We were very well looked after by the ladies at the Beachfront Apartments.Our room was cleaned daily. My husband used one of the kayaks which are free to use.They also have bikes , free to use, but we are a little old for that. The cafe onsite was great and there is a beach bar just down the beach. The free circus on Sunday nights there is a must. You can walk or ferry to Hideaway Island which is a marine Sanctuary so great for swimming and snorkelling. If you are wanting comfortable, homely surroundings out of town this is for you.

Great location away from the city center but right on the beach. Staffs (especially Rota) were extremely polite and always willing to help. The apartment had everything we needed to be our home away from home. The property is very kids friendly as it has a playground, kids club and even iguana patting time. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend this property to anyone especially families.

This is the second time that we have stayed at this property and again they did not let us down. This time we stayed in the 4 bedroom penthouse. it has great facilities, including a full kitchen. I love that it is out of town (but not to far) that you can relax and the beach is right in your door step. The ladies that look after you are amazing, nothing is ever to hard. a short 2 mins walk and you are at the Beach Bar which has great meals. Thank you Beachfront apartments and we hope to visit again!

We had a family of 6 staying (including two kids (4 and 2)) and the in-laws. Given the numbers we booked the 4 bedroom penthouse, and wow it was great! Looking out from the balcony you can see hideaway island and the whole of Mele Bay. It is absolutely spectacular. The staff are super friendly, and showed my kids the pet iguanas. They also had a kids club for a couple of hours each day which was a good break and the kids adored Jacky and Eva. Getting into town wasn't hard, you can walk out to the main road and catch a local bus or call one from the Beach Bar. Speaking of the Beach Bar the food was great and it's a lovely place to watch the sunset (and just a short stroll up the beach). They close early (8:30) so there are no particular issues with noise. The beach in front of the apartments is great for swimming and for little kids. The food we ordered (and cocktails) from the bar at the Apartments were great. When we took off from Pt Vila airport my daughter burst into tears because she didn't want to leave Vanuatu, and that's a reflection of the Vanuatu Beachfront Apartments staff in particular. Just to balance my (very genuine) praise if you are looking for 5 star luxury this isn't the place. The shower needed a good clean and some aspects of the property are a bit tired. But if you want absolute beachfront and super friendly staff and great value overall this is a superb choice. I can't wait to book again.

Perfect for families and beach!
We had a fantastic family holiday at Vanuatu Beachfront Apartments. The back 2 bedroom apartment was great for us, as we didn’t need to worry too much about the kids making noise early in the morning and waking other guests. Breakfast being served each morning at our outdoor patio table or by the pool overlooking the beach was a real bonus! The staff were friendly and helpful. The location was great with direct beachfront access to a sandy calm beach, and only 100 metres from the beach bar which has a free fire show, circus and outdoor movie night. The room was cleaned sufficiently daily. There were however a lot of ants, but this is to be expected on a tropical island. The daily cocktail special changed each day and were the cheapest on the island. We hired their driver for two days to take us around the island, and he showed us all the best spots! Cheaper and easier than hiring a car! We definitely recommend for families and hope to stay again!

Fantastic spot, excellent apartmentment
We stayed in the 2 bed apartment (room 4), and it led straight onto the pool, which is only 5 meters from the beach. Had a lovely time with our 6 month old and 5 year old, excellent staff, and a great location with Hideaway Island a short kayak away, and the Beach Bar 5 mins along the beach. Very clean rooms and thoughtful extras, extra friendly and helpful staff, and a small bar/kitchen with cheap (for Vanuatu) cocktails and handy food options. The apartments are about 10 mins by car from the airport, but ensure you get directions as they are positioned in an unsigned gated community - not that that's an issue just know where you're going if hiring a car. HIghly recommend, excellent choice.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
If all you’re looking for is cheap accomodation, then this is a good option. It felt more like a hostel communal type place. The place is very run down and dirty. Our cutlery drawer had a dead cockroach and the place was dusty/dirty. The walls are super thin so you can hear everything going on outside. We heard a baby crying through the night and partying. The only air conditioner in the 4 bed “penthouse” was located in the master bed which meant we had to stay in that room whilst there to stay cool. We were meant to stay for 3 nights, but left after one. The staff didn’t show any concern and didn’t bother to ask why. The entire stay was non-refundable but no gesture of goodwill was made for the complaints we did bring up. Definitely would not recommend this place.

We loved staying here! The rooms were very roomy, clean and were well equipped. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Pool was nice but could also walk directly onto the beach to swim. The Beach Bar next door was great and hosted a fantastic fire show on Friday nights. Easy to catch buses into town or to Mele Cascades if you walk up the driveway to the main road.

Good access to everything
V.B.A is located in a very convenient position. The famous Beach Bar is a short walk along Mele beach and Hideaway Island ferry departs from a jetty out the front of the Bar. The snorkeling around the island is fantastic! Privately operated Local Buses can be hired from the car park outside the bar to take you to Port Villa but V.B.A's very own driver "Tully" is a champion and his bus is clean and air conditioned. We found it a little frustrating that the staff were not always around to man oceans bar and cafe but when they were the service was mostly friendly. The pool area and deck are rite on the beach and our kids used the pool every day. You help yourself to the water sport gear however the stand up paddle board was falling apart and unusable. The crushed coral pathways are rough so getting around the resort in bare feet was hard work, especially for the kids. The kids club is small and operates once a day for 2-3 hours but our kids played on the equipment and in the play room at other times too. Overall we found it good value and safe for the kids.

Relaxing Location with Excellent Service!
We stayed in the 2 bedroom beachfront unit in March 2017. Unit is right on beach in a quiet location. Your view looks out over Mele Bay and Hideaway Island. There is a Café/ bar poolside and the ladies their serve excellent cocktails! Also a beach bar restaurant just 1 minute walk down the beach from apartment that has an amazing Fire Show every Friday night! The staff at Vanuatu Beachfront Apartments are very good at helping organise any day trips you might want to do. Highly recommend the zip lining which is only 5-10 minutes from the apartments! The rooms are nice and have everything you need. Would recommend staying here again as its not a very big place so you won't have to contend with many other visitors. We felt like we had the place to ourselves most of the time.

Idyllic spot on Mele Bay
We have just returned from a really wonderful week's holiday at the Vanuatu Beachfront apartments, with our teenage daughter. It is only a small complex of 6 apartments so never felt busy. We had a very comfortable 2 bedroom apartment set back in the grounds but still with an ocean view, so very quiet and we even had a ready made supply of bananas right outside our door. There are an assortment of kayaks and stand-up paddleboards for guests to use so an early morning paddle in the kayak over to Hideaway Island, only a few hundred metres away, was a great way to start each day. The very lively Beach Bar is only a minute's walk along the sand and their Friday night fire show is spectacular and not to be missed. The apartment is very well set up to self cater and it is only a 300 vatu minibus ride in to Port Vila to stock up on groceries. There is free wifi and a great selection of movies on demand. The owner Damien is extremely helpful and friendly and all the staff, who come from the nearby village of Mele, are delightful, in particular Juliet, who was always happy to help, and Tully the bus driver who very kindly drove us in to Port Vila on our first day and waited patiently while we did a big grocery shop and then a fruit and vegie shop at the markets.
