Hotels near Bauerfield airport

Pros: Really friendly and helpful staff

Cons: Unfortunately when we visited there was a ban on swimming in the ocean along this stretch of coast due to poor water quality - not the lodge’s problem but if you want to ocean swim you might want to choose another location at the moment.

Pros: Lovely apartment with very complete facilities. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Pros: We had a great stay. The staff were very friendly and very helpful in booking activities, drivers etc. Beautiful location overlooking the bay and the kids enjoyed the pool, kayaks and stand up paddle boards. Lots of food options within a 5 minute walk.

Pros: Beautiful view, very relaxing environment with very helpful staff.

Cons: somehow during our stay, we are unable to use the water from the hotel. There was a white residual in the water. We have changed the kettle. But the problem persisted. The staffs in the lodge have kindly waved some of the bottled water I got from them but it is really inconvenient.

Pros: The staff were very helpful at the time I was frantic about my cancelled flights. Fruits/sweets delivered to the room on Christmas day was a nice personal touch to service.

Cons: Considering the location, it would have been nice if there is restaurant on site.

Pros: View, pool, nice staff

Cons: Noise of drippling from shower

Pros: The rooms being located right on the water was an absolute highlight. The size of the rooms was great, as was the comfort of the bed. The staff were very friendly, but seemed limited in their ability to assist with issues.

Cons: Airport transfers organised in advance did not take place. No show on arrival. On departure we managed to get a lift with another visitor, as is was likely we were going to miss our flight had we waited any longer. The main issue with this property in one word is Maintenance! - No hot water in our shower for 3 days, despite the staffs attempt to resolve. - The swimming pool was unusable for the last 4 days of our stay, it had turned green. - Badly leaking taps in bathroom. - Outdoor decking areas on balcony and around pool in need of attention. - WiFi was available but not in all areas. Unusable in our particular room. Given the amount we paid for this property we certainly expected better. We have stayed at cheaper places that were in much better condition than this.

Pros: The penthouse was amazing spacious with a great deck and views. We decided to order in Chinese as it was such a lovely spot - Staff were very helpful and accommodating. The pool was lovely and we enjoyed breakfast croissants around the pool

Pros: Friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful and clean room and environment. Great value for money. Highly recommended.

Pros: A wonderful terrasse overlooking the beach, friendly staff, lovely rooms, a beachvolley field, free Kajaks an SUP Boards, free drinking water.. all you need!

Cons: The pool water was a very much smelling of chlorine and burnt in the eyes and made the hair funny.. but I think they fixed the pump now and can lower the chlorine level again.

Pros: wonderful stay in every way. every single staff member there were professional and kind beyond words. spent nye there and the party was lovely. the location feels local and i was completely taken care of. the beach was lovely and i enjoyed many hours in the ocean out front. highly recommended.

Cons: that i couldn’t stay longer.

Pros: The staff are amazing, very friendly, helpful - the best staff i've ever encountered. Location and facilities are great. Good quality food and daily cocktail specials

Cons: I couldn't stay longer

Pros: The location was wonderful! The ease of being able to have kids rest in the room while we enjoyed a drink over looking the beach was beautiful.

Cons: The staff were no where to be found! We rang to organise our early check out and no one answered the phone. The bar was never staffed and when you rang the bell it would take a long time for someone to come.

Pros: Everything! Could not fault a thing The location The staff Perfect!

Pros: Free of charge Kayak, SUB boards, life jackets, bike, nice pool, close to hideaway island and beach restaurants.

Cons: Personal could be more friendly. Far away from shops. Breakfast could be warm.

Pros: the location is great. beautiful sunsets and warm ocean to swim in. the staff were lovely and it was handy having the little cafe on the premise.

Cons: our room was a little small for the 4 of us but we did book the studio.

Pros: Delicious breakfast, lovely and spaceous room. damien was very helpful, gave us lots of advices and we could even rent a car for a day.

Cons: bicyles werent in a really good shape and there were only 3 adult ones available. to bad because we would have loved to explore our surroundings with it. Beer is pretty pricy at the bar

Pros: Left too early to have breakfast.

Cons: A very pleasant stay.

Pros: Nice villas and pool area.

