I had a really nice stay at this budget hotel in Port Vila. It is fantastically located in a nice part of town that is quiet and safe, yet only a short walk or drive from downtown Vila. My room was small and basic, yet comfortable. At this price point, there is very little available anywhere in Vila that is so centrally located. The staff were extremely pleasant, kind, and polite. There is a casino on site, but it was never loud. Bonus: the fine museum and the striking parliament are a short walk from the hotel.
Located in Port Vila and with Konanda Reef reachable within 3.4 miles, Crystal Beach Hotel provides a tour desk, non-smoking rooms, a garden, free WiFi and a terrace.

I’ve been traveling to Vanuatu since 2018. I’ve stayed in nearly every “budget,” a bunch of affordable, and a few ritzy spots. This spot for its price cannot be beat. Clean, running water, overly accommodating staff. Seriously, they washed my clothes and offered me a bigger room because it was available.
What set them apart is they refunded me for the first night of my three night stay since I was unable to check in until day two because of a flight delay. And they let me check in at 9am because the room was ready!
Look. Vanuatu is a silly expensive country. I’d say ludicrous at times. This hotel is worth it. Work with the staff and they will ensure you have working A/C, wi-if (given no storms), a bed, and a quiet space in the heart of Vila (which is very hard to find).
Vanuatu MG Cocomo Resort offers Melanesian-style accommodations, located a 5-minute drive from central Port Vila and a 15-minute drive from Port Vila Airport.

Vanuatu is experiencing a recession after two cyclones,...
Vanuatu is experiencing a recession after two cyclones, COVID and the collapse of Air Vanuatu which makes inter-island travel very difficult. The local Ni-Van people are lovely but struggling. The cyclones and bleaching have meant the coral reefs are not as colourful on Efate as 10 years ago when I last visited. This was a lesson in not treating another country as a holiday destination but as somewhere where real people live out their lives, so local conditions need to be researched and their impact respected.

Our trip was a bit of a roller coaster , but overall we enjoyed our time there .
Highlights , 83 islands distillery tour was awesome . Mele beach bar great food , awesome staff and location and the fire show on Friday nights fantastic . Kids can swim at the beach , have a feed and watch the shoe -A+ . The markets were awesome as usual .
Low lights . We’ve been going to Vanuatu for over 20 yrs , and our recent trip to the cascades saddened us and emptied our wallets .
The current owners havnt maintained the place and the entry fee is extortion . The roads are next level knarly All 3 of our airport transfers were no shows which was disappointing but not the end of the world .
The people of Vanuatu are why we come back every time . They really are the friendliest people on earth .
Special shout out to Gideon and his family from Havanah eco lodge .
They treated us like family and we had a great time over there .

Port Villa is heaven on earth, I have been there 3 times and will always go back, with all the natural disasters this island goes through people are still so friendly and happy all the time, they live a simple life and always have a reason to smile, i strongly advise visiting the locals as it much better than staying in the resorts, the rivers , lagoons and beachs are surreal and its all so clean, the locals will always say hello and help you with anything you need.
There are plenty of taxis to go around, I would stay away from resorts for food and go into town as the resorts are extremely expensive and the town prices are so much cheaper.

Fresh food and souvenir markets were very well maintained.
Fresh food and souvenir markets were very well maintained. Indeed the waterfront esplanade area was attractive apart from the toilets behind the stage set up for MAC festival which had a $1.00 AU entry fee. Our trip on the coral viewing boat was worthwhile. The Museum was a great disappointment especially given the high entry fee and the seeming lack of curatorial care in presenting historical perspectives such as WW2 events and impacts of colonisation.

The local people were great: friendly, helpful and polite.
The local people were great: friendly, helpful and polite. There were good restaurants, particularly the Waterfront Bar and Grill. It was easy to get a taxi or bus on the street, but asking the hotel to get you a taxi may result in a long wait for their preferred driver to arrive.
We heard several stories from disappointed people who booked resorts where there was nothing to do and had ferry charges to get back to the mainland.

