Fatumaru Lodge Port Vila

Wonderful hotel at interesting destination. Just by the water, pool available. Friendly staff. Quite short transfer from airport.

We have stayed at Fatumaru Lodge many times and we love it, it feels better then home. If you like to kayak or stand up paddling you have it right out your front balcony. (kayaks and stand up boards are provided free of charge) If you like to swim they have a pool just out your back door, the pool area has lots of shade and a BBQ you can use. You get beautiful view of the sunset that cover the sky in lovely colours which we look forward even night. The rooms have very large king size bed with a small kitchenet. The staff can book your airport transfers at the best price and they transfers staff will have a sign with your name on it at the airport gate. When taking a bus or taxi around town every driver knows how to get to Fatumaru Lodge. It about a 20 minute into town and you pass many bars and restaurants and long the way. We have plans to come back to Port Vila and we will be booking here again.

Great stay. Easy check in and out. Staff friendly and helpful. Well equiped room with beautiful view to lagoon. Close enough to walk into town for meals, but room is set up for self catering also. Only stayed overnight prior to flying home the next day and is convenient to airport. Resort was happy for us to check in a little earlier and also check out a bit later

Beautiful, semi-secluded lodge still walking distance to restaurants and Port Vila central district. The decor is just right and the balcony a huge perk. Nice kitchenette too. All in all, a good place to spend a few nights. Note: the upper bedrooms have an open upper wall in the toilet/bathroom, so there is little "noise" privacy if travelling with a companion. Something to keep in mind if this is a concern for you.

Great location. Beautiful view when the sun sets over the water. Very nice and friendly staff. Easy access from the airport. Good dinner locations within walking distance.

A great hotel just outside the main town of Port Villa. A 15 minute walk gets you to the centre of the town. A 5 minute walk gets you to some restaurants/bars. Accommodation is relatively new and traditional decor makes it a charming and unique place to stay. Bed was very comfortable and everywhere was clean, neat and tidy. Unfortunately the shower was very temperamental, it was very hit and miss if you got a hot shower. We had a very early morning flight and a freezing shower at 4am was certainly one way to wake you up. The view from the hotel room over the river is amazing. Watching the sunset from the balcony is a must. The pool area was relaxing and there are bbq facilities if you wish to use them. There is also a small bar from which to get drinks. Overall this is an excellent place to stay, but the hot water does let it down.

Awesome place with spectacular views from the waterside rooms. Great staff too :-) Just a short walk along the lagoon into town and also a short taxi from the airport.

If you are traveling with a lot of luggage, be sure to arrange for a taxi. There is a steep, tight turn that many transports are not able to make, including the pick-up to return to the airport. The night guard was very helpful, but it was difficult to get all of our suitcases up to the turn-off for the early morning airport pick up. There was no mosquito net on the single bed for our daughter and the balcony was unscreened. We all three slept in the King size bed (which was quite comfortable). There were only 2 towels, and since we came late and left early, we could not request another. The shower dripped all night long. We had a late arrival and appreciated the flexibility of staff to help us out with that. Our quick overnight was probably not adequate to give a fair trial, but we were not so positively impressed that we feel compelled to return.