Cons: Location is a bit far from town, free internet in restaurant was not working during our stay.

Pros: We stayed here for 2 nights and we were really pleased with the service we got. The staff was very helpful arranging a rental car, booking a seafood restaurant, and offering a late check out (free of charge). Pool / Room service is free of charge as well. Great value for money!

Cons: I would have liked the 'light' breakfast that was included in the room rate a bit bigger (bowl of muesli, or fruit salad with small yogurt, or 2 mini croissants + juice + plunger coffee/tea), but it is definitely still better than nothing :) Wifi was only free in the restaurant (but didn't work for half of the time), which isn't necessarily a bad thing if you are there to relax and disconnect.

Pros: Amazing place to stay in Port Vila! Definitely will come back again!

Pros: Friendly staff, excellent room facilities, pool, restaurant and laundry service.

Cons: A bit of music noise on some evenings from nearby locations.

Pros: Very friendly helpful start, beautiful surroundings, close to town and great food.

Pros: So nice and close to Port Vila, arranges all tours and made sure our every need was met. Would 100% go back again.

Pros: The staff were lovely. The pools were great

Cons: Nothing

Cons: the food，the door

Pros: The staff are amazing and very friendly. Facilities are all you need if you’re wanting a relaxing time away.

Cons: The grudges in the rooms aren’t the best do cold water in rooms is hard to come by. Considering the charges, a working fridge is expected.

Pros: Our overwater bungalow was clean and comfortable for our two night stay. The island and its gardens are very pleasant as are the dining area, restaurant, bar and infinity pool overlooking the bay. The hotel's ferry provides continuous transport for the short trip between the island and Port Vila for those that want to explore the town or dine onshore.

Cons: We were very disappointed with the in-room service. The ordered toasted paninis were delivered untoasted and so stale they were inedable, with the replacement little better. The cleaner left the unfinished food outside next morning only to be eaten, we assume by rats. The plate, remnants remaining, was still outside our room when we checked out two nights later. The overwater bungalows face the town and were very noisy with loud music from onshore bars until the early hours of the morning.

Pros: Everything was fantastic

Cons: Our fridge did not keep things much cooler than our air con did, and it smelled really bad. Room 71

Pros: The atmosphere and feeling of being lost on an island. It was comfortable, relaxing and serene. The spa was amazing and I highly recommend getting a treatment here. Ask for Joanne. She is so good at her job.

Cons: The music playing from the mainland can be loud. Not the resort's fault.

Pros: Snorkeller's Cove and the free equipment was fantastic

Cons: Bathroom shower was basic and not much pressure Wifi was sporatic

Pros: Location is central and a short walk to downtown. Great to paddle out into the lagoon on the kayaks. Hired a driver for a couple of days to get around the island which the front desk will arrange - although it is easy enough to book one of the the various vans one encounters whilst walking.

Cons: The hot water was inconsistent. The adult only pool was normally empty and would have been great if open to children under adult supervision.

Pros: The setting was lovely - on the water. It was not very close to town but still only a short taxi ride away or a bit of a hike. The people were helpful and friendly.

Cons: We found the restaurant to be disappointing and preferred to eat in town. The breakfast was adequate but nothing special. There are excellent choices to eat in town.

Pros: Poppy’s is located close enough to town to access all the excitement of the other bars/restaurants but also far enough away to feel like you are on your own personal island. The resort staff are incredible and give Vanuatu itself a wonderful name. The gardens are outstanding and we spent hours walking the property. As a young family, we found having our own kitchen and space very accommodating. We will definitely be back.

Cons: Lighting in the bathrooms.

Pros: The staff at Poppy’s were very helpful and accomodating. They were always polite and kind, patient and understanding. The breakfast was great, the kids really looked forward to it.

Cons: The first room we were placed in was not the room we booked. This was sorted out early the next morning. We also had issues with the gas cooker, but again, this was sorted quickly. As a family we wanted to cook our own food but were quite limited with what we could do with 2 gas burners and a microwave.

Pros: Breakfast was pretty basic and most days we had to wait for fruit, coffee, bread to be replenished so we could eat.

