Lovely stay at Fatumaru Lodge, parts bit dated as expected but all in all was ok for the price. Power problems persisted in our unit the whole visit with power going off every now and again but staff quickly reacted turning it back on. Would suspects too much of a load on the mains power. Hot water in shower was a bit of a trick to master but once you got the knack of it you could have a great shower. Would recommend asking for unit Walla which was upstairs but great private view towards Port Vila.

We had a one night stay before heading to an island. Staff were very accommodating and helpful with transfers. We liked our room with a water view - very comfortable. The pool was great. We had a rate with breakfast which was ok but croissants were burnt.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Fatumaru Lodge. Beautiful, tranquil, peaceful, clean, and very well priced. We enjoyed the pool, the hammock near the ocean and the view from our beachfront unit a great deal. Request a top floor room for added privacy. The staff were lovely. It’s a 20 minute walk to town centre, or 150vt pp on the local bus, which you can easily hail at the front of the accommodation on the main road. Highly recommend!

We have stayed at Fatumaru Lodge many times and we love it, it feels better then home. If you like to kayak or stand up paddling you have it right out your front balcony. (kayaks and stand up boards are provided free of charge) If you like to swim they have a pool just out your back door, the pool area has lots of shade and a BBQ you can use. You get beautiful view of the sunset that cover the sky in lovely colours which we look forward even night. The rooms have very large king size bed with a small kitchenet. The staff can book your airport transfers at the best price and they transfers staff will have a sign with your name on it at the airport gate. When taking a bus or taxi around town every driver knows how to get to Fatumaru Lodge. It about a 20 minute into town and you pass many bars and restaurants and long the way. We have plans to come back to Port Vila and we will be booking here again.

Great stay. Easy check in and out. Staff friendly and helpful. Well equiped room with beautiful view to lagoon. Close enough to walk into town for meals, but room is set up for self catering also. Only stayed overnight prior to flying home the next day and is convenient to airport. Resort was happy for us to check in a little earlier and also check out a bit later

Beautiful lodge with pool and beach access
Beautiful, semi-secluded lodge still walking distance to restaurants and Port Vila central district. The decor is just right and the balcony a huge perk. Nice kitchenette too. All in all, a good place to spend a few nights. Note: the upper bedrooms have an open upper wall in the toilet/bathroom, so there is little "noise" privacy if travelling with a companion. Something to keep in mind if this is a concern for you.
