Holiday Inn in a resort facing room with a family of 4. The room was very nice and tidy. Good beds and linen. The pillows were a bit soft for our liking but not bad. The room was cleaned every day.
The food in the restaurant was great. Good variety and it tasted very good. The Hawaiian pizza was our favourite!
The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We were really surprised at how nice all people in Vanuatu were. We travelled with a rental car and got to see a lot of the people and they are amazingly friendly. We will definitely go back to Vanuatu in the future.

Twin-shared room with my beloved daughter as we dealt with the recent loss of a family member. Room was adequate, good space and configuration, in-room aircon and ceiling fan were a god-send. A few problems with door lock (fixed eventually). Hotel staff generally and restaurant staff in particular were fabulous, very caring and attentive. Alot of stairs so may not be ideal for those with mobility issues. Swimming pool was much appreciated too.

The local staff were always warm and friendly although some more training is required for customer facing staff, front of house staff.
Pools were clean and well maintained but lagoon swimming was out of bounds.
The food and beverage offerings are expensive although the quality is good - particularly breakfast buffet.
The property has a lot of stairs to access pools and the beach on the lagoon has been created and not greatly functional.
The accommodation wings are very dated . Bathrooms dont have extractors and fog up .
Ultimately this property is best suited to families with young children and it seems to be a focus for them. Not really an adult destination as facilities and accommodation aren't up to that level.
Spent 4 nights and overall enjoyed Vanuatu however we will try a different ' resort' next time.

Well, what can I say… I was blown away by the total experience that Holiday Inn Vanuatu offered… from the time we checked in, to the gala NYE dinner, to every little request through our 7 day stay.
Front office Manager Mayank Kothari ensured our family felt all at home and always greeted us with a smile; no request was ever frowned upon and I know some of the requests made were pushing it.
Randy was a great host and was seen everywhere in the resort gracing his infectious smile.
Chefs Ram, Aaka and Clinton always made it a point to visit us during meals time permitting of course ensuring all our palates were satisfied.
Couldn’t not mention Matilda from front office and Tom - who helped out during a late night emergency for their excellent hospitality.
Live music most nights was excellent and set the mood for a wonderful evening. The Malenasian and Curry night with the local performers and fire show was outstanding.
Although the rooms were a bit dated and breakfast and lunch options could run out especially with longer stays, I wouldn’t hold it against the joint given the amazing mix of local and expats putting up a great show. Gym can be missed, not worth a visit. Spa is great though.
All in all, one of the best holidays we have had in a while, thanks to the wonderful staff at Holiday Inn Vanuatu.
We will be back soon to relive the wonderful experience we had last week.

Good location of hotel and comfortable beds. However the highlights were the fantastic pool area, excellent food and extremely friendly and helpful staff. We had a fantastic time for 1 week here (2 adults and 2 kids ages 6 and 3).
Would happily stay here again.

The Holiday Inn is an older resort, by some standards, but it is clean, comfortable, quiet and it”s food is fresh and delicious. One of the best parts of the resort is that it HAS THE MOST AMAZING STAFF. They are soooo friendly and helpful. My family of 5 (with 3 young adult children) couldn’t have been looked after better.
