Resort Hotels in Efate

This is a good hotel to see overall. I went in the cold season, but the temperature in the room is always just right and comfortable. The surrounding environment is wonderful.

We had a lovely time at Sunset Bungalows, everybody was so friendly and welcoming, a special shout out to Maria, who worked every day from cooking to reception from early in the morning to late at night, the cleaning lady and the night security man were also so lovely, he waited with us at 4.30am for our transport to arive to the airport. The rooms are nice, bed comfy and a beautiful outlook when you open the doors to the lagoon, with the water lapping up the front, the whole resort is looking a little tired, but after being hit with over 2 years of COVID and 2 cyclones this resort is still trying to recover, the only downside for us was the lack of choice in food, but was not really an issue we just got a bus into town and ate in there. The town is also still recovering a lot of places are still closed or have shut completely but all in all if you want a nice quiet place with great service and beatuiful people with clean comfortable rooms then you will not be disappointed with Sunset Bungalows.

We loved every minute of our five nights at Nasama. The suites are spacious, well equipped, and comfortable with large balconies. We overlooked a lovely infinity pool and a small beach with an ocean breeze and view. To sit back at night and look at the stars was magical. The staff, Sharlyn, Ashley, Mona, and the others whose names I did not get unfortunately, were so helpful and friendly. We always felt well cared for. What we also really appreciated were the two excellent restaurants right on the property. Three Pigs was good for pizza and a beer, but Cafe Vila was one of the best places we have eaten on our three month trip. The menu is creative, healthy, and so delicious. The real bonus in staying at Nasama is the gourmet full breakfast with lots of choices, is included in the price of the room. It was something we really looked forward to each day and it added real value. Nasama is highly recommended from someone not easily pleased.

We have just returned from Eratap Vanuatu yesterday and cannot express how much we enjoyed it and loved our holiday there. When holidaying we want to snorkel, have good food (with variety) and preferably a gym (to both keep fit and to give us an alternative if the weather turns bad). The trip to Eratap ticked all these boxes and more. It is also not that far to fly from Brisbane, and we didn’t have to travel that far to the resort from the airport. We swam daily with the most vibrant coral straight of the beach and for variety the resort had two boats which it used to transport guests as desired to many other reefs around the resort. Eratap is a fantastic place to snorkel. Usually when we travel, my husband has options on the menu’s but for me only eating white meat or vegetarian, it is often a struggle to get variety. I had no trouble this trip and had the best food options I have had at any trip to date. Adding to that, both my husband and I found the food high quality (most meals). Hats off to the chef and thank you. Eratap have a very well-equipped gym for a resort gym. It is amazing to be able to get this at a resort of its size. At Eratap we had the facilities of a big resort, with the benefit of a smaller resort so there was no overcrowding. I had a heavenly massage and heavenly is an understatement. The resort offered several events or local experiences throughout our stay. We found the fire show a spectacular way to spend one of our evenings. It was amazing and kept us glued to the show. The people of Vanuatu are lovely in particular at the resort. They are gracious and truly appreciative of guests returning (post COVID shut down). We especially want to mention Mary-Anne and Caroline who attended to our room daily and were such lovely ladies. Adding to this was the Manager Pascale who fixed any issue (not that we had many) with ease and ensured all guests were happy. There didn’t seem to be anything that was to much for her, even when we had an issue in town (which had nothing to do with the resort) she was quick to help and find a solution. The resort is lucky to have her, and she is an asset to the resort. We also want to acknowledge both Mac and Pablo who took us out to the various reef’s daily. Overall, my husband and I would struggle to find a negative thing to say about this resort. The only thing we would change is staying longer. We had the best time. I would recommend this to anyone, who enjoys snorkeling, having an island escape or just looking to totally relax. We cannot wait to return and do it all again next year.

We picked Erakor Island Resort for our secret elopement. We wanted a low fuss wedding and relaxing stay and Erakor handled everything and offered a great package. Beautiful location, wonderful staff, plenty of activities, great food, awesome room, I can't fault it. The fact that you basically have this whole island to yourself (and other guests) is so cool. Don't be daunted by the ferry, it's so easy to get to and from the mainland and the staff will take good care of you mo matter where you want to go. We travelled just after Vanuatu reopened to tourists and realised we had struck gold after speaking to other travellers. We met SO many people who were either staying at other locations and switched to Erakor because they weren't happy with their previous hotel, or were staying at another place and travelling to Erakor every day for the restaurant because their hotel didn't offer good food. When we arrive, the country's tourism industry seemed to be on a soft restart, which is completely understandable given it was shut down for a number of years, but you'd never know it with Erakor. They were back up and ready to go as if they never stopped operating. Getting married there was a dream and Erakor will forever be close to our hearts and part of our story. 100% going back!

Situated within a short and enjoyable walk from the busy centre, retreat seaside is nestled just above the lagoon with stunning views and plentiful amenities. Across the street is a fruit market and local park where you can pick up fresh produce and enjoy being a part of local life. Dan is definitely the “host with the most”, full of knowledge and advice to make your stay on the island enjoyable from every aspect. The property is well maintained and managed with something to get involved in almost every evening. Can’t recommend this accommodation and restaurant enough! Felt like home away from home and can’t wait to come back! Great job to everyone involved here for creating such a unique place in paradise.

We visited this resort for the day to see if this would suit us for our next holiday. The resort is in a perfect location about 20 mins bus ride from Port Vila. It is located on a beautiful beach with great snorkeling right off the beach. It is in a quieter rural location that would suit visitors looking for a beach getaway. We got to view one of the fares and it was a quaint island style room with ceiling fans and the one we viewed also had air conditioning. It would be perfect for us and I loved the charm of it. The restaurant was an open style area that had a lovely breeze going through even though it was a very hot sunny day, We ordered the fish burger for lunch and it was honestly the BEST fish burger I’ve ever had! It was absolutely delicious and compliments to their amazing chef! Rob the manager was very friendly and a pleasure to meet, we enjoyed his company when he had the chance to sit down and mingle with the guests. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our day relaxing, swimming and snorkeling at the resort and I can’t wait for our next Vanuatu holiday at this resort!
