Port Vila – Dvalarstaðir

Marius Ástralía

It was the nice quiet relaxing location we were seeking to unwind. New facility and great food. Away from the crowds and a place to relax and enjoy the water. Fresh seafood was a huge plus. Staff was super attentive and friendly. LOVED the space and large couch to both relax on.

Perfect place in Vanuatu! The location is in a secluded area right on the reef with great snorkeling and diving on site. I had no plans of diving but wound up doing my first intro dive here and it was perfect… Peeta is a highly experienced and comforting instructor! The bungalows are new and super clean. Very spacious and just appointed in the nicest way. The atmosphere here is pure relaxation and super friendly. I also stayed at Breakas (right up the road) a few nights and the differences are huge. Breakas was pure party scene and not as clean, where here it’s just quiet and chill (yes they have a bar here as well though). I wound up going to breakas for some fun one night and then sleeping here which was perfect! Here they also provide really good food and you can simply stay here all day and they feed you haha! Getting into town is a little tricky but totally doable. Take the bike, or walk 10 minutes or so to the main road to catch the bus out. Getting back is super easy from town by bus. They have free rental bikes as well which are in excellent shape. I booked 2 nights but wound up staying 3 due to flight cancellation. They accommodated me during my struggle to rebook with the airline and that was such a breath of fresh air.

The entire staff was fantastic. Most of them live in the nearby Eratap village and take great pride in their work. Pascal, the manager, was fantastic. When Vanuatu Airlines never put our luggage on the plane ( along with 41 other pieces) she was quick to followup with the airline and arrange for a ride to the airport to pick up our Luggage. If you are flying to Vanuatu- Fly any airline but Air Vanuatu. We had boarding passes to Fiji for our return flight. When we got to the airport, we found out the flight was cancelled with no notice. They put us up at a local hotel for the night, ( after 3 hours of dealing with their service desk)squeezed us on the next day flight - I’m sure someone else got bumped off, and never paid for the extra 2 nights we had to pay for because we had missed our connecting flight that only goes 3X per week.

We had the MOST incredible experience at Paradise Cove. From the moment we arrived, greeted by owner Constance and shuffled quickly to happy hour, we knew it was going to be amazing. Staff amazing. Food exceptional, like the best I have ever had on a tropical island. Vilas were comfortable and cleaned promptly every day. Water sports gear all clean and available. Awesome cocktails. Did I mention the food? OMG, honestly, I had the Melanesian Fish Salad every single day for lunch. Tried everything else at dinner time. Breakfast was fresh, fabulous and made to order. Massie and Edna were our favourite hosts - they looked after us so well, incredibly kind, amazing service. They treated our 14-year-old daughter like part of the family. I will go back to this incredible piece of paradise again and again. It will become a tradition as it was so special and exceeded our expectations and then some. Constance and Marc who manage and own the resort, are visible every day, friendly and so welcoming - we felt part of the family from the moment we arrived. We had Christmas day there and shared with guests we’d never met before and it was incredible. The food, the beverages, and the conversation. We feel so lucky to have stumbled across this amazing place and we will return. Thank you so much to the team at Paradise Cove...you have created something very special. Kathryn, Jeremy, Leila and Maysie.

Location is spectacular. Good snorkeling on incoming tide with soft golden sand. Many beautiful shells and coral on beach. Great menu for all three meals and another option of a boutique pizza restaurant 50metres down the beach. The gardens and path you walk through to your villa is beautifully maintained and every day fresh flowers are placed in bathrooms, tables and on the various sculptures around the gardens. The staff were so helpful, friendly and fun to interact with.
