Best Hotels in Mele Maat

Our check-in was somewhat a bit delayed due to no reservation. The gentleman who served us, Willie, was fantastic. He was able to accommodate us after looking into the booking and requested we discuss the matter with the reservations team the next day. After dealing with my booking agent very early the next morning, we were able to sort the issue out. Apart from the cigarette smell as soon as you enter the hotel lobby and the stench in the lifts, the hotel is perfectly situated in the main town with a couple minutes walk to the ever-bustling market. The room offers splendid views of the waterfront which was absolutely breath taking. I was very impressed with the room especially the cleanliness. If the hotel can somewhat separate the entrance to the hotel and the ****** from the hotel lobby, this will surely lift 'first impression' image of the hotel.

The hotel is newly built, including the kitchen and other facilities. We bought the food and cooked it for a few meals, which is more convenient. There is a big supermarket 10 minutes walk nearby, and the price of Port Vila is quite expensive. The hotel has a total of 80 rooms.

I decided to book this place because it was close to town and what seemed like a very nice clean modern..ish place to base ourselves...well from the photos anyway. Port Vila is HOT, so for me check in needed to be efficient. I totally understand the concept of island time but come on, we were melting standing at reception waiting for them to get things in order. Our room was a one bedroom apartment which wasnt up to my expectations (Im not high maintenance either). We over looked the once was pier which was a shame. (They should update the pics) the bathroom was very small, and the kitchen was not exactly what I imaged, hence why they hardly have any pics of it. The bedroom and view where ok. Just the afternoon view was an absolute stinger. Next door was The Banyan Bar...nice spot for an arvo drink and Pizza, but make sute they dont charge you twice. We ordered drinks and pizza then decided to take our pizza to the room. Upon check out they charged us for the pizza...dont think so! We told them that this had happened to the couple before us...the left hand doesnt see what the right hand is doing. We checked out early because it just wasn't us and headed for the Ramada for some luxury. Would I stay here again..unfortunately thats a no from me. Would I recommend it..not for 7 days, maybe 2 or 3.

Overall it feels good. The hotel is on the edge of the lagoon and the view is very good. The service staff is very friendly. The room is relatively large, but ants have been seen by the door on the wall. It takes about 10 minutes by car to reach the city center from the hotel.

We have been eating here for the last few weeks. The food and service has been consistently excellent. Tonight, we tried a program they have, called 'Trust The Chef' - exquisite fine dining where you leave everything to Chef Taku, who has never ceased to amaze us with the rich combination of flavors. No doubt one of our favorite places to eat - great family memories created here.

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!

The moment we walked in the door of Vila Chaumiere, we felt part of Morgan’s family. He could not have showed us more kindness and warmth. On our second night he insisted that we have dinner with him and help him finish off his leftovers from Christmas lunch. We stayed up late talking and laughing, and listening to stories about his life. He introduced us to his sister-in-law, Miriam, who we instantly clicked with and we couldn’t have loved more. She has the most beautiful, infectious personality and the warmest smile. She took us for a tour of the island of Efate and then we caught up again on our last night as friends before flying back home. The accomodation at Vila Chaumiere was so comfortable and peaceful (the views were of the lagoon were idyllic!). But it the people you meet when you travel that really stay with you. I couldn’t speak more highly of our stay, and it was so heartwarming to support a genuine family business. I really hope to be back soon!

We stayed at the Warwick Le Lagon in July this year and had an amazing time. Our rooms were the Garden View rooms which we loved and would book again. The staff were so lovely and extremely helpful, especially Glenda, Ronald and Annie. We can't wait to come back to see you all. The food was lovely with a different theme every night. One of our family members is Vegan so Ramzy Shibany the Resort Manager made sure that a delicious vegan meal was prepared upon request which was very much appreciated. The water sports area was great, with kayaks, canoes, little catamarans and snorkels, so we got to explore the beautiful lagoon and its many wonders. We couldn't have asked for a more enjoyable family holiday and we can't wait to come back again. The Fontana's

Satisfied Satisfied Satisfied The staff are enthusiastic and attentive. When checking in, we will introduce the hotel in detail and send a glass of lemonade. The scenery is beautiful and very quiet. You can stroll to the market or choose to take a car

The hotel has a private beach, free sailing and other sea activities The hotel is quite big. We brought it from the front desk to the cottage by car. It takes about ten minutes to walk. The service is great, the breakfast is ok, there are a lot of fresh fruits, you can eat enough Just to go out, if you are not driving yourself, you have to take a taxi. It ’s more expensive to take a taxi from this hotel. Other places in the city are 1000 watts. This hotel is almost 2000 watts. It's better to drive by yourself, but driving here is more casual. If you are not an old driver, please consider carefully!
