6/10 Good

Hotel and staff were fab, our only issue was the pool was out of action for maintenance. I know this needs to be done but when a main part of your holiday plans was to laze around a pool it did put a dampener on things. You could go over to Iririki Island to have a swim in the pool but at $25 per person it’s not feasible for the duration of the holiday. Vouchers should have been offered, or at least an email explaining and giving the option to rebook somewhere else.

Great Hotel
The Hotel and location are great, our issue was that next door to the hotel is a shipping dock and a shipyard, a barge was continuously running a bilge pump, and the ship yard continuously banging on the hull renovating an old ship, in turn very noisy during the day and night especially if out on the balcony.

This is a perfect spot to stay in the heart of Vila. Close to the markets and an easy walk to all that Vila has to offer. The pool and pool area are a great place to relax with a cold tusker. Like all places in Vanuatu, the staff is what makes the stay special. Everyone goes above and beyond to ensure your stay is enjoyable. The food at the restaurant was also fantastic. Overall I would recommend if you want to stay in the heart of Vila.

Needs a lot of help, currently it’s just a place to stay and, to be honest, not worth it.

6/10 Good

We have stayed at the grand on several occasions.Imagine our surprise when we walked into our room to find we had nothing to put our clothes in. On previous visits they had storage space ie a dresser with the tv on top ,This time tv on the wall no storage.In the managements wisdom they supply one luggage rack we had two suitcases and had to request another rack.We spent our week living out of a suitcase I can only hope the hotel is awaiting delivery of suitable storage furniture.Some additional irritants a casino filled with noxious cigarette smoke and a problem with water supply. Outlook disappointed has been much better in the past.

Everything inside the property was excellent. Although parts of the the facility are currently under renovation, there was no inconvenience to guests. The staff were very friendly and professional and even helped us with a taxi driver who over charged our group. Sadly the area outside the facility has the same problem with the rest of Port Vila roads....in need of major overhaul & repairs.
