This was a small boutique hotel, fairly quiet and nice views over the lagoon. The room was clean and the bed extremely comfortable, unfortunately we had several power outages through out our stay, at times became very difficult for my daughter and 12 week old baby especially in the evenings. It also interfered each time with the tv so ended up with no Netflix, which we only watched at bed time. The pool was nice a few mosaic tiles missing on the steps, but nice and clean. The decking around the pool in areas needs attention as a little unsafe. It was a shame that the wooded louvre doors didn’t have mosquito netting on so we could have the slats open at night. The staff were helpful

Fatumaru Lodge was a wonderful safe haven in Vanuatu. We explored the island a lot including going over to Irikiri Island and Hideaway Island and each time were so much happier with our accomodation at Fatumaru Lodge. Key benefits: - very peaceful and quiet. You rarely hear staff or other guests - extremely roomy. We had the 2 bedroom and felt like it had lots of space. - very strong air conditioning - very comfy beds - great outdoor balcony for drying clothes and catching last of the sun - beautiful sunsets - the pool is the perfect temperature and very clean - the location is amazing. Easy walk to a tiny complex which has a food court massage bakery, and then walkable to Banyan Beach bar and main port villa town is about 18 mins from accomodation - staff are helpful and friendly. They helped us book taxis answer questions and never felt overbearing Our stay at Fatumaru Lodge was definitely the best part of our Vanuatu trip.

The review for the hotel is decidedly mediocre. The property is in a state of disrepair, and while we were given a renovated room—meaning the kitchen appliances were new—the rest of the room was nothing special. The bathroom was in extremely poor condition, with one side of the toilet seat broken off. It looked like it hadn’t been properly cleaned in a long time. The bathroom was in barely acceptable condition, clearly not renovated for many years. The sinks and shower were completely clogged with limescale, making it nearly impossible for water to drain. We reported the lack of Internet on the first day, yet it wasn’t fixed until our departure on the final day. The staff didn’t seem to care and barely acknowledged our complaint. The pool was out of service, and there was an overwhelming amount of dirt throughout the area. Trash was left lying around, and it felt like no one bothered to clean it up. On our last day, they began renovating the roof, resulting in constant noise and chaos. We were promised a welcome drink, but despite asking, it never materialized; our inquiry was completely ignored. The cleaning service was subpar, with towels left drying on the office roof. Room cleaning was a joke—one piece of paper that fell on the floor stayed in the exact same spot until we returned. The whole place felt neglected and poorly managed. This hotel clearly operates on its own flawed rules, and I would not recommend it to anyone.

The reception staff is friendly. The parking is limited but OK if other guest don't all have cars. The rooms have been re-done, a bit local style (i.e. not very well but enough for cosmetic pictures to look good on the reservation sites). View is nice. If you open the wooden louvers (only way to get light in the room), there no screens on the window (all bugs come in). The water pressure in the shower is very low. The toilet seat was half attached. The fuse box of the electric system was worringly wired with cables going every which way. The bed is comfy, the bedding good. There is no cable TV. The wifi speeds are horrendous, can't even load youtube videos in lowest format without interruptions until all guests are out of their rooms.

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!

Fatumaru Lodge exceeded our expectations! it is tucked away in a quite area off the main road, walking distance to the local shops, cafes, markets and other Port Vila must see's. The staff were always friendly, accommodating, and made us feel very at home. The resort is getting constant upgrades and you can tell a lot of work has been put into it and continues to - what was surprising was the lush and well maintained gardens around the resort - so lovely, and it was so tidy - and our view was next level, we had such a great stay and made some great memories, thank you!

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!

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.

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.

I loved staying at the lodge. It is close to a lot of Port Villa's attractions and town. Lovely staff and facilities. My only issue was the hot water. I only managed 2 days out of 7 to get one. The weather was warm but not warm enough for a cold shower. I would still stay again at the lodge but would hope the hot water system will improve.

The fuse box of the electric system was worringly wired with cables going every which way. The bed is comfy, the bedding good. There is no cable TV. The wifi speeds are horrendous, can't even load youtube videos in lowest format without interruptions until all guests are out of their rooms.

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.

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

We loved staying at the Fatumaru Lodge! It is clean; staff is friendly; and location is beautiful. Our flight was delayed to Port Villa and the hotel was understanding/checked us in late. They also helped us schedule transportation to/from the airport. We cannot wait to visit again!

The review for the hotel is decidedly mediocre. The property is in a state of disrepair, and while we were given a renovated room—meaning the kitchen appliances were new—the rest of the room was nothing special. The bathroom was in extremely poor condition, with one side of the toilet seat broken off. It looked like it hadn’t been properly cleaned in a long time. The bathroom was in barely acceptable condition, clearly not renovated for many years. The sinks and shower were completely clogged with limescale, making it nearly impossible for water to drain. We reported the lack of Internet on the first day, yet it wasn’t fixed until our departure on the final day. The staff didn’t seem to care and barely acknowledged our complaint. The pool was out of service, and there was an overwhelming amount of dirt throughout the area. Trash was left lying around, and it felt like no one bothered to clean it up. On our last day, they began renovating the roof, resulting in constant noise and chaos. We were promised a welcome drink, but despite asking, it never materialized; our inquiry was completely ignored. The cleaning service was subpar, with towels left drying on the office roof. Room cleaning was a joke—one piece of paper that fell on the floor stayed in the exact same spot until we returned. The whole place felt neglected and poorly managed. This hotel clearly operates on its own flawed rules, and I would not recommend it to anyone.

Fatumaru Lodge exceeded our expectations! it is tucked away in a quite area off the main road, walking distance to the local shops, cafes, markets and other Port Vila must see's. The staff were always friendly, accommodating, and made us feel very at home. The resort is getting constant upgrades and you can tell a lot of work has been put into it and continues to - what was surprising was the lush and well maintained gardens around the resort - so lovely, and it was so tidy - and our view was next level, we had such a great stay and made some great memories, thank you!

It was lovely to be able to have a morning swim in the lagoon each day. An easy walk into town and multiple waterside restaurants and bars. The hotel is a great compromise of being just far enough out of town to be quiet, but still walkable.

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!

Fatumaru Lodge was a wonderful safe haven in Vanuatu. We explored the island a lot including going over to Irikiri Island and Hideaway Island and each time were so much happier with our accomodation at Fatumaru Lodge. Key benefits: - very peaceful and quiet. You rarely hear staff or other guests - extremely roomy. We had the 2 bedroom and felt like it had lots of space. - very strong air conditioning - very comfy beds - great outdoor balcony for drying clothes and catching last of the sun - beautiful sunsets - the pool is the perfect temperature and very clean - the location is amazing. Easy walk to a tiny complex which has a food court massage bakery, and then walkable to Banyan Beach bar and main port villa town is about 18 mins from accomodation - staff are helpful and friendly. They helped us book taxis answer questions and never felt overbearing Our stay at Fatumaru Lodge was definitely the best part of our Vanuatu trip.

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.

We had the most lovely view of the bay from our balcony, and were delighted by the comfort of our bed. Although we only spent one night here, it was great to take advantage of the nearby dining options within reasonable walking distance. I would recommend these accommodations to those with decent mobility (the driveway from the hotel to the main road is rather steep) who enjoy a little more tranquility. Sadly, it was raining too much to take advantage of the kayaks, etc. One caveat: the transportation to and from the hotel was an issue for us. It took close to an hour to get our pre-scheduled ride from the airport to the hotel. This was apparently because the contract between the hotel and the taxi service had ended, but we ended up being the last ones at the airport. And when we departed, our taxi arrived about 20 minutes later than we had scheduled.