Exceptional place if you wish to get into the local lifestyle and explore the culture. There are nice places to visit like Mele Beach bar for Fire Dance, Blue Lagoon and Iririki Island for Snorkeling, Kayaking, swimming, casino and a lot more to offer that too at very affordable rates.
This villa is really well located for a short walk to the main street in Port Vila. Upon arrival, there was a note for me directing me to my room with the key in the door so I let myself into my bungalow and then went out to explore. The room was cozy, had a mosquito net and was clean. The a/c was extra so I didn't bother with it and the evening cooled down enough that it wasnt' really needed with the fans on in the bungalow. Pool was clean and refreshing after returning from a wander around town.
Locations is great, super nice beach, very close to town but far enough that you are in vanuatu, not in a town.
and there is a micro-climate, we were there during Christmas, raining heavily in Port Vila everyday but no rain and usually sunshine on that peninsula.
So highly recommended for the location.
Generally nice design even though not all villas are as finished as the vilal shown on photos (for instance contact vs pebble walls)
Staff at the villa is nice.
The accommodation is very easy to approach and can move all over Port Vila very easily. The owner of Dwellery and her family is amazing and they let you feel at home. It was fabulous experience staying at Janessa's Dwellery. The place is not a luxury place but hospitality and support for all the things is exceptional. The staff guides very nicely to arrange tours on your own. Highly recommended place to stay. Last but not least the breakfast is also satisfying.
Really enjoyed my stay at Chantilly's. Great location very close to town and next to the wonderful Banyan beachside bar. Room was very comfortable and even had a little separate desk area that would make a great office for business travellers. Good restaurant and bar, a favourite of my friend who lives in Port Vila. Staff were great and very helpful, organised a taxi to take me to airport for very early morning departure which all went smoothly.
The Mariner is an exceptional property in Port Vila. While it may not have the swim up bar, it has incredible views, beautiful, friendly staff and a comfortable location to town. Lovely reasonably priced restaurants are a stones throw away. The apartment we stayed in is fabulous for families, in that it has two bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen that allowed home cooked meals and a full laundry. The pool was a fun addition.
We had an amazing stay at Moorings Hotel. The accomodation was exceptional! Perfect location, the view of the coast from the pool was beautiful and it was only a short walk into town.
The staff is what really made our stay so special, they were all so lovely and helpful. We had never visited Vanuatu before and they gave excellent recommendations on what to do and how to best get around.
The apartments are exactly as described here so no surprises when we arrived. Most importantly Beth has been a lifesaver when our plans in Vanuatu have changed multiple times courtesy of Air Vanuatu. She has been very flexible so we did not have to look for a room elsewhere in Port Vila. Overall we enjoyed our stay at Coral motel and of course meeting Beth and the rest of the staff.
Amazing service. Petter and Anne are so wonderful and the staff was friendly and accommodating as well. The food is INCREDIBLE -- the best food we had in Vanuatu, by far. The property is lovely and comfortable. The shower pressure and hot water was perfect every time. The views are spectacular and the dives were great. Can't recommend enough!!

Janessa is a great lady. Her house is a 4 minute walk from the airport and there are cheap easy share vans (red B on license plate) to get from the airport into Port Vila. Share bathroom, AC, breakfast, kitchen with coffee and tea, private patio in each room. A great place to stay and the cheapest in Port Vila.
Everything. All the other good reviews pretty much say it all. The daily activities are a nice touch. Close enough to the main airport to make things easy, but feels like you are in the middle of nowhere. Excellent snorkeling. If the budget allows it, highly recommend the private pool villa option.
Location was great--just up the hill from the beach and a short walk into town. It was also just up the hill from Moorings Hotel where I had stayed earlier with a tour group so I knew I could hang out there and use their wifi because Room with a View had zero wifi.
Beautiful ocean views from the Panoramic Suite.
Staff were generally friendly and house keeping was done daily.
Located in the heart of Port Vila (approx 15 minutes drive from airport).
Shops/Markets are near by and you are never short of public transport.
The lodge is a comfortable in house (BNB / Backpacker style) shared accomodation. It’s close to town and perfectly suited our ni-Vanuatu family and friends staying in town, rather than doing the round island commute each day.
