Vanuatu Beachfront Apartments

It was lovely and relaxing. The staff - Juliet and Jackie to name a few were the loveliest, so helpful and cheerful and the most gorgeous view. Kerrol was also very obliging with a trip around the island and pick up and drop off to the airport and lots of information. The staff also helped celebrate a birthday. They went above and beyond and would definitely recommend.

We opted to stay here after a week in Port Vila for quick and easy access to Hideaway Island for Snorkelling. The location was stunning, right on the beach with the most fantastic sunsets each evening. The locals use the beach regularly and it was lovely to see the kids and families playing and having fun in the sea. The studio apar**ent was fantastic, large double bed which was very comfy, sofa bed, kitchen facilities and good sized bathroom all overlooking the pool area. Air con worked great, keeping the large room cool. The price included free breakfast with lots of options (toast, yogurt, cereal etc) and lunch and dinner was also available at the resort which was great and very good value. The cocktails were the best and cheapest we had tried in Vanuatu! You can also purchase basics such as milk, break etc at the resort which is extremely handy to avoid having to go into Port Vila. Just up along the beach from the apar**ents is Mele Beach bar which offers more food and drink options. Over the weekends they put on a fire show which we really enjoyed but book a table as it is very popular (table 2 was our favourite table as it was directly under a fan which was needed in the hot weather). The staff were fantastic, extremely helpful and friendly. This is a little gem of a place and we will definitely be back!

Before our arrival here we read few reviews and decided this might be the right place to stay. Our experience goes far beyond our expectation. This little hotel is run by the kindest staff on Earth. Juliette is the leader of the team which is discrete, polite and efficient. At check-in she provided us the room upgrade because of the minor issue with the celling fan. She give us a little Chris**as tree to decorate saying simply "It's Chris**as time". She gave us her phone to place important calls abroad. Whatever we asked for, Juliette and her team accomplished instantly. If you add to this that the hotel is located in a beautiful and calm Mele bay, that we shared the beach with only few other guests, we can resume the whole experience in one word: perfect! If there is a downside aspect of this stay than we would mention the accses road which is in a pretty bad condition. Also, ordering breakfast is little confusing because you get the basics (coffee, toast jam, cereals) for free, but all the extras (eggs, ssusage etc.), we had to pay.

We were so impressed with our recent stay. Having previously stayed 7 years ago we we were eager to stay again with our 4 children. We stayed in the Penthouse which was a great size for our family. The complex has such a great layout - breakfast on the deck whilst the kids played on the beach. Our included breakfast was always delicious. The prices for the other meals and drinks were cheaper than Australian pricing. The complex is just a short stroll to the beach bar. If you're there Friday night the fire show was amazing! A special shout out to Juliet and Nanny Solemae ( I'm not sure I spelt that right, sorry!) and driver Carol, they were always so accommodating and patient. Thank you again for a memorable stay.

We had the pleasure of staying here for 3 nights (should have been 4 but due to air Vanuatu cancellations was only 3) We had a 2 bedroom pool view room and for our family of 2 adults and 2 children it was great. Staff are fantastic, can’t say enough about them. They definitely make your stay extra special. Yes like previously stated in another review , there is a bit of stuff that is outdated or a couple of broken things, But does that affect your stay at all, No not at all. The included breakfast was good, bread is made on site therefore toast was delicious as was the banana bread. If you are expecting a big flash resort then this is not the place for you but if you want somewhere with a smaller amount of guests, fantastic staff and everything you need to have an enjoyable stay then you should definitely consider Vanuatu Beachfront Apar**ents. We will definitely be back.

Firstly the staff are lovely and from the local village and do anything and everything to help but unfortunately they can’t help what they don’t have control over. Apart from the amazing staff, this place was unlike anything we’ve stayed at before and first time I’ve ever left a review like this but considering I picked this place on all the great reviews previously left I felt I need to be honest as none of this has been mentioned. It was a complete nigh**are from start to leaving early to get home. The pictures and advertisements are not what you get. The whole premises is very outdated and run down. Paid for ocean view room and as you can see in attached photo it’s a stretch at that. Several broken things and stains/cracks throughout the whole villa and complex. Just to name a few… No bikes as advertised. They were broken. Dryer didn’t work. Brown water from shower. Pool deck chairs are wooden and broken. Given mouldy thin sponge to go on top to cover it. Pool and bath towels are all stained and holes. They smell bad and feel like sand paper. Pool was so murky you can’t see bottom and much smaller than looks in photos. Pool decking and surrounding furniture worn and faded unlike the advertised pictures. Next door neighbours play music from 5am till late at night. Villas are very dark and not much lighting. Meals are very expensive for what you get and fair way away from nearest town.

After a failed attempt to visit Vanuatu earlier in the year, I finally got to stay for 4 nights at this lovely accommodation. It was close to where family members were staying but in my opinion, I was the winner. Establishment is out of Vila but set beachfront on a crescent of sand which at the time I went was almost deserted. 5 minutes walk to the jetty that will take you to Hideaway Island if you would like to spend some time there to snorkel or SCUBA. Also, buses are readily available at the jetty to take you wherever you'd like to go - supermarket or into Vila. The staff at Beachfront are amazing! Friendly, happy and always ready to help out. True hospitality. I loved my chats with them. Beachfront is a small no-frills apar**ent complex which is kept beautifully clean and where things work as they should. Beds and pillows are great. You have your own cooking facilities and seating area even in a studio and is a very comfortable place to stay. Push bikes can be borrowed if you'd like to cycle to the supermarket rather than take a bus but equally, you can walk. There is a bar and lovely food cooked on the premises to enjoy in your apar**ent or around the pool. The food is great and the home baked bread! Oh my goodness ... yum! I would definitely return and highly recommend if you are looking for a totally relaxing beach stay with no fuss but great hospitality.

Beachfront is definitely what you get here, nothing nicer than eating breakfast, lunch & dinner over looking Hideaway Island. Our room was a self contained unit, very spacious and comfortable and clean. The amazing staff here - which live in the local village- Juliette, Jackie, Silena - go out of there way to make you feel welcome and cook the most delicious meals, and what can I say about the man Antwan - He is energetic, bubbly, makes the best cocktails 🍹. Antwan took us for a walk around his village in Mele. That was a great experience. The grounds are kept immaculate. We used Carol who is their tour guide, Carol helped us out on what to see and do, Easy walk up to Mele cascade from here. Would highly recommend staying here and we will definitely be back, once again Vanuatu Beachfront apar**ents thanks for having us.

My family and I just spent an amazing week (not long enough) at VBA. The staff are warm, welcoming, helpful and just go out of their way to ensure you have the best holiday. This small, family run resort is my absolute favourite, the rooms are lovely - everything you need. The beach is devine, long walks in the sand, swimming in calm, warm water. Kayaks and paddle boards are available. So many things are accessible from VBA - the beach bar with fire show is just down the beach, hideaway island is just across the bay. The on-site cafe has a menu of delicious goodies including yummy cocktails! You really do not need to go anywhere else, just arrive and relax. Thank you Juliette, Jacqui, Silvi, Pappi and Fred for an amazing holiday.