Cons: Laundry facilities could have been included. A shuttle bus to town bearing in mind that hill to get out of the property.

Pros: Beautiful surroundings and well maintained gardens and apartment. We stayed up the hill with sea breezes keeping the temp down no air con needed. No request too much trouble for the staff.

Cons: The water temp in the shower varied between freezing and boiling which was a minor issue for us and didn’t take away from our enjoyment of the property.

Pros: Close to the water, Nice people, the food was good

Cons: At our room there was no wifi so we had to be in the main area to connect to wifi. We needed some information for the next location so we were dependent on wifi since we didn’t have any mobile service.

Pros: The rooms are nestled in a really beautiful garden setting. Our room was very comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful and well manored. The Cheff Mr White knows how to cook. His meals were spot on. All too often a restaurant will take your order for a medium rare steak and deliver a burnt offering but not at Poppy's. Great dining.

Cons: The broadband available was very slow and even the paid BB was undeliable in our room. We experienced some difficulty in controlling the hot water in our shower.

Pros: Good value for money, great location near the fire show (book in early), great snorkelling out front & safe, friendly staff.

Cons: Purchased food can be pricey & average - If you leave to early for flights you cant get breaky, but that happens many places!

Pros: The friendly staff & how they actually remembered me from a previous visit - also that they returned our luggage that was in storage ready for our return.

Cons: The toilet stopped flushing on the second night upon our return...and no follow up. BUT i know water is an issue there so it may happen?

Pros: I've seen this resort passing by and it looks very nice.

Cons: Had to cancel my reservation a week before my reservation but couldn't get my money back. To be fair, this is clearly stated in their policy. I just wish they were a bit more forgiving.

Pros: The hotel has a great location! Most of the room are facing to the ocean. It's also easy to access under water poster office and snorkel spot.

Cons: We booked a villa for family stay. The room itself is nice, good size and nice view. But the room is lack of maintenance, the shower is totally broken (I met another lady has the same problem with me), and we found some mud on the floor. Make sure check everything in the room after check in, it may save your time to sitting there and wait.

Pros: Stunning location not far from town. The staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful. The beds were comfortable and the food was fresh and delicious. Very affordable. The snorkeling was amazing! The island and the resort are a little slice of paradise!

Pros: We had an excellent time at Hideaway Island. We stayed in the villa with a pool and it exceeded our expectations. The pool was clean and the perfect temperature for a dip at any time of the day. The villa itself is quite large - two storeys with bed on the second level as well as a superb view of the ocean. We thought the included breakfast was a great inclusion; there were lots of options including fresh fruits, muffins, and toast with assorted condiments. We also loved being able to get out on the reef to see a vast array of brightly coloured fishes and corals. We also are so grateful for the friendly staff who were so hospitable and helpful during our stay.

Cons: The villa is a little dated and it would have been great if the pool was cleaned while we were there (although the filter was on the whole time which mostly kept it clean). We tried the beach side restaurant and found that dinner there was overpriced and only so-so; the Beach Bar on the main island of Efate is much better and cheaper!

Pros: Location. Snorkelling was THE BEST.

Cons: Room was really hot!!

Pros: Good snorkelling off the beach. Security staff were extra helpful to make sure you were ok. Ferry service was frequent.

Cons: Overall for the price paid expected a bit more. Rooms are dated, breakfast was dissapointing, you have to pay extra for a warm breakfast. Basic cereals and fruit is only offered for the free breakfast. Bathrooms were not dated, taps did not work and the shower head needs to be replaced. WiFi connection was very bad. Cultural dinner was overpriced.

Pros: The island has a lot to keep you occupied, with amazing snorkeling just off the beach. The room had a great wee fridge which kept everything super cold, a small sink and linen was 100% cotton which was ideal in the heat. All the gardens were well maintained with leaves cleared daily. The staff were very friendly and helpful, even the maintenance staff who were just coming to the island to do work for the day were helpful when we first arrived. Having use of the paddle board, kayak and snorkeling gear with the accommodation was a bonus too. Only 15mins to Port Vila and 24hr boat transfer to the island. Very chilled atmosphere on the island once the day trippers left and just the hotel guests remain.

