What guests think

At Poppy's on the Lagoon, travellers repeatedly praise the friendly, helpful staff and peaceful lagoon-side setting with pleasant views, while also noting that swimming or snorkelling in the lagoon is commonly discouraged.

Rooms are generally clean and comfortable, many with kitchen facilities and lagoon views, though decor feels dated for some and occasional maintenance or privacy issues and patchy Wi-Fi are reported. There are several pools and free kayaks, plus plenty of places to relax; it is a walkable base for shops and dining in town. Restaurant food is widely liked though service can be unhurried, and the continental breakfast receives mixed feedback on variety and value. Expect a relaxed base with friendly service and simple comforts.

The lagoon isn’t great for swimming and its a but tired but it’s what you pay for. You will need to travel out a bit to go snorkeling and have a nice meal but the staff are lovely and the breakfast is ample and the rooms are comfortable.

If breakfast would be buffet, it will be better, so that we can take what is required and avoid wastage. Almost all staff were amazing except one or two. Property was advertised with lots of activities in Lagoon but nothing was available. I believe there will be better options with similar price. Some of tours offer via front office where 20 to 40 percent cheaper when we enquired from outside.

The property had really nice places to sit and relax. Amazing views. We werent allowed to swim at the lagoon, it would have been a better experience. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Great food quality at their restaurant. We had a continental breakfast not bad to get you through the morning. They had 3 pools, a family one, an adults only and infinity pool. The property was very clean and rooms were cleaned every day. A special thank you to the staff that decorated a special area for our 1 year anniversary, they went above and beyond. We both had a memorable time. We would go back for sure. We enjoyed it thoroughly.

Is a beautiful place to stay. Rained a lot during stay which played havoc with the pools. Staff are lovely. Rooms are spacious. The place as a whole is probably in need of some TLC and more information available on things to do would be handy. But I would return

We loved our room that had an excellent view from the balcony overlooking the Lagoon. The bed was comfy, the A/C was clean and quite, the shower was good, and we loved having a fully kitted kitchen in the room with, fridge, gas hob, microwave, kettle, toaster, pots, pans, cutlery, cups & plates. The breakfast was very good too, which included toast, croissants, yoghurts, fruit, cereals, tea, coffee, juice, milk, jam, butter & marmalade, and was brought to the room by the lovely staff at about 8am every morning. The cleaning staff, especially Rachel, were an absolute delight, and kept the room nice, clean and tidy every day.

Overall we had a very comfortable stay. The rooms have everything you need and are well equipped. There are two air conditions in the 2 bedroom apartments which helped to cool down the entire apartment. Rooms were cleaned everyday which was nice. Pillows and bedding were very comfortable. Some issues were the apartments did not have blockout blinds although we were told nobody could see in at night you could see through the window and also it was very bright. There was only one area to put your clothes in one of the rooms. Only two locks on two of the doors. The power cut out a few times when we would start appliances and one of the power points were burnt. But overall I would stay at Poppy’s again. My family really enjoyed their time.

Apart from 1 staff member, the rest were really rude and dismissive. Shower was mouldy, breakfast was usually a little stale, sheets did not feel clean/my skin itched like crazy everytime I was in bed. Restaurant food tasted good but staff were inconsistent in providing table service. Wifi was absolutely shocking, I barely even had service in my room so I couldn't even use mobile data. I was advised the lagoon was contaminated when I arrived so no swimming or any water sports apart from kayaking. The resort itself is beautiful but overall was quite expensive for the poor experience.

Staff kept forgetting thing all the time and I had to remind them every day to bring me breakfast and don't take my laundry basket away etc... When I politely complained about service for stuff, their reactions were not apologizing. Instead more like I they showed some tiredness or were not happy that I say about things...

Poppies is a nice relaxing bush setting. The lagoon is not blue and clean. We were advised the lagoon is not safe to swim in, the water is murky light brown. The staff are friendly, like all people from Vanuatu we met. We had no shampoo/conditioner in our room until the 3rd day of our stay after asking for 3 days. The free continental breakfasts are generous and good variety of food delivered to your room with instant coffee.
