Coconut Palms Resort

The room and bedding was clean, but there were ants. Only one sachet of caramel coffee provided per person (no tea or sugar), and the room was not serviced daily to replace the coffee or clean, so the floor was dirty after a while. The shower lacked pressure and heat, and the shower curtain had mold. Outside the bathroom window was a local family who could be noisy, had barking dogs, a rooster, and burnt their rubbish so the room would get smoky. The TV was not set up properly and in Chinese only. Our room had a 3000 Vatu deposit, which we tried to pay with a 5000 Vatu note, but they didn't have change! So we didn't pay it at all, not that there was anything to use or steal to warrant the need for a security deposit (other than the kettle, towels, bedding). And there was a tacky casino in the front lobby. However, it was a good location with two convenience stores nearby down the hill, and the Australian High Commission, and down some (steep) stairs to the highway to access eateries, ATM's etc, and a short walk north to the markets and shops. Rue Cornwall also had a lot of local buses passing by offering cheap fares into the town centre or to to become your tour guide for the day to take you to on 3-4 hour trips to tourist attractions for 10000-15000 Vatu. If you're looking for a cheap place to use as a base and somewhere to sleep and wash only so you can spend lots of time exploring, then this is a good place to stay.

Need a lot of improvements

The location is great, very close to restaurants, bars, and even government offices. I have to say, the staff is really wonderful—very warm and friendly. The value for money is still quite high.

Good place for the price. The casino is only some slot machines and the restaurant hasn't been open for a while. The rooms are decent and the staff is good. I've stayed there a few times now.

Roaches everywhere, no wifi,
