Lelepa Island, Shefa hotel rooms at the Independent

"Great stay for the family. The 2 pools were great for both the kids and the ocean swimming waa even better. The unit was large and allowed us to spend time together comfortably "

" Great "

"Everyone was so welcoming and helpful. We stayed 6 nights in total and absolutely loved it. The food was delicious and the pool was so wonderful to swim in. We could borrow kayaks from the resort and kayak on the river too. So much fun and so relaxing. Thank you for a wonderful stay :-)"

"The staff are simply beautiful. All amenities are reflected accordingly in their description. New cabins being built which will be exciting for people travelling there shortly. Chef John is awesome! You MUST have his croissants for breakfast. Make sure to pat ‘Lucky’ the cat, he is adorable "

"Our eight night stay was a delight. Our accommodation was clean, comfortable and spacious. We took the full board option, which in our opinion was a must and a real value add to our booking. The food choices are varied and the quality of food is outstanding. Some of the cooking was questionable when it comes to med/rare meat or not rendered lamb cutlets, but they definitely do seafood very well. What makes this a great holiday is the island of Iririki and the most happy friendly staff. Nothing was a problem and only too willing to do their job with an ever present smile and happy mood. The pool areas were very nice and well appointed. The beach and snorkelling areas need upgrading, but are still clean and serviceable."

"I booked this place for a friend in Vanuatu so didn't personally stay there. The booking online was very quick and easy and my friend found check in quick and easy."

"Rooms are very clean and have all of the essentials.The staff are very friendly and always ready to help their customers."

"We absolutely loved our stay at Fatumaru Lodge—a perfect base for our family holiday in Vanuatu. The room was spacious and well-equipped, with cooking facilities, a proper fridge and freezer (a big plus with kids!), and plenty of room to relax. The view from our room was stunning—sparkling water by day, beautiful sunsets from the sundeck by night. It was peaceful, picturesque, and felt like our own slice of paradise. It’s also in a super convenient location—an easy walk to local cafes and restaurants, with a bus stop right outside if you want to head into town. Friendly staff, a relaxing vibe, and everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We’d absolutely recommend Fatumaru Lodge to any family visiting Port Vila!"

"A great place to stay. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the food was good as well. The mattress wasn't the most comfortable, but other than that everything was great."
