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.

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

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.

The staff at Fatumaru were very friendly and helpful. Comfy bed with large mosquito net (essential!) and a beautiful water view to wake up to. It's walkable to everything yet is super quiet so easy to get a good night's sleep. As from other reviews, the dripping shower was still there so would recommend bringing ear plugs. Also make sure you don't leave any food crumbs around as an ant party will arrive without delay.

Fatumaru Lodge is a hidden gem! About 10-15 minute walk from the main strip of shops and right on the water which was lovely. Only downside was the wifi/tv being pretty unreliable, but really not important in a beautiful place like Vanuatu!

Not posh enough to be so pricey
If you are traveling with a lot of luggage, be sure to arrange for a taxi. There is a steep, tight turn that many transports are not able to make, including the pick-up to return to the airport. The night guard was very helpful, but it was difficult to get all of our suitcases up to the turn-off for the early morning airport pick up. There was no mosquito net on the single bed for our daughter and the balcony was unscreened. We all three slept in the King size bed (which was quite comfortable). There were only 2 towels, and since we came late and left early, we could not request another. The shower dripped all night long. We had a late arrival and appreciated the flexibility of staff to help us out with that. Our quick overnight was probably not adequate to give a fair trial, but we were not so positively impressed that we feel compelled to return.

The property was lovely, overlooking a lagoon part of the ocean.. great for kayaking. Lovely bungalows, pool, flowers. Friendly, helpful, staff. Rooms nice and cool. Shower leaked a bit but not a big deal. Pleasant pool area. Easy to get a mini van for rides into town or Mele beach on the road by driveway.

Whilst the rooms have been built in a beautiful way which reminds of an Italian albergo the property is in need of some TLC. Our shower head was half blocked and dripped all day and night. The bathroom tiles are grubby. Beds and rooms have been tidy and there is a little outside kitchenette and seating area on the balcony. Pool would also need a clean. Staff have been very friendly and helpful. Good options are a short walk or bus ride away which didn’t bother us. There is a great cafe/ bakery down the road in the shopping center and heaps of restaurants in town.
