Found the toilets needed some TLC. Place wont be the same without a restaurant:(

Geraldine and co are amazing hosts. Place won't be the same without them.

Hard to come up with anything. Maybe get a bungalow with a dryer.

Idyllic location far enough out of Port Vila but still close enough to access shops and supermarket etc (rent a car). The jetty out onto the reef with easy access for snorkelling in clear water. The bungalows are large and all the facilities you need. The restaurant and bar offered great food and conversation.

Private bungalow with sea views and far enough from town to have clean water for swimming and snorkeling with plenty of fish to see. Good for relaxation and to get away from the hustle of the city life. Geraldine the manager was very welcoming and helpful with all kind of information about the island. The restaurant offered good value meals with freshly available ingredients.

It was a little far from town and restaurant wasn’t open the whole week

I liked how it accomodated 4 families

It was a little moldy and run down but suited us fine

The amount of room we had in our bungalow and also the outdoor spaces. Great for the kids to run around and explore

Restaurant only open Thurs to Sunday for lunch dinner. The resort advertises beachfront but there isn't a beach only deep water off a jetty/Wharf..not really suitable for kids or swimming

Staff were lovely in.. snorkeling is good

There was no continental breakfast provided when it was meant to be part of the package. This will likely relate to just opening up from a long layoff and staffing/cost issues involved in opening the restaurant. Lunch and dinner were to start to happen from Thursday to Sunday. After Covid disruptions the place was in need of some maintenance which was getting under way.

The location was wonderful because it was right beside some of the best coral we have seen in years - just walk off the jetty and you were in wonderland - even corals we had not seen before, lots of reef fish and even a passing turtle. There was a potholed road to negotiate to get there but hopefully it will be graded and sealed soon. Geraldine was very helpful - she arranged to buy in some food as we were coming in late afternoon and had no food for dinner that night or breakfast next morning; she organised airport transfers and brought the bicycles out of storage for us to use.

It was a dirt road to get to the property which was annoying but would you believe it, they started paving the road the day we left!

So much goodness - but let’s start with the snorkelling. Walk 50 metres from your bungalow and you jump straight into the best snorkelling you’ve ever done. Greens, blues, purples, oranges - it’s better than anything you’ve ever seen. And no need to travel by boat for an hour to get there - it’s 30 seconds from your door. One day I went snorkelling FOUR TIMES. Caroline and Damien went out of their way to make it special. They have incredible resort experience and know how to ensure their guests have a great time. We were best mates by the time we left. They even took us to the Beach Bar where we saw the most incredible fire show we’ve ever seen - I doubt we’ll ever see better. Out of this world. You’re also close to the zip line which we can also recommend. And finally, food in the restaurant was the best food we had in Vanuatu. Rounded out a wonderful stay. Loved it!

Too far to walk to any coffee shops or food outlets. Really need a car. Restaurant on site only open Fri/Sat nights…and apparently closing down soon. A strange business move considering there is nowhere else to eat around there. Upon arrival to our cabin I nearly threw up with what I found in the toilet!!! Absolutely disgusting! Had to go buy my own cleaning products just so my kids and I could use the shower/toilet for 5 days! Towels were stained and dirty, torn curtains in bedrooms, ants/bugs everywhere. Kitchen was filthy and utensils/crockery looked like they’d never been washed. Ceiling fans rusty and dirty, made loud screeching noise so couldn’t sleep with it on, also couldn’t sleep with it off due to the humidity and NO air conditioning!! TV didn’t work either-lucky I brought a good book to read when it rained. Didn’t use the kitchen at all…too scared. Don’t know how people rate it so highly…..must be the owners writing their own reviews.

Quiet location….surrounded by nature and tropical scenery. Can feed fish from the jetty and see all sorts of tropical breeds.

It was a bit far to get to main places, but this meant you had less smog and more privacy.

Just outside Mele village, Island Magic was a fantastic place to stay! Right near the ocean and coral reef, the place exuded relaxation. Had the loveliest stay with great hosts (thank you Gerry and Yun!).