Cons: The shared bathroom facilities were a wee bit drab, were always wet/damp and had water come out the doorway The room was under ventilated and rather stuffy, we could see wires were there had previously been a ceiling fan but this had been replaced by a standing fan which wasn't as powerful. The mosquito net on the window had also come off in one corner and not been repaired. The paddle boards were very run down, missing fins and a lot of grip. The snorkels and fins were also a tad run down.

Pros: Everything was great from the staff too the food and the facilities had an amazing time

Cons: I didn't like how everytime I used my card I got charged 3% on top of what I had already paid apart from that would have liked some cleaning supplies to be able to clean spills of coffee ect.

Cons: Check in took ages.

Pros: Well located Great breakfast Everything is simple with the staff

Pros: the location was fantastic. as it was our first time to Port Vila it was great to be centrally located.

Cons: the buffet breakfast at the property is over-priced for what you are getting.

Pros: The breakfast was superb! Huge buffet with everything

Pros: Modern hotel with an execellent breakfast offering.

Cons: Aircon struggled to keep the room cool. Reception and foyer stinks of smoke from the Casio. Telephone did not work in my room. Room service tried to deliver my rather average hamburger to the wrong room and the burger was subsequently delivered cold. Hotel double charged me for the room which I corrected on my return to Australia (refund was provided).

Pros: View from the balcony Pool Lunch menu

Cons: Wifi

Pros: The free breakfast by the pool was really good, albeit slightly limited for Gluten Free eaters

Pros: The personal in the whole hotel is so nice, helpful and flexibel. Always have time for you! Thanks a lot! So near the city. Perfect! The meals are great and breakfast so good! Whatever you want to do you can. Eat in your room, jump in the pool, company on the poolbar, being for yourself in the lovely room, going out to the city, see culture dance in the hotel, italien restaurant just next door etc...

Cons: Nothing. Perfect place just to hang out, relax and have a good time.

Pros: Really enjoyed the buffet breakfast which used local ingredients to make compotes. They have a great cultural show by the pool also.

Cons: Bed was a bit hard for my liking and was futon style.

Pros: Not much. The staff were friendly

Cons: Poor facilities, rooms and not the best location. Looks way better in the photos

Pros: See above.

Cons: We arrived at night and left early in the morning, so were unable to get meals or really check out the facilities.

Cons: The internet is only available in the lobby and not in the rooms.

Pros: Friendliness of the staff, the room, the pool, the breakfast (pancakes, croissant and all the yummy spreads), the amazing singer on Christmas Day.

Cons: I got sick the night before I left. Chicken toasted sanwhich. Was sick all night. Had nothing to eat all day so I knew it was this. Won't be back again

Pros: Everyone was very friendly and I had a great time. The room was nice and clean and had an aircondition.

Pros: Staff and pool

Cons: Bed . Food and internet

Pros: Everything. The staff were first class. The food was excellent & great value for money. The location was great. Comfortable, clean rooms. We will definitely go back. I would highly recommend Moorings.

Cons: The only downside was that they charged my debit card with Vatu.

Pros: Super friendly and helpful staff and good location on the bay

Cons: Rooms have shutter windows and exposed to a fair amount of noise, especially the ones near the pool

Pros: Close to town/ restaurants, right on the water front, clean, easy to catch a bus to places, reasonable food and drink prices.

Cons: Rooms aren’t very good at block noise from other guests (especially if you’re next to the pool)

Pros: The property is very close to City and it’s very my convenient location. I have stayed at moorings few times and will come back to stay at moorings every time I travel to Vila for Business and even Holiday

Pros: The view from my room as well as the dining experience,

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The place was great. I had the Harbour room. It was so beautiful and the view stunning. The bed super comfortable. It was very well located. The breakfast was good. The pool so nice. staff was very friendly.

Pros: Great pool. Rooms were clean and well presented. Staff were very friendly Location location location

Cons: Not many vegeterian meals on the menu

Pros: Good location

Cons: Very noisy through the walls.

Pros: The manager was friendly. The location good Some general improvements will be a good idea.

Cons: Wear and tear appears on the equipment, which I am sure is known factor

Pros: Great staff who were very friendly and helpful, very pleasant place with a swimming pool, great to have a kitchen to cook in and meet other people.

