Holiday Inn Resort Vanuatu by IHG

Holiday Inn Resort Vanuatu by IHG

8/10 Good
"We had a great stay at Holiday Inn Resort. We were able to get interconnected rooms for our family of five and this worked out well. The rooms were comfortable and had everything we needed. We loved the pool and all the little spots to relax, and the staff were friendly and helpful from the moment we arrived. Buffet breakfast was reliable - pizzas at the pool were fantastic and we loved the fire show! Only real downside was the location, a shuttle service to and from town would have been helpful, as the independent taxi driver service was a little hit or miss. We did walk to the supermarket which was doable, but did feel a bit isolated - that said, it was quiet and had a relaxing outlook over the lagoon as a result of its location."

10/10 Excellent
"It was so special to return to Iririki after enjoying our honeymoon there 18 years ago, this time bringing our children! The same warmth and hospitality greeted us, and we loved our stay in the deluxe family fare, Everything was excellent throughout our stay, we did the snorkelling tour, enjoyed massages at the infinity spa and had fun at trivia night and kava tasting. Snorkelers Cove is such a gem too! Special shout out to Ruby who was a consistent highlight. The island itself is incredible but it’s the staff who make the experience so wonderful."

"Hi Island Magic Resort is a little bit out of Port Vila which we enjoyed. We also loved the self catering....could get fresh vegies and fish from the markets but also great to have Birdies cafe on site after busy day snorkling etc. The food was delicious especially the specials and the staff were lots of fun. The villas were lovely and had everything we needed for a relaxing break. It's also an easy walk to Tanna Coffee which was an added bonus."