Pros: Its a nice budget option. Nice owner.

Pros: Amazing people! Truly recommended! You will feel like home from the first step you take. Love it hope to come back soon!

Pros: Close to town and fun bars and great restaurants. The staff and owner were charming, awesome, helpful.

Cons: The rooms were efficient but not great. My bathroom wasn’t clean and the towels old and tattered. I think it was overpriced for what you get. Walls were thin. Definitely a backpacker kind of place. But has all you will need to get by.

Pros: Gabby and the staff (Agnes in particular) were super helpful and responsive. Location is also great; conveniently close to the airport and centre if town.

Cons: Property could do with some general repair and fixing up. The fan in my room, as well as the toilet and vanity faucet didn’t work very well. Sink could also be cleaned up a bit more.

Pros: Beautiful position on the lagoon. Eating in the restaurant was a lovely experience, watching starfish, fish and sea cucumbers just below us and villages across the lagoon (not high rise hotels!). Lovely lush tropical gardens leading to the water. Local bus to Port Vila (and other areas) on the road just outside the property. Easy to use with Ursula’s Instructions.

Cons: There were some mosquitoes but coils and repellent were supplied by the property. I believe that there is a regular treatment of the grounds but that was to happen just after we left.

Pros: Free availability of kayaks. Beautiful grounds and location by the side of a waterway leading between 2 lagoons.

Cons: Pity there wasn't wifi in my chalet

Pros: The plants and flowers were beautiful, the lagoon view and the balcony was great.

Cons: The shower was rusty, the shower head height was up to my neck, the water pressure and temperature would change whenever it felt like it, the continental breakfast which was stated as being inclusive would be different depending on what the kitchen had in stock (it is essentially a fruit platter with some bread, juice and coffee). Two days there was no pineapple, watermelon, banana, or dragonfruit leaving the breakfast little to be desired. The restaurant was generally overpriced (Australia’s prices). The “private beach” is certainly private, so much that it is the next door neighbours private beach. The pool was not clean. We asked the reception to book us a table for the fire show at Mele Beach which they confirmed twice, but we showed up and no booking. We were also told that we could walk to Port Villa as it would be quick, but in fact was a 4-5km bus ride. There were ants and geckos in our room and we saw a few cockroaches whilst sitting on the balcony. I got home to Melbourne yesterday, opened up a purse which was permanently in my suitcase and a cockroach from there jumped out. I can’t say it was how we planned to spend our engagement week away.

Pros: Very comfortable bed. The view from our room was fantastic. Our hosts Ursula and Richard were wonderful. Very friendly and so helpful. The staff were great especially Serah. The chef was great. Food was very good

Pros: I loved everything about this place. It's a little gem and Ursula and Richard are perfect hosts. Make sure to eat the coconut crab there and to have an islander massage. They are the best! Check with my review on Trip Advisor for more detail. Don't go past this place...

Pros: Ursula, the owner, was lovely and helpful. We also appreciated the option of having air conditioning!

Pros: We only stayed one night and arrived quite late. The next morning we had a yummy breakfast out on the water and went for a fun snorkel right out the front of the hotel. There was some coral, lots of starfish, sea slugs and varied sealife. The room was clean and had all necessary elements for a comfortable stay. Lovely and kind staff.

Pros: Very clean spacious 1 bedroom apartment. The kitchen is well stocked so we were able to prepare meals here. The outside terrace is comfortable and shaded. Its about 20 to 25mins walk into town with a convenience store right next door.

Cons: Wifi was a bit weak.

Pros: A good value facilty & well located to be relatively close to Bauerfield Airport And when my flight was delayed, they allowed me to return & use my room for several hours in the morning after checking out

Cons: The fact they don't accept credit cards for payment

Pros: Lovely people who could not do more to help. But reality was we did not get any sleep due to sheer noise of inconsiderate others in the area, dogs barking, cats, roosters constantly crowing, cars speeding up the road etc. Perhaps had we been provided with a contact number been provided we could have requested someone come down and ask others to quiet down. When we wanted to shower to feel better not an option because no hot water. So while lovely people trying so hard, unfortunately was not a great experience at all. Internet was good.

Cons: No hot water Noise - in every shape and form No one to contact regarding the noise when it continued all night long by inconsiderate others

Pros: Very clean, great value. Staff very helpful with directions.

Pros: No breakfast

Cons: Would have liked tea/coffee available

Pros: Close to the airport, big room.

Cons: Too much noise during the night

Pros: The property was secluded yet within walking distance of the town. Staff were amazing and drink prices whilst not cheap were not overly expensive

Cons: An airport transfer

Pros: Location was amazing

Cons: The food took a long time to be served. Staff were not very helpful when our flight was delayed.

Pros: Great array of sporting facilities and pools for the whole family ! Friendly staff.

Cons: Reception staff could be more helpful.

Pros: Relaxing.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Breakfast was fine, but too expensive.

Pros: Stunning resort. Staff were friendly and welcoming. We stayed in the overwater bungalow and it was spacious and had a large spa bath. The view was beautiful. The shower pressure was great. Room service was fast. The service at the bar and restaurants was fast, they aren’t on island time like most places we visit. The golf clubs are free to use and same with the kayak equipment. Close to airport.

Cons: The food was average, could have been a lot better. The sound of the roosters at night made it hard to sleep.

Pros: The space was positive

Cons: I was travelling on business so it was not really suitable. It is a hotel geared for young families and package holidays. It needs to be modernized and although the breakfast was excellent I only once had dinner, as that experience has enough. Having to go into Port Vile each night for dinner was not appreciated. It has the potential to be great hotel.

Pros: Ambience is good close to downtown .. reception staff is very helpful. Specially willams who was the manager at the hotel he is good he helped us. Close to the airport

Pros: Price, location is great if you need to be near the airport and plenty of busses out font.

Cons: On the main road between the airport and town so can be loud at times. Wifi was patchy at night.

Pros: Nothing

Pros: Friendly staff, complimentary coffee and tea, good price. 20min from down town, 10min from bakery, 5 from supermarket and fruit stall

Cons: Bedroom close to the road, noisy

Pros: Good location if you need to catch an international flight the next day. 20mins walk to central Vila. Helpful staff allowed to leave our luggage in a storage room. Room had a ceiling fan which is really important. Probably one of the cheapest decent budget options in Port Vila

Cons: Shower and WC could be cleaned more properly.

Cons: Check in, did not give me the room I reserved, instead a small room, second floor next to noisy residents. This hotel has mostly locals living there, filthy property. You pay for internet, but they dont tell you in does not work on second floor until you pay them. Wont issue refund once you realize it doesnt work in your room. Have to pay extra for air conditioner. Nobody is visitor industry trained, just bunch of dummies at front desk. Stay away from this place unless this is all you can afford.

Cons: Room i was in didnt have much natural light and ventilation. Room had a smell and staff asked extra money for Air Con which i didnt expect

Pros: Excellent budget accommodation with friendly staff and very clean rooms

Cons: Could hear neighbours as very thin wall at end of property but they stopped talking before 10pm so we slept fine.

Pros: Best location- quiet but in the center of the city.

Cons: View from balcony

Pros: The location is the equal best in Port Vila: you need to be on the harbour as anything else comparable is relatively remote. The staff were all friendly and well trained. The newly appointed General Manager was excellent - nothing was too much trouble.

Cons: The bathroom and pool need a bit of work however we understand renovation works are scheduled soon. THe breakfast choices were limited and warrant some amendments.

Pros: Friendly reception staff and location.

Cons: The dirtiest bathroom I have ever stayed in. Smoking seating area right beside the wide open window of the restaurant.

Pros: Great staff- very friendly and accomodating. Views were great from the room and was reasonably clean

Cons: There were spiders in the wall which wasn't that pleasant and out stove tops did not work.

Pros: Very relaxing, nice food, staff amazing. Loved the beach bar attached to the resort. New years Eve was amazing and a bonfire each night on the beach. Loved watching the sun go down on the bay with a nice drink, wood fire pizza and good company. We were even given a welcome gift of local jam, chocolate and nuts in a little basket.

Cons: I was quite happy with the location, room and service. Nothing to fault.
